roll star.There are two ways to go about getting one.First there is the traditional way.Find some friends and form a group.Learn to play the guitar or the drums.Write your own songs.Spend hours arguing about the band name.Then go on the road.The next step is to spend a year or two touring.If you are any good,the crowds will get bigger.In the end an artist from a record company may come to a show.If he or she likes you,there may be a deal.This is the route traditionally followed by bands in the music industry.Success means fame and wealth.And failure gives you some interesting stories to tell your children.Over the last few years a different path to success has become known.Boy bands like Boyzone and girl bands like the Spice Girls dont come together on their own.They are created by managers and record companies.Their image is strictly controlled.Professional song writers usually write their music.This is a convenient arrangement and the public seems to love the result.Though boy and girl bands have become very popular recently,there is a long tradition of making music in this way.In the early 1960s an American businessman called Berry Gordy founded Motown Records.Motown is short for“motor town”.The record company was based in the city of Detroit,where thousands of AfricanAmericans had moved to work in the car industry.They brought with them a cultural tradition of writing and performing music.This style later became known as“soulmusic”.Berry Gordy was a diamond miner.He took raw talent from the street and polished it until it shone.Motown stars were not just given songs to sing.They were also taught how to dress well and speak properly.1In the first paragraph the writer seems to tell us _.A.to form a band is very hard B.the name of the band is very important C.newlybuilt bands can only perform by road D.to form a band is very simple-4-答案与解析：D推理判断题。依据第一、二段中“First.”“The next step.”可看出组成一个乐队非常简单。2If a newborn band wants to succeed,as the writer tells,it must have the chance _.A.to travel in big cities B.to perform before an artist C.to make an agreement with a record company D.to experience failure again and again 答案与解析：C细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the end an artist from a record company may come to a show.If he or she likes you,there may be a deal.”可知 C 项正确。3From the fourth paragraph,we can conclude that _.A.Motown was only enjoyed by the workers in Detroit B.Motown showed the style of the black Americans C.Detroit used to be famous for its music industry D.Detroit was found by AfricanAmericans 答案与解析：B细节理解题。根据该段中“.where thousands of AfricanAmericans had moved to work in the car industry.”可知 B 项正确。4From the passage,we can learn that Motown stars _.A.used to be miners B.used to dress poorly C.became perfect little by little D.came from Berry Gordys hometown 答案与解析：C推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He took raw talent from the street and polished it until it shone.”可知 C 项是最佳选项。B B TheThe BluesBlues The blues was born on the Mississippi River Delta in the early 1900s.After the Civil War,the slaves were free but life was still not easy.They had to find new work.In the South,work camps were formed.Black people from these camps worked on-5-farms and on building up the Mississippi River banks.During the week,the people worked long and hard.They often lived alone,without their families,far from home.On the weekend,the workers got together at picnics or drinking places.Travelling black musicians with guitars entertained them.The musicians sang songs about the difficult life of the workers.These songs were called the blues.If you have the blues,it means you feel very sad.But blues songs were not always sad.Some of them were happy and many of them were funny.Early blues singers often had very interesting names like Blind Lemon,Jefferson and Howlin Wolf.Sometimes,the blues singers had song contests.Each singer sang new words or a new style of the blues song.They made up the music as they played.In this way they created new music.That is called improvisation(即兴表演).Later,improvisation became a very important part of jazz music.Blues began in the country in the South.As black people moved into the big cities to work,the blues went with them.There,they sang about life in the cities.W.C.Handy,a black band leader from Memphis made the blues popular all over America.In 1914 he wrote the most famous blues song of allThe St.Louis Blues.5This passage is mainly concerned with _.A.the birth of American country music B.the birth of jazz music C.the birth of American popular music D.the birth of the blues 答案与解析：D主旨大意题。本文谈的是美国布鲁斯音乐的由来。A、C 两项所指范围太广，而 B 项并不是本文谈论的中心。6Blues songs were often about _.A.the hard life of black people B.the happy life of black people C.the happy and funny life of black people D.the hard life of slaves 答案与解析：A细节理解题。文章第一段最后两句叙述黑人音乐者们歌唱他们劳动者艰难的生活。A 项符合文意。7In the early 1900s,black people often got together at some drinking places on the weekend mainly because _.A.they had found new work B.they were good friends-6-C.they often lived alone,without their families D.they were good at singing and dancing 答案与解析：C细节理解题。根据文章第一段可知选 C。8According to the passage,which of the following statements is TRUE?A.After the Civil War,most black people found jobs in factories.B.No blues songs were about life in the cities.C.The blues was popular only in the country.D.The blues was born in the country in the South.答案与解析：D细节理解题。由文章第一段和最后一段第一句可知布鲁斯音乐产生于美国中南部的密西西比河三角洲的城市。因此 D 项符合句意。.语法填空 Will _1_ matter if you dont take your breakfast?Some time ago a test _2_(give)in the United States.Those tests included people of different _3_(age)from 12 to 83.During the experiment,these people were given all kinds of breakfasts,and sometimes they got _4_ breakfast at all.Special tests were set up to see _5_ well their bodies worked when they had eaten _6_ certain kind of breakfast.The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast,he or she will work with better effect _7_ if he or she has no breakfast.This fact appears to be _8_(especial)true if a person works _9_ his brain.For example,if a student eats fruit,eggs,bread and milk before going to school,he will learn more quickly and listen with _10_(much)attention in class.答案与解析：1it考查固定句式。it matters if.如果是否有关系？2was given考查被动语态。此句中 a test 为主语，故用被动语态。3ages考查名词的单复数。那些测试包含不同年龄段的人。4no考查句意的理解。有时候不给他们早饭吃。5how考查宾语从句。对他们进行特别的测试来观察他们的身体状况。6a考查冠词的用法。a certain kind of breakfast 某种早餐。7than考查比较级结构。吃过早餐对工作效率有好的影响。8especially考查副词的用法。用 especially 修饰 true.9with考查介词。with 使用。10more考查比较级。根据前文 more quickly 可推知此处应该用 much 的比较级。
