分析 文章大意:本文講的是西城男孩及他們的音樂成就,并且談到了中國的歌迷在2006年看他們在北京舉辦的演唱會的情況.
解答 56.C 細(xì)節(jié)題.從第二段Westlife is an Irish boy band group可知他們是一個愛爾蘭(Irish)音樂組合,故選C.
57.A 細(xì)節(jié)題.我們可以從第二段which was made up of 6 boys in the beginning知道開始有6個男孩子,從下文2006 in Beijing.Although the four-member group可知變成了4個成員,故選A.
58.D 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)第二段,Chinese fans got their first chance to see Westlife on March 6th,2006 in Beijing可知中國歌迷得到第一個與西城見面的機會,故D正確.
59.A 細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)第二段The group quickly became popular with young people thanks to their song Swear It Again,which was at the top of the UK charts (排行榜) in April 1999.Swear It Again出現(xiàn)在1999年,而此專輯是在北京2006年才發(fā)行的,故A明顯錯誤.
60.B 細(xì)節(jié)題.從第三段the album's most popular song You Raise Me Up mixes traditional Irish music with pop music可知西城的音樂以流行樂為主,后面講到hip-hop但他們都不會改變風(fēng)格.而C,D并沒有提到.選B.
