问题     Throughout the years, music has been a common thread that unites generations and had provided social commentary, individual expression, and a soundtrack for life. Music has evolved and changed as time has moved forward, and become, in some cases more of an art, and in other cases, less than one.
    Today music has nearly universal appeal—though there are more styles and types of music than ever before, there are also wider gaps in ever between groups who listen to certain types of music. This said, however there are still millions of Americans who consider themselves to have "global musical tastes" meaning that they listen to numerous genres of music on a regular basis instead of focusing their time and attention on only rap, country, or rock and roll.
    In Utah, as in most other parts of the country, there are many people who listen to a broad range of music: from Oldies to Emo and from Blues to Hip Hop. These varying tastes in music are reflected by the concerts in Utah during any given year.
    Utah’s concerts range from the biggest names in Hip Hop and Country music to Rock and Roll acts that you might have thought had been dissolved in the 80’s. There seems to be just as much excitement for a Cyndi Lauper or Pretenders reunion tour as for a tour from Snoop Dogg or The Foo Fighters. The sheer dynamism of Utah concert goers—in age and musical taste makes Utah a "must stop" for most any musical act.
    Utah’s concert scene consists of many small venues such as bars and private clubs that host touring acts year round, as well as a few large venues, both indoor and outdoor that host only the larger acts and are only open during certain times of the year—as dictated by sports team schedules and weather.
    The varying degrees of concert venues in Utah makes for an additional plus for great musical acts to stop in Utah. There are obviously some acts, while very well received in bars and small venues, that just would not be able to fill a 20,000 seat amphitheater. Thus, the various small venues are perfect for lesser known or up-and-coming rock and country acts that are not quite able to fill the bigger venues.
    All things considered, Utah has a lot going for it in terms of creating a solid environment for musical acts as well as fans of music from a myriad of genres. As the state continues to grow and become a more mainstream culture, concerts in Utah will continue to be growing attractions.
It can be inferred from Paragraph 6 that ________.
选项 A、various musical acts are attracted to Utah
B、small venues in Utah are perfectly equipped
C、great musical acts have to give up Utah
D、large venues in Utah are difficult to fill up
答案A
解析 根据题干可直接定位至第六段。该段第一句中的stop不是“停止”的意思，而是“停留”“留下来”的意思。stop一词在第四段最后一句中也有提及(must stop)，第六段指出犹他州有许多大小不同的演出场地。适合不同类型的演唱会，结合上下文内容可知，这使得犹他州吸引不同类型的歌手前来表演，由此可见，A项“犹他州吸引不同类型的表演”是正确的。B项“小型演出场出设施完善”属于无中生有，原文并没有提及小型场地的设施问题；如果没有正确理解stop的意思，很容易误选C项“许多大型演唱会放弃犹他州”；第六段提及小型的音乐活动难以填满大的演出场地，D项只选取了此内容的后半截，把前提(小型音乐活动)省掉了，属于断章取义，不能选。
