A mix of the two cultures eventually appeared. The religious dance of the ring shout turned into modern dances like the Charleston, and tribal chants slowly transformed into sorrowful hymns (圣歌) sung by slaves that described their hardships.These soulful accounts by slaves of the severe climate and conditions began to be called “the blues”， which continued in popularity among African Americans after the Civil War. This music increased in popularity into the early 1900s when many black musicians became an important part of the music industry.The slaves that had been brought over were from all different regions of West Africa, but they worked together until they gradually formed a common culture. This strengthened the identity of their music that, in the 1950s, eventually led to the beginning of rock and roll. The Beatles, the most influential band of the 1960s, are often determined as the accelerator that resulted in the ideology (意识形态) surrounding music that is still around today. The freedom and individuality associated with that time period brought forth a whole culture surrounding music. It was not just music any more, but a lifestyle.Over the decades, music has developed into such a vital part of society and pop culture. Musicians are glorified, with tons of adoring and screaming fans. The modern technology of present day has allowed for a greater gap between the creator of the music and the fans, as well as the widespread commercialization of music. However, criticisms of modern pop music often arise due to its mass production, and now there is lack of the same soul and quality of naturalness and simplicity in music that was rising in the early 20th century.语篇解读：当奴隶开始被从西非带到美国南部时，他们也带来了自己的文化宗教、舞蹈、语言、音乐和烹饪。本文主要讲的是音乐在文化融合中的发展。1What contributed to the birth of the Charleston?AVarious African religions.BPeoples love of tribal dances.CA mix of two different cultures.DThe popularity of sorrowful hymns.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A mix of the two cultures .like the Charleston”可知，两种文化的混合促进了Charleston 的出现。故选C。2According to the passage, what can we learn about the blues?AIt became popular in the late 20th century.BIt may include the description of slaves sad lives.CIt mainly told the stories of the American Civil War.DIt reflected the hard lives of many black musicians.解析：选B细节理解题。根据第二段中的“These soulful accounts by slaves of the severe climate and conditions began to be calledthe blues”可知，对在苛刻的气候和环境下工作的奴隶的那些深情凄婉的描述被称作“the blues”。故选B。3What does the underlined word “This” in the third paragraph refer to?ASlaves collective work.BOne region of West Africa.CThe new common culture.DThe music by the Beatles.解析：选C代词指代题。根据第三段中的“they worked together until they gradually formed a common culture.This strengthened”可知，他们一起工作直到他们逐渐形成一种共同的文化。故选C。4It can be learned that the music in the early 20th century _.Apossessed soul and sincerityBbecame more commercializedCwas blamed for its mass productionDwidened the gap between musicians and fans解析：选A推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“and now there is lack of the same soul and quality of naturalness and simplicity in music that was rising in the early 20th century”可知，选A。.语法填空Scientists believe the Sahara Desert is _1_ (two) as old as we previously thought.
