At first, it was associated with an athletic style of dancing, known as breakdancing(霹雳舞)．‎ The 1980s saw the intense diversification(多元化) in rap music, which developed into a more complex form. The simple tales of the 1970s were replaced by the complex, multilayered beats. Some rappers even became mainstream pop performers, including Kurtis Blow.‎ Rap music was almost entirely unknown outside of the United States prior_to the 1980s. During that decade, it began to spread and became a part of the music scene in dozens of countries. In the early part of the decade, breakdancing became the first aspect of hiphop culture to reach Germany, Japan and South Africa. Meanwhile, ‎ 7‎ recorded rap music was released in France and the Philippines.‎ In the 1990s and the following decade, elements of rap music continued to be absorbed into other kinds of popular music. In Europe, Africa, and Asia, rap music began to reach mainstream audiences.‎ In the 2000s, the United States has seen the rise of alternative rap music in the form of popular performers like The Roots, Mos Def, and many others.‎ In some countries, performers have become well known outside of their own countries, and rap music has continued to spread into new lands, including Russia, Egypt, and China.‎ There are various views on rap music. For example, some people criticize rap music for the promotion of violence, while others admire it as a way to understand cultural idioms and consider many rappers to have an acute social and political awareness.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了rap music的历史。‎ ‎1．The rap music in the 1980s developed into________.‎ A．a simpler form　　　　　 B．an easier form C．a more complex form　　 D．a more difficult form 解析：选C　细节理解题。由第二段第一句“The 1980s saw the intense diversification(多元化) in rap music, which developed into a more complex form.” 可知答案为C项。‎ ‎2．The underlined part in the third paragraph probably means“________”．‎ A．in　　 B．before C．after　　 D．within 解析：选B　词义猜测题。从其后一句的解释可知，prior to the 1980s意为“在20世纪80年代以前”，故B项与其意义接近。‎ ‎3．Rap music began to be accepted by the mainstream in Europe in________.‎ A．the middle of the 1970s B．the 2000s C．the 1990s D．the 1980s 解析：选C　推理判断题。由第四段开头及最后一句“rap music began to reach mainstream audiences”可判断出。‎ ‎4．Which of the following statements is RIGHT?‎ A．The author doesn't like rap music because he thinks that it promotes 7‎ ‎ violence.‎ B．In the 2000s, some rap music performers became popular around the world.‎ C．Breakdancing comes from rap music.‎ D．In the 1990s, the first piece of rap music was released in the Philippines by Mos Def.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“and rap music has continued to spread into new lands, including Russia, Egypt, and China”可判断B项正确。‎ B Goldfish have pretty boring lives, so maybe it's a good thing that they can only concentrate for nine seconds！But according to a new research, humans are becoming like goldfish.Our attention span(时长) is getting shorter...and it's all because of technology.‎ ‎“We move quickly from one site to another on the web，”says Doctor Ted Selker, a computer scientist from Massachusetts，“and we are losing the ability to concentrate.”With millions of websites to choose from, the attention span of the average Internet user is just seconds.There are other digital distractions(分心) too：email, instant messaging and quickie movies on websites.‎ Some people are worried about the effect on young people.“You need time to understand and think about what you read，”says Julia Wood, from London.“Young people search the net all the time and their brains become full of useless information but there is no time to make sense of it.I am trying to persuade my pupils to read more books, so that they concentrate on one subject for longer.”‎ Other teachers are trying more unusual methods to improve students' concentration.Anne Savan, from Wales, was so worried about her students that she started playing Mozart during her science lessons.She says that it had an amazing effect：“The music made them calmer, and their concentration was much better.”‎ But not everyone believes that there is a problem.Ray Cole, an educational psychologist says：“On the web, young people learn to make quick decisions about what is and isn't worth reading.They might look at five unhelpful websites very quickly, before stopping and reading a sixth useful website more carefully.In a world with so much information available, this is an important skill.”‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇议论文。随着科技的发展，人们将大量时间花在浏览网站上，快速不断地浏览使人们的注意力时长越来越短；但是有人认为，浏览网站，可以提高年轻人的判断能力。‎ 7‎ ‎5．Why does the writer mention “goldfish”？‎ A．To analyze data.　　　　　 B．To introduce a topic.‎ C．To settle problems.
