问题 下面你将听到一段关于埃尔维斯-普雷斯利(猫王)的内容。//
    Elvis Aaron Presley, born in Tupelo, Mississippi in 1935, could well claim to be the 20th century’s most famous entertainer. His combination of white country and Western music with black rhythm and blues gave the 50s teenage generation music they could identify with.  //
    But like so many 20th century idols, Presley was becoming a victim of the fame he had attracted. Under pressure from his domineering manager, Colonel Tom Parker, he embarked on a series of comparatively mediocre films. By the 70s, Presley was reduced to singing tearful ballads in night clubs in Las Vegas. Presley died in 1977 at his home in Memphis, which had been the center of his musical world for most of his short life.   //
    To this day, Presley’s home is a shrine to his memory, a measure of the impact he had on his contemporaries. Each year, thousands of sightseers visit the Presley Museum in Tennessee to get a closer view of what it was like to be the undisputed idol of so many people for so many years.   //

选项

答案 埃尔维斯-阿伦-普雷斯利1935年出生于密西西比州的图珀洛城,堪称20世纪最著名的艺人。他将乡村音乐、西方音乐和黑人的节奏布鲁斯结合起来,为50年代的年轻人带去了他们可以认同的音乐。 同许多20世纪的偶像一样,普雷斯利成了他自己名声的牺牲品。在跋扈的经纪人汤姆-帕克尔德的压力下,他拍出了一系列相当平庸的电影。70年代,他不得不到拉斯维加斯的夜总会唱些悲情民谣。1977年,普莱斯利在孟菲斯的家中逝世。在他短暂一生的大部分时间里,那儿是他音乐世界的中心。 时至今日,他的家仍旧是纪念圣地,标志着他对同时代人的影响力。每年,成千上万的观光客人参观田纳西州的猫王纪念馆,一睹这位历久不衰、无可争议的大众偶像过去的风采。
