查看习题详情和答案>>We lost two super stars in 1977，Neither man's admirers have been able to understand the success of the other one.
Both Bing Crosby and Elvis Presley reached fame when quite young and became very rich. And both developed their own musical styles-styles which were at first not accepted but later studied as new forms of popular songs. The difference between the two mirrors the changing values in American life. Crosby was singing to wartime America. His admirers always said how “relaxing” he was. When Presley began singing, the whole country had become relaxed and easy-going. Its young people, without any memory of troubled times, were hungry for excitement. They welcomed Elvis, who was bringing something new and exciting. Crosby's songs, sweet and sentimental(伤感的), were saying something; their “message” was as important as the music. Although many of Presley’s songs were sentimental too, it was mostly the sound that moved the audiences. Rock'n'roll was just “sounds”. Songs stopped being songs and turned into noise. The Crosby generation has trouble with rock’n’ roll because it makes the mistake of trying to understand the words, while the Presley generation has trouble with Crosby because it finds the music unexacting and the words empty.
1. Elvis Presley belonged to _______.
A. a younger generation than Crosby’s
B. an older generation than Crosby’s
C. a more relaxed age than Crosby’s
D. the same age as Crosby’s
2. Both Crosby and Presley were singers of _______.
A. wartime America B. popular songs
C. rock’n’roll D. songs with words
3. To Crosby’s admirers, rock’n’roll may sound _______.
A. sentimental B. noisy
C. exciting D. mistaken
4. The difference of the two singers’ styles may be sign of _______.
A. how much values have changed in American life
B. how deeply we now distrust the value of words
C. how far America has been away from troubled times
D. how different the two styles are
5. In which circumstances（情景) are you most likely to hear one or two Crosbies?
A. Seeing an American movie produced in the 1940’s.
B. Attending a concert of rock’n’roll.
C. In a shop selling records of American music.
