Ⅰ.阅读下面的短文,从每题所给的选项中选出最佳选项
Music is different from songs. Songs express feelings with lyrics, but music with tones(音调). Unlike songs, music tones in themselves have no specific meanings. Different people may get different things from the same musical performance. Though some music works are difficult to understand, people need music in their daily life because it brings fun to them. Different people like different music: some love classical music, and others take pleasure in pop music. Most young people like pop music.
Pop music began in the USA and became popular around the world during the 1950s and 1960s. The best known early kind of pop music was "rock and roll". Pop music has taken the place of native music in many parts of the world. It has caused the number of people for "jazz" music to become much smaller than in the 1950s and earlier and it has now begun to become the most popular. Much pop music is without artistic value, but the works of some pop singers such as the Beatles, Bob Dylan, the groups like Pink Floyd and Crosby are excellent. And there is still great interest in it today. Pop music concerts and festivals are held all over the world.

答案： 【解析】：
1.第一题在文章第一段第二句“Songs express feelings with lyrics, but music with tones(音调).”提到歌曲用歌词表达情感，而音乐用音调，所以音乐和歌曲最大的区别在于歌词和音调，选择B。
2.第二题由文章第二段“It has caused the number of people for "jazz" music to become much smaller than in the 1950s and earlier...”可知在20世纪50年代及更早时候喜欢爵士乐的人数比现在多得多，所以20世纪50年代及更早时候喜欢爵士乐的人数比现在多，即the number of people for jazz in the 1950s and earlier was much greater than it is today，选择A。
3.第三题从“The best known early kind of pop music was 'rock and roll'.”可知“rock and roll”是流行音乐早期的一种类型，所以“kind”在这里是“类型”的意思，与“type”同义，选择A。
4. 第四题依据文章第二段“...it has now begun to become the most popular”，这里的“it”指代前面提到的“Pop music”，所以现在最受欢迎的是流行音乐，选择C。
5. 第五题由文章最后一段“Much pop music is without artistic value...”可知很多流行音乐没有艺术价值，所以选项D中“Much pop music is of great artistic value”的说法错误，选择D。
