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（歌词）. 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（头饰）differing in appearance and meaning.

Answer 1

答案：A;D;C;D
解析：

(1)推理判断题。由文章第一段可知，Sarah Bwabye去美国是为了学习而不是做报告；文章并没有显示Sarah Bwabye要放弃她的国家的音乐和舞蹈，相反从第六段她的言语和第七段让听众传看乌干达的乐器可知她对自己国家的舞蹈和音乐感到自豪；选项D在文章第二段提到，并不是推断出的。故答案为A。 (2)猜测词义题。前句话谈到乌干达有50个不同的文化部落，又从后面的连词but及always people can’t tell可判断其分界线并不是很清楚。故答案选D。 (3)细节判断题。由文章第四段可知未谈及C项。 (4)推理判断题。由文章最后一段第二句可判断出。
