四、阅读理解
(越秀区期末)Many teenagers like listening to music in their spare time. Can you imagine that a 15-year-old girl has attracted nearly 1.7 million music followers on China’s leading video-sharing platform Bilibili and made national headlines?
Zhang Yuxuan, who is better known as Vicky Xuanxuan on social media, can turn many things into melody in her music world—a box of candies, pens and glass bottles. She records the sounds around her and mixes them into songs.
Yuxuan’s most popular clip—the release of her English song She—has been viewed more than 14 million times and received over 1 million thumbs-up emoji on Bilibili.
“In the clip, I tried to let viewers know how the song was created,” says Yuxuan, who lives in Shenzhen.
The six-minute video tells how a melody coming to the schoolgirl’s mind is developed into a beautiful song in half an hour. She records playing the guitar on Apple’s music-making app Garage Band, and then mixes vocals and backing tracks.
Talking about her inspiration for She, Yuxuan says, “I really appreciate the heroine’s confidence and independence in a very famous movie. Women like that are so attractive.”
The song has amazed people. A Bilibili user says it is a song that you cannot stop playing time and time again. The video has forced many to reflet on their own productivity, as another user posts:“A student in junior middle school can create a song in half an hour, but I, a college student, can only finish my deal in half an hour.” On Yuxuan’s web page, she has over 120,000 subscribers. A subscriber named Carolyn Davidson comments: “I’m 71 years old and it definitely healed my heart.”
Just like Zhang Yuxuan, we all have dreams. Let’s hold on to them and try our best to achieve them.
1. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Introducing a girl named Zhang Yuxuan.
B. Telling readers many young people like music.
C. Giving some information about the Bilibili platform.
D. Telling readers some things about the national headline.
2. Which of the following best explains the underlined sentence in the passage?
A. It tells readers about Yuxuan’s hobbies.
B. It gives the reason for creating the song.
C. It describes Yuxuan’s character in daily life.
D. It shows how the song was successfully created.
3. What can we learn from the girl’s story?
A. Internet can make people famous easily.
B. We all need to dream, even in the daytime.
C. Don’t give up until you realize your dream.
D. Songs from young people can attract people of all ages.
