Ⅱ.阅读理解 A You might have noticed that the ringing sound of basketballs was almost like the beat to a song.But did you know that it could be taken seriously as music? The music group STOMP has taken everyday objects and turned them into instruments. The music it has created is a hit all over the world. STOMP was formed by British musicians Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas. They met in the early 1980s when they were both working as buskers, the British term for street performers.

STOMP made its first public appearance at London's Bloomsbury Theatre in 1991. The performers used one?of?a?kind instruments, such as empty water bottles, basketballs, and matchboxes to create music. Wearing overalls and T?shirts, they danced around on a stage made to look like a closed warehouse (仓库). STOMP was a great success, winning many theater awards and drawing huge crowds (人群)． In 1994, STOMP came to the United States and played at the Orpheum Theater in New York City. Years later it is still playing there! To celebrate its ten?year anniversary (周年纪念), the then New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg renamed the street outside the theater STOMP Avenue.

People from all cultures can understand it, no matter which language they speak. 【语篇解读】 本 ... ...
