Modern American music is rich in its variety of forms, styles, and instruments. A complete encyclopedia (百科全书) of American music is a small library! By just looking at a few types of American music, we can see much diversity.
Blues music, which goes back to the 1860s, has African American roots. Blues singers often sing of sad themes: feelings of loneliness or hunger, or being far away from home. The banjo and the washboard were common instruments in early blues music. The harmonica, guitar, and piano are some of the many other instruments used in blues.
Jazz has its beginnings in the 1890s in New Orleans. The musical contributions of people from many parts of the world came together in this port on the Mississippi River to create the early versions of jazz. Now jazz comes in many forms and is popular in the United States and many other countries.
The fiddle is a common instrument in early country music, but today we hear many kinds of instruments in country music, especially the guitar. Cowboy movies in the 1930s and 1940s helped to make country music very popular.
Rap music has its origins in New York in the early 1970s. Rap uses a lot of rhyming. Rhymes are words that sound the same. Many young people like the beat in rap music.
Like all music, modern American music causes people to sing, dance, smile, and cry. American music is sometimes controversial (有争议的), but it shows us the diversity of American culture.
Which of the following is a musical instrument?
选项
A、Blues.
B、Harmonica.
C、Jazz.
D、Rap.
答案

解析
本题为细节题。需要找出所给选项中“哪一个是乐器?”。从文中第二、三、五段的句首可知Blues,Jazz和Rap都属于音乐类型。而B.选项出现在第二段最后一句话,和guitar.piano等词并列,并且后半句清楚地指出这些都是blues音乐演奏中常使用的乐器。因此选项B为正确答案。
