Question

【題目】

Music is something that every person has his or her own opinion about. Different people have different tastes, and various types of music have many ways of leaving an effect on someone. It can be relaxing, angering, soothing (撫慰的), energizing, and many more.

There are so many types of music out there today. Rap, pop, rock, country, indie, alternative, hardcore are some of the abundant (豐富的) types in the world. Music sends out either good or bad messages that have big impacts on how people act. People usually become friends with others who have the same taste in music as the rest of the people they hang out with. People may not want to associate with people who have different tastes in music because they’ll argue about what they think is better, but they are just their own opinions.

Rap and Rock music are two very important types of music in the world. They both send out different messages and help kids. The lyrics sung or rapped by the artists can be things going on in their own personal lives, and people with the same types of problems can listen to them so they know their hopes and people like this out there in the world. Music can also serve as a catalyst (催化劑) for new ideas. When people listen to the new things out there, they learn different things going on in the world and they become more open-minded.

People can use music to express themselves, in ways it can’t be expressed through behavior, or art. You can usually tell how someone’s feeling by the type of music he or she is listening to at the time. It’s a tool used by many. Groups of people around the world can come together and gather at concerts, shows, and venues to show what their interests and likings are and you see how many people have similar likings as you.

【解析】

音樂是每個人都對其有自己特定看法的東西。音樂的偏好因人而異，人們也可以用音樂來表達自己，展示自己。

【1】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“Rap, pop, rock, country, indie, alternative, hardcore are some of the abundant (豐富的) types in the world.”可知，被提及的有說唱，流行，搖滾，鄉(xiāng)村，獨立音樂，另類說唱，硬核這七種音樂類型。故選C。

【2】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Music sends out either good or bad messages that have big impacts on how people act.”以及第三段中的“Music can also serve as a catalyst for new ideas.”可知，音樂能夠發(fā)出影響人們行為的好信息或壞信息，并且作為新主意的催化劑；根據(jù)第四段中第一句“People can use music to express themselves”可知，人們能通過音樂表達他們自己，而不是音樂能表達它本身，所以C錯誤。故選C。

【3】細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中“People usually become friends with others who have the same taste in music”可知，在音樂上有著相同品味的人能做朋友，所以喜歡鄉(xiāng)村和流行音樂的人會和有著一樣品味的其他人做朋友。故選A。

【4】推理判斷題。every coin has two sides事物都有兩面性；birds of a feather flock together物以類聚人以群分；a friend in need is a friend indeed患難見真情。根據(jù)最后一段最后一句“Groups of people around the world can come together... you see how many people have similar likings as you.”可知，在音樂會、表演以及各種展示興趣愛好的聚會上，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)有著和你相同愛好的人，所以最貼合的諺語應(yīng)是物以類聚人以群分。故選B。

【5】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第一段中“and various types of music have many ways of leaving an effect on someone.”不同種類的音樂都有多種方式對人們產(chǎn)生影響以及第三段舉例搖滾和流行音樂對人們造成影響的方式可知，文章的主題是音樂怎么影響人們。故選C。
