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.
The word "diversity" (Para. 1 and Para. 6) most probably means______.
选项
A、background
B、influence
C、variety
D、significance
答案
C
解析
本题为词义猜测题。文章第一段最后一句的意思是“只需看看美国音乐的一些类型,我们就能看出许多diversity。”之后四段都是在讨论美国不同的音乐。第六段中说“美国音乐有时颇有争议,但却给我们展示了美国文化的diversity。”由此可见选项C表示的“多样性”是正确答案。而background(背景)、influence(影响)和significance(意义)均不符合题意。
