It has always been difficult for me to decide whether "popular music" means music written for the people or is simply music that the people like. The same
problem of definition   67   with jazz. So many different   68   of "music have been called jazz at one time or another that it is  69  to say what it really is.
Jazz has always been   70   to be black music but when I first  71  an interest in it, I used to hear white bands playing music that was like Louis Armstrong's in
the 1920s. I found out  72  that they learnt to do this by playing his records  73  until their style was close enough to his for them to  74  him.
Since then white singers   75   Bob Dylan have rediscovered their own folk  76  , instead of borrowing from black roots. But the main changes  77   1960 have been social and technical. One is that young people have more money to spend on  78  at an earlier age than they   79  , so Tin Pan Alley, the  "pop" music industry,   80   at teenage audience.   81  is that electronic equipment has developed to such an   82 that technicians are now capable of mixing sound to produce recordings that are quite different from a  83 performance.
But the real problem with "pop" music is that Tin Pan Alley has always worked against its being a  84  music of the people. It   85   everything original and natural out of it and   86   it with cheap commercial imitations. As the American folk singer, Woody Guthrie, said: "They've always preferred the second rate songs. They've never wanted to play the good ones. "

James Cameron: Earth's Deepest Spot Desolate, Foreboding
“The last frontier on Earth is out—of-this—world，desolate(荒芜的)，foreboding(有不祥预感的)，and moon—like", James Cameron said after diving to the deepest part of the ocean.
And he loved it.
"My feeling was one of complete isolation from all of humanity," Cameron said Monday, shortly after returning from the strange cold dark place 7 miles below the western Pacific Ocean that only two men have been to. "I felt like I literally, in the space of one day, had gone to another planet and come back. It' s been a very surreal day. "Cameron, whose imagination of alien worlds yielded the blockbuster ( 大片 ) movie Avatar, said there was one thing he promised to himself: He wanted to drink in how unusual it is.
He didn't do that when he first dove to the watery grave of the Titanic, and Apollo astronauts have said they never had time to savor ( 品尝)where they were.
"There had to be a moment where I just stopped, and took it in, and said, 'This is where I am; I'm at the bottom of the ocean, the deepest place on Earth. What does that mean?'" Cameron told reporters during a Monday conference call after spending three hours at the bottom of the Mariana Trench, nearly 7 miles down.
"I just sat there looking out the window, looking at this barren (贫瘠的 ), desolate lunar plain, appreciating,"
Cameron said.
He also realized how alone he was, with that much water above him.
"It's really the sense of isolation, more than anything, realizing how tiny you are down in this big vast black unknown and unexplored place," Cameron said.
Cameron said he had hoped to see a strange deep sea monster like a creature that would excite the storyteller in him and seem like out of his movies, but he didn't.
He didn't see tracks of small primitive sea animals on the ocean floor as he did when he dove more than 5 miles deep weeks ago. All he saw were voracious (贪吃的) shrimp-like critters that weren't bigger than an inch.
In future missions, Cameron plans to bring "bait"--like chicken---to set out.
Cameron said the mission was all about exploration, science and discovery. He is the only person to dive there solo, using a sub (潜水艇) he helped design. He is the first person to reach that depth-- 35,576 feet – since it was initially explored in 1960.
There had been race to the bottom among rich and famous adventurers. Sir Richard Branson of Virgin Industries has been building his own one-man sub to explore the depths of the ocean. Branson told the Associated Press that Cameron's dive was "a fantastic achievement. "
Branson said he hoped to explore a different deep place first now, instead of the Mariana Trench. He planned later this year to dive to the deepest part of the Atlantic, the Puerto Rican trench, which is only five miles from his home. That area is just of six miles deep and has not been explored yet.
Branson said he hopes to take his one-man sub and join Cameron in a tandem(一前一后的)dive of solo subs: "Together, we'll make a formidable team. "
Cameron spent more than three hours at the bottom, longer than the 20 minutes Don Walsh and Jacques Piccard spent in the only other visit 52 years ago. But his time there was shorter than the six hours he had hoped for and he didn't reach the trench walls, because he was running low on power. He said he would return, as would the sub's Australian co-designer, Ran Allure.
"I see this as the beginning," Cameron said. "It's not a one-time deal and then moving on. This is the beginning of opening up this new frontier. "
"To me, the story is in the people in their quest and curiosity and their attempt to understand," Cameron said.
He spent time filming the Mariana Trench, which is about 200 miles southwest of the Pacific island of Guam.
The trip down to the deepest point took two hours and 36 minutes.
His return aboard his 12-ton, lime-green(浅黄绿色的)sub called Deepsea Challenger was a "faster-than-expected 70-minute ascent," according to National Geographic, which sponsored the expedition. Cameron is a National Geographic explorer-in-residence.
The only thing that went wrong was the hydraulics(液压装置on the system to collect rocks and critters to bring them back’to land. Just as he was about to collect his first sample, a leak in the hydraulic fluid sprayed into the water and he couldn't bring anything back.
When Cameron climbed into his sub, it was warm because it was near the equator and his cramped ( 狭窄 ) vehicle--his head hit one end and his feet the other--was toasty ( 温暖舒适的) because of the heat given off by electronics. It felt "like a sauna (桑拿浴)" with temperatures of more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit, he said.
But as he plunged into the deep, the temperature outside the sub dropped to around 36 degrees Fahrenheit, he said.
The pressure on the sub was immense--comparable to three SUVs resting on a toe. The super-strong sub shrank three inches under that pressure, Cameron said.
"It's a very weird environment," Cameron said. "I can't say it's very comfortable. And you can't stretch out. "

According to this passage, the blockbuster movie Avatar was __________.
A．inspired by Cameron's trip to the Earth's deepest spot
B．the result of Cameron's imagination of alien worlds
C．inspired by Cameron's dive to the watery grave of the Titanic
D．the result of Cameron's extensive reading

5. Questions48-12are based on the following passage.
Good sense is the most equitably distributed thing in the world, for each man considers himself so well provided with it that even those who are most difficult to 47 in everything else do not usually wish to have more of it than they have already.
It is not likely that everyone is 48 in this. It shows, rather, that the ability to judge rightly and separate the true from the false, which is essentially what is called good sense or 49 , is by nature equal in all men; and thus that our opinions differ not because some men are better 50 with reason than others, but only because we direct our thoughts along different paths, and do not consider the same things. For it is not enough to have a good mind; what is most important is to 51 it rightly.
The greatest souls are capable of the greatest vices; and those who walk very slowly can 52 much further, if they always keep to the direct road, than those who run and go astray.
For my part, I have never 53 my mind to be more perfect than average in any way; I have, in fact, often wished that my thoughts were as quick, or my imagination as precise and distinct, or my 54 as capacious or prompt, as those of some other
men. And I know of no other qualities than these which make for the 55 of the mind; for as to reason, or good sense, in as much as it alone makes us men and distinguishes us from the beasts, I am quite willing to believe that it is whole and entire in
each of us, and to follow in the common 56 of the philosophers who say that there are differences of more or less only among the accidents, and not among the forms, or natures, of the individuals of a single species.
