That's because this music was invented in the UK in the early 2000s.‎ To someone who's not familiar with underground music culture, it's easy to get confused between hiphop and grime since they are both noisy. And many people didn't bother to tell them apart, until earlier this month when grime stars like Stormzy and J Hus led this year's MOBO Awards — “Music of Black Origin” — nominations (提名) in the UK.‎ Just like UK electronic music and hiphop, from which grime drew influence, it mostly reflects the thoughts of young people. But different from hiphop, grime singers sing in dialects with strong accents, giving a special flavor to their songs.‎ Lady Leshurr, known as the “Queen of Grime”， said that she once tried to hide her accent, as she didn't want people to judge her. But one day, she realized that she didn't need to change herself just to please others. And there's no doubt that this is the most basic and important quality of grime music: be yourself.‎ Also different from the hiphop culture, which usually focuses on being rich, grime singers pay more attention to social phenomena like the European refugee problem and the gap between the rich and poor.‎ Although still quite young, grime seems to be getting favored by more and more people. In 2016, the English grime artist Skepta won the Mercury Prize with his album Konnichiwa, beating big names like David Bowie and Radiohead. However, no matter whether grime is one day accepted by the mainstream music world or not, one thing is for sure: in grime, singers always stay true to themselves.‎ 语篇解读：本文主要介绍了英国的grime音乐。‎ ‎1．What do hiphop and grime music have in common?‎ A．They are originated in the UK.‎ B．They make a lot of loud noise.‎ C．They challenge traditional culture.‎ D．They are full of creative ideas.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“it's easy to get confused between hiphop and grime since they are both noisy”可知，人们很容易把hiphop和grime音乐弄混，因为它们都很吵，故hiphop和grime音乐的共同之处在于它们的声音都很大，故选B项。‎ ‎2．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?‎ A．Electronic music.　　　　 B．Hiphop.‎ C．Grime music. D．Black music.‎ 解析：选C　代词指代题。根据第三段中的画线词所在句及“But different from hiphop, grime singers sing in dialects with strong accents, giving a special flavor to their songs”可知，与hiphop不同，grime歌手用带有浓重口音的方言演唱，赋予了他们的歌曲一种特殊的韵味，因此画线词it指的就是grime音乐，故选C项。‎ ‎3．What can be learned about grime singers?‎ A．They care too much about themselves.‎ B．They refuse to be judged by others.‎ C．They tend to take social responsibility.‎ D．They show strong independence qualities.‎ 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第五段中的“grime singers pay more attention to social phenomena like the European refugee problem and the gap between the rich and poor”可知，grime歌手更多地关注社会现象，比如欧洲的难民问题、贫富差距。因此grime歌手承担了社会责任，故选C项。‎ ‎4．What does Skepta's success suggest?‎ A．Grime is gradually getting recognized.‎ B．Singers should try to be themselves.‎ C．Grime has become mainstream music.‎ D．It is easy to win the Mercury Prize.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Although still quite young, grime seems to be getting favored by more and more people.”可知，尽管grime音乐诞生时间不长，但它正在受到越来越多的人的认可与支持，grime歌手Skepta的成功证明了这一点，故选A项。‎ B ‎(2019·成都市诊断性检测)Many years ago in a zoo, I was shocked by finding that chimpanzees (黑猩猩) could behave in a more civil manner than youths while youths could behave worse than them. Great apes (类人猿) are always one of the favourite attractions in any zoo. The main reason for this is that they are so similar to us.‎ This similarity has persuaded a group called the Great Ape Project (GAP) to campaign for these animals to be afforded “human rights”．‎ This has resulted in legislation in New Zealand, which could mean that great apes would become the first animals in the world with basic rights protected by the law.‎ Not everybody is happy with this idea, however. Scientists using animals for scientific research fear that this is just the first stage in a process that will lead to a ban on using all animals for research.‎ The GAP declaration claims great apes should have “human rights” due to scientific evidence about their abilities. But if we compare the abilities of humans and great apes, then why not the abilities of great apes and monkeys, monkeys and lemurs, and so on until insects are granted “human rights”？ This is not foolish. There are people without fundamental human rights. How long ago, for example, did women not have the right to vote?‎ Yet another argument by those who don't support GAP is that the humanlike qualities of the great apes have been exaggerated for certain reasons, and that this has led people to exaggerate the similarities but ignore the differences between humans and other great apes.‎ In a fascinating article entitled “What It Means to Be 98% Chimpanzee: Apes, People, and Their Genes”， Jonathan Marks points out that, although a human and a daffodil (水仙花) share common ancestry and their DNA matches more than 25% of the time, it is plainly ridiculous to claim that we are onequarter daffodils.‎ He goes on to demonstrate that, if looked at from one angle, it is true that we are phylogenetically (动植物演化史) apes, but also fish from phylogenetically another angle！“Doesn't sound quite so profound now, does it？”‎ 语篇解读：本文主要讨论了类人猿是否应该有人权的话题。‎ ‎5．What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?‎ A．The experience was unforgettable.‎ B．Chimpanzees are similar to humans.‎ C．Great apes are very popular in the zoo.‎ D．Animals could behave better than humans.‎ 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第一段内容，尤其是最后一句“The main reason for this is that they are so similar to us.”可推知，本段主要讲的是黑猩猩和人类的相似性，故选B。‎ ‎6．Which of the following would the Great Ape Project most probably agree with?‎ A．Animals should be free from any scientific research.‎ B．New Zealand should do more to protect the rights of great apes.‎ C．The differences between humans and great apes have been ignored.‎ D．Great apes have adequate characteristics to be included as our equals.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据第二段的内容可知，由于类人猿和人类很相似，由此可以获得类似于人的同等权利，故选D。‎ ‎7．How does the author develop his idea mainly in Paragraph 5?‎ A．By reasoning.‎ B．By giving examples.‎ C．By making a comparison.‎ D．By providing scientific evidence.‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。第五段的内容对GAP组织的观点进行了理论上的批驳，属于论证的方法，故选A。‎ ‎8．What point does Jonathan Marks try to make in his article?‎ A．Humans are more than onequarter daffodils.‎ B．Great apes and fish are phylogenetically similar.‎ C．Humans are as similar to fish as they are to great apes.‎ D．Being 98% genetically identical matters less than thought.‎ 解析：选D　推理判断题。根据最后两段的内容可知，只从生物的相似性就判断其属性相同是一种可笑的推断，人与其他动植物的最大差异还是在于其思想性，故选D。‎
