He was 81. He died of natural causes at home in Sandy Springs, Georgia. During his six-decade career, the popular singer sold more than 100 million albums worldwide, won three Grammy Awards and was given a place in the Country Music Hall of Fame. (76) He also published several photography books, donated time and money to noble causes, appeared in a number of made-for-television movies and launched a restaurant chain. Kenneth Donald Rogers was born in Houston on Aug, 21, 1938. The fourth of Edward and Lucilles eight children, Rogers grew up in a government housing project. He was the first person in his family to receive a high school diploma. As early as elementary school, I began to see music and singing as a relief from all the awkwardness and embarrassment of growing up poor, shy and often an outsider. Rogers wrote in his 2012 book, Luck or Something Like It: A Memoir. He entered his first talent contest when he was 10. His version of Lovesick Blues won him the grand prize: a half-gallon of ice cream and a meeting with a country music star. In high school, he formed a vocal group called the Scholars. They recorded a few forgettable songs, then went their separate ways. As a solo artist, Kenneth Rogers recorded a song called That Crazy Feeling, which was released to the public. In 1959, jazz pianist Bobby Doyle heard Rogers play at a club and asked him to join the Bobby Doyle Three as a bassist (贝斯手) and harmony singer. Rogers wasnt a bass player but signed on anyway. The group disbanded (解散) in the mid-1960s. By then, Rogers had learned how to be a musician from Bobby Doyle, as he wrote half a century later. 1. From the passage we learn that Kenny Rogers was born in the _A.early 1960sB.late 1930sC.early 1950sD.late 1940s答案:B解析 第三段第一句“Kenneth Donald Rogers was born in Houston on Aug. 21, 1938.”。 本文讲述了乡村音乐明星肯尼罗杰斯的生平履历，并着重介绍了他的音乐才华。 参考译文 乡村音乐明星肯尼罗杰斯于周五晚去世，他因经典歌曲赌城和溪中之岛而闻名。他已经81岁了。他在佐治亚州桑迪泉的家中自然死亡。 在他60年的音乐生涯中，这位流行歌手的专辑全球销量超过1亿张，获得了三次格莱美奖，并在乡村音乐名人堂中占有一席之地。他还出版了好几本摄影方面的书，为高尚事业贡献了时间和金钱，出演了许多电视电影，还开了一家连锁餐厅。 肯尼斯唐纳德罗杰斯于1938年8月21日出生于休斯敦。罗杰斯在爱德华和露西尔的八个孩子中排行第四，在政府提供的住房中长大。他是他家里第一个获得高中文凭的人。 罗杰斯在2012年出版的运气或类似的东西：回忆录一书中写道：“早在上小学时，我就开始把音乐和唱歌视为一种解脱，摆脱在成长过程中的贫穷、害羞和常常是局外人的所有尴尬与难堪。”他10岁时第一次参加了才艺比赛。他翻唱的相思布鲁斯为他赢得了大奖：半加仑冰激凌和一次与一位乡村音乐明星的会面。 高中时，他组建了一个叫作“学者”的乐队。他们录制了一些令人难忘的歌曲，然后分道扬镳。作为一名独唱艺术家，肯尼斯罗杰斯录制了一首名为疯狂的感觉的歌曲，并向公众发行。 1959年，爵士钢琴家鲍比道尔在一家俱乐部听了罗杰斯的演奏，邀请他加入鲍比道尔三人乐团，担任贝斯手和和声歌手。罗杰斯不是贝斯手，但还是签约了。该团体于20世纪60年代中期解散。正如罗杰斯在半个世纪后写道的那样，那时他已经“从鲍比道尔那里学会了如何成为一名音乐家”。 细节判断题。文章第三段第一句提到“肯尼斯唐纳德罗杰斯于1938年8月21日出生于休斯敦”，因此我们得知肯尼斯唐纳德-罗杰斯出生于20世纪30年代末期，即“in the late 1930s”。故选B。 2. According to the passage, _ is one of Kenny Rogers best remembered songs.A.The GamblerB.That Crazy FeelingC.Lovesick BluesD.Luck or Something Like It: A Memoir答案:A解析 第一段第一句“Country music star Kenny Rogers, known for classics like The Gambler and Islands in the Stream, died Friday night.” 细节判断题，文章第一段第一句提到“乡村音乐明星肯尼罗杰斯于周五晚去世，他因经典歌曲赌城和溪中之岛而闻名”。由此我们得知肯尼罗杰斯最令人难忘的歌曲是“The Gambler”and“Islands in the Stream”。选项中只有A项符合，故选A。 3. The word version in Paragraph 4 is probably closest in meaning to _.A.translatingB.readingC.singingD.dancing答案:C解析 第四段最后一句“His version of Lovesick Blues won him the grand prize: a half-gallon of ice cream and a meeting with a country music star.” 词汇理解题。文章第四段最后一句提到“他翻唱的相思布鲁斯为他赢得了大奖：半加仑冰激凌和一次与一位乡村音乐明星的会面”。此处的“version”本义为“版本”，相思布鲁斯为一首歌曲，原句直译为“他的相思布鲁斯的版本”，意思就是“他翻唱的相思布鲁斯”，即“version”等同于singing“歌唱”，故选C。A项translating意为“翻译”；B项reading意为“阅读”；D项dancing意为“跳舞”，均不符合句意。 4. According to the passage, Kenny Rogers _.A.came from a rich familyB.was very confidentC.didnt finish high schoolD.wasnt a bass player答案:D解析 最后一段第二句“Rogers wasnt a bass player but signed on anyway.” 细节判断题。文章最后一段第二句提到“罗杰斯不是贝斯手，但还是签约了”。由此可知D项表述正确，故选D。其他选项均与原文不符。第三段第二句提到“罗杰斯在爱德华和露西尔的八个孩子中排行第四，在政府提供的住房中长大”，可知罗杰斯家并不富裕，排除A项；第三段最后一句提到“他是他家里第一个获得高中文凭的人”，可知罗杰斯完成了高中学业，排除C项；第四段第一句提到“早在上小学时，我就开始把音乐和唱歌视为一种解脱，摆脱在成长过程中的贫穷、害羞和常常是局外人的所有尴尬与难堪”，可知罗杰斯曾经很自卑，并不自信，排除B项。 5. Which of the following contributes the most to his success as a country music star? _A.The government housing project that he grew up in.B.The first talent contest that he took part in.C.The association with Bobby Doyle.D.The restaurant chain that he launched.答案:C解析 最
