Question

　　University junior Sarah Bwabye, who has lived in South Africa, came to the US three years ago to study. Through the University’s International Cultural Service Program, she gives reports about Uganda regularly.

　　“I chose to discuss dance and music because I’m very familiar（熟悉的）with them and have things to show and tell,” explained Bwabye.

　　Uganda is made up of 50 different cultural tribes. But the tribal lines are blurring, and always people can’t tell. Uganda’s national language is English. Many children are not learning their native tongues, which makes her worried about their future.　　In Uganda, dance and music not only give tribes their own identity（身份）, but also unite them. Dance and music unite the youth, and also tie them to their parents and grandparents. In the schools students have dance and music classes. It’s something they grow up with. There are competitions. Through these, dance and music traditions are carried on.

　　Western influence has changed traditional Ugandan dance and music. The music her grandmother and parents once listened to now has included English lyrics（歌詞）. Bwabye showed the gradual change of music with recordings from three different times, playing the music of Ugandan performers such as Jose Chameleone, Afrigo, and Nandujja.

　　“I like my parents’ musical days because it’s relaxing and good music,” she said. “I, of course, like my days because it is what’s played on the radio.”

　　During her presentation, Bwabye passed around Ugandan instruments including a tube fiddle, a bow harp, a shaker, a thumb piano, and several drums.

　　Ugandan music is often a form of storytelling, especially in traditional songs. Traditional music forms different life issues and stories that tell morals（道德）at the end. Both singing and dancing performers wear brightly-colored clothes decorated with different things and tribes wear headgear（頭飾）differing in appearance and meaning.

Answer 1

答案：A;D;C;D
解析：

(1)推理判斷題。由文章第一段可知，Sarah Bwabye去美國(guó)是為了學(xué)習(xí)而不是做報(bào)告；文章并沒(méi)有顯示Sarah Bwabye要放棄她的國(guó)家的音樂(lè)和舞蹈，相反從第六段她的言語(yǔ)和第七段讓聽(tīng)眾傳看烏干達(dá)的樂(lè)器可知她對(duì)自己國(guó)家的舞蹈和音樂(lè)感到自豪；選項(xiàng)D在文章第二段提到，并不是推斷出的。故答案為A。 (2)猜測(cè)詞義題。前句話談到烏干達(dá)有50個(gè)不同的文化部落，又從后面的連詞but及always people can’t tell可判斷其分界線并不是很清楚。故答案選D。 (3)細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。由文章第四段可知未談及C項(xiàng)。 (4)推理判斷題。由文章最后一段第二句可判斷出。
