26、   Kendrick Lamar hasn't had much luck when it comes to winning a Grammy (格莱美奖). But that's OK. The US rapper (说唱歌手) has just won a Pulitzer Prize for his music.

In 2017, in 2019, and again this year. Lamar was nominated (提名) for an album of the year Grammy. Each time, he was beaten out, first by Taylor Swift, next by Daft Punk, and most recently by Bruno Mars.

But the Pulitzer Prize committee was inspired enough by Lamar's 2020 album, Damn，to award the 30-year-old its Pulitzer Prize in music on April 16. It's an amazing album that documents the real life of modern African-Americans in South Los Angeles with wildly accomplished beats and rhythms.

Lamar's win is considered to be historical. The Pulitzers have long displayed their preference toward high art rather than the pop culture of the masses. So it's not just that no rapper has ever won a Pulitzer: no pop music maker has ever won one in the award's 75-year history.

But Lamar is not just a singer—he's clever at using language. Like the best writers, his music describes small moments that illustrate (阐明) larger points. His songs are about his experience as a black man who grew up in California, struggled, got into trouble, and found his way out by working hard and making sense of the history and reality of racial problems in the US.

"He's an artist who challenges idea," said Ryan Coogler, director of the blockbuster (大片) hit Black Panther, for which Lamar created music. "One big theme in our film is the idea of, 'What does it mean to be African?' Kendrick in his music is very exactly and directly challenging that question."

Good artists entertain us, great artists make us think, and exceptional artists help us empathize (感同身受).

There are a lot of good, great, even exceptional artists in rock, pop, country, and hip-hop. But only Lamar has a Pulitzer Prize.

【1】What is Lamar's album Damn about?

A．African-Americans，history and culture.

B．Hardships of the African-American artists.

C．The ways the US government deal with racial problems.

D．The lives of modem black people in South Los Angeles.

【2】How many times was Lamar nominated for an album of Grammy?

A．0ne.

B．Two.

C．Three.

D．Four.

【3】Why is Lamar's Pulitzer Prize win significant?

A．He is the first film-maker to win the prize.

B．It is considered a milestone for pop music.

C．He is the first black person to win the prize.

D．He has missed Grammy several times before.

【4】What can we learn from Ryan Coogler's words?

A．Lamar drew inspiration from his own experience.

B．Lamar has the courage to take on big challenges in life.

C．Black Panther is well known because of Lamar's music.

D．Lamar's music matches the theme of Black Panther well.

28、   It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, but manners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter.

Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarreling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.

However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.

An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages(堵塞) that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship (公路驾车技能). Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.

【1】According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by_______________ .

A. the great speed of modern life B. traffic jams

C. terrible road conditions D. the behavior of the drivers

【2】In the writer’s opinion, a good driver should________________ .

A. beat back when forced to face rude driving

B. show road politeness properly

C. join in traffic stream quickly however other people feel

D. encourage old ladies to cross the roads whenever they want to

【3】The following statements are right EXCEPT that______________.

A. Some modern drivers are not good at driving

B. Road politeness is good sense as well as good manners

C. A friendly driver should nod or wave thanks in answer to an act of politeness

D. It is also right to have a tiger in the driver's seat

【4】What is the best title of the passage?

A. Road politeness B. Traffic problems

C. Good manners D. Modern drivers
