21．（6分）“With depressingly few exceptions, performances are dull and lack vitality…
notyetAfter years of trying to convince mylf otherwi, I now feel sure that ballet is dying.”
-----Jennifer Homans, Apollo’s Angels
Is ballet dead? Has the art form evolved to depression? Jennifer Homans’s conclusion to her fascinating history of ballet, Apollo’s Angels, is worrying.
It appears that ballet’s pul continues to beat strongly, however, especially with a Tchaikovsky defibrillator attached. So why are some dance commentators arguing that ballet is dying? And do they have a point?
“Ballet is dead”----“Ballet is dying” ---all ring tones of Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophical claim: “God is dead.” Headline grabbling, certainly. Yet can ballet be defined in such black and white terms? Surely it is more abstract, filled with shades of popular grey. ①
To start with, how do you define ballet? What is ballet today? Consider popular modern classics like Twyla Tharp’s In the Upper Room, where dancers wear pointy shoes and sneakers, combining contemporary and classical vocabulary together. Or clor to h ome, there is Graeme Murphy’s Swan Lake, which layers elements of Petipa’s choreography(编舞) with a contemporary theme and aesthetic. Many contemporary choreographers all embrace classical form and principles, then manipulate(操纵) the rules. ②.
The line between contemporary dance and ballet is vague. In an interview with The Telegraph (2015), British choreographer Mattew Bourne acknowledges that this “cross-fertilisation” between contemporary dance and ballet continues to grow, as evidenced by the ri in new commissions from contemporary choreographers at the Royal Ballet and English National Ballet. Referring to Homans’s book, Bourne believes what has changed is that “the dance forms are coming clor together”. Not dying, but merging. Reinventing. This has been the ca amongst Australasian ballet companies for many years now. ③.
Homans writes that ballet’s decline began after the passing of Ashton and Balanchine. Something ahs changed, certainly. A stylisic transition----from neo-classical to contemporary ballet----has occurred. ④
Our art form’s evolution has always been with extinction. Prominent dance critic with The New York Times, Alastair Macaulay, says: “ballet has died again and again over the centuries,” and yet, “phoenix-like, ro again from its ashes”. History shows there were periods where ballet hibernated and lacked popularity. This coincided with the art form’s changing forums.
So here is the irony: what lls best, still, are reproductions of Petipa’s classics. A ason without a Tch aikovsky score is a financial risk. And without Nutcracker(《胡桃夹子》), half the ballet companies in North America would not exist. Admittedly, as a dancer, my favourite roles---Albrecht, Prince Siegfried and Romeo----were from the classical canon; I am a traditionalist at heart (who loves to be challenged by good contemporary ballets). A part of the charm behind classical repertoire, for me, was in reproducing the glories of past greats. Classical ballet’s framework supports the modern process of bench-marking.
Perhaps Jennifer Homans’s thoughts are not completely unfounded. Perhaps ballet is dying for som
e. Ballet’s evolution has been delayed by its audiences. And as Homans suggests in her epilogue, perhaps also by its creatives.
Now here is a bold prediction. In line with the Royal Ballet’s programming in Brisbane this year----of Christopher Wheeldon’s The Winter’s Tale, and Wayne MacGregor’s Woolf Works----over the next 20 years, ballet’s reliance on Petipa will decrea. Contemporary ballets and merge-styled ballets will produce their box-office influence ever more.
Why?
It is simple: our audiences will be ready for ballet to change again.

22．（8分）Thousands of free, popular children's apps available on the Google Play Store could be violating the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), according to a new, large-scale study, highlighting growing criticism of Silicon Valley's datacollection efforts. “This is a market failure，” said Serge Egelman, a coauthor of the study. “What we have uncovered points out basic enforcement(执行) work that needs to be done.”
The potential violations were abundant and came in veral forms, according to the study. More than 1，000 children's apps collected identifying information from kids using tracking software who terms explicitly forbid their u for children's apps. The rearchers also said nearly half the apps fail to always u standard curity measures to transmit nsitive data over the Web, suggesting a violation of reasonable data-curity measures laid out by COPPA．Some of the apps in question included Disney's “Where's My Water？”，Gameloft's “Minion Rush” and Duolingo, a language learning app. The findings also suggested that app creators that had been officially recognized as
COPPA-compliant(遵守) were no better than any of the other app developers at protecting children's privacy.
Disney argued that the study doesn't claim to identify any actual violations. “Protecting children's online privacy is very important to us and we are confident that our practices comply with the law，” the company said. “We have a sound COPPA compliance program, and we maintain strict data collection and u policies for Disney apps created for children and families.”
Gameloft announced that children's privacy is of “utmost importance” and is investigating the issue. “We have a very strict data-collection policy at Gameloft and always make sure that we are compliant with protection laws，” the company said.
Duolingo did not respond to requests for comment.
Although Google stated that “We are taking the rearcher's report very riously and looking into their findings”，critics of Google's app platform say the company has profited greatly from advances in data-tracking technology.
