共用题干Pop Music in AfricaYoung musicians in African countries are creating a new kind of pop music. The tunes and the rhythms of their music combine African traditions with various forms of music popular today,such as hip-hop,rap,rock,jazz,or reggae. The result is music that may sound familiar to listeners anywhere in the world,but at the same time is distinctly African. It is different also in another way:Many of the songs are very serious and they deal with important social or political issues in Africa today.Eric Wainaina is one of these African musicians.He grew up in Nairobi,Kenya,in a family of musicians.As a teenager,he listened to pop music from the United States,and later he moved to Boston to study at the Berklee College of Music. Now he has produced a CD in Kenya. Eric's most popular song,“Land of‘A Little Something’”is about Kenya's problem of bribery,or paying others for illegal favors.He wants people to listen to his songs and think about how to make Kenya a better place to live.Another musician who writes serious songs is Witness Mwaijaga from Tanzania. Her own experiences have helped her understand the suffering of many African women. At the age of fifteen she lost her home,but she was luckier than other homeless young people. She could make a living by writing songs and singing on the street. By the time she was eighteen years old,She had become a star. Her songs are written in rap or hip-hop style about the problems that she sees in Tanzania,especially AIDS and the lack of rights for women.Baaba Maal,from Senegal,also feels that pop music must go beyond entertainment. He says that in Senegal,storytellers have alwaysbeen important people. In the past,they were the ones who kept the history of their people alive. Baaba believes that songwriters now have a similar responsibility. They must write about the world around them and help people understand how it could be better. The words of his songs are important,in fact.They speak of peace and cooperation among Africans,as well as the rights of women,love for one's family, and saving the environment.One of South Africa's most popular musicians is Brenda Fassie. She is sometimes compared to Madonna,the American pop star,because she likes to shock people in her shows. But she also likes to make people think. She became famous in the 1980s for her simple pop songs against apartheid. Now that apartheid has ended,her songs are about other issues in South African culture and life. To sing about these,she uses local African languages and a new pop style called kwaito.In recent years,people outside of Africa have also begun to listen to these young musici-ans. Through music,the younger generation of Africans are connecting with the rest of the world and,at the same time,influencing the rest of the world.This passage is about how African pop music is______. A:.usually about love and romanceB: more serious than most pop musicC: popular with young people in AfricaD: mostly written just for entertainment
共用题干第二篇Going Her Own WayWhen she was twelve,Maria made her first important decision about the course of her life.She decided that she wanted to continue her education.Most girls from middle-class families chose to stay at home afterprimary school,though some attended private Catholic"finishing"schools.There they learned a little about music,art,needlework,and how to make polite conversation. This was not the sort of education that interested Maria-or her mother. By this time,she had begun to take her studies more seriously.She read constantly and brought her books everywhere.One time she even brought her math book to the theater and tried to study in the dark.Maria knew that she wanted to go on learning in a serious way.That meant attending the public high school,something that very few girls did.In Italy at the time,there were two types of high schools:the"classical"schools and the"technical"schools. In the classical schools,the students followed a very tradi- tional program of studies,with courses in Latin and Greek language and literature,and Italian literature and history. The few girls who continued studying after primary school usually chose these schools.Maria,however,wanted to attend a technical school.The technical schools were more modern than the classical schools and they offered courses in modern languages,mathematics,science,and accounting. Most people一including Maria's father一believed that girls would never be able to understand these subjects. Furthermore,they did not think it was proper for girls to study them.Maria did not care if it was proper or not.Math and science were the subjects that interested her most. But before she could sign up for the technical school,she had to win her father's approval. She finally did, with her mother's help,though for many years after,there was tension in the family. Maria's father continued to oppose her plans,while her mother helped her.In 1883,at age thirteen,Maria entered the"Regia Scuola Tecnica Michelangelo Buonarroti"in Rome. Her experience at this school is difficult for us to imagine.Though the courses included modern subjects,theteaching methods were very traditional. Learning consisted of memorizing long lists of facts and repeating them back to the teacher. Students were not supposed to ask questions or think for themselves in any way. Teachers were very demanding;discipline in the classroom was strict;punishment was severe for those who failed to achieve or were disobedient.In those days,most Italian girls__________.A:went to classical schoolsB:didn't go to high. schoolC:went to"finishing"schoolsD:went to technical schools

问答题For Einstein to become a modern icon, especially in America, required a total revision of the definition of a hero. Anti-intellectualism has been as integral a part of American culture as the drive for universal education, and the fact that both have existed concurrently may account for the low status of teachers. In America it is not enough to be smart; one must compensate for one's intelligence by also showing the canniness and real-world power of the cowboy and the pioneer. Einstein did this. He was the first modern intellectual superstar, and he won his stardom in the only way that Americans could accept—by dint of intuitive, not scholarly, intelligence and by having his thought applied to practical things, such as rockets and atom bombs.
