Answer 1

答案：B;D;C;C;B;A;D;B;C;B;A;C;D;B;C;A;A;B;D;B
解析：

(1) 上下文是相反的含义，上文说吸引了很多人，下文说极少数人可以成各，用转折副词。 (2) 从下文可知，只有天资是不够的，而不是说天才不重要或不必要。 (3) 下文说到裁缝、旧式服装。因此选C，此处谈论服装。 (4) 下文说“当时人们的品味”，上文说与裁缝做衣服讲求时尚一样，从中可判断此时讲述人们在表演时要像裁缝讲求时尚一样，根据当时的品味进行变化。 (5) 表演要追寻与遵循时尚品味。 (6) 对演员与舞蹈者都是真的，没说假话。如果选B要the。 (7) 这一句承上启下，下一段讲到流行音乐，因此选D.歌手。 (8) 歌手的工作就是唱歌，从下文看用B描述更全面，下文有提示He must work even harder...。 (9) 既然要“吸引别人的注意力”，就必须有不同凡响，与众不同的风格。 (10) 从上下文的语义来看，即使他成功了，也不能松懈，必须更努力工作。 (11) 与以前一样受欢迎。 (12) 原因状语从句，解释他要不懈地努力的原因，“因为总有更年轻的歌手”。 (13) 下文说他们的一举一动受到公众的关注，因此选D，他们的生活不容易。 (14) 注意不能选old，只有独自一人时才能放松，因为平时受到大众的关注。 (15) who引导定语从句修饰上文的“歌迷”，歌迷对歌手来说是最重要的人。 (16) 这些人买他的唱片让他有钱赚，听他的音乐会为他捧场，让他名利双收。 (17) can表示理论上、习惯上的“可能会，有时会”，他们有时也会惹乱子。 (18) 总结上文。与下文语义一致，买新衣服让他看上去很爽（这与住房和食物无关）。 (19) 最重要的是。 (20) 这样做不是为自己。上文提到歌手要give the public what they want,歌迷是the most important people in the world，因此他保持微笑是给歌迷看的。
