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 contributed to the popularity of country music?
选项
A、Cowboy movies in the 1930s and 1940s.
B、Various kinds of musical instruments.
C、The encyclopedia of American music.
D、People from many parts of the world.
答案
A
解析
本题为细节题。要说明“哪一选项内容对乡村音乐的推广起到了积极作用?”的问题。根据短文第四段最后一句话“Cowboy movies in the 1930s and 1940s helped to make country music very popular.(二十世纪三四十年代的牛仔电影使得乡村音乐变得非常流行。)”可以判断选项A是正确的。选项B意为“各种各样的乐器”则只是说明乡村音乐中使用了多种多样的乐器,并没有说明对乡村音乐的推广作用;选项C则只是提到了音乐百科,但文章第一段只是说音乐百科像一个小图书馆,并没有说明对乡村音乐起到推动作用;选项D所说的来自世界各地的人们则是对最初形式的爵士乐起到了一定的作用。
