答案與題解:
1. B 本題的問題是:非洲流行音樂的不同之處是什么?由第一段倒數(shù)第一句可以得出答案。“It is different also in another way : Many of the songs are very serious and they deal with important social or political issues in Africa today.” A,D項(xiàng)錯誤,C項(xiàng)未提及。
2.D 本題的問題是:對于非洲以外的人來說,非洲流行音樂給他們的感覺是什么?從第一段可以得出答案。“The result is music that may sound familiar to listeners anywhere in the world , but at the same time is distinctly Afican.”故正確選項(xiàng)為D.
3. A 本題的問題是:全文所提到的音樂家的共同的特點(diǎn)是什么?總覽全文可以得出結(jié)論。全文通篇在講有關(guān)社會和政治等嚴(yán)肅主題的音樂,故正確答案為A.B,C,D都有明顯的錯誤。
4. C 本題的問題是:Eric Wainaina的成長細(xì)節(jié)。由第二段可以得出答案。“…and later he moved to Boston to study at the Berklee College of Music.” 其余選項(xiàng)均有錯誤。
5. A 本題的問題是:Witness Mwaijaga 寫有關(guān)女人的問題的原因是什么?答案在第三段第二句“Her own experiences have helped her understand the suffering of many African women.”明顯可見是她有切身經(jīng)歷。所以正確答案為A.
