informal dance style. As far as the origin of rap music is concerned, most people agree that it is from AfroAmerican and Latino Street culture of New York City. Not only in this city but in the surrounding areas there is the influence of African people and their culture.
Rap is a vocal style in which the performer speaks rhythmically and in rhyme, generally to a beat. The term of rap music is the same with hip hop music typically — consisting of a rhythmic vocal style called rap. If we see it carefully, then we will definitely notice that the music usually is sung at a higher pitch (音高). Most of the time rap music is associated with chorus. Though rap music was primarily an American music style with African influence over its music and lyrics, recently it has been spread to almost the entire world.
There is hardly any country or nation where rap music cannot be seen in some form or another, and it is one of the most popular music styles among the youngsters. However, when it comes to its history, it is believed that hip hop or rap music started in the early 1970s, and gained much popularity throughout the world during the
late
1970s and early 1980s.
The history of rap music and hip hop music is full of controversies (争议) and bans, as the lyrics sometimes relate to drugs and crime; even most famous pop stars and hip hop musicians and singers were found to be associated with the controversies in their life. For that reason, no matter how popular this music style was or still is, it has always had a bad reputation in the eyes of mainstream society.

B
An older friend once gave me a piece of advice, “Enjoy the last few weeks of college,” she said, “since college is the best time of your life.”
This was not the first time I'd heard such a statement, but with graduation fast coming close, her words especially struck me. It seemed a bit disappointing to reach one's life peak at only 22 years of age, but in her opinion, college had been one of the best times in my life so far. I made friends, took classes, and learned a great deal about myself. But I was also excited for the time after college — moving to a new city, starting a new job, and becoming a “real” person. I hoped that my great dreams were practical.
Then, last week I read a column in Real Simple Magazine called 100 Years of Attitude, in which women 100 years or older shared their life experiences and views. I noticed that none of them considered college as the “best” time of their life. Not all of them went to college, but still in most cases their teens and twenties were not the best times of their life. They said some of their favorite times were raising their children, traveling after retirement, and even enjoying their present time and age.
Enjoying one's present time and age was a clear theme of the interviews. A piece of advice given by the women was about the importance of making the best of all situations. I think it more accurate than that of my friend; I can say with certainty that if I am lucky enough to make it to 100. I refuse to spend the last 80 years of my life plummeting (跌落) downhill, or even leveling off.
I am sure that our eagerness and devotion will make us college students live a meaningful life. We will not just look backwards or miss our college days. We will look forward in excitement about continued journey uphill.
5.Which of the following opinions does the writer agree with?
A.College is the best time of one's life.
B.Twenties were the best time of the old people.
C.One should make the best of all situations.
D.One should not look backwards at their college time.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据文章第四段第二、三句“A piece of advice given by the women ... making the best of all situations. I think it more accurate than that of my friend ...”可知,答案C符合文意。
6.In the second paragraph, the writer wants to say ________.
A.her achievements in college would be the peak of her success
B.she is looking forward to living as a “real” person in college
C.she becomes more and more uneasy with graduation
D.she is satisfied with the college life but is hopeful for the future
解析:选D 段落大意题。根据文章第二段最后三句可知,作者对现在的大学生活很满意,但同时对未来也充满了期待,故答案D符合文意。
7.The column the writer read is mainly about those old women's ________.
A.best time of life at youth
B.life experiences and views
C.different opinions about life
D.favorite time with best friends
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据文章第三段第一句中的“... in which women 100 years or older shared their life experiences and views”可知,答案B正确。
8.Which of the following words can be used to describe the writer?
A.Ambitious. B.Practical.
C.Imaginative.
D.Proud.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据对文章的整体理解,尤其是最后一段可推知,作者是一个不满足于现状的年轻人,是一个积极进取的人。故答案A“有抱负的”符合文意。
