Answer 1

答案：1C2A3A
解析：

1．C 这是一道细节题。文中说：Bono is the most powerful man in music and not just because of his singing，说明除了他的singing之外，还有其他东西使他成为the most powerful man in music，而这句话是一个poll of top music business people说的。 　　2．A Third World Debt是政治问题，译为“第三世界债务”，而第三世界指贫穷或发展中国家，而非all the countries，“债务”，即“欠的钱”。 　　3．A 由右边的一列可以仔细看出来，他的真名是Paul Hewson，经常与一些政客会面谈论政治问题，但他本身并不是政客，关于C项文中没有提到。
