Answer 1

【答案】

【2】young

【3】to meet

【4】popular

【5】started

【解析】

本篇文章难度适中，主要讲述美国流行歌手把他们的音乐做成CD，通过卖CD，可以赚很多钱。美国的流行音乐有很多种，其中两个是民间音乐和乡村音乐。

【1】句意“当一个流行歌手被全世界所听，年轻人就会去买他们的音乐”。主语a popular singer与谓语hear之间为被动be done，故填heard。

【2】句意“当一个流行歌手被全世界所听，年轻人就会去买他们的音乐”。空处修饰名词people，用形容词，根据all the young people want ___3___ him or her可知，是年轻人买他们的音乐，故填young。

【3】句意“当歌手开演唱会，所有的年轻人想要去见他们”。根据句意可知，歌手开演唱会，年轻人想要去见他们。meet遇见，且根据want to do“想要做某事”可知，故填to meet。

【4】句意“在美国人中有许多种流行的音乐”。根据文章结构可知，上文讲述流行歌手，本段讲述流行音乐，故填popular。

【5】句意“牛仔们开始唱这种音乐”。start开始，且根据Cowboys would sing at night to the cows so that they didn't run away可知，用一般过去时，故填started。
