(2019·陕西部分学校第一学期摸底)Thomas Hardy, probably the most searching and knowledgeable novelist of his time, was born on June 2, 1840, in Dorsetshire, England. He died on January 11, 1928. In his youth, Hardy read much and dreamt of becoming a poet, but he studied and practiced architecture as an assistant to a London architect, winning a prize for design. The fine descriptions of structure in his novels were probably somewhat due to his architectural training.
For five years Hardy worked hard to practice writing poetry, but when he was twenty-seven, he turned to fiction. His first novel was
finished by 1867, but according to the advice of George Meredith he decided not to publish it. After he abandoned his first novel, his another novel Desperate Remedies, appeared in 1871. During the next twenty-five years he published ten more novels and two collections of short stories.
Under the Greenwood Tree(1872) was never surpassed(超越) in happy and delicate perfection of art. This and his next novel, A Pair of Blue Eyes(1873), began to show deep irony(讽刺) which is so obvious throughout Hardy’s writings.
Far from the Madding Crowd(1874) was his first popular success. It shows Hardy’s amazing power of describing nature as symbolic background for his characters, an organic part of the action of his story. This was the earliest of what he called his novels of character and environment, which included The Return of the Native, Tess of the d’Urbervilles, his masterpiece, and Jude the Obscure. Not until he was fifty-eight years old was his first collection of poems published, and he was sixty-four when the first part of his drama The Dynasts surprised the literary world.

(2019·昆明高三调研)A study of 500，000 songs released(发行) in the U．K. between 1985 and 2015 showed that pop music had decreased in happiness and increased in sadness.
In a report published in the journal Royal Society Open Science,
researchers at the University of California examined hundreds of thousands of songs and classified them by their mood. “‘Happiness’ is going down,‘sadness’ is going up, and at the same time, the songs are becoming more ‘danceable’ and more ‘party-like’，” co-author Natalia L. Komarova told The Associated Press.
The study found songs in 2014 like Stay With Me by Sam Smith, Whispers by Passenger and Unmissable by Gorgon City have a “low happiness” trend. However, tracks from 1984 like Glory Days by Bruce Springsteen, Would I Lie To You? by Eurythmics and Freedom by Wham had a “high happiness” trend. “The public seems to prefer happier songs, even though more and more unhappy songs are being released each year，” the researchers wrote.
Apart from the emotional trends, researchers discovered that dances and pop were the most
successful styles of music and that there was a “clear downward” trend, with the popularity of rock beginning in the early 2000s. “So it looks like, while the overall mood is becoming less happy, people seem to want to forget it all and dance，” Komarova wrote in an email.
It was also found that the “maleness” of songs—the frequency of male singers in popular music—had decreased during the last 30 years. “Successful songs are characterised by a larger percentage of female artists compared to all songs，” they wrote.
This discovery appears at a time when the conversation around sex equality in the music industry is at its height, with more male artists and songwriters.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了流行音乐表达的情绪的变化趋势。 5．The researchers examined lots of songs to ________. A．find songs for dances and parties B．choose songs for a journal C．release more songs D．know better about songs

6．Whose music style tends to bring you more happiness? A．Natalia L. Komarova’s. B．Sam Smith’s. C．Gorgon City’s. D．Bruce Springsteen’s.
D 解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“However, tracks from 1984 like Glory Days by Bruce Springsteen...had a ‘high happiness’ trend．”可知D项正确。Natalia L. Komarova为报道的合著者，而非歌手；Sam Smith、Gorgon City所演唱的歌曲有让人开心感降低的趋势，故排除。
7．What do we know about songs over the past three decades? A．Rock became popular in the early 2000s. B．Fewer unhappy songs came to light every year. C．Male singers were better at performing pop music. D．Female artists were less skilled in writing songs.
A 解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“with the popularity of rock beginning in the early 2000s”可知，摇滚乐在21世纪初开始流行，故A项正确。其余三个选项的内容均与文意不符。
8．What can be a suitable title for the text?
A．Pop Music Is Getting Sadder B．Music Calls for Sex Equality C．Pop Music Has a Long History D．Music Industry Is Going Down
A 解析：标题归纳题。根据文章首段总述及后续段落的描述可知，全文重点介绍了流行音乐正变得越来越伤感，故选A项。B项仅是文章中提到的一个细节；C项不是文章的重点；D项扩大外延，属过度概括，故排除。
