Scholars often fail to see that music played an important role in the preservation of African culture in the United States. They correctly note that slavery stripped some cultural elements from Black people-their political and economic systems-but they underestimate the significance of music in sustaining other African cultural values. African music, unlike the music of some other cultures, was based on a total vision of life in which music was not an isolated social domain. In African culture music was pervasive, serving not only religion, but all phases of life, including birth, death, work, and play. The methods that a community devises to perpetuate itself come into being to preserve aspects of the cultural legacy that that community perceives as essential. Music, like art in general, was so inextricably a part of African culture that it became a crucial means of preserving the culture during and after the dislocations of slavery.
the phrase “isolated social domain” refers to
　　(A) African music in relation to contemporary culture as a whole
　　(B) music as it may be perceived in non-African cultures
　　(C) a feature of African music that aided in transmitting African cultural values
　　(D) an aspect of the African cultural legacy
　　(E) the influence of music on contemporary culture

答案选的是B

这题我有印象,记得老师讲过,特意去翻了笔记……
第三句说非洲音乐不像其它音乐,它基于生活,而不仅仅来自于某个独立的社会范畴,所以就说明非洲音乐也可能被那些不是非洲的文化所接受和感知.整篇文章说的是音乐在美国非洲文化的重要性,而不单单是非洲文化,所以选了B.
你当时选的啥啊?
