Rock music consists of many different styles.Even though there is a common spirit among all music groups,they make very different music. 1 At that time the Beatles entered the world of music from Liverpool.
After they were given an invitation to appear live on BBC,the Beatles quickly became famous in Britain with nationwide tours.By mid-1963,the Beatles had been extremely popular in England. 2 They held large concerts and performed at clubs.They became the hottest thing on the pop music scene in England.They began as a modestly successful musician group and ended the year as show business legends(传说).John Lennon and Paul McCartney were named composers of the year.
3 They were not sure how the Americans would react to the new type of music.Beatlemania hit New York on February 7,1964.Hundreds of fans jammed the airport to greet them. 4 The concert was broadcast live and attracted the largest one night audience in the history of television up to that time.The Beatles were described as a British invasion(入侵) by local and nationwide newspapers at that time.Their victory in America was still remembered as a major turning point in the history of rock and roll.Thanks to the Beatles,a lot of opportunities were opened up to new faces on the market. 5

三、完形填空
1.B while在此处含有让步之意,意为“虽然”。虽然“我”天生不是一个不讲道理的或有偏见的人。
2.C 由下文第6空前提到的experience判断。此处experience意为“经历”,为可数名词。
3.A persuade sb that意为“说服某人……”。以下的经历使“我”不得不对摇滚乐产生反感情绪。treat“对待”;punish“惩罚”;encourage“鼓励”,均与语境不符。
4.D 指出摇滚音乐的潜在危险对“我们”这些有常识的人来说是一种责任。由下文可知本文重在讲述摇滚乐的消极方面。
5.D “指出”应用point out。此处说明要指出摇滚音乐的危害。let...out“发出……”;pick up“捡起;接某人”;find out“找到,发现”,均与语境不符。
6.B 儿子听摇滚乐时“我”和他说话,他的反应使“我”对其有一定的了解。realization“了解;领会;认知”;satisfaction“满意”;excitement“兴奋”;disappointment“失望”。
7.A unnaturally意为“不自然地;奇怪地”,表示没必要这么大声音,修饰loud。
8.A 戴着耳机听摇滚乐,在回答别人的问话时,就好像他的“听力”有些问题,回答时的声音特别大。
9.C 根据第二段第一句“I went to that concert”可知C项正确。
10.B 此处意为“在去听那场音乐会之前……”,until此处跟before同义。其他几项表示听音乐会之后或听音乐会时,均不合语境。
11.A attitude意为“态度”。直到去听那场音乐会之前,“我”一直对摇滚乐持宽容的态度——摇滚乐仅仅是不适合“我”的口味爱好,但是其他喜爱摇滚乐的人有权利喜欢。
12.C have right to do“有权利做……”。right此处用作名词,意为“权利”。
13.C allow...to do“同意/允许某人干……”,在此表示“放任自流”。invite“邀请”;lead“带领”;prevent“阻止”。
14.D 摇滚乐声音很大,作者认为达到了“噪音”的程度。另外第16空后也有提示。noise level意为“噪音级”。
15.D “更加危险的是……”。因为整篇文章都是论述摇滚乐的负面影响,故D项符合文意。
16.A carry sb/sth away“使失去自我控制力;使失去理智”,是固定搭配。
17.B “我”处在“一群”看不清面目的人的中间,而不是一个队(team)或一个组(group)中间。
18.C 作者描述了受到摇滚音乐影响的观众的形象——一群人又拍手,又跺脚,又蹦又跳,在旁观者看来,活像一群“猴子”。其他选项相对于作者当时对摇滚乐的厌恶,均不合适。
19.D present意为“现今的;现在的”。present younger generation“现在的年轻一代”。
20.B 这一句话是作者的感想,他认为如果我们把摇滚乐“废除掉”,让它消失,现在的年轻一辈将来会感激我们的。put a stop“终止”。
