Even if the word ‘pop’ disappears from the English vocabulary, the influence of pop will remain. Pop has become part of British and American history. There has always been a close cultural link, or tie, between Britain and English-speaking America, not only in literature but also in popular arts, especially music. Before the Second World War the Americans exported jazz and the blues. During the 1950s they exported rock ’n’ roll, and star singers like Elvis Presley were admired by young British and Americans alike. Then in the early 1960s a new sound was heard, very different from anything which had so far come from the American side of the Atlantic. This was the Liverpool, or Merseyside, ‘beat’. The new pop culture, in a few years, swept across Britain and America, and across most of the countries of the western world. The people responsible for the pop revolution were four Liverpool boys who joined together in a group and called themselves The Beatles. They played in small clubs in the back streets of the city. Unlike the famous solo stars, who had their songs written for them, the Beatles wrote their own words and music. They had a close personal relationship with their audience, and they expected them to join in and dance to the ‘beat’ of the music. Audience participation is an essential characteristic of pop culture. Some pop groups, in particular the Rolling Stones, did more than just entertain. They wrote words which were deliberately intended to shock. They represented the anger and bitterness of youth struggling for freedom against authority. The Beatles, on the other hand, finally won the admiration of people. As they developed, their songs became more serious. They wrote not only of love, but of death and poverty and daily life. Largely thanks to the Beatles, pop music had grown into a big and profitable industry. The influence of British pop in America was great. American pop groups soon became as famous as British groups. Both the British and Americans are experimenting with new ideas, and pop is developing and changing, and mixing with modern folk music.1.When did the British start to export their pop music?A、 In 1940sB、 In 1950sC、 In 1960sD、 In 1970s2.Which statement is true?A、 The pop music comes from American.B、 The word “pop” would be out of date someday.C、 The spirit of pop shift from America to Britain.D、 The spirit of pop music would not disappear.3.What is the difference between the Beatles and the famous solo stars?A、 The Beatles has four group members.B、 The famous solo stars didn’t write songs themselves.C、 The Beatles welcomed the audience’s participation.D、 All of the above.4.The Rolling Stone wrote songs not only to entertain, but also _______________.A、 make people feel relaxB、 show their love to the worldC、 release their anger and dissatisfactionD、 fight for the authority5.In the author’s eyes, which one is more important, English pop and American pop?A、 None of themB、 English popC、 American popD、 Both of them

共用题干第二篇The National Trust in Britain plays an increasingly important part in the preservation for public enjoyment of the best that is left unspoiled of the British countryside.Although the Trust has received practical and moral support from the Government,it is not rich Government department.It is a charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support from members of the public.The attention of the public was first drawn to the dangers threatening the great old houses and castles of Britain by the death of Lord Lothian,who left his great seventeenth-century house to the Trust together with the 4,500-acre park and estate surrounding it. This gift attracted wide publicity and started the Trust's"Country House Scheme".Under this scheme,with the help of the Government and the general public,the Trust has been able to save and open to the public about one hundred and fifty of these old houses.Last year about one and three quarters of a million people paid to visit these historic houses,usually at a very small charge.In addition to country houses and open spaces,the Trust now owns some examples of ancient wind and water mills,nature reserves,five hundred and forty farms and nearly two thousand five hundred cottages or small village houses,as well as some complete villages.In these villages no one is allowed to build,develop or disturb the old village environment in any way and all the houses are maintained in their original sixteenth-century style.Over four hundred thousand acres of coastline, woodland,and hill country are protected by the Trust and no development or disturbance of any kind are permitted.The public has free access to these areas and is only asked to respect the peace, beauty and wildlife.So it is that over the past eighty years the Trust has become a big important organization and an essential and respected part of national life,preserving all that is of great natural beauty and of historical significance not only for future generations of Britons but also for the millions of tourists who each year invade Britain in search of a great historical and cultural heritage.The word "invade" in the last paragraph is used to emphasize that________.A:the British do not like touristsB:tourists to Britain are friendlyC:tourists come to Britain in large numbersD:Britain is attacked by masses of tourists

共用题干第二篇Dancing in the StreetsIf there is one thing certain to get Brazilians on their feet,it is the Rio Carnival（狂欢节）.Held in Rio de Janeiro,the country's biggest city,the carnival began on February 20 when the mayor gave key of the city to Rei Momo一the Lord of Misrule（无序之皇）.On his orders,each year people turn the city into a paradise of dance and music.The following six days are so full of parades,street dancing,fantastic clothes and partying（聚会）that many people forget about eating and sleeping."It was the passion of the carnival that attracted me to Brazil and made me settle down in Rio,"said Bob Nadkarni,a British man who has lived in the city for several years.For many Brazilians , the centrepiece of the carnival is samba（桑巴舞）,a typical Brazilian dance.Every year,tens of thousands of visitors and locals show off their passion and energy in the streets,following the beat（节拍）of the Latin music.The climax to this street party is the float（彩车）parade , in which floats decorated with tons of fresh flowers by various samba schools and local communities move through the city.On the top of each float stands the candidate for the Drum Queen,who is chosen at the end of the party.While most people are free to enjoy the celebrations,Rio's police officers have to keep a clear head.Following the murder of three officers in a gunfight early last week,the Brazilian Government has tightened security in Rio.The street fighting,robbery and sex crimes that accompany the carnival are very difficult to police.Carnivals began in ancient Rome as a celebration at which people fed wild wolves,in honour of the city's founder who was said to have been raised by a she-wolf.Brazil gave new life to this tradition and so,despite the troubles,the carnival will remain a symbol of the country's culture.According to the passage,Bob Nadkami isA:a Brazilian who has come back from Britain.B:a British man who visits Rio for the carnival.C:a British man who has come to live in Brazil.D:a Brazilian who is attracted by the carnival.
