It's OK to say you've never heard of Grime-unless you're from the UK. That's because this music type 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 hip-hop 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 led this year's MOBO Awards-Music of Black Origin-nomination(提名)in the UK.
Just like UK electronic music and hip-hop,by which Grime was influenced,it mostly reflects the thoughts of young people. But different from hip-hop,Grime singers sing in dialects with strong accents,giving a special flavour to their songs.
Lady Leshurr,known as the "Grime Queen",said that she once tried to hide her accent,as she didn't want people to judge her. But one day,she realised 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 hip-hop culture,which usually focuses on being rich,Grime singers pay more attention to social phenomena like Europe's refugee problem and the gap between the rich and the poor.
Although still quite young,Grime seems to be getting favoured 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.
1.What do hip-hop and Grime music have in common?
A. They are born in the UK.
B. They make a lot of loud noise.
C. They challenge traditional cultures.
D. They are full of creative ideas.
2. What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to
A. Electronic music.
B. Hip-hop.
C. Grime music.
D. Black music.
3. What can be learnt about Grime singers
A. They care too much about themselves.
B. They refuse to be judged by others.
C. They tend to care about social problems.
D. They show strong independence qualities.
4. What does Skepta's success suggest
A. Grime is gradually getting recognised.
B. Singers should try to be themselves.
C. Grime has become mainstream music.
D. It is easy to win the Mercury Prize.

[湖北天门2020高一月考]It's a warm summer afternoon. You're cooking up the catch of the day over a campfire. Suddenly,a few raindrops fall on your arms,and before you know it,the sky opens up. Then you hear what sounds like thunder in the distance. What should you do?Your tent is close by and would offer shelter(庇护)from the pouring rain. There's a campsite shelter a few minutes down the path. And then you remember that your car is parked down the road. Which's your safest choice to make sure you and your family are safe?
It's a common question for many hikers and campers,especially when they're camping during summer months.
Heading to your car is almost always the safest choice. On the one hand,your tent and a campsite shelter will keep you dry,but they offer little or no protection against lightning. Your car,on the other hand,will keep you dry and protect you from lightning strikes. Protecting yourself against possible lightning strikes is very important;lightning kills an average of 62 people in the US each year. If you keep all of the windows and doors closed in your car,you'll be able to return to your campsite safely.
Of course,if you're backpacking(背包旅行),not car camping,and you're deep in the woods,your car won't be a good choice. So,what should you do if your car is far away and there's no other safe shelter nearby?
First,you'll have to make sure that tree branches or other objects don't fall on you or your campsite. Then you'll have to get in a safe position to avoid lightning,or flash floods.
1.To avoid lightning in a storm,what are you supposed to do?
A. Go into your tent quickly.
B. Cook up the catch of the day over a campfire.
C. Run into a campsite shelter at once.
D. Get into your car and return to your campsite later.
2.What can we learn from Paragraph 2?
A. Young people like backpacking best.
B. Lightning is dangerous for campers.
C. Car camping is a good choice in the deep woods.
D. Camping during summer is the most popular.
3.What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. It is important to learn to protect yourself when camping.
B. Backpacking is not a good choice for campers.
C. People should never camp deep in the woods.
D. People should not go camping alone.
4. What is the passage mainly about
A. What's camping.
B. How to avoid safely a storm when camping.
C. How to travel safely.
D. Car camping and backpacking.

[江苏东台2020高一期中]Before there was the written word,there was the language of dance. Dance expresses love and hate,joy and sorrow,life and death,and everything else in between.
1 We dance from Florida to Alaska,from north to south and sea to sea. We dance at weddings,birthdays,office parties and just to fill the time.
“I adore dancing,”says Lester Bridges,the owner of a dance studio in Iowa. “I can't imagine what else I can do in my life.” Bridges runs dance classes for all ages. "Teaching dance is wonderful.2 It's great to watch them. For many of them,it's a way of meeting people and having a social life."
3“I can tell you about one young couple,"says Bridges. "They're learning to do traditional dances. They arrive at the class in low spirits and they leave with a smile.4”
So,do we dance in order to make ourselves feel better,calmer and healthier?Andrea Hillier says,“Dance,like the pattern of a beating heart,is life. Even after all these years,I want to get better and better.5 I find it hard to stop!Dancing reminds me I'm alive.”
A. So why do we dance?
B. Dance in the US is everywhere.
C. If you like dancing outdoors,come to America.
D. My older students say it makes them feel young.
E.I keep practising even when I'm extremely tired.
F. Dancing seems to change their feelings completely.
G. They stayed up all night long singing and dancing.
