做英语阅读 有个问题 不懂，请指教

Yet this most fundamental standard of historical periodization conceals a host of paradoxes.
Nearly every movie theater, however modest, had a piano or organ to provide musical
accompaniment to silent pictures. In many instances, spectators in the era before recorded sound
experienced elaborate aural presentations alongside movies' visual images, from the Japanese
benshi (narrators) crafting multivoiced dialogue narratives to original musical compositions
performed by symphony-size orchestras in Europe and the United States. In Berlin, for the
premiere performance outside the Soviet Union of The Battleship Potemkin, film director Sergei
Eisenstein worked with Austrian composer Edmund Meisel (1874-1930) on a musical score
matching sound to image; the Berlin screenings with live music helped to bring the film its wide
international fame.

问题是
5. Paragraph 2 suggests which of the following about Eisenstein’s film The Battleship
Potemkirf?
○ The film was not accompanied by sound before its Berlin screening.
○ The film was unpopular in the Soviet Union before it was screened in Berlin.
○ Eisenstein’s film was the first instance of collaboration between a director and a composer.
○ Eisenstein believed that the musical score in a film was as important as dialogue.

答案是第一个 ，但是 我看不出来
请指教 是文中哪个地方 给出答案？？为什么？？
顺便问一句
for the
premiere performance outside the Soviet Union of The Battleship Potemkin,是什么意思
尤其是 outside 在这里 是什么意思？做什么成分 ？修饰什么 ？
这句话结构是什么样的？？

Answer 1

我觉得，不明白该选什么，主要问题出自你没有理解premiere performance outside the Soviet Union，意思是“在苏联以外的首次公演”。
按照文中的意思，这是一部苏联默片，国外的首次公演在德国。在德国首映之前，导演与澳大利亚作曲家合作谱了与电影画面配合的乐谱；也正是通过德国的这次伴声放映，影片的声誉达到了国际高度。

首先说说选择题：
答案2：文中只是说，德国伴声演绎提高了影片的国际声誉，没有说之前在苏联国内无声版就不流行。
答案3：没有证据表明导演和作曲家的合作，本片是第一次。
答案4：没有提到导演对此一点的看法。
唯一在文中有充分证据的只有答案1。

然后是对这一句的解释：
In Berlin, for the premiere performance outside the Soviet Union of The Battleship Potemkin, film director Sergei Eisenstein worked with Austrian composer Edmund Meisel (1874-1930) on a musical score matching sound to image;
在柏林，为了《战舰波将金号》在苏联国外的首次公映，电影导演谢尔盖·爱森斯坦与澳大利亚作曲家爱德蒙.梅瑟合作谱写了与画面配合的乐谱。
分开的话，for [the premiere performance] [outside the Soviet Union] [of THE BATTLESHIP POTEMKIN]，for后面是词组，如果把后面outsideXXXX和ofXXXX调换顺序，就很容易理解了：“《战舰波将金号》 在苏联国外的 首次公演”。

Answer 2

-In Berlin, for the premiere performance outside the Soviet Union of The Battleship Potemkin
The Battleship Potemkin这部电影在苏联以外的首次公演是在柏林
- the Berlin screenings with live music helped to bring the film its wide international fame
而这次柏林公演，由于有现场音乐伴奏，使得影片获得国际知名度
——所以，The film was not accompanied by sound before its Berlin screening，不然的话，它在苏联就该出名了，对吧？

Answer 3

其它人回答太牵强，都是为了得分吧？就这一段，我也没看出几者时间上的先后次序。有一个可能是，楼主没有贴出下文（应该还有下文吧？），关于这道题得答案信息应该在下文才算明了！！！

Answer 4

You can go about this question in two ways.

1. "In Berlin, for the
premiere performance outside the Soviet Union of The Battleship Potemkin, film director Sergei
Eisenstein worked with Austrian composer Edmund Meisel (1874-1930) on a musical score
matching sound to image; the Berlin screenings with live music helped to bring the film its wide
international fame." ------ This part of the reading suggests that it was only for the Berlin premier that they composed musical scores for the film. Hence, the answer should be the first one.

2. You can also you process of elimination.

○ The film was not accompanied by sound before its Berlin screening. ----Most likely true
○ The film was unpopular in the Soviet Union before it was screened in Berlin. ------ Assumption. The article did NOT state that the film was unpopular in the Soviet Union. So this is not the right answer.
○ Eisenstein’s film was the first instance of collaboration between a director and a composer. ---- Again, the essay did not say weather or not this is the first time a director and a composer have worked together. So this is the wrong answer as well.
○ Eisenstein believed that the musical score in a film was as important as dialogue. ----- Again, the paragraph did not mention this so you cannot make assumptions. This is the wrong answer.

"for the premiere performance outside the Soviet Union of The Battleship Potemkin" means

”The Battleship Potemkin“ 在苏联外的首映

Here, "outside" means countries that are not soviet union.

Hope this helped.
