阅读类训练（9）阅读理解。阅读下列短文, 从给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出最佳选项。Like many people you may be dreaming of a career as a rock and roll star. There are two ways to go about getting one. First there is the traditional way. Find some friends and form a group. Learn to play the guitar or the drums. Write your own songs. Spend hours arguing about the band name. Then go on the road.The next step is to spend a year or two touring. If you are good, the crowds will get bigger. In the end an artist from a record company may come to a show. If he or she likes you，there may be a deal. This is the route traditionally followed by bands in the music industry. Success means fame and wealth. And failure gives you some interesting stories to tell your children.Over the last few years a different path to success has become known. Boy bands like Boyzone and girl bands like the Spice Girls dont come together on their own.They are created by managers and record companies.Their image is strictly controlled. Professional song writers usually write their music. This is a convenient arrangement and the public seems to love the result.Though boy and girl bands have become very popular recently，there is a long tradition of making music in this way. In the early 1960s an American businessman called Berry Gordy founded Motown Records. Motown is short for “motor town”. The record company was based in the city of Detroit, where thousands of AfricanAmericans had moved to work in the car industry. They brought with them a cultural tradition of writing and performing music. This style later became known as “soul music”. Berry Gordy was a diamond miner. He took raw talent from the street and polished it until it shone. Motown stars were not just given songs to sing. They were also taught how to dress well and speak properly.1In the first paragraph the writer seems to tell us _.A. to form a band is very hardB. the name of the band is very importantC. newlybuilt bands can only perform by roadD. to form a band is very simple答案：D推断题。依据第一段中“First.”所在的句子可看出作者认为组成一个乐队非常简单。2If a newborn band wants to succeed, as the writer tells, it must have the chance_.A. to travel in big citiesB. to perform before an artistC. to make an agreement with a record companyD. to experience failure again and again答案：C细节题。根据第二段中“In the end an artist from a record company may come to a show. If he or she likes you, there may be a deal.”可知C项正确。3From the fourth paragraph，we can conclude that _.A. Motown was only enjoyed by the workers in DetroitB. Motown showed the style of the black AmericansC. Detroit used to be famous for its music industryD. Detroit was founded by AfricanAmericans答案：B细节题。依据该段中“. where thousands of AfricanAmericans had moved to work in the car industry.”而确定选B项。4From the passage, we can learn that Motown stars_.A. used to be minersB. used to dress poorlyC. became perfect little by littleD. came from Berry Gordys hometown答案：C推理判断题。根据最后一段中“He took raw talent from the street and polished it until it shone.”可知C项是最佳选项。第一部分完形填空完形填空训练阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。I walked into the grocery store, not really wanting to buy anything.
