【正确答案】 A
【答案解析】[听力原文] W: Charles, as a singer, do you ever make yourself cry when you sing? M: No, not at this age. I'm an old man. But the songs can still get through to me. W: What song writers are currently exciting you? M: I don't know much about song writers. Once in a while, I'll listen to the radio to see what they are putting out, but it's not too often I hear something 1 like. Somebody like Art Tatum can make me sit up and take notice, but some music, like rap, isn't very musical and I can't learn anything from it. You got to do something more than talk to me. W: What's the most difficult kind of music to sing? M: It depends. If I like something, I can sing it. I did the opera Porgiam best and that's said to be a complicated piece of music. And I can do country music, blues and love songs. On the other hand, I can't sing something I don't like and that's one of my defects. W: Can you perform music that's out of tune with the mood you might be in on a given night? M: Yes, because when you sing, you are like an actor performing a part. Once you get out there, you become that part—only you're using music instead of dialogue. I am the kind of a person that if my personal life is hurting, I can go to work and the music will take over. It's like a guy who goes to a bar and drinks. For those few hours, I can wrap myself up in my music. What does Charles say songs can do when he sings them? 语义理解题。对话中男士表示他现在岁数大了,已经过了因为音乐而哭泣的年龄,但是音乐会让他感动。get through to me,这里译为“打动我”。
