问题 The main idea of this passage is that ______.
Which of the following is NOT the reason for the decline in amateur singing?
选项 A、It is easier for people to please themselves with songs through TV and radio.
B、Amateurs feel embarrassed for they cannot sing as well as the professionals.
C、People don’t want to take the trouble to sing songs themselves.
D、Famous and talented musicians can easily be met.
答案D
解析 本题可采用排除法。答案主要在第四段。第三段的结尾句提出这种现象，第四段论述了原因。根据第一句到第三句“…One，human beings are astonishingly lazy．Put a lift in a building，and...Similarly，invent a machine that sings，and people would rather let the machine sing than sing themselves(……第一点原因，人们变得非常懒惰，有了电梯，人们就不愿自己爬楼梯了，……同样道理，有了会唱歌的机器，人们宁愿让机器唱而不愿费力自己唱了)”可推知A、C选项都是业余歌手下降的原因。第四句和第五句“The other reason is that people are easily embarrassed．When there is a famous，talented musician readily available by pushing a button，which amateur violinist or pianist would want to try to entertain family or friends by himself?．(另一个原因是人们很容易觉得不好意思。因为随便按一下按钮就可以听到一位著名的优秀的音乐家的演奏，哪个业余选手还想自己表演来娱乐家人呢?)”的言外之意是他们觉得自己没有专业演员表演得好，故B选项也是原因之一。只有D选项不是恰当的原因，原文是说容易听到专业音乐人的演唱或演奏，而不是容易见到他们本人(easily be met)。
