It seems the art of survival-or continual positive projection-in the world of pop music these days, depends very much on change. If artists fail to recreate their image--chameleon(变色龙)- like, over and over again--they risk facing accusations of dullness; that they are not fashionable.
This phenomenon is especially prevalent(普遍的) in the female ranks. It is not sufficient for an artist to be beautiful and sexy. These characteristics too must be changed often, and remodelled to avoid being bogged down(陷入困境) by a stereotype(老一套).
Two examples of the rock "n" roll art of move and change are Cher and Madonna, the latter a brilliant illustration of the trend. Her latest disc, "Something to Remember", displays how she has so effectively been able to stay at the top without diminishing credibility in her particular field. (For these purposes, we will forget her unworthy flirtation with sex, that horrible book and her swear-word-ridden, cigar-chewing appearance on the David Letterman Show. )
This collection demonstrates how she has moderate her image at relevant times to give contrast and definition to her career. But it offers more than simply a study in rock fashion history. There is also a solid collection of quality music.
It opens with the newish "I Want You with Massive Attack", a faintly morose and teary plea and quickly moves back in time to her earlier moments: "Crazy for You", "This Used To Be My Playground" and "You’ll See". There is also a nice version of "Love Don’t Live Here Anymore". So this is more than an exploitative offering.
However, Chef’s latest package, It’s a Man’s World’, cannot be reviewed proudly. In her past--the most memorable moment for this reviewer being her visit to a US warship amid cheering sailors for "If I Could Turn Back Time’-she has competed admirably. And she has demonstrated the classic features of the change syndrome(综合症). But this is a tired and dull Chef, Perhaps attempting to moderate her sexy and boy-crazy image in this session but failing.
This passage is primarily______.
选项
A、a review of Madonna and Chef’s new records
B、an analysis of Madonna’s success in the field of pop music
C、an accusation of Chef’s dullness
D、a criticism of the change syndrome in the world of pop music
答案
B
解析
文章开头指出了一个现象:演员必须不断地改变和重塑形象才能在流行音乐界得以生存下去,Cher与Madonna是两个典型的例子,而且后者正是这个潮流中成功的典范。下文主要通过分析Madonna的最新唱片以及与Cher进行对比说明为什么Madonna是一个成功者,因此文章的重心是分析Madonna的成功之处,故选B。对Madonna和Cher新唱片的评论都是服务于这一主题的,故选项A和C均不符合题意。文章在最后一段中称流行音乐界的这种变化潮流为“变化综合征”,但全文并未对这种“综合征”提出批评,故选项D亦不符题意。
