Country music is a kind of modern-day pop music, originated (起源) in the southern United States and Appalachia mountains. The singers usually play the guitar, and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars. Nowadays people use the violin, banjo, and slide-guitar as well.

The music at the very beginning was generally very smooth, beautiful and the phrasing structure (句法結(jié)構(gòu)) also was simple. In the 1950s, American country music was about other things, for example, love and money. In the 1960s, songs were often full of anger, and some of them made fun of the political (政治的) leaders. During the 1990s, American country music became more and more popular. Song writers were no longer writing about the modern values of the USA—money, success or expensive things to buy. Instead they were writing once more about things that were usual for everyone.

Today country music has become a big business. It brings in a lot of money. Now, it has reached all parts of the States, from Los Angeles in the west to New York in the east. It remains much the same as before. One subject is “the good old days”. In “the good old days” people praised each other. They believed that the best things in life were free: sunshine, laughing, walks in the beauty of the country, friends and music.

試題分析：短文大意：鄉(xiāng)村音樂是一種當代的流行音樂，起源于美國南部的阿巴拉契亞山脈。這些歌手通常彈吉他，在20世紀20年代他們開始使用電吉他�，F(xiàn)在人們使用的小提琴、班卓琴、吉他等。在不同的時代鄉(xiāng)村音樂有不同的主題。

【1】根據(jù)右欄guitars, violins, banjos, and slide-guitars的描述可知此處該填寫名詞Instruments，樂器。

【2】根據(jù)右欄描述可知這里是說不同時代的鄉(xiāng)村音樂的主題，所以填寫times，時代。

【3】根據(jù)第二段中In the 1950s, American country music was about other things, for example, love and money.可知在20世紀50年代，美國鄉(xiāng)村音樂是關(guān)于其他的事情，例如、愛和金錢德爾。所以填寫falling。

【4】根據(jù)第二段中In the 1960s, songs were often full of anger, and some of them made fun of the political (政治的) leaders. 可知在上世紀60年代，歌曲里充滿了憤怒，他們中的一些人取笑政治領(lǐng)導人。所以填寫jokes/tricks。

【5】根據(jù)最后一段中It remains much the same as before. One subject is “the good old days”. In “the good old days” people praised each other. They believed that the best things in life were free: sunshine, laughing, walks in the beauty of the country, friends and music.可知它與以前一樣多。一個主題是“美好的舊時光”。在“美好的舊時光”，人們稱贊對方。他們認為生活中最好的東西是免費的：陽光，笑，在美麗的鄉(xiāng)下散步，朋友和音樂。所以填寫open。
