　　 解析：36~40题均为五星级题。第36题为C.从上句知道美国最重要的乡村音乐大厅是the Grand Ole Opry，里面全是乡村音乐迷“fans”，又如：football fans；第37题选A. 此题也是从上文信息获得答案，上句是“every Saturday right the place is filled to…”所以是“one Saturday in January 1967”，那么这个夜晚对于一个黑人青年歌手，对于the Grand Ole Opry来说，是个“special”night，38题选B。第39题是a black man，从下文信息获知，“country music”一直是“white music”，这一夜晚之特殊，给人以attraction，都是因为这个著名的音乐大厅里有一个黑人歌手，所以39选D；从全文及上下文看，这个歌手是唱的“country music”，所以40选B。
