30、 questions. For each question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer.51 (1)The Westlife story really began way back in December 1996 when the three original members of Westlife were performing in a local production of the musical Grea

31、se. Shane Filan, Kian Egan and Mark Feehilly were all born and bred in Sligo, a small town a few hours west of the Republic of Irelands capital city, Dublin. During breaks the three would get together and sing covers of some of their favorite songs including Boyz II Mens I Make Love To You. The reac

32、tion to their singing was so positive that they decided to form a band as soon as they had finished their exams at school. This they duly did and on July 3 1997 they formed I.O.U.(2)The boys organized concerts in the area and even produced their own CDs to sell locally. This local success led to an

33、appearance on TV that was to prove extremely important. Among the viewers who saw the trio perform in a childrens hospital was Boyzones manager, Louis Walsh. Soon after Shanes mother contacted him about I.O.U. and found he had been desperately trying to get in contact with them.(3)Louis Walsh decide

34、d to hold auditions to recruit two new members in June of 1998. This is when Nicky Byrne and Bryan McFadden, two Dublin boys and friends entered the picture. A quick name change and Westside was born. Yes, WESTSIDE. This was to be the quintets name until they discovered another band already using th

35、e name and a final change to Westlife was called for. The final link in the chain was Ronan Keating, Boyzones lead singer, who at Louis Walshs request joined him to help and nurtured this raw talent. His experience proved an invaluable help.(4)The next step was to secure a record deal. The band orga

36、nized a showcase in Dublin and soon representatives of every major record label were offering the bewildered boys contracts. In October 1998 Westlife signed to RCA, a label that had a proven track record with the successful marketing of both Take That and Five.(5)Barely had the ink on the contract d

37、ried when they headed out on tour as part of the Smash Hits Show, which led to them winning the Best New Tour Act in December 1998 (this was an award Boyzone themselves had won in 1994 which seemed like a pretty good omen).(6)Styled by Kenny Ho, who was responsible for The Spice Girls image, Westlif

38、es first single Swear It Again was released in March 1999. In their native Ireland it went straight to number one and became the biggest selling debut single in the history of the Irish charts. A month later Swear It Again repeated the feat in the UK, staying at number one for two weeks and followin

39、g on from Boyzones dominance of the UK top spot. This success was soon matched all around Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.(7)They look set to repeat their success now in the USA. A tour throughout the States has meant Swear It Again is rapidly climbing the Billboard charts. This is the good

40、news the boys needed as Bryan McFadden recently suffered nervous exhaustion and had to miss some shows while recuperating back in Ireland with his family. Not only that but Ronan Keatings solo plans have forced him to give up his co-managing duties due to lack of time. More good news, though, is the

41、y have recently recorded with Mariah Carey and are due to begin work on their second album.52 Before the I.O.U. was formed, its members were _.（A）neighbors（B） classmates（C） co-performers（D）playmates53 The TV appearance was extremely important to the I.O.U. because _.（A）they got to know Louis Walsh a

42、t the show（B） their talents were recognized by Louis Walsh（C） they got great local success（D）it was their first concert on TV54 “The quintets name“ (Line 3, Para 3) most probably means _.（A）the name of a five-member group（B） the name of an outstanding group（C） the name which will soon become popular

43、（D）the name which will never be forgotten55 Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the last paragraph?（A）Bryan McFadden will have to give up the second album.（B） Mariah Carey has taken Ronan Keatings role.（C） Westlife might be upset about Ronan Keatings withdrawal.（D）Westlife will ha

44、ve the second album recorded in the U.S.55 (1)When does history begin? It is tempting to reply “In the beginning“, but like many obvious answers, this soon turns out to be unhelpful. As a great Swiss historian once pointed out in another connection, history is the one subject where you cannot begin

45、at the beginning. If we want to, we can trace the chain of human descent back to the appearance of vertebrates, or even to the photosynthetic cells which lie at the start of life itself. We can go back further still, to almost unimaginable upheavals which formed this planet and even to the origins o

46、f the universe. Yet this is not “history“.(2)Commonsense helps here: history is the story of mankind, of what it has done, suffered or enjoyed. We all know that dogs and cats do not have histories, while human beings do. Even when historians write about a natural process beyond human control, such a

47、s the ups and downs of climate, or the spread of disease, they do so only because it helps us to understand why men and women have lived (and died) in some ways rather than others.(3)This suggests that all we have to do is to identify the moment at which the first human beings step out from the shad

48、ows of the remote past. It is not quite as simple as that, though. We have to know what we are looking for first and most attempts to define humanity on the basis of observable characteristics prove in the end arbitrary and cramping, as long arguments about “apemen“ and “missing links“ have shown. P

49、hysiological tests help us to classify data but do not identify what is or is not human. That is a matter of a definition about which disagreement is possible. Some people have suggested that human uniqueness lies in language, yet other primates possess vocal equipment similar to our own; when noises are made with it which are s
