【正确答案】：

C

【本题分数】：

2.0分

【答案解析】

主旨题。

通读全文，A、B、D选项均体现文章的细节，只有C选项具有概括意义。

因此选择C。

第5题

DEitherSpanishorAmerican.

【正确答案】：

B

【本题分数】：

2.0分

【答案解析】

推理题。

问题是关于波多黎各城市特征的。

各段中都出现有如“amixtureofthenewandtheold”“amixtureofbothSpanishandAmericanrhythms（节奏）”等表融合意义的意群。

因此可推断B正确。

而C选项本身说法没有错，但是作为突出城市特点的答案意义不完整。

A、D为错误选项，可直接排除。
