That’s because this artist was born deaf.Though Signmark doesn’t say a word，he signs his way through his songs. “Those two words，music and deaf，have never gone together，” signed Signmark. Deaf and hearing music fans haven’t gone together before，either.Signmark bridges that gap with the rapper Brandon，who gives voice to his lyrics. Signmark recently performed in New York City as part of International Deaf Awareness week，during his tour of the U．S..But he hasn’t always been interested in rap.He got his musical start at 7 years old translating Christmas songs. “We felt kind of lonely when they started singing Christmas songs and I felt it wasn’t fair so I said to my grandmother，‘Stop playing the piano for a minute，look at me，let me try to read your lips，and I’ll try to interpret (解釋) what you’re saying to my parents so we can join’”，said Signmark through a translator. As a teenager，rap attracted Signmark because he knew rappers’feelings of having no voice in society. “They want equality (平等)，they’re fighting for rights from the government，fighting for information，and I said that’s what I want to do，” said Signmark. In xx，Signmark became the first deaf rapper ever to land a record contract (唱片合約)．Even though Signmark can’t hear the music，he truly feels the beat; his fans can feel it too. “You can go to a concert with earplugs and you’ll feel it; you’ll then notice that you feel it in your body，” said Signmark. His sign language has bee part of his performance; a new art form that creates a shared experience for the hearing and the deaf，with neither side being left at a loss for words. 【解題導(dǎo)語(yǔ)】　本文描述了一個(gè)不被命運(yùn)所束縛而積極進(jìn)取的青少年形象。 56．Signmark’s lyrics show he is________. A．sad B．determined C．clever D．tired 解析：選B。推理判斷題。第一段中的Even if the world es falling down...I stand tall proud back against the wall(即使世界崩潰，我也會(huì)驕傲地佇立)是Signmark一首歌里的歌詞，他的歌反映了他的堅(jiān)定意志。 57．Why did Signmark show great interest in rap? A．Because he thought rap is the most beautiful music. B．Because he could express himself fully with rap. C．Because he wanted to use sign language to perform rap. D．Because he had the same feeling as rappers of not being valued. 解析：選D。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第八、九段可知Signmark之所以對(duì)說(shuō)唱音樂(lè)感興趣是因?yàn)樗杏X(jué)到說(shuō)唱藝人的權(quán)利沒(méi)有人給予重視，這與他的感受相同，故選D項(xiàng)。 58．What can we know about Signmark? A．He was born into a musical family. B．He gave real voice to his songs. C．He brought enjoyment of music to the deaf. D．He followed the advice from the rapper Brandon. 解析：選C。推理判斷題。由文章第四段music and deaf，have never gone together...以及最后一段His sign language...creates a shared experience for the hearing and the deaf可知，Signmark帶給聾啞人音樂(lè)享受。 59．What might be the most suitable title for the passage?
