Question

【題目】In January, 2016, Harry Styles made a bold decision. He left the popular boy band One Direction and went solo (單飛). Now he is making his own voice heard. The 23-year-old British singer released his first solo single called Sign of the Times. His self-titled album (個(gè)人同名專(zhuān)輯) is coming out on May 12.

Going solo is a journey for him to find his identity (身份). Though at the time, he was uncertain about his future, he kept a word in his mind - “honesty”. “I didn’t want to write ‘stories’,” he told Rolling Stone. “I wanted to write my stories, things that happened to me. The number-one thing was I wanted to be honest. I hadn’t done that before.”

He is indeed full of stories since beginning his solo career. Last fall, he spent two months recording on a remote island in Jamaica (牙買(mǎi)加).Along with some musicians, he filled a two-floor house with instruments. They hung out at the bar that looked like a tree house. Many mornings began with a swim in the river down the hill. They watched many romantic comedies. Styles always held a black notebook and looked like a college student who was studying, Rolling Stone reported.

His coming album is about rock music. In fact, he grew up with it. His father Desmond was a rock music fan. When Styles was very young, he danced to The Dark Side of the Moon, a classic song by British rock band Pink Floyd. “I couldn’t really get it. But I just remember (thinking that) this is really cool.”

Harry said, “At the very beginning, all I wanted was to be the granddad with the best stories.” Surely, now he is on the right track (軌道).

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】D

【2】B

【3】D

【4】A

【解析】文章講述了一名英國(guó)歌手Harry Styles離開(kāi)了受歡迎的男孩樂(lè)隊(duì)，單飛去自己的音樂(lè)，他想找到真正的自己，想堅(jiān)持自己的對(duì)音樂(lè)的那份真誠(chéng)，寫(xiě)出真正發(fā)生在自己身上的故事而進(jìn)行的一系列的活動(dòng)。并走上了自己認(rèn)為的正確的軌道。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)題解題。從文中第2段 “I wanted to write my stories, things that happened to me. The number-one thing was I wanted to be honest. I hadn’t done that before.”可以看出Styles單飛的原因是想做他以前沒(méi)做過(guò)的事物。故選D。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第2段“I wanted to write my stories, things that happened to me.”可知Styles不想去編造故事，他想去寫(xiě)真正發(fā)生在自己身上的故事可知，他想成為一個(gè)有“故事”的人。故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。從第3段“Styles always held a black notebook and looked like a college student who was studying.”可知，Styles常常拿著一個(gè)黑色筆記本，看起來(lái)像一個(gè)正在學(xué)習(xí)的大學(xué)生而并不是他像一個(gè)大學(xué)生一樣學(xué)習(xí)，所以D選項(xiàng)錯(cuò)誤，故選D。

【4】主旨大意題。這篇文章總體講述的是Styles單飛之后發(fā)生在他身上的一系列故事。而其它選項(xiàng)均沒(méi)有過(guò)多提及。故選A。
