题目解答
答案
（1）细节理解题。根据第二段中The way Dong singers use their vocal cords （声带） is different from how formally trained singers do.It is a folk chorus with multi-parts，no conductor，and no accompaniment.Organically growing from their natural surroundings，it is recognized internationally as "the sound of Nature."（侗族歌手使用声带的方式，与受过正规训练的歌手不同。这是一个民间合唱团，由多个部分组成，没有指挥，没有伴奏。从自然环境中有机生长，它被国际公认为"自然之声"）可知，侗族大歌是从自然环境中所得到的灵感，所以被称为自然之声。故选D。
（2）细节理解题。根据第三段第一句Before the Dong people had a writing system in 1958，the Dong culture，their history and stories were all recorded by means of songs.（在1958年侗族有文字系统之前，侗族的文化、历史和故事都是通过歌曲来记录的。）可知，歌曲在侗族的文化中意义重大。故选C。
（3）推理判断题。根据最后一段中Decades later，the Dong children out of the village might know nothing about Grand songs.We should do something just now.It's our mission.What is once lost might be lost forever，" added Guanmei.（几十年后，村外的侗族孩子可能对大曲一无所知。我们现在应该做点什么。这是我们的使命。一旦失去，就可能永远失去。"）可推知，对侗族大歌的未来，关梅是担忧的，Concerned"担心的"。故选A。
（4）主旨大意题。根据第一段Guanmei，a 65-year-old woman of the Dong ethnic group，is the inheritor of the Grand Song of Dong （侗族大歌），a national intangible cultural heritage in China.（关梅，65岁的侗族妇女，是中国国家级非物质文化遗产侗族大歌的传承人。）第四段中Guanmei has been singing the Grand Song of Dong all her life，making her a famous singing teacher in her hometown and nearby areas. （关梅一生都在唱侗族大歌，在家乡和附近地区都是著名的歌唱教师。）和第五段 Kind-hearted，Guanmei has been volunteering to teach the Grand Song of Dong to the Dong children for over 30 years.（善良的关梅，30多年来一直志愿为侗族儿童教授侗族大歌。）可知，本文主要是介绍了为了侗族大歌能够得到传承，一位普通女人所做的努力，To show a woman's efforts to keep the Dong culture alive（展示一个女人为保持侗族文化的生命力所做的努力）与题意相符。故选C。
