题目内容
8.You have probably read the books.You have probably seen the movies.But have you heard the music?The latest Harry Potter news is that bands form to play what is called"wizard rock"or sometimes just"wrock".The new kind of music began when Joe De George 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,rehearsed and performed six songs about life at Hogwarts.After the first performance,Paul decided that"we are Harry and the potters."
Wizard rock is pretty much what it sounds like:rock"n"rock inspired by and set in the world of Harry Potter.The De George 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.Just ask the De George brothers.They've played more than 500shows in 49states and their hit songs are inspired by characters from Harry Potter:"Save Ginny Weasley"and"Voldemort Can't Stop the Rock!"The themes of their music are the same as those of Rowling's books:love and friendship,upset and struggle.
Wizard rock is just one more by-product 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 grow-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.

解答 51-54 CBDA
51.C 由第二段第一句The new kind of music began…以及后面段落中出现的"wizard rock"可知本文主要介绍一种由作品Harry Potter衍生的音乐:巫师摇滚.
52.B 可从上下文推断词义.如:The songs can be funny,but the music is not a joke.和The themes of their music are …love and friendship,upset and struggle.说明巫师摇滚音乐不是开玩笑,而是认真严肃的,故答案为B
53.D 由第四段中The themes of their music are the same as those of Rowling's books…可知巫师摇滚音乐的主题与Rowling写的书的主题是一致的,故D正确.
54.A 由最后一段Wizard rock is just one more by-product in the Harry Potter craze.可知在Harry Potter的热潮下已经衍生出很多副产品,由此可推断Harry Potter在许多方面都产生了重大影响.答案为A
