分析 美国歌手帕蒂•佩姬与世长辞,享年86岁;她是美国战后时期最受欢迎的女歌手之一.
解答 33.B 推理判断题.根据"…died on January 3rd,2013,when she was 86."可推断她出生在1927年,再根据第二段"Born in Claremore,Oklahoma,a small town near Tulsa…"可知她出生在一个小镇,由此可判断选B项.
34.C 推理判断题.根据第四段"And then,there was Doggie in the Window.The creative tune was a huge hit,but with its repeated barking sounds and silly lyrics(歌词),the song has been used by many people as an example of all that was wrong with pop music in the early 1950s."其重复的吠声和愚蠢的歌词(歌词),这首歌已经被很多人视为是在1950年代早期流行音乐的错例.由此可以推测出 Doggie in the Window受到批判,所以答案选C.
35.A 推理判断题.根据第一段"She was one of the most beloved singers of the post-war era.Take herThe Tennessee Waltz for example,it sold more than 10 million copies and was her biggest hit."可知,此处是举例说明她是美国战后时期最受欢迎的女歌手之一,故选A项.
