问题     There has been a boom in "karaoke" in Japan. Many people, no matter what their age or gender, go there often to enjoy singing out loud, to seek relief from daily stress or just for fun. The "kara" of kara-oke means "empty", while the "oke" is a Japanese abbreviation of the English word, "orchestra. " These two words coming together mean an orchestra without a singer. Karaoke systems are widespread in many countries nowadays.  "Karaoke bars" are well known by Americans, but actually we have few karaoke bars in Japan. What we call "karaoke box" is more popular in Japan.
    To relish karaoke is not difficult at all. All you have to do is to find some friends to go with you. After you have settled into the room and gotten something to eat or drink, you are already to sing. You look up one of the songbooks and choose a song you wish to sing in two different ways: either by the singer’s name or title of the song. Then enter the code numbers of the song into the remote control. Soon your music will start.  Some karaoke sets even have a voice change system. You can change your voice from a woman’s to a man’s, or a man’s to a woman’s. This is very interesting. But the important thing here is you should listen to other people singing at the same time. Usually people like to have audiences, and you want them to listen to you while you are singing, too. You can feel like a real singer if you have someone to listen to you, and that’s what people like when doing karaoke.
    Since you will have your own room and there will be no unfamiliar people watching you, you will feel more comfortable singing in a karaoke box than singing in front of many people, like in karaoke bars. You can spend the time in a more relaxed atmosphere, which is more enjoyable.
    Once you have experienced karaoke, you might want to go again and again, though some people would not like singing in front of people even if they were friends or family. But you can still have a lot of fun there, even if you don’t sing. We make jokes and we talk as if we were at home. I personally like karaoke very much. I like singing and I have so much fun every time I go. I think we are seeking a way to express ourselves to people whom we like.
In Japanese, the word "Karaoke" come from "kara" and "oke. " What do these words mean?
选项 A、Sing and together.
B、Sing and have fun.
C、Orchestra and singer.
D、Empty and orchestr
答案D
解析 第一段。Karaoke的前半截“Kara”意为“空”，后半截“oke”是英文“管弦乐队”的日语缩写。选项D是正确的。
