Rock and roll began in the 1950s in the USA. Rock and roll was based on African American styles of music -jazz, blues, rhythm and blues, and gospel and mixed with the sound of country. Elvis Presley was one of the first big stars of rock and roll. He was considered the King of rock and roll. Famous rock and roll stars and groups include Bill Haley and his group, the Comets, Girl groups, the Ronettes (whose biggest hit was Be My Baby), the Crystals (whose biggest hit was Da Doo Ron Ron ), and the ShangriLas ( whose biggest hit was Leader of the Pack ) etc.At the same time, in England, a group that became known as the Beatles was forming. Another British group formed at about the same time was the Rolling Stones. Their best-known members are Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. A record company called Motown ( eventually the name of the African American style, too), located in Detroit, Michigan, began producing hit records by African American groups and solo artists. Some of their most famous artists were Stevie Wonder,The Temptations, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Gladys Knight and the Pips, and the JacksonFive. Michael Jackson, the youngest of the Jackson Five, went on to become a world-famous solo artist.

you've probably read the books.You've probably seen the movies.But have you heard the music?The latest Harry Potter news is that bands have been forming to play what is called "wizard rock" or sometimes just "wrock."The new kind of music began when Joe DeGeorge and his brother Paul decided that the characters from Harry Potter would make a great band.Ron on guitar，Hermione on bass，Hagrid on drums and Harry singing up front would make for an excellent group.In one day，the brothers wrote，practised and performed six songs about life at Hogwarts.After the first performance，Paul decided that "we're Harry and the Potters."Wizard rock is pretty much what it sounds like：rock 'n' roll inspired by and set in the world of Harry Potter.The DeGeorges started a trend.Today，there are dozens of wizard-rock bands：the Whomping Willows，the Remus Lupins and the Moaning Myrtles to name a few.Rockers dress like Hogwarts students and play at conventions and festivals.People who like Harry Potter think wizard rock music is totally awesome.The songs can be funny，but the music is not a joke.It's serious.Just ask the DeGeorge brothers.They've played more than 500 shows in 49 states.They dress in Hogwarts house colors，and their hit songs are inspired by characters from the books："Save Ginny Weasley" and "Voldemort Can't Stop the Rock!" The themes of their music are the same as the themes of Rowling's books：love and friendship，upset and struggle.Wizard rock is just one more spin-off in the Harry Potter craze.Two years after J.K.Rowling published her last book in the series，Potter popularity continues to grow.There are Potter conventions and Potter clubs that try to get kids and grown-ups to help fight hunger，for example.And the fact that they may do it while humming "Wizard Chess" or "Platform. 9" makes those meetings fun.1、Which of the following is a band’s name?A、HermioneB、The Whomping WillowsC、Harry PotterD、Save Ginny Weasley2、Which of the following is wizard rock’s characteristic?A、A funny and jokingB、joking and seriousC、funny and seriousD、serious and dull3、Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A、The DeGeorge has been popular in the USA.B、People think highly of wizard rock.C、The wizard rock's themes are related to struggle.D、Wizard rock is only popular among teenagers.4、From the last paragraph，we can learn that().A、Harry Potter has had great effect on American's musicB、Wizard rock has created another hit about Harry PotterC、Harry Potter continues to be liked by its fansD、J.K.Rowling will continue to write something about Harry Potter

共用题干Narrow EscapeWe had left the hut too late that morning. When we stepped outside,the sky beyond the mountains to our east was already livid with colour. It meant the day would be a hot one,and the warmth would loosen rocks that were gripped by ice.As soon as we stepped out on to the face,it became obvious this was going to be an awkward route. The main problem was talus,the debris that collects on mountainsides. Talus is despised by mountaineers for two reasons. First,because it can easily be pushed off on to you by people climbing above. And second,because it makes every step you take insecure.For about 30 minutes we moved steadily up the face. The rock was in poor condition, shattered horizontally and mazed with cracks. When I tried to haul myself up on a block of it,it would pull out towards me,like a drawer opening. My hands became progressively wetter and colder. Then came a shout.“Cailloux!Cailloux!”I heard yelled from above,in a female voice. The words echoed down towards us. I looked up to see where they had come from.There were just two rocks at first,leaping and bounding down the face towards us,once cannoning off each other in mid-air. And then the air above suddenly seemed alive with falling rocks,humming through the air and filling it with noise. Crack,went each one as it leapt off the rock face,then hum-hum-hum as it moved through the air,then crack again. The pause between the cracks lengthened each time,as the rocks gained momentum and jumped further and further. I continued to gaze up at the rocks as they fell and skipped towards me. A boy who had been a few years above me at school had taught me never to look up during a rock fall.“Why?Because a rock in your face is far less pleasant than a rock on your helmet,”he told us.“Face in,always face in.”I heard Toby,my partner on the mountain that day,shouting at me. I looked across. He was safe beneath an overhanging canopy of rock. I could not understand him. Then I felt a thump,and was tugged backwards and round,as though somebody had clamped a heavy hand on my shoulder and turned me to face them. A rock had hit the lid of my rucksack.I looked up again. A rock was heading down straight towards me. Instinctively,I leant backwards and arched my back out from the rock to try to protect my chest. What about my fingers,though,I thought:they'll be crushed flat if it hits them,and I'll never get down. Then I heard a crack directly in front of me,and a tug at my trousers,and a yell from Toby. “Are you all right?That went straight through you.”The rock had pitched in front of me, and passed through the hoop of my body,between my legs,missing me but snatching at my clothing as it went.Toby and I had spent the evening talking through the events of the morning:What if the big final stone hadn't leapt sideways,what if I'd been knocked off,would you have held me, would I have pulled you off?A more experienced mountaineer would probably have thought nothing of it.I knew I would not forget it.What is likely to be the meaning of“Cailloux”?A: Rocks are flying through the air.B: Rocks are falling.C: There are loose rocks on the ground ahead.D: There are rocks everywhere.
