問題詳情:
So far, this year’s global music market has definitely been dominated (支配)by women:Beyonce Knowles,Taylor Swirl,and Iggy Azalea are all making waves.And one hot name that adds more conviction to the list is US singer Ariana Grande.
Almost exactly a year ago,Grande released her first album,Yours Truly.And over the past 12 months,the 21-year-old former Nickelodeon(an American TV channel for kids and adolescents)star has transformed from a pop artist you might recognize to an outstanding superstar.She now possesses three top 10 singles in the current Billboard Hot 100 chart,an impressive opening performance at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards,and millions of followers on social networking sites.
Her second album,My Everything, which was released on Aug 25,is the latest sign of her coming dominance.It hit No.1 on the Billboard 200 album chart this week,making her the only other female singer after Scotland’s Susan Boyle to have two continuous No.1 albums in a single year.
Grande’s strength lies in her powerful voice and wide voiced range.Unlike her companions Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato,Grande’s star power is rooted in the fact that she can really sing.More importantly,Grande knows how to control her voice,which is at once strong and sensitive,and use it to expand her musical territory.
My Everything is the best example.In this album,Grande literally tries her hand at everything:dance music,R&B jams,hip-hop tunes,power ballads and even’60s-inflected pop.
While you can clearly sense her ambition as a singer,you will be impressed by how effortlessly she handles these different styles of music,especially if you have listened to Yours Truly,a more refreshing.’90s R&B—influenced project.
Of course,one suggestion for Grande’s future music would be for her to display more personality instead of simply showing her voiced talent.But not to worry, based on what we’ve heard thus far, it's safe to say Grande is well on her way to growing into her own.

22.We can conclude from the last paragraph that Grande_________.

C.1acks her own personality D.has difficulty going further
23.What can we learn about Ariana Grande?
A.She prefers hip-hop tunes in particular.
B.She used to be a pop star in a TV channel.
C.She has two top 10 singles of Billboard’s Hot 100.
D.She is the only singer to have two No.1 albums in a year.
24.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
