WithPart 5 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice)(Each item: 1) ABCDCDirections:Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D. Questions 49 to 53 are based on the same passage or dialog.It seems that the art of survival—or continual positive projection—in the world of popular music these days, depends very much on change. If artists fail to recreate their image over and over again—they risk facing criticisms of dullness; that they are not fashionable.This phenomenon applies especially to the female ranks. It is not enough for an artist to be beautiful and sexy. These characteristics too must be changed often, and remodeled to avoid being bogged down by a stereotype.One example of the rock "n" roll art of move and change is Madonna, a brilliant illustration of the trend. Her latest disc (光盘), "Something to Remember", showcases (陈列) her wonderful popular songs and how she has so effectively been able to stay at the top without diminishing (降低) credibility (信誉) in her particular field. (For these purposes, we will forget her unworthy play about sex and that horrible book.)This collection demonstrates how she has toned down her image at relevant (相关的) times to give contrast and definition to her career. But it offers more than simply a study in rock fashion history. There is also a solid assortment (混合物) of quality music.It opens with the newest "I Want You with Massive Attack", a faintly sad and moody song which quickly moves back in time to her earlier songs: "Crazy for You", "This Used to Be My Playground" and "You'll See". There is also a nice version of "Love Don't Live Here Anymore". So this is more than an exploitative (利用的) offering.49.
