1.C 导解:fan意为“(运动、电影等的)狂热爱好者”,又如:country music fans乡村音乐迷;baseball fans棒球迷。 2.A 导解:从上文中的Every Saturday night the place is…可知,这里指的是1967年元月的一个星期六。 3.B 导解:作为地位低下的黑人能第一次登上美国最重要的乡村音乐大厅的舞台,是不同寻常的事。 4.D 导解:从下文的whether a black man could sing country songs可知,Charley是个black man. 5.B 导解:在上下文中已多次暗示。 6.B 导解:sight在此处意为“情景、奇观”。这里指看到黑人Charley登上舞台真是一大奇观。 7.D 导解:step onto the stage指由台下“走上台”。 8.A 导解:因为以前黑人从未唱过乡村歌曲,所以一些人对Charley登台演唱是否成功没有把握。 9.C 导解:可是Charley那圆浑的歌喉很快征服了在场的所有听众。 10.B 导解:win over意为“战胜、压倒、赢得”。 11.B 导解:crowd在这里指舞台下的广大听众。 12.C 导解:star歌星。这里指Charley唱红了,成了红歌星。 13.B 导解:像很多乡村歌手一样,Charley靠务农为生。raise意为“喂养、饲养”,raised on a farm相当于make a living by farming. 14.D 导解:可是Charley并不打算把务农作为他终生的职业。 15.A 导解:Charley在当地一家夜总会里唱歌。 16.B 导解:由句子前后逻辑分析判断。 17.C 导解:Red Sovine听了Charley的歌后,想让他忘掉棒球,专心于歌唱事业。 18.D 导解:Charley听取了Red Sovine的建议。 19.C 导解:Charley唱歌走红,成了焦点人物,他的唱片音带总是名列榜首。 20.A 导解:直到今天,Charley仍是一位最优秀的乡村歌手之一。 |

When you read a story in English, do you read it for the story or for the English? This is a 1 that is not so foolish 2 it may seem. For I 3 that many students of English 4 far more attention to the story than to the English. They read and 5 and for a long time 6 remember the story, but do not care to study the 7 of words and 8 in it. For instance, they care for the memory of 9 the mystery (神秘) in the story is solved, but do not remember a 10 sentence in the story and cannot 11 what preposition is used before or after a certain 12 in the speech of a 13 character.
Of course, it is all right to read and enjoy and 14 a story, and so 15 as one wants to 16 the story only, one need not bother (费心) about the language. But the case is quite different with a 17 of English. I mean a student of English is different from a student of stories or 18 is called the general reader.
As you may also have 19 from the above, you ought to read very 20. Not only very carefully but also aloud, and that again and again 21 you know the passage by heart and can 22 it as if it were your own. Positively (正面) this will teach you many 23 words and phrases; negatively (负面) it will help you to avoid many errors and faults in expression. Incidentally I have found from 24 that intelligent copying is a help to 25 by heart.
