题目解析:
【题目翻译】关于纳瓦霍仪式圣歌,从第1段可以推断出什么?
A:它们有很多。
B:每个都对应于一幅特定的沙画。
C:它们很难记住。
D:表演时间不长。
【判定题型】:根据题干中出现的关键词“imply”/“infer”/“suggest”等其他表示推断的词,判定本题为推理题。
【关键词定位】:根据关键词“the Navajo ritual chants”,定位到 Passage 1,原句为“The paintings and chants used in the ceremonies are directed by well-trained artists and singers who enlist the aid of spirits who are impersonated by masked performers.”;The twenty-four known Navajo chants can be represented by up to 500 sand paintings.
【逻辑分析】纳瓦霍圣歌可由多达500幅的沙画来表现,可知其复杂性。
【选项分析】
A.根据原文“ The twenty-four known Navajo chants can be represented by up to 500 sand paintings.”可看出,一共只有24首纳瓦霍人圣歌,数量并不是很多,所以 A 选项错误。
B.原文说这24首圣歌可以被多达500幅沙画所描绘表现出来,但是并没有说每首圣歌都分别对应一幅沙画,因此 B 选项错误。
C.然后定位到原文“These complex paintings serve as memory aids to guide the singers during the performance of the ritual songs, which can last up to nine days. ”证明 C 选项正确。
D.第一段最后一句话说“which can last up to nine days.”可看出整个表演时间会长达九天,而 D 选项说表演时间并不长,因此 D 选项错误。
