问题  
W: Charles, as a singer, do you ever make yourself cry when you sing?
M: No, not at this stage. I’m an old man. But the songs can still get through to me.
W: What song writers are currently exciting you?
M: I don’t know much about song writers. Once in a while, I’ll listen to the radio to see what they are putting out. But it’s not too often I hear something I like. Somebody like Art Tatum can make me sit up and take notice. But some music, like Rap, isn’t very musical, and I can’t learn anything from it. You got to do something more than talk to me.
W: What’s the most difficult kind of music to sing?
M: It depends. If I like something, I can sing it. I did the opera Porgy and Bess, and that’s said to be a complicated piece of music. And I can do country music, blues and love songs. On the other hand, I can’t sing something i don’t like and that’s one of my defects.
W: Can you perform music that’s out of tune with the mood you might be in on a given night?
M: Yes, because when you sing, you are like an actor performing a part. Once you get out there you become that part, only you are using music instead of dialogue. I’m the kind of person that if my personal life is hurting, I can go to work and the music will take over. It’s like a guy who goes to a bar and drinks. For those few hours, I can wrap myself up in my music.

答案 C

解析 对话中,当女士问男士觉得哪种类型的音乐最难演唱时,男士说:“如果我喜欢,我就可以唱。我曾经唱过歌剧《波吉与贝丝》,那可谓是一部复杂的音乐作品。我还可以唱乡村音乐、布鲁斯和情歌。另一方面,我唱不了不喜欢的音乐。”由此可知,选项C为正确答案。其他三项都可排除。
