PINK FLOYD : PINK<br />A. Ozzy Osbounre : Mr.Crowley<br />B. Savatage : D.T.Jesus<br />C. Iron Maiden : Eddie<br />D. Venom : Satan<br />E. Extreme : Martin Luther King<br /><br />3. STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN<br />A. Goodbye To Romance(by Ozzy Osbounre)<br />B. Welcome To The Jungle(by Guns N’ Roses)<br />C. Highway To Hell(by AC/DC)<br />D. Burn In Hell(by Judas Priest)<br /><br />4. KING DIAMOND : MERCYFUL FATE<br />A. Bruce Dickenson : Iron Maiden<br />B. Rob Halford : Judas Priest<br />C. Ozzy Osbourne : Black Sabbath<br />D. Axl. Rose : Guns N’ Roses<br />E. Steven Tyler : Aerosmith<br /><br />Question5-7 are based on the passage below:<br /><br />L1 Motley Crue parted ways with Elektra in the spring of 1998, <br />releasing their second compilation, Greatest Hits, on their own <br />label that fall. Weighing in at 17 tracks, including two pedestrian <br />new songs, Greatest Hits duplicates much of Decade of Decadence <br />L5 featuring no less than eight songs - &quot;Looks That Kill,&quot; &quot;Home <br />Sweet Home&quot; (original, not the Decade version), &quot;Smokin&#39; in the <br />Boys&#39; Room,&quot; &quot;Girls, Girls, Girls,&quot; &quot;Wild Side,&quot; &quot;Dr. Feelgood,&quot; <br />&quot;Kickstart My Heart&quot; (original, not the live version that was on <br />Decade), &quotrimal Scream&quot; - that were on the previous collection. <br />L10 Considering all that overlap, you can be forgiven for thinking that <br />the two compilations are interchangeable, but Greatest Hits actually<br />has the edge, not just because it doesn&#39;t feature the silly &quot;Anarchy<br />in the U.K.&quot; cover, but because it features a greater selection of <br />hits from their masterpiece, Dr. Feelgood, including &quot;Without You,&quot;<br />L15 &quot;Don&#39;t Go Away Mad (Just Go Away),&quot; and &quot;Same Ol&#39; Situation<br />(S.O.S.),&quot; all of which weren&#39;t on Decade. It has its flaws, to be<br />sure - the sequencing is illogical, the newer songs are lame, and <br />the original &quot;Shout at the Devil&quot; should have been featured instead<br />of the atrocious Generation Swine re-recording - but it&#39;s still the <br />L20 best overview yet assembled.<br /><br />5. Which of the following tracks is included in Greatest Hits but NOT in Decade Of Decadence ?<br />A. Dr. Feelgood<br />B. Primal Scream<br />C. Teaser<br />D. Kickstart My Heart(live version)<br />E. Home Sweet Home(original version)<br /><br />6. The author argues that Greatest Hits would be a better overview of the band if____.<br />A. fewer tracks overlapped with Decade Of Decadence<br />B. the order of the songs in the compilation rearranged more properly<br />C. more new songs featured in Greatest Hits<br />D. more tracks selected other than from the album Dr. Feelgood<br />E. the track “Shout At The Devil” excluded from the compilation<br /><br />7. The author agrees with each of the following assertions EXCEPT____.<br />A. it’s regrettable that Decade Of Decadence doesn’t include any track from the band’s masterpiece Dr. Feelgood<br />B. Greatest Hits and Decade Of Decadence share many tracks in common<br />C. The two new-featured songs in Greatest Hits are undistinguished<br />D. As an overview of the musical career of Motley Crue, Greatest Hits is a better solution than Decade Of Decadence<br />E. The original version of “Shout At The Devil” is far better than the version in Greatest Hits<br /><br />8. Iron Maiden : Paul Di’Anno<br />A. Kiss : Paul Stanley<br />B. Savatage : Zachary Stevens<br />C. Deep Purple : Rod Evans<br />D. Metallica : James Hatfield<br />E. Black Sabbath : Ozzy Osbourne<br /><br />9. During the eleven years with Black Sabbath, Ozzy&#39;s reputation as a wild man and hell raiser reached legendary proportions. But after eight studio albums and many world tours, Ozzy and Sabbath parted company when he realized that &quot;we had come to a ____ in musical direction.&quot;<br />A. crossroads<br />B. intersection<br />C. junction<br />D. crossing<br />E. concordance<br /><br />10. BOOTLEG<br />A. studio album<br />B. masterpiece<br />C. debut album<br />D. official live album<br />E. authorized release<br /><br />11. SAVATAGE : TESTAMENT<br />A. Megadeth : Metallica<br />B. Ozzy Osbourne : Quiet Roit<br />C. Skid Row : Bon Jovi<br />D. Lita Ford : The Runaways<br />E. Whitesnake : Deep Purple<br /><br />11. (由于疏忽,12. 有两个11题。这个记作11-2吧)ANTHRAX : GOT THE TIME<br />A. Metallica : Am I Evil<br />B. Guns N’ Roses : Don’t Cry<br />C. Aerosmith : Dream On<br />D. Motley Crue : Anarchy in the U.K.<br />E. Run DMC : Walk This Way<br /><br />Questions 12----17 are based on the passage below:<br /><br />L1 Most people agree that Black Sabbath is amongst the most <br />influential bands for all heavy metal in general, and Doom-<br />Metal is no exception;esp.,their Satanic lyric became a theme for later<br />Doom-metal bands.Their early albums &#39;Black Sabbath&#39;, &#39aranoid&#39;, &#39;Master <br />L5 Of Reality&#39;, &#39;Vol. 4&#39;, &#39;Sabbath Bloody Sabbath&#39;, and &#39;Sabotage&#39; <br />are all without doubt, masterpieces, and without them Doom-Metal <br />(or even metal in general) would not exist at all. While Black Sabbath <br />were definitely well ahead of their time, and as such one of a kind, <br />they certainly weren&#39;t without their contemporaries (Pentagram, <br />L10 Blue Cheer, Black Widow). Some of the earliest prototypes of <br />Doom-Metal were in fact songs of the late sixties and early seventies that, <br />whilst not wholly doomy, contained countless great riffs that came to <br />shape the sound of Doom-Metal in later years. Such songs include Iron <br />Butterfly&#39;s &#39;Inna Gadda Da Vida&#39;. <br />L15 One of Black Sabbath&#39;s main contemporaries - Pentagram-<br />can be counted as one of the earliest Doom bands around,<br />often intertwining with the band Bedemon one could perhaps<br />best label their style of music as &quotroto Doom&quot;. Black Sab-<br />bath has a huge impact on their sound but they focused <br />L20 more on the doomy side of this style. Thus creating some <br />of the first ever Doom-metal records&#33; <br />The 1980s brought with them the first bona fide Doom-Metal <br />acts.This was the era in which bands such as Def Leppard, <br />Warrant, and Bon Jovi came to the foregrounds and professed <br />L25 to be &quot;heavy metal&quot;, and where thrash/speed and death metal <br />bands ruled the metal scene. The press also applied the term <br />&quot;heavy metal&quot; in a nasty pigeonholing manner to any band that <br />wore tight spandex and big hair. While there are so many bands <br />during that time that were truly deserving to fly underthe banner <br />L30 of Doom-Metal, they were vastly outnumbered by these Glam-<br />metal acts. The eighties were also known for the end period<br />of the NWOBHM, another semi-fast style of metal. So in an <br />era where speed was the prominent factor in extreme music, <br />Doom-Metal acts where greatly outnumbered, but this is the <br />L35 era where Doom-metal was mostly developed and created a <br />name for itself. <br />One 80s band that made Doom big was Trouble. Originally <br />from Chicago, this band got together in 1979 but gained popu-<br />larity from 1984 onwards. Trouble&#39;s music stands for slow, drag-<br />L40 ging heavy metal, clearly influenced by Black Sabbath. Due to <br />Christian beliefs of the band and its effect on their lyrics the band <br />initially fell under the label White-metal. <br />Saint Vitus, another early doom-oriented band, had perhaps <br />the biggest influence on the Doom-metal landscape (together with <br />L45 Candlemass). Their early work was on SST (Greg Ginn from Black <br />Flag&#39;s label) and was mostly fronted by Wino who gained more <br />fame later with semi-doom majors The Obsessed. Wino became <br />one of the most legendary figures of Doom-metal in his own right. <br />From his beginnings with The Obsessed, moving on to St. Vitus, <br />L50 and re-forming The Obsessed, he became one of the most promi-<br />nent and influenctial figures within the Doom-metal scene. He now <br />frequents the Stoner scene with his current band Spirit Caravan.<br /><br />13. The passage is mainly concerned with____.<br />A. establishing Black Sabbath as the most influential bands of Doom-metal<br />B. giving a defination of Doom-metal as a rock genre<br />C. discribing the development and introducing some master bands of Doom-metal<br />D. clarify the difference between Doom-metal and other metal genre such as Glam-metal<br />E. introducing the Doom-metal genre to non-familiar rock fans<br /><br />14. Which of the following is NOT true about the band Pentagram?<br />A. Pentagram is often entangled with another band.<br />B. Pentagram sets a good example for the style “Proto Doom”.<br />C. Pentagram ranks amongst the earliest Doom-metal band.<br />D. The author regard Pentagram as a main master band in the 1970s.<br />E. Pentagram’s focus on doomy sides of Doom-metal affects Black Sabbath a lot.<br /><br />15. The author cites Iron Butterfly&#39;s &#39;Inna Gadda Da Vida&#39; (Line 13----14)in order to____.<br />A. give an example that shaped and influenced Black Sabbath’s music style<br />B. point out one of the major resourses of doomy riffs of later Doom-metal<br />C. illustrate the view that some bands of the late sixties and early seventies are more influential to later Doom-metal than Black Sabbath<br />D. indicate an example of the songs with great riffs enlightening later Doom-metal<br />E. contrast early bands and later Doom-metal bands<br /><br />16. Which of the following bands is not regarded as a characteristic of Doom-metal according to the passage?<br />A. doomy atmosphere<br />B. spandex adornment<br />C. slow melody<br />D. Satanic theme<br />E. dragging riffs<br /><br />17. According to the passage, the relationship between Black Sabbath and Doom-metal is analogous to the relationship between____.<br />A.
