题目内容
Mr Black has two sons, one of ________working as a doctor.
A. them B. who C. whom D. whose
A
【解析】
试题分析:句意为:布莱克先生有两个儿子,其中的一个是一名医生。逗号之后没有谓动词,此处不是一个句子,因此也就排除了非限制性定语从句的可能,这里应是一个独立主格结构,其构成方式为:n/pron+doing/done/to do. one of them与working 之间的关系为主动,前面缺少主语的格式,故为one of them,
而one of +whose/who/whom为非限制性定语从句关系词。所以答案应为A
考点:考查独立主格结构。
JAMES Brown, the legendary US singer known as the “Godfather of Soul”, died Christmas morning, 2006. he was 73.
Brown was one of the major musical influences of the last
50 years. He provided the basis for mu
ch of black music and
most of pop music with his early hits like. “Please, Please,
Please”. He essentially created funk(“疯客”音乐)with
mid-1960s songs such as "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag".
It won him a Grammy Award as best rhythm-and-blues song,
and it was only the beginning of Mr. Brown's rhythmic
breakthroughs. His rapid-footed dancing inspired Michael Jackson and Prince. Rap stars of recent years, such as Fat Boys and Publ
ic Enemy, have all borrowed his lyrics and rhythms.
Brown's songs in the late 1960s and early 1970s, such as "Hot Pants" and "Make It Funky", mixed the sophistication(复杂) of jazz-style arrangements with raw funk. With these songs, Brown established himself as the godfather not just of soul, but of all subsequent styles of dance music: funk, disco, hip hop.
"He made soul music a world music," said Al Sharpton, who toured with Brown in the 1970s and imitates his hairstyle to this day. "What Brown was to music in terms of soul and hip hop, rap, all of that, is what Bach(巴赫, 德国作曲家) was to classical music. He put everybody on a different beat, a different style of music."
Amid the civil rights movement of the 1960s Mr. Brown used his fame and music for social messages. He released "Don't Be a Dropout" in 1966 and met with Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey to promote a stay-in-school initiative. Two years later "Say It Loud - I'm Black and I'm Proud" insisted, "We won't quit movin' until we get what we deserve."
