Weighing in at 17 tracks, including two pedestrian <br />new songs, Greatest Hits duplicates much of Decade of Decadence <br />L5 featuring no less than eight songs - "Looks That Kill," "Home <br />Sweet Home" (original, not the Decade version), "Smokin' in the <br />Boys' Room," "Girls, Girls, Girls," "Wild Side," "Dr. Feelgood," <br />"Kickstart My Heart" (original, not the live version that was on <br />Decade), " rimal Scream" - that were on the previous collection. <br />L10 Considering all that overlap, you can be forgiven for thinking that <br />the two compilations are interchangeable, but Greatest Hits actually<br />has the edge, not just because it doesn't feature the silly "Anarchy<br />in the U.K." cover, but because it features a greater selection of <br />hits from their masterpiece, Dr. Feelgood, including "Without You,"<br />L15 "Don't Go Away Mad (Just Go Away)," and "Same Ol' Situation<br />(S.O.S.)," all of which weren't on Decade. It has its flaws, to be<br />sure - the sequencing is illogical, the newer songs are lame, and <br />the original "Shout at the Devil" should have been featured instead<br />of the atrocious Generation Swine re-recording - but it's still the <br />L20 best overview yet assembled.<br /><br />5. Which of the following tracks is included in Greatest Hits but NOT in Decade Of Decadence ?<br />A. Dr. Feelgood<br />B. Primal Scream<br />C. Teaser<br />D. Kickstart My Heart(live version)<br />E. Home Sweet Home(original version)<br /><br />6. The author argues that Greatest Hits would be a better overview of the band if____.<br />A. fewer tracks overlapped with Decade Of Decadence<br />B. the order of the songs in the compilation rearranged more properly<br />C. more new songs featured in Greatest Hits<br />D. more tracks selected other than from the album Dr. Feelgood<br />E. the track “Shout At The Devil” excluded from the compilation<br /><br />7. The author agrees with each of the following assertions EXCEPT____.<br />A. it’s regrettable that Decade Of Decadence doesn’t include any track from the band’s masterpiece Dr. Feelgood<br />B. Greatest Hits and Decade Of Decadence share many tracks in common<br />C. The two new-featured songs in Greatest Hits are undistinguished<br />D. As an overview of the musical career of Motley Crue, Greatest Hits is a better solution than Decade Of Decadence<br />E. The original version of “Shout At The Devil” is far better than the version in Greatest Hits<br /><br />8. Iron Maiden : Paul Di’Anno<br />A. Kiss : Paul Stanley<br />B. Savatage : Zachary Stevens<br />C. Deep Purple : Rod Evans<br />D. Metallica : James Hatfield<br />E. Black Sabbath : Ozzy Osbourne<br /><br />9.

But after eight studio albums and many world tours, Ozzy and Sabbath parted company when he realized that "we had come to a ____ in musical direction."<br />A. crossroads<br />B. intersection<br />C. junction<br />D. crossing<br />E. concordance<br /><br />10. BOOTLEG<br />A. studio album<br />B. masterpiece<br />C. debut album<br />D. official live album<br />E. authorized release<br /><br />11. SAVATAGE : TESTAMENT<br />A. Megadeth : Metallica<br />B. Ozzy Osbourne : Quiet Roit<br />C. Skid Row : Bon Jovi<br />D. Lita Ford : The Runaways<br />E. Whitesnake : Deep Purple<br /><br />11. （由于疏忽，12. 有两个11题。这个记作11-2吧）ANTHRAX : GOT THE TIME<br />A. Metallica : Am I Evil<br />B. Guns N’ Roses : Don’t Cry<br />C. Aerosmith : Dream On<br />D. Motley Crue : Anarchy in the U.K.<br />E. Run DMC : Walk This Way<br /><br />Questions 12----17 are based on the passage below:<br /><br />L1 Most people agree that Black Sabbath is amongst the most <br />influential bands for all heavy metal in general, and Doom-<br />Metal is no exception;esp.,their Satanic lyric became a theme for later<br />Doom-metal bands.Their early albums 'Black Sabbath', 'aranoid', 'Master <br />L5 Of Reality', 'Vol. 4', 'Sabbath Bloody Sabbath', and 'Sabotage' <br />are all without doubt, masterpieces, and without them Doom-Metal <br />(or even metal in general) would not exist at all. While Black Sabbath <br />were definitely well ahead of their time, and as such one of a kind, <br />they certainly weren't without their contemporaries (Pentagram, <br />L10 Blue Cheer, Black Widow). Some of the earliest prototypes of <br />Doom-Metal were in fact songs of the late sixties and early seventies that, <br />whilst not wholly doomy, contained countless great riffs that came to <br />shape the sound of Doom-Metal in later years. Such songs include Iron <br />Butterfly's 'Inna Gadda Da Vida'. <br />L15 One of Black Sabbath's main contemporaries - Pentagram-<br />can be counted as one of the earliest Doom bands around,<br />often intertwining with the band Bedemon one could perhaps<br />best label their style of music as "roto Doom". Black Sab-<br />bath has a huge impact on their sound but they focused <br />L20 more on the doomy side of this style. Thus creating some <br />of the first ever Doom-metal records! <br />The 1980s brought with them the first bona fide Doom-Metal <br />acts.This was the era in which bands such as Def Leppard, <br />Warrant, and Bon Jovi came to the foregrounds and professed <br />L25 to be "heavy metal", and where thrash/speed and death metal <br />bands ruled the metal scene. The press also applied the term <br />"heavy metal" in a nasty pigeonholing manner to any band that <br />wore tight spandex and big hair. While there are so many bands <br />during that time that were truly deserving to fly underthe banner <br />L30 of Doom-Metal, they were vastly outnumbered by these Glam-<br />metal acts. The eighties were also known for the end period<br />of the NWOBHM, another semi-fast style of metal. So in an <br />era where speed was the prominent factor in extreme music, <br />Doom-Metal acts where greatly outnumbered, but this is the <br />L35 era where Doom-metal was mostly developed and created a <br />name for itself. <br />One 80s band that made Doom big was Trouble. Originally <br />from Chicago, this band got together in 1979 but gained popu-<br />larity from 1984 onwards. Trouble's music stands for slow, drag-<br />L40 ging heavy metal, clearly influenced by Black Sabbath. Due to <br />Christian beliefs of the band and its effect on their lyrics the band <br />initially fell under the label White-metal. <br />Saint Vitus, another early doom-oriented band, had perhaps <br />the biggest influence on the Doom-metal landscape (together with <br />L45 Candlemass). Their early work was on SST (Greg Ginn from Black <br />Flag's label) and was mostly fronted by Wino who gained more <br />fame later with semi-doom majors The Obsessed. Wino became <br />one of the most legendary figures of Doom-metal in his own right. <br />From his beginnings with The Obsessed, moving on to St. Vitus, <br />L50 and re-forming The Obsessed, he became one of the most promi-<br />nent and influenctial figures within the Doom-metal scene. He now <br />frequents the Stoner scene with his current band Spirit Caravan.<br /><br />13.
