說(shuō)唱和嘻哈是非�，F(xiàn)代的音樂(lè)類型，嘻哈文化在上世紀(jì)70年代起源于紐約，很快在世界各地流行起來(lái)。這篇短文用兩個(gè)例子講述了不同國(guó)家的人們對(duì)嘻哈音樂(lè)的熱愛。

【1】句意：嘻哈音樂(lè)起源于20世紀(jì)70年代的紐約市，但最近在全世界都很流行。

考查形容詞辨析及語(yǔ)境。fresh新鮮的；confident自信的；popular流行的，受歡迎的；traditional傳統(tǒng)的。由空后“Artists from different backgrounds rap about everything from cars and designer clothes to social issues.”“來(lái)自不同背景的藝術(shù)家說(shuō)唱的內(nèi)容包羅萬(wàn)象”以及下文中給出的兩個(gè)例子可以看到，嘻哈音樂(lè)在全世界都很受歡迎。故選C。

【2】句意：這里有兩個(gè)例子。

考查名詞辨析及語(yǔ)境。lessons課；problems問(wèn)題；levels水平；examples例子。根據(jù)下文的內(nèi)容可知，短文中用兩個(gè)例子，闡述了不同國(guó)家的人們對(duì)嘻哈音樂(lè)的喜愛。文章中舉了兩個(gè)例子，一個(gè)是捷克共和國(guó)，另一個(gè)是塞內(nèi)加爾的達(dá)喀爾。D選項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境，故選D。

【3】句意：在一些地方，他們受到的待遇也不如其他地方公平。

考查副詞辨析及語(yǔ)境。fairly公平地；simply簡(jiǎn)單地；sadly悲傷地；deeply深深地。根據(jù)句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，這個(gè)副詞修飾前面的動(dòng)詞treated，結(jié)合上文“Many Roma are poor.”“很多羅姆人很窮”，由此可推測(cè)，因?yàn)榱_姆人非常貧窮，他們受到了不公平的待遇。A選項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境，故選A。

【4】句意：威廉姆斯相信這些青少年可以用音樂(lè)來(lái)改變他們的生活和其他人對(duì)他們的態(tài)度。

考查名詞辨析及語(yǔ)境。rights權(quán)利；plans計(jì)劃；attitudes態(tài)度；sights風(fēng)景，視野。結(jié)合第3小題的解釋以及空后的towards可知，這里表示“對(duì)……的態(tài)度”，故選C。

【5】句意：他們唱著鄉(xiāng)村漁民的生活，唱著長(zhǎng)時(shí)間辛苦工作卻幾乎沒(méi)有收入的生活。

考查動(dòng)詞辨析及語(yǔ)境。singing唱歌；working工作；sleeping睡覺(jué)；walking散步，走路。根據(jù)空前“their lives as village fishermen….”以及空后“…and earning almost no money”可知，這些漁民們工作的時(shí)間很長(zhǎng)、很辛苦，但收入?yún)s很少。B選項(xiàng)符合語(yǔ)境，故選B。

【6】句意：N’ Diaye 夢(mèng)想有更好的生活。

考查動(dòng)詞短語(yǔ)辨析及語(yǔ)境。hears of聽說(shuō)；gets tired of去除，擺脫；dreams of夢(mèng)想；runs out用完，耗盡。空后是a better life“更好的生活”，下句話提到“He wants to…”可知，這里表達(dá)的是N’ Diaye的夢(mèng)想。故選C。

這篇短文舉例說(shuō)明了全世界各地人們對(duì)嘻哈文化的喜愛。文章主題明確，結(jié)構(gòu)清晰，篇幅稍長(zhǎng)，只設(shè)了六個(gè)空，留給學(xué)生們的信息較多，有利于學(xué)生們理解文意。題型是完形填空，考查學(xué)生們?cè)诰唧w語(yǔ)境中運(yùn)用語(yǔ)言的能力，綜合性較強(qiáng)。做題時(shí)，先跳過(guò)空格，通讀全文，了解文章大意，把握文章邏輯；然后根據(jù)語(yǔ)境做題，注意空前后的搭配，并仔細(xì)辨析選項(xiàng)中單詞的意思和用法；最后將答案代入原文，再讀一遍，檢查答案是否正確。如第3小題，考查修飾動(dòng)詞的副詞辨析，表示“……地對(duì)待”，再結(jié)合語(yǔ)境羅姆人很貧窮，便可推測(cè)出，他們受到不公平的對(duì)待。
