But where did it come from?Rock began in the USA in the early 1950s. At that time, “rhythm and blue” music was very popular with black Americans. “R&B” was a mixture of black religious music and jazz. It had strong rhythms that you could dance to and simple, fast words.Noticing the success of R&B music, white musicians started to copy the same style. By the mid1950s, this new white R&B music, called rock n roll, had become very popular. Singers like Elvis Presley and Bill Haley attracted millions of teenage fans. Their music was fast and loud. Many older people thought that rock n roll was very dangerous.By the early 1960s, even rock n roll had become oldfashioned. Many of the songs had begun to sound the same. It was at that time that a new group from England became popular the Beatles.The Beatles first started by singing American style songs, but they soon developed their own style, with more complicated tunes. They also introduced different instruments. Groups like the Beatles had a very important influence on the style of popular music.By the early 1970s, rock n roll had developed into a new form of music. Electronics had replaced the amplified guitars and drums of rock n roll. “Rock” had arrived.Rock music had continued to change and develop. It had combined with music from different parts of the world. Today, there are hundreds of different types of rock music, and almost every country has its own form of rock.语篇解读：本文介绍了摇滚乐的发展史。1When had rock n roll become very popular?ABy the mid1950s.

This 3.3 million acre (英亩) park in southern California is the lowest, hottest, and driest place in North America. The lowest point is 86 meters below sea level. In the summer, the average temperature is 46 ， and the highest temperature ever recorded here was 56.6 . There are some summers when Death Valley receives no rain, and the average rainfall is fewer than two inches.The earliest visitors to this desert area were different tribes (部落) of Native Americans. They walked through this area but did not stay. In 1849, people heard about the discovery of gold in California. Thousands of people began the long trip to the west. This large desert area was so difficult to cross that it received the name Death Valley.Today, tourists and nature lovers from all over the United States travel to Death Valley to enjoy its natural beauty. There are over one thousand kinds of plants in this desert, including many kinds of cactuses and flowers. Cactuses, with their interesting and unusual shapes, need very little rain. Their roots are close to the surface of the ground so they can quickly collect any rainfall. A few days after the first rain in the spring, thousands of wildflowers cover the desert.There are also many animals that have learned to live in this area. Most are active at night, and they sleep during the day. For example, the kangaroo rat sleeps deep underground while the sun is out. It can live all its life without drinking any water, getting its water from the food it eats.If you are planning a trip to Death Valley, winter is the best time to visit. And there are more things to know and prepare before you set off.语篇解读：本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了位于美国加州的死亡谷国家公园。9Death Valley National Park _.Areceives very little rainBis hot all the year roundCis the biggest park in the US.Dlies in the northern part of California解析：选A细节理解题。由第一段中的“driest place”和“the average rainfall is fewer than two inches”可知，A项说法正确。10Death Valley got its name _.Ain the early 19th centuryBthanks to Native AmericansCfrom the colors of its plantsDbecause of the terrible weather解析：选D细节理解题。由第一段中的“the lowest, hottest, and driest place”和第二段中的“This large desert area was so difficult to cross that it received the name Death Valley”可知，那里极端恶劣的天气使得人们很难穿越，所以得名死亡谷，故选D项。11What will the author most probably talk about next?AThe discovery of gold.BSome advice for tourists.CThe history of Death Valley.DHow to protect Death Valley.解析：选B推理判断题。由最后一段内容可知，作者接着很可能会介绍一些去死亡谷旅游时应该注意的事项，故选B项。DOne of the best things you can do for your health is to drop a few pounds. Or maybe more than a few pounds. Being overweight increases your danger of heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer, the list seems almost endless. Youd better find several simple things you can do on a daily basis such as making rules of eating more vegetables and less fat and getting more physical activities. After breakfast, make water your primary drink. At breakfast, go ahead and drink orange juice. But throughout the rest of the day, focus on water instead of juice or soda. The average American consumes (消耗) an extra 245 calories a day from soft drinks. Thats nearly 90,000 calories a year or 25 pounds! And research shows that neither the calories nor sugary drinks give you a sense of fullness the way that food does. People take only 2,000 to 3,000 steps a day. Adding 2,000 steps will help you keep your present weight and stop gaining weight. Adding more than that will help you lose weight. Eat five or six small meals or snacks a day instead of three large meals. A 1999 South African study found that when men ate parts of their morning meal at intervals over five hours, they consumed almost 20 percent fewer calories at lunch than when they ate a single breakfast. 语篇解读：本文主要描述了作者在减肥方面的一些建议。12Where is the passage probably taken from?

ALots of diseases are related to being overweight. BThose who have a single breakfast eat less at lunch time. CTaking 4,000 to 5,000 steps a day can help you lose weight. DAn average American consumes 25 pounds of soft drinks a year.解析：选A细节理解题。A选项定位原文第二段第一句，与原文同义替换。B选项定位原文最后一段最后一句，“他们会少摄入少于20%的卡路里跟只吃一顿早餐相比”，由此可知饮食习惯可以减少卡路里的摄入，跟吃多少东西并无关系，故不可选。C选项定位原文第四段，原文提到4,0005,000 steps will help you keep your present weight, C选项为lose weight，故排除。D选项定位原文第三段倒数第二句，原文为nearly 25 pounds, D选项省去了nearly，故无法形成同义替换。.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Maybe you are an ordinary student._16_This is not necessarily so.
