2016高考英语二轮阅读理解一百六十集选练（25）阅读理解, 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 don't 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 1960's 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.
1．In the first paragraph the writer seems to tell us ________.
A. to form a band is very hard
B. the name of the band is very important

2．If a newborn band wants to succeed, as the writer tells, it must have the chance________.
A. to travel in big cities
B. to perform before an artist
C. to make an agreement with a record company
D. 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。
3．From the fourth paragraph，we can conclude that ________.
A. Motown was only enjoyed by the workers in Detroit
B. Motown showed the style of the black Americans
C. Detroit used to be famous for its music industry
D. 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。

【2016高考训练】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。Teenagers who spend hours in front of the television may have a poorer diet as young adults.
A study，which included nearly 1，400 high school students，found those who watched TV for five hours or more per day had less healthy diets than peers(同龄人）five years later. Why does this happen? Should the parents take any measures?
On the one hand，people who spend a lot of time in front of the TV, especially teenagers，may snack more，and that may affect their long-term diet quality.
On the other hand，TV ads for fast food，sweets and snacks tempt teenagers to eat more of those foods. And TV time might also replace exercise time for some kids.
Lead researcher Dr. Daheia J. Barr-Anderson，of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis，told Reuters Health a clear correlation between TV time during high school and diet quality in young adulthood. While the heaviest TV viewers were eating the most junk food , those who'd watched less than two hours per day had the highest intake(吸收)of fruits，vegetables, whole grains and high-calcium food. In her opinion，parents should limit and monitor TV viewing.
As far as I am concerned，children should watch no more than two hours of television per day. And parents should set a good example by eating right，being physically active and curbing their own TV time.
1. What's the best title for this passage?
A. People should keep away from TV to keep healthy.
B. Teenagers' TV time may affect their diets later.

D. Parents' own habits may affect children later.
