【要点综述】你知道探戈舞的历史吗？

它是如何诞生的？

又如何传播到世界各地？

且看本文一一道来。

72．D　细节理解题。

根据题干中“theoriginofthetango”定位到第一段的内容，可知探戈起源于阿根廷首都，故选D。

73．C　推理判断题。

根据题干中的关键词“tango”定位到文章第二段第三句“Atthattime,thereweremanyfewerwomenthanmen,soifamandidn'twanttobeleftout,hisonlychoicewastodancewithanothermansothathecouldattracttheattentionofthefewavailablewomen.”，因此可知C项正确。

74．C　细节理解题。

根据题干中的关键词“BeforeWorldWarⅠ”定位到最后一段。

探戈传到美国是第一次世界大战结束后，传到日本是1926年，传到韩国更晚。

由此可知，答案A、B、D均不对。

而从文章第三段可知，探戈传到法国应该是在第一次世界大战之前。

故选C。

75．B　主旨大意题。

根据题干中的关键词“besttitle”定位到文章的内容。

由文章内容可知，文章首段讲述了探戈的诞生，接着讲述了探戈的传播，也就是说，全文讲述的是探戈的历史。

故选B。
