阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

Music is an international language.The songs that are sung or played by instruments are beautiful to all people everywhere.
Popular mus ic in America is what every student likes.Students carry small radios with earphones and listen to music before class，after class and at lunch.Students with cars buy large speakers(扬声器)and play the music loudly as they drive on the street.
Adult drivers listen to music on the car radio as they drive to work.They also listen to the news about sports，the weather，politics，and activities of the American people.But most of the radio broadcast is music.
Pop or popular music singers make much money.They make a CD or tape which radio stations use in every state.Once the popular singer is heard throughout the country，young people buy his or her tapes.Some of the money from these tapes comes to the singer.Wherever the singer goes，all the young people want to meet him or her.Now the singer has become a national star.
Besides pop music，there are two other kinds of music that is important to Americans.One is called folk music.It tells stories about the common life of Americans.The other is called western or country music.This was started by cowboys who would sing at night to the cows they were watching.Today，any music about country life and the love between a country boy and his girl is called western or country music.
Serious music for the concert halls is called classical music.Music for instruments is called orchestra music，such as the symphonies(交响乐)of Beethoven.There is opera for singers，ballet for dancers like the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai in China.

This may be music to your ears.
Researchers P Jason Rentfrow and Samuel Gosling gave 3，500 people a personality quiz.Then they asked them to name their favourite kind of music.“We found that the musical styles people like are closely linked to their personalities，”Gosling says.
RAP/HIP－HOP
Known for their quick speech，some rappers can say more than 700 syllables (音节)a minute!
If you like rap/hip－hop，you are energetic(精力充沛的)and have a way with words.You_put_a_fresh_spin_on_things，whether it's new moves on the dance floor or your hip style.
CLASSICAL
In the 18th century，classical musicians were like rock stars.Beethoven and Mozart，for example，played to packed concert halls.
If you like classical，you are open to new ideas and like debating with friends.Creative and imaginative，you can easily spend many hours scrapbooking，writing or painting.
COUNTRY
Country music came from the folk songs of English，Scottish，and Irish settlers of the southeastern United States.
If you like country，you express your opinions well，which makes you the ideal class president or team captain.Traditional and loyal，you enjoy spending time with your family.
POP
Pop music is designed to appeal to(吸引)almost everyone，and it does.Each year，
the industry brings in about 30 billion dollars!
If you like pop，you are attractive to your friends.You can make big things happen，like planning for a huge party or inspiring your team to victory.
ROCK/ALTERNATIVE
In the 1950s，rock music created a brand－new culture.Teenagers，for the first time，had an identity(身份)separate from adults and children.
If you like rock/alternative，you are a risk－taker who never accepts no for an answer.You rise to any challenge，like doing very well in a big exam or in the school play.
If these personality profiles don't match you，that's OK.These are just for fun.
【语篇解读】文章告诉读者，你所欣赏的音乐类型恰恰反映了你的性格。

It seems sometimes that the world is full of people who are mad for instant，no－effort，success.Khalil Fong，the singer and musical genius from Hong Kong，is not one of them.Fong prefers to let things follow their own pace.
This quiet young man，who can surprise an interviewer with his dark humour，has sat and waited for the world to catch up with him.Now，the once unknown Mando(华
语)－pop singer is getting his dues.
“It's rare for me to think about the world's opinion when I write a song，”said Fong.The musician，who is often described as Hong Kong's answer to Jay Chou，typically wears smart dark suits and his signature pilot's glasses.“I focus on what I want to express and try to make it pleasing to my heart and ear.”
Recently Fong released Timeless，an album(专辑)of classic foreign and Chinese songs that have influenced him，such as Stevie Wonder's YouAretheSunshineofMyLife.
Born in Hawaii，Fong grew up listening to black soul classic.He says he'd like to do for that tradition what Jay Chou has done for R&B music.
This may be a challenge for Fong，since today soul is only popular among a minority(少数)of people.But he says he doesn't think people care much about his musical “bag”．“If they let their emotions speak，listeners will love my music.Nobody got Jay's R&B at first，but now almost everybody likes it，”he said.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇人物介绍。介绍了香港歌手方大同的一些信息及音乐风格。
9．What is one of the problems that Khalil Fong is facing now?
A．No one likes his music.
B．Mando－pop singers are unknown in the world.
C．He was born in Hawaii and can't speak Chinese.
D．Most of the listeners are not interested in soul music.
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句可知，方大同所面临的一个问题是只有少数人喜欢他的灵魂音乐，所以他不知道他的专辑是否受到人们的欢迎。D项与此相符。
答案：D
10．The reason why Fong likes soul music is that ________．
A．he was an American
B．he wishes to learn from Jay Chou
C．he listened to bl ack soul classics from his childhood
D．he wants to have this kind of music passed down
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，方大同是听着黑人灵魂音乐长大的。由此可知，方大同是因为从小受这种音乐的熏陶才喜欢它的。
答案：C
11．From the last sentence in the last paragraph，we know that Khalil Fong ________．
A．believes he will succeed like Jay Chou in the future
B．believes the bad can be changed into the good
C．thinks people accept new things step by step
D．likes Jay Chou's R&B very much
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段倒数第二句可知如果听众尽情释放自己的情感的话，他们会喜欢方大同的音乐的。再结合最后一句可知方大同相信自己将来会像周杰伦一样受到听众们的喜爱。
答案：A
D
When Beethoven was in his twenties，he began to go deaf.The deafness changed his behaviour(行为)．He became withdrawn(孤僻的)and tempered.His friends found him hard to be around. But he kept composing even when he lost all his hearing.The music he heard was in his head.
As 1809 drew to its close，Beethoven gave several main works.On the 22nd of December，he gave a concert which included the FifthSymphony(交响乐) and the EmperorConcerto(协奏曲)．In May 1809 Haydn died.There was no one to challenge Beethoven's right to be the musical king of Vienna.At the end of 1813，the SeventhSymphony was performed for the firsttime.Between 1819 and 1823 he composed the NinthSymphony and some more piano sonatas(鸣奏曲)．
Beethoven died when he was 57 years old.He had composed over a hundred pieces.His music spanned(跨越)two stages of music history.His early music was more formal.It followed certain steps and patterns(模式)．But his later music changed.The style is now called romantic music.This type of music is written to stir the listener s' feelings.This romantic style changed the way people thought about music.Many later composers got new ideas from his musical discoveries.
【语篇解读】失聪改变了贝多芬的生活，失聪后的贝多芬改变了他自己创造音乐的风格，他的风格开创了一个音乐的新时代。

Thanks for your considering our above questions，Mr Cousins.I'm looking forward to your reply.
Yours sincerely，
