第三部分  阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)

第一节(共15小题;每小题2分，满分30分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳 选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Immigrants to the coast of southern Appalachian Mountains of North America brought the music and instruments of the Old World along with them for nearly 300 years. They brought some of their most important  valuables with them. To most of them this was an instrument. Early Scottish settlers enjoyed the violin because it could be played to sound sad or li vely. The Irish violin, the German dulcimer, the Italian mandolin, the Spanish guitar, and the West African banjo were the most common musical instruments.

The communication among musicians fr om different ethnic groups(族群)produ ced music unique to this region of North America. Appalachian string bands(弦乐队)of the early 20th century primarily consisted of the violin, guitar, and banjo. This early country music along with early recorded country m usic is often referred to as old-time music.

According to Bill Malone in Country Music U.S.A, country music was “introduced to the world as a southern phenomenon.” In the South, folk music was a combination of cultural types, combining musical traditions of a variety of ethnic groups in the region. For example, some instrumental pieces from Anglo-Celtic immigrants were the basis of folk songs and ballads that form what is now known as old time music, from which country music descended. It is commonly thought that British and Irish folk music influenced the development of old time music. British and Irish arrivals to the Southern U.S. included immigrants from Scotland, Wales, Ireland, and England.

When many people think or hear country music, they think of it as a creation of European-Americans. However, a great deal of style-and of course, the banjo, a major instrument in most early American folk songs-came from African Americans. One of the reasons country music was created by African-Americans, as well as European-Americans, is that blacks and whites in rural communities in the south often worked and played together.

56.Where might the immigrants live 300 years ago according to the first paragraph?

A.In the mountains.      B.Near the sea.

C.Along the lakes.      D.By the rives.

57.Why did early Scottish settlers like to play the violin?

A.Because the violin could produce sound sad or cheerful.

B.Because the settlers al ways had nothing to do.

C.Because the settlers wanted to win the competitions among themselves.

D.Because the violin could bring about happy feelings in the settlers’ life.

58.What can we infer from the se cond paragraph?

A.Different kinds of instruments made the music unique.

B.Musicians from different ethnic groups liked to exchange ideas with each other.

C.Musicians never gave their own music to others.

D.Old-time music was played by the violin, guitar, and mandolin in the beginning.
