Which of the following was Amos’ first album as a singer and songwriter?
Born in North Carolina but raised in Maryland, Toir Amos was the daughter of a preacher. By the age of four, she was singing and playing the piano in the church choir; she began writing her own songs shortly afterward. Amos moved to Los Angeles in her late teens to become a pop singer.
Atlantic Records signed her in 1987, recording an uninspired album called Y Kant Tori Read. The following year, the record was a complete failure, attracting no attention from radio or press and selling very few copies, nevertheless, she didn’t lose her record contract. By 1990, Amos had adopted a new approach. Atlantic sponsored a trip to England in 1991, where she played a series of concerts in support on an EP, Me and a Gun. It gained positive reviews throughout the media, and both the EP and the concerts sold well.
Little Earthquakes, Amos first album as a singer and songwriter, was released in late 1991 and sold well in both the U.S. and the U.K. delivered in early 1993, Under the Pink, the follow-up to Little Earthquakes, was a bigger hit, selling over a million copies.
Two years later, she delivered her third album, Boys for Pele, her most ambitious and difficult record to date.
Known for the sexual way that she plays the piano while in concert and for her radical and often rebellious lyrics, Toir has developed a huge fan base and much critical acclaim. She is now happily married, has just recently given birth to a baby girl, and continues to please her millions of fans earning some new ones along the way.
选项
A、Tori Amos didn’t write any songs.
B、Y Kant Tori Read was a great success.
C、After childbirth, Tori Amos continues to produce new songs.
D、Under the Pink didn’t sell as well as Little Earthquakes.
答案
C
解析
A项通过14题的题干即可排除。说话人说recording an uninspired album called Y Kant Tori Read the following year.可知 Y Kant Tori Read,并没有取得很大成功,故不选B。说话人说Under the Pink,the follow-up to Little Earthquakes,was a bigger hit,通过这句话可排除D项。故应选C。
