Question

【題目】Hip-hop culture covers many fields; it includes spoken words, break-dancing, beat-making, painting, fashion, lively design, technology, and more. Hip-hop is becoming the unofficial music in the education world, as more artists launch school programs, summer camps, and other activities connected city youth in the classroom through the beliefs of hip-hop culture. Even more and more university teachers — who once would have been strongly against hip-hop — have joined the crew. In the past two decades, hip-hop culture, including hip-hop education, has become a legitimate(合法的) field of study in universities and the subject of numerous books.

Hip-hop culture has influenced every piece of American and global culture because the culture is so prevalent. Teachers must be willing to engage in it if it's part of the unique reality of their students' lives. That way, teachers can truly be effective, reaching students in a meaningful, culturally connected way.

Teachers might at first feel frightened by hip-hop culture, an area in which they might not have previous knowledge or experience. But a lack of knowledge is actually a blessing; the best trained hip-hop educators have been those that are at the beginning disconnected(分離的) from the culture. One of the biggest sayings in hip-hop is “keep it real”. If a teacher comes to the classroom and says, “I don' t know hip-hop, but I recognize that it's your culture and I want to learn,” the kids will teach the teacher, and then the students will be more willing to learn from that educator. Hip-hop is about a respect for youth culture.

【1】Those who once most probably disagree with hip-hop education are ___________.

A. middle school teachers B. unofficial artists

C. the young living in cities D. university teachers

【2】The underlined word “prevalent” in Paragraph 2 most probably means ____________.

【2】詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)文章第二段Hip-hop culture has influenced every piece of American and global culture because the culture is so prevalent.（嘻哈文化影響了美國(guó)和全球的每一個(gè)文化，因?yàn)檫@種文化非常盛行。）其中influenced every piece of American and global culture（影響美國(guó)和全球文化的每個(gè)方面）提示，可以猜測(cè)出，prevalent為“流行的”之意。故選C。

閱讀理解通常都會(huì)出現(xiàn)詞義猜測(cè)題，要求考生從上下文理解中概括出生詞或短語(yǔ)的詞義。考生作此類(lèi)題型時(shí)，首先要找到所猜測(cè)詞所在文章的位置，然后在理解文章大意的基礎(chǔ)之上，對(duì)此詞前后句反復(fù)研讀，最后根據(jù)前后句猜測(cè)出詞義。例如小題2要求猜測(cè)出prevalent的含義，就是根據(jù)此句Hip-hop culture has influenced every piece of American and global culture because the culture is so prevalent.的內(nèi)容，尤其influenced every piece of American and global culture（影響美國(guó)和全球文化的每個(gè)方面）提示。從而推測(cè)出prevalent為“流行的”之意。
