问题     Throughout the years, music has been a common thread that unites generations and had provided social commentary, individual expression, and a soundtrack for life. Music has evolved and changed as time has moved forward, and become, in some cases more of an art, and in other cases, less than one.
    Today music has nearly universal appeal—though there are more styles and types of music than ever before, mere are also wider gaps in ever between groups who listen to certain types of music. This said, however there are still millions of Americans who consider themselves to have "global musical tastes" meaning that they listen" to numerous genres of music on a regular basis instead of focusing their time and attention on only rap, country, or rock and roll.
    In Utah, as in most other parts of the country, mere are many people who listen to a broad range of music: from Oldies to Emo and from Blues to Hip Hop. These varying tastes in music are reflected by the concerts in Utah during any given year.
    Utah’s concerts range from me biggest names in Hip Hop and Country music to Rock and Roll acts that you might have thought had been dissolved in the 80’s. There seems to be just as much excitement for a Cyndi Lauper or Pretenders reunion tour as for a tour from Snoop Dog or The Foo Fighters. The sheer dynamism of Utah concert goers—in age and musical taste makes Utah a "must stop" for most any musical act.
    Utah’s conceit scene consists of many small venues such as bars and private clubs that host touring acts year round, as well as a few large venues, both indoor and outdoor that host only the larger acts and are only open during certain times of the year—as dictated by sports team schedules and weather.
    The varying degrees of concert venues in Utah makes for an additional plus for great musical acts to stop in Utah. There are obviously some acts, while very well received in bars and small venues, that just would not be able to fill a 20,000 seat amphitheater. Thus, the various small venues are perfect for lesser known or up-and-coming rock and country acts that are not quite able to fill the bigger venues.
    All things considered, Utah has a lot going for it in terms of creating a solid environment for musical acts as well as fans of music from a myriad of genres. As the state continues to grow and become a more mainstream culture, concerts in Utah will continue to be growing attractions. [br] The author tends to agree that the Americans
选项 A、are restrained to rap, country and rock and roll.
B、are restrained to the same genre of music.
C、have developed global musical tastes.
D、have developed their local music.
答案 C
解析 第3段首句中的a broad range of music表明作者认为美国人听音乐的兴趣很广泛，这一点就是上一段第2句提到的global musical tastes，因此，本题应选C。第2段第2句中的still似乎表示作者认为美国人不愿承认他们只喜欢听rap，country，and Rock and Roll，但下一段的内容就可以推翻这一点，也就可以将A排除。其他两个选项更没有原文依据。
