问题     It has been thought and said that Africans are born with musical talent(才能). Because music is so important in the lives of many Africans and because so much music is performed in Africa, we are likely to think that all Africans are musicians. The impression is strengthened when we look at ourselves and find that we have become largely a society of musical spectators (旁观者). Music is important to us, but most of us can be considered consumers (消费者)rather than producers of music We have records, television, concerts, and radio to meet many of our musical needs. In most situations where music is performed in our culture it is not difficult to tell the audience from the performers, but such is often not the case in Africa Alban Ayipaga, a Kasena semiprofessional musician from northern Ghana, says that when his flute and drum ensemble(歌舞团)is performing, "Anybody can take part". This is true, but Kasena musicians recognize that not all people are equally capable of taking part in the music. Some can sing along with the drummers, but relatively few can drum and even fewer can play the flute along with the ensemble. It is fairly common in Africa for there to be an ensemble of expert musicians surrounded by others who join in by clapping, singing, or somehow adding to the totality of musical sound Performances often take place in an open area (that is, not on a stage) and so the lines between the performing nucleus and the additional performers, active spectators, and passive spectators may be difficult to draw our point of view.
选项 A、most of us are consumers while most of them are producers of music
B、we are musical performers and they are semiprofessional musicians
C、most of us are passive spectators while they are active spectators
D、we are the audience and they are the additional performers
答案C
解析 推理题。比较我们与非洲人在音乐上的不同，综观全文，非洲人积极地参与到音乐中，而我们只是纯粹的旁观者。因此应选[C]项。
