　　Dick Clark，entertainment pioneer and television host of American Bandstand，has died at age 82.He suffered a heart attack and died in Santa Monica，California on April 18th,2017.

　　He wasn’t a singer or musician，but Dick Clark was one of the most famous names in rock and roll.In the 1950s and 1960s，his afternoon television show，American Bandstand，was a daily program for teens across the country and it changed the way Americans listened to pop music.

　　Clark hit the airwaves before he was even out of high school.His career began in the mailroom of a radio station run by his father and uncle.Before long，he was on the air.He continued to work as a disc jockey(DJ，电台音乐节目主持人) through college，and returned to the small，family­run station after graduation.One year later，in 1952，he hit the “big time，” moving to WFIL in Philadelphia，Pennsylvania and soon was one of the best­known radio DJs in town.At that time，WFIL also owned a television station that had an afternoon teen dance show called Bandstand and in a few years Clark became the regular host of that program，too.

　　In 1957，the ABC television network decided to take Bandstand national，after Clark convinced them that a teen dance show would be popular all across the country.Renamed American Bandstand, the show became one of TV’s longest running series from 1957 to 1987.Everyone who was anyone in the pop music business performed on Bandstand，from Jerry Lee Lewis and the Jackson Five to Prince and the Talking Heads.

　　Dick Clark soon moved into the music publishing and record business.And then in 1963 he moved to Hollywood，where he started a company and produced some television programs.Some of the shows were music­related，but many were game shows and award shows.He was also a writer，leading some to wonder if Clark was a workaholic.

　　In 1972，Clark launched Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’Eve and watching the show every December 31 was soon a yearly tradition for millions and millions of Americans.Clark continued to host the show until 2004，when he suffered a stroke(中风) that left him partially paralyzed(瘫痪) and struggling to speak.But a year later，Clark was back and even though his speech was，at times，still difficult to understand，many praised his bravery.

　　Thanks to his great achievements，Dick Clark earned countless awards and honors during his long career：he has Emmys，Grammys，a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

　　A．was a television show launched by Dick Clark

　　B．was hosted by Dick Clark since its birth

　　C．was mainly about how to listen to pop music

　　D．was quite popular with teenagers across the U．S.

　　答案　D

　　解析　推理判断题。根据第二段“...his afternoon television show，American Bandstand，was a daily program for teens across the country and it changed the way Americans listened to pop music.”可知，下午档电视节目《美国舞台》成为全国青少年争相追捧的节目，由此判断选D项。

　　2．Dick Clark began to enter the radio business ________.

　　A．when he was still a high school student

　　B．after he graduated from college

　　C．after he moved to WFIL in Philadelphia

　　D．after he moved to Hollywood

　　答案　A

　　解析　细节理解题。根据第三段首句“Clark hit the airwaves before he was even out of high school.His career began in the mailroom of a radio station run by his father and uncle.”可知迪克·克拉克读高中的时候就开始从事广播事业，故选A项。

　　3．In the text，both Jerry Lee Lewis and the Jackson Five are mentioned to prove that ________.

　　A．Dick Clark was really a great TV host

　　B．Dick Clark had a great effect on others

　　C．American Bandstand was quite influential

　　D．American Bandstand helped many famous people

　　答案　C

　　解析　推理判断题。根据第四段可知，更名为《美国舞台》后，这个节目成为了从1957年到1987年连续播放时间最长的节目之一，之后举杰瑞·李·刘易斯、杰克逊五兄弟和the Talking Heads都在《美国舞台》表演过的例子来说明该节目极具影响力。

　　4．The underlined word “workaholic” in Paragraph 5 refers to a person who ________.

　　A．works happily

　　B．works aimlessly

　　C．works only for money

　　D．works most of the time and finds it difficult to stop

　　答案　D

　　解析　词义猜测题。根据上文，克拉克不仅是一名优秀的主持人，还进军音乐出版业和唱片业，1963年他又到好莱坞创办了一家电视节目公司，他还是一名作家。由此推断，该词意为“工作狂”。
