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.
According to the passage jazz initially started in the 1890s in______.
选项
A、Africa
B、South America
C、New York
D、New Orleans
答案
D
解析
本题为细节题。需要明确“爵士乐的发源地”。选项A.Africa与Blues相关,但第 二段第一句中的“African”并非指发源地,而是指有着美国非洲裔的血源;选项B.SouthAmerica在文中没有提及;选项C.New York则是Rap的发源地;文章第三段第一句“Jazz hasits beginning in the 1890s in New Orleans.”,因此选项D是正确答案。
