Have you ever heard of the group Westlife? Maybe you have, but I’m sure many of you don’t know very much about it.
Westlife is an Irish boy band group, which was made up of 6 boys in the beginning and called IOU. The group quickly became popular with young people thanks to their song Swear It Again, which was at the top of the UK charts (排行榜) in April 1999.
Chinese fans got their first chance to see Westlife on March 6th, 2006 in Beijing. Although the four-member group has been singing pop for seven years, the young boys have all since grown up and their songs are still very popular. When they performed in Beijing, Westlife released (发行) their new album Face to Face in China. Face to Face has been at the top of the British charts for a long time. The album’s most popular song You Raise Me Up mixes traditional Irish music with pop music.
Although hip-hop is quite popular among the young, Westlife has no plans to change. They said, “Hip-hop is for the young, but pop can be enjoyed by moms who are busy cooking meals and raising the kids.

解析本文讲的是西城男孩及他们的音乐成就,并且谈到了中国的歌迷在2006年看他们在北京举办的演唱会的情况。
1.  C 从Westlife is an Irish boy band group可知他们是一个爱尔兰(Irish)音乐组合,故选C。
2.  A 细节题。我们可以从which was made up of 6 boys in the beginning知道开始有6个男孩子,从下文2006 in Beijing. Although the four-member group可知变成了4个成员,故选A。
3.  D 此题答案来自第二段,Chinese fans got their first chance to see Westlife on March 6th, 2006 in Beijing可知中国歌迷得到第一个与西城见面的机会,故D正确。
4.  A 此题地考查对西城男孩面对面这张专辑的分析。Swear It Again出现在1999年,而此专辑是在北京2006年才发行的,故A明显错误。
5.  B 细节题的考查。从the album’s most popular song You Raise Me Up mixes traditional Irish music with pop music可知西城的音乐以流行乐为主,后面讲到hip-hop但他们都不会改变风格。而C,D并没有提到。选B。
