问题     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.
What feature of rap music is enjoyed most by many young people?
选项 A、Its sound.
B、Its origins.
C、Its beat.
D、Its instruments.
答案C
解析 本题为细节题。本题的问题是“年轻人喜欢说唱音乐的哪一特点?”选项A说是声音；选项B说是起源；选项C说是节奏；选项D说是乐器。文章第五段指出“Rap uses a lotof rhyming．Rhymes are words that sound the same．Many young people like the beat in rapmusic．”。由此可以看出前一句中的“Rhymes”与后一句中的“beat”应为同义。故与选项C意思一致。
