解答 66.C 推理判斷題.從第一段中所描述的By the end of October 2012,the song reached the number one position online in 33 countries including Australia,Canada,F(xiàn)rance,Germany,and the United Kingdom.可知《江南Style》已經(jīng)在世界各地變得非常受人歡迎.所以答案選C.
67.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.從文章第二段的"Gangnam Style"has become a new Korean expression that refers to a lifestyle in the Gangnam district of Seoul,where people are trendy ad modern.可知,A項為正確答案.
68.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段中的So this song is actually teasing such people as are keen to be famous,saying that they are"Gangnam Style",but in fact they are showy and silly.可知這首歌實際上是想調(diào)侃江南區(qū)那些假裝時尚而并非如此的人.所以答案選C.
69.D 推理判斷題.本文并沒有直接對歌曲的曲調(diào)進(jìn)行說明或描述,但是根據(jù)文章的描述,《江南Style》之所以大受歡迎,除了騎馬舞動作之外,其調(diào)侃江南區(qū)的人采用的非常詼諧、滑稽的曲調(diào)也是其中的原因之一.所以選D.
70.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題.文章最后一段介紹了韓國歌手PSY創(chuàng)作《江南Style》中騎馬舞的艱苦付出.雖然曾經(jīng)嘗試了許多動物的動作,但文章最后的…before settling for the horse,which involves pretending to ride a horse.說明了他的舞蹈中包含了許多騎馬的動作,故選D.C項并非最后一段的細(xì)節(jié),同時也與文章倒數(shù)第二段的內(nèi)容不符.
