Ⅴ.阅读理解
Rock and roll has its origin in three different traditions of music.Perhaps the largest influence on rock came from the rhythm and blues (R & B) music popular in the southwestern United States during the 1930s and 1940s.Both the rhythm and singing style of R & B artists can be found in modern rock music.
Rock and roll first became popular in 1954，and the first true superstar of rock and roll was，of course，Elvis Presley.With his handsome looks and his controversial dancing style，he captured the imagination and hearts of young people around the world.Although no figures have ever been published，he was surely the most successful solo artist in history.Over his career from 1956 to 1977，he had in all sold more than 170 major hit singles and more than 80 topselling albums.According to the billboard charts (排行榜)，he remains the most successful male soloist with nine No.1 singles.
In the early 1960s，rock and roll suffered a brief decline (下降) in popularity for two reasons.First，Elvis Presley served in the army and did not record for a while，and second，record companies began to try and make rock music more suitable for all music lovers.Then，in 1962，the Beatles brought rock and roll back to life again and made it louder and more defiant (藐视的) than before.
After the Beatles broke up in 1970，another decline began as rock and roll broke into three popular styles—country rock，folk (which was quieter with more acoustic guitar)，and heavy metal.In the mid－1970s，disco began
to sweep the music industry.Seemingly in reaction to this disco movement，punk rock (朋克摇滚) began in England.Actually，economic and racial problems in England at that time gave rise to punk rock，and the music used loud backing music and violent lyrics.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s，musicians toned down the anger in punk music and developed new wave music.Record labels found this new music highly marketable，and bands such as Blondie and The Clash suddenly came into popularity.New creative ideas in music continue to change rock and roll.
1．What’s the passage mainly about?
A．The origin and development of rock ‘n’ roll.
B．The popularity about rock ‘n’ roll.
C．Three popular styles of rock ‘n’ roll.
D．The rise of punk rock.
2．Why was Elvis Presley so successful according to the passage?
A．He had sold many major hit singles and topselling albums.
B．He danced beautifully.
C．He had a charming look.
D．He was very handsome and danced in a controversial way，which was loved by the young.
3．Since rock ‘n’ roll first became popular in 1954，how many declines has it suffered?
A．One. B．Two.
C．Three. D．Four.
4．When did punk rock become popular in England?
A．1940s. B．1950s.
C．1960s. D．1970s.
This is why...这就是……的原因
(1)This is why he was late this morning.
这就是今天早晨他迟到的原因。
(2)This is why she wanted to borrow money from me.
这就是她想向我借钱的原因。

Ⅳ.1.B [本题考查名词的用法和让步状语从句省略的用法。success指成功的人或事时，是可数名词。句意为：周周是成功的，尽管他是个残疾的孩子。as引导的让步状语从句倒装时，若表语是名词，前置时要省略冠词，故选B项。]
2．A [句意为：汤姆正要关上窗户，就在这时一只鸟引起了他的注意。在句式“...be about to do...when...”中，when作并列连词，相当于and at that time，句中was about to do为标志词，故答案为A项。]
3．A [make an appearance表示“露面”，意为他装扮成超人出场，令人惊异。故选A项。]
4．A [句意为：暂用这个房间吧，一有可能，我们就会马上给你提供一个大点的房子。本题考查连词。as soon as一……就……，引导时间状语从句。unless除非；as far as远到，至于；until直到。]
5．D [句意为：我们总是在不断寻找新的天才。此处指天才人物用talent。A项意为“天赋，天资，天才”；B项作“人才”讲是集合名词，不加s；C项作“人才”讲是可数名词，要用复数形式。]
6．C [句意为：工程师们如此忙碌，以致于没时间做户外活动，即使他们对做户外活动很感兴趣。本题考查连词。even if即使，引导让步状语从句。wherever无论什么地方；whenever无论什么时候；as if好像。]
7．B [考查动词的词义辨析。因为有表示时间段的时间状语until the end of this month，故应用延续性动词continue或last。而keep和stay“保持……状态”，多用作系动词。]
