24、It is difficult to say exactly how the music we call “rock” or “rock and roll” began. Its roots (根源) go back to many different countries and many different kinds of music and many musicians.

Rock music developed mainly from the interaction (相互影响）of black African and white European music. The Europeans and the African slaves (奴隶）who came to America during the seventeenth century each had their own different kinds of music. Black Africans used heavy drumbeats，a rough singing voice，and the calling of a melody (旋律）and answer of a chorus. The white Europeans，mostly English and Scots，used a stronger melody，a less heavy beat，and instruments such as guitars，horns，and fiddles. The history of rock and roll is the history of how rock changed from these two traditions.

From the seventeenth to the twentieth century， musicians in the southern United States developed two new forms of music： the blues，usually played by blacks，and country music， played by whites. Black musicians sang the blues with a guitar. This music was similar to work songs：stories of troubles and pain， with lines that were repeated several times. The word “rock and roll” probably came from the black churches in the South， where people sang and danced to the strong rhythms， which they called “rocking and reeling”. At the same time， whites were playing country music， which was mostly traditional dancing music and slow songs that told sad stories. The singers played with string instruments such as fiddles and guitars.

During this time blues and country musicians had some influence on each other， but the influence grew stronger after phonograph records (留声机唱片)became popular in the late nineteenth century. The birth of the electric guitar changed country and blue music in the 1940s. The sound of the electric guitar would become the sound， of rock and roll. No one thinks of early rock and roll without thinking of Elvis Presley，the“King of Rock and Roll”.Rock music continues to develop and change， but the heart and soul of rock is the same heart and soul that Elvis expressed.

A. Different Kinds of Music

【3】Which of the following describes country music?

A.  Country music is usually played by blacks.

B. People sang spiritual music and danced to the strong rhythms， which they called “country music”.

C. Country music was traditional dancing music and slow songs that told sad stories.

D. Country music was similar to work songs.

【4】Which of the following NOT right according to the passage?

A. In the seventeenth century， many visitors went to America from Europe and Africa.

26、阅读短文，从下面所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，其中有一个多余的选项。

During the 2016 Rio Olympics, people were surprised to see the round, purple marks on the body of the famous American swimmer Michael Phelps. 【1】 In fact, he just visited a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and had “cupping (拔火罐)”.

Massage (推拿) and acupuncture (针灸) are two other important kinds of TCM. Chinese massage can make you relaxed and fresh. Acupuncture takes away pain, though the look is funny.

【2】 The earliest medical classic in China, Huangdi’s Classic on Medicine, came out more than 2, 000 years ago. The book is about the relationship between man and nature. In Chinese culture, yin and yang are the two parts of nature. Nature keeps balanced if yin and yang work well together. The human body needs such a balance, too. TCM helps to do that. Quite specially, for some health problems, a doctor of TCM will not give you medicine. 【3】 For example, it is common to eat on the way to school, at our desk, or in front of the TV. But TCM thinks it’s wrong. Here are the correct ways. Sit down to eat. While eating, turn off the TV and get away from the work desk. Eat seasonal foods. 【4】 Also, get your body moving often, just as the saying goes, “Running water is never stale (不新鲜)”.

Nowadays, traditional Chinese medicine is becoming more and more popular around the world. A government report says that people in 183 countries and areas are now using TCM.

A．TCM is an important part of Chinese culture.

B．What happened to him?

C．Instead, he may give you just a food plan and right ways to eat.

D．Do not miss any of the three meals.

E．You can do some exercise such as swimming and jogging.

Who is the greatest teacher in Chinese history? Many people would think of Confucius, whose birthday was September 28. Although he lived over 2,000 years ago, people still remember and respect him for his contribution to the education today.

Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3.

Today, people still follow Confucius’ lessons. He told us that we all have something worthy to be learned. “When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them.” “All study but no thinking makes people puzzled (困惑的). All thinking but no study makes people lazy.”
