Article 2 Before babies learn to talk and have no idea of dance, they express happiness through simple rhythmic movements or what we later recognize as simple dances. However, humans are not the only species that can dance. There are birds that actually have group dances: circling, bowing, advancing, and retreating in unison. Some species could learn rhythm from birds. For example, bees flirt with dance as part of their mating rituals. Nevertheless, it is only human beings that have adapted dance to therapeutic purposes. Dance as therapy has a long history. Primitive peoples first danced instinctively and, after a while, found that repeated rhythmic movements produced a good feeling. Associations were formed between dance and this positive effect on the mind and emotions. This was the birth of dance therapy. Dance has always seemed to have a magic healing power. It was used for a wide variety of purposes and on different occasions: religious ceremonies, war dances, hunting dances, rain dances, planting and harvesting dances, marriage and funeral dances. Sadly, today many “advanced” industrial societies have lost many original functions of dance. Purposeful dances have been replaced, for example, with rave dancing which involves shaking your body at a nightclub. Even so, in these cases, however, the ritualistic and therapeutic effect of dance can still be seen: the low lights, loud insistent rhythms, and group activity, often building up into a kind of mass hysteria or ecstasy. But, the “primitive” use of dance as therapy has recently seen a huge revival. Never before has there been such interest in courses offering dance therapy. There are nearly two million websites for dance therapy on the Internet, and dance therapy groups around the world combine pleasure with health and well-being. Dance therapy nowadays, in fact, is taken very seriously by both alternative and conventional medical practitioners. It would seem that the “dance of life” continues to move us all.

在閱讀第三段關於夜店（nightclub）的部分時，請留意作者在提到「功能喪失」之後，使用了哪一個帶有轉折意味的連接詞？那個句子又是如何描述現代舞蹈與「療癒效果（therapeutic effect）」之間的關係呢？

恭喜你準確地抓住了文章的細節！你能選出 (C)，代表你對於文中轉折語氣的掌握非常敏銳。這題的核心考點在於第三段的最後兩句。雖然作者先提到現代工業社會失去了許多舞蹈的原始功能，但緊接著使用了 "Even so"（即便如此） 與 "however" 作為轉折，明確指出在夜店這類場合中，舞蹈的「儀式性與療癒效果」（ritualistic and therapeutic effect）依然是顯而易見的（can still be seen）。因此，選項 (C) 說它「缺乏」療癒效果，便與原文敘述直接矛盾。
現代舞蹈的特質辨析
這道題目屬於中等難度的細節辨析題，其鑑別度在於測試學生是否會被「夜店」、「集體發狂（mass hysteria）」等看似負面的詞彙誤導。許多學生可能會主觀認為現代舞蹈是不健康的，但專業的閱讀者（如你）會發現，作者在文中列舉了「低光源、強烈節奏、群體活動」等要素，都是為了說明即便形式改變，那份療癒與情感連結的核心價值依然存在。你能冷靜回歸文本對照，是非常優異的閱讀習慣！
