2．In January，2016，Harry Styles made a bold decision．He left the popular boy band One Direction and went solo （单飞）．Now he is making his own voice heard．The 23-year-old British singer released his first solo single called Sign of the Times．His self-titled album （个人同名专辑） is coming out on May 12．
Going solo is a journey for him to find his identity （身份）．Though at the time，he was uncertain about his future，he kept a word in his mind-"honesty"．"I didn't want to write‘stories'，"he told Rolling Stone．"I wanted to write my stories，things that happened to me．The number-one thing was I wanted to be honest．I hadn't done that before．"
He is indeed full of stories since beginning his solo career．Last fall，he spent two months recording on a remote island in Jamaica （牙买加）．Along with some musicians，he filled a two-floor house with instruments．They hung out at the bar that looked like a tree house．Many mornings began with a swim in the river down the hill．They watched many romantic comedies．Styles always held a black notebook and looked like a college student who was studying，Rolling Stone reported．
His coming album is about rock music．In fact，he grew up with it．His father Desmond was a rock music fan．When Styles was very young，he danced to The Dark Side of the Moon，a classic song by British rock band Pink Floyd．"I couldn't really get it．But I just remember （thinking that） this is really cool．"
Harry said，"At the very beginning，all I wanted was to be the granddad with the best stories．"Surely，now he is on the right track （轨道）．

19．We all know the Olympic Games．（61）Butdo you know the Mud Olympic Games which are sports games in the mud？
Every year，about 400 people from all over Europe meet in a small town in northern Germany（62）to take（take） part in the Mud Olympics-the（63）muddiest（muddy） sports meeting in the world．It is held（64）onthe the beach when the tide is out，so it is very muddy．The sports meeting（65）has（have） many traditional sports like football，volleyball and bicycle races，as well as some special and new activities（66）played（play） in the mud．It raises money for a local charity．
The advertisements of the sports meeting are（67）really（real） interesting．One of the（68）advertisements（advertisement） said，"If you want to play，just put on the clothes that you don't mind（69）getting（get） covered in the mud and join us!Viewers are more than welcome．So if you don't care about the mud（70）which/thatcan get you dirty，come and enjoy yourself!

6．"Image is everything．"An entire industry has been built upon the assumption that image is everything，but when it comes down to it，an appealing image is not enough．If there is no substance（事实）behind the image，the product，service or person will fail eventually．
First of all，one should consider how important image is in the selling of products and services．Advertising agencies have raised the art of creating an image to a state of near perfection．Public concept of that product or service is certainly managed by the images created by the advertising agencies．But if the product or service does not live up to the image that was created，the customer will be very dissatisfied and possibly ask for their money back．For example，the Arthur Andersen accounting firm had spent decades building up an image of trustworthiness．But the recent scandal （丑闻） showed that behind that image，it cheated in business practices．Despite the previous positive image，the firm is being accused of criminal actions and it will probably not survive as a business unit．Although the image had been nearly perfect，the reality behind the image has led to the downfall of the world famous accounting firm．
Similarly，personal advisers can build up a public image for politicians and movie stars．Putting out positive news releases，making sure that only the best photographs are published，and ensuring that the person is seen in all the right places can build up a very positive image in the view of the general commons．But once again，history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune．With people，just as with products and services，image is certainly important，but without positive substance behind the image，failure is close．
To summarize，it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success，whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the"selling"of a person．But image is only half of the equation．What lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itself--the person or product must deliver on that image or there is little chance for long-term success．

32．The downfall of the Arthour Andersen accounting firm is due toB．
A．its previous images
B．its dishonesty in business
C．its bad management
D．its poor service
33．Why did some famous people fall from grace？C

B．They felt much pressure from the public．
C．They failed to live up to their images．
D．They paid little attention to fame and fortune．

35．The author tries to argue thatD．

B．image is the key to success
C．truth is unlikely ever to be equaled

9．FrankensteinFrankenstein was a book by Mary Shelly----it's been adapted for the screen dozens of times．The story of Frankenstein is told through a series of letters written by Captain Robert Walton to his sister，as he leads an expedition （长征）to the North Pole．On the way，he meets Victor Frankenstein，who tells Walton the story of his life．Frankenstein is the surname of the guy who creates the monster．The monster doesn't actually have a game．Anyway，Victor is a scientist who's desperate to discover the secret of life．After years of study，he makes an enormous creature out of human remains and brings it to life．Victor intends it to be beautiful．Unfortunately，the creature turns out really hideous，and Victor runs away in terror．Although the monster is good and kind，humans are scared of it．When they mistreat it，the monster becomes angry and evil．Wanting revenge on its creator，the monster murders Dr．Frankenstein's brother，his wife，and his best friend．When Victor figures out the monster is behind all the deaths，he swears to track it down and kill it．
This book was written in 1816，right after a period called the Enlightenment．The Enlightenment emphasized the pursuit of knowledge and reason，and gave rise to the scientific method．Mary Shelley criticized the Enlightenment through the character of Victor Frankenstein，"He is a negative example of an Enlightenment scientist-------he pursues knowledge at any cost，and his obsession with discovering the secret of life destroys him，as well as his friends and family．"Some Enlightenment thinkers might have seen such a loss as necessary for the advancement of science，but not Mary Shelley．She and her husband，poet Percy Shelly，were part of the Romanic Movement in art and literature．Romancism was a reacrion against the Enlightenment's embrace of rationality and reason．The Romantics emphasized emotion over rationality，and thought people should feel awe and terror in regard to nature．Frankenstein incorporates all these ideas．To Shelley，Frankenstein doesn't fear and respect the world of nature enough------she says that by tempering with nature，he brings about complete disaster．Frankenstein is not just a great Romantic novel．It's also considered one of the first major works of science fiction．It influences a whole generation of writers，and the monster has become one of the most recognizable figures in Western culture．

7．Fifty years ago，the well-loved musician Bob Dylan played at the Newport Folk Festival and was widely booed （嘘声）．The audience may have been unhappy but Dylan's performance helped change the direction of music and culture in the United States．
The mid-1960s were a time of great change．One such place of change was the world of folk music．Bob Dylan became a symbol of change when he moved from acoustic （原声的） to electric guitar．
Rock music historian Elijah Wald has written a new book about the change．It is called"Dylan Goes Electric．""There was a moment in the early 1960s when you could look at the Billboard charts and seven of the top 10albums were folk records．And Joan Baez，Peter Paul and Mary，the Kingston Trio，all had huge，huge，huge number-one records．"
And then this happened：The"British Invasion"introduced the world to the Beatles and grew a huge fan base for rock music．That worried many folk musicians，says Elijah Wald．They hoped that Bob Dylan would come to the rescue．However，a new Dylan sound came from the stage．
Bob Dylan had gone electric，and the followers of folk music were not pleased．"When Dylan went electric，I think one of the issues was the feeling that-wait a minute，he's gone over to the enemy．"
Folk lovers had looked to Bob Dylan to save their movement from rock and roll．But，author Wald says Dylan felt differently about the music．"Dylan had always liked rock and roll and Dylan didn't think of rock and roll as stupid music．"
In fact，Dylan was a Beatles fan．He later said that from the first time he heard the Beatles he knew"they were pointing to the direction where music had to go．"
Beyond the music，Dylan's performance that night also marked a turn in American culture．

26．Which is TRUE about American music world in the early 1960s according to Elijah Wald？C
A．Great changes had taken place in folk music．
B．People had grown sincere love for rock music．
C．Folk music was once a huge mainstream pop trend．
D．Bob Dylan was the best American musician at that time．
27．What did folk musicians and followers expect Dylan to do？B
A．Change folk music for better．
B．Recover the glory of folk music．
C．Introduce the world to the Beatles．
D．Play rock and roll against the Beatles．
28．What will the author most probably talk about next？D
A．Dylan's deep love for the Beatles'rock and roll music．
B．Dylan's beliefs in the new direction music should go．
C．Dylan's music as a great contribution to American folk music．
D．Dylan's performance as a mark of a change in American culture．
