From her wheelchair, a child raises rounded arms above her head to form a blossoming flower. Nearby, a blind boy gently waves a flowing scarf as his body sways back and forth. Welcome to Infinite Dreams, a southern California program that each year helps more than 1,000 children with disabilities learn ballet, jazz, and other forms of movement. For founder Zina Bethune, a professional dancer and actress who works with a team of six instructors, this is a deeply felt mission. "I've walked a very fine line between the abled and disabled worlds all' my life," says Bethune, a former soloist with the New York City Ballet who starred on Broadway in Tommy Tune's production of Grand Hotel. Born and raised in New York City, Bethune, 47, started formal ballet training at age 6 with legendary choreographer George Balanchine. But during adolescence, a host of medical problems mined her chances of becoming a prima ballerina. But she ignored them and her pain and continued to dance. Faced with all sorts of difficulties, she never gave up. By the time she was 34, Bethune had went gone two hip replacements. Bethune, who has been married for 18 years to a former dancer, started Infinite Dreams in southern California in 1983. "Dance is spiritual," she says. "And these children's spirits are not disabled." Funded through grants and private donations, the group offers hour-long weekly sessions in schools and performs at arts festivals throughout the year. "Participation, not perfection, is emphasized," notes Bethune, who is currently trying to make her program available nationally. Adjustments to the dance steps are made as needed. Russell Bartel, 14, a star student with spina bifida and little feeling in his lower legs, pirouettes not by turning on his toes but by spinning on his back. "What we try to make clear," Bethune says, "is that their individual version of any step is valid. That's their dance." From that understanding often springs a newfound sense of confidence. "I can do a lot more than I ever thought I could." Bartel says. "It makes me feel great./

What kind of organization is Infinite Dreams?
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】考查细节。原文的第一段就出现了Infinite Dreams这样的一个组织的名称，结合文章的意思，这个机构是为了身体有残障的儿童组织的，使得这些儿童也能得到艺术的教育和艺术表演的机会，所以B项正确的表达了这样的意思；其他选项都是在原文零散信息点的基础上编造的，它们和原文的对应关系分别是，A项对应 southern California；C项对应disabled children，但应该是残障儿童来表演，而不是表演给它们看；D项对应professional dancers and actresses，但这是创办者的身份，而不是这个组织的成员。

What do we know about Bethune from the passage?
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】考查细节。文章中连续出现数字的时候，考生需要注意，很有可能在这些地方设置题目，因为数字多，可以为干扰选项的设计提供很好的素材；A项错在“never left ever since”，在原文中，Bethune创办Infinite Dreams的时候是在southern California，绝对化描述在干扰选项中的高频出现值得我们的关注；B项提到34岁这个年龄，原文中34岁是用来描述在此之前她经历了两次手术，是否在这一年创办 Infinite Dreams在原文中没有相关的信息，我们无法判断；C项是正确的，需要结合文章中她开始接受训练的时间和之后的坚持两个信息点来作出判断；D项把她经历一系列疾病和6岁这两个信息点之间进行了组合，这种关系是虚构出来的，这样的选项也是应该排除的。
