Question

In his lowest days when few people bought his records, Taiwan singer Steve Chou lived alone in Canada and did little. One day, he passed by a local CD store and heard a song that greatly attracted him. “My heart tells me that music is the thing I truly want to do, not for fame（名誉）or money,” Chou said. That’s how we luckily have such a music genius（天才）, who has since then composed（作曲）lots of hits for the pop music charts (排行榜).

“Sometimes we need to get close to nature to look deeply into our souls and see what we really want to follow,” he said.

Recently he has made public his latest work Lovers Genesis. In this album（集）he explores human relationships in the Internet age. “Technology itself is a good thing, but it depends on how you’re going to use it,” is Chou’s advice to teenagers.

Chou often gets his music ideas from trips. He has traveled to many places around the world and believes that learning a country’s language is the fastest way of experiencing the culture behind it.

Chou has worked hard on learning English to push forward his music career(事业). He has flown to the UK to attend months-long English training schools three times. There he lives with local families and practices daily conversations.

“So I could easily read the English instructions on recording machines and communicate with the local music producers,” said Chou, “The music reviews of the US or British singers that I appreciate（感激） could help me learn and grow with them.”

试题分析:这篇文章向大家介绍了周传雄和音乐的一些事情

1.B读完全文可知正确顺序是4几乎没有人买他的专辑，2他路过当地的一家CD店，听到一首歌很打动他，3他的作曲多次登上流行音乐排行榜，1他出版专辑 《Lovers Genesis》（《恋人创世纪》）。

2.2】D根据Chou has worked hard on learning English to push forward his music career(事业).可知周传雄努力学英语是想推进他的事业，所以他去英国学英语是因为D他认为那样对自己的音乐事业有帮助。

3.3】C根据not for fame（名誉）or money可知周传雄喜欢音乐并不是为了名誉和金钱，所以C音乐可以给他带来名誉和金钱是他不赞成的。

4.4】C这个问题是你认为周传雄是个什么样的人A助人为乐，文中并没有提到这一点，B自豪自信，文中提到周传雄的音乐专辑销量不好的时候，他独来独往，内心孤独，所以B不合适，D冷静沮丧，这篇文章主要说周传雄热爱音乐，为了自己的事业不怕打击，积极向上的一面，所以D不适合，通过阅读，只有C积极勤奋最合适。
