    During the 1800s, African Americans worked long days in the fields of the American South. They sang
songs that they had brought from Africa while working. One person sang a line. Then a group of workers
repeated it. The song’s words told of the hardships(艰苦) that people suffered. They clapped their hands
and stomped(跺) their feet to the music.
    In the 1860s, the music changed greatly. African American music took new forms. It was also influenced by dance music, which had great rhythm(节奏). Banjos(班卓琴) became popular. A blues singer usually sang a line and then played the banjo in reply. By the early 1900s, the guitar had taken the place of the
banjo in the blues music.
    The blues music has many obvious characteristics. One of them is that the musical notes() are often “
bent”. That is, they are changed slightly to give a song more strength.
    Lyrics are the words of a song. Blues lyrics describe everyday life. The lyrics are often about the relationships between men and women. They tell about sadness and overwork. They tell about finding and losing
love, having money or being poor, being happy or sad and lonely. They almost always use the rhythms of
everyday speech. A group of blues lyrics usually has three lines. The second line repeats the first line. The
third line has different words.
    By the 1940s, large numbers of African Americans moved to Chicago.There, a new kind of "Chicago" blues began. The new music was excellent dance music. Chicago blues led to the birth of a new music
style －rock and roll.

据专家权威分析，试题“阅读理解。 During the 1800s, African Americans worked long d..”主要考查你对  历史文化类阅读  等考点的理解。关于这些考点的“档案”如下：

历史文化类阅读

考点名称：历史文化类阅读

  • 历史文化类阅读：
    本类题型常用的方式是夹叙夹议。叙述的目的是为了议，所以要把握其议才是主要方面。
    阅读这类文章，先弄清其引入的话题，再弄清里面人物对其不同的看法，然后理解作者本身对话题的观点看法或思考。

  • 初中英语阅读理解的解题技巧：
    一、要注意养成良好的阅读心理，阅读时要去掉杂念，心绪要安定，精神要专一，要形成一种惬意的顺向心理。
    切不可一遇到几个生词难句，就心烦意乱，失去自控能力。心理学家告诉我们，任何恐慌，过分紧张的情绪都会形成一种消极因素妨碍大脑的正常思维功能。
    因此，遇到困难一定要从容不迫，心无旁骛。这样才能对所读的文章印象清晰，理解深刻。

    二、要提高视读的速度，考阅读理解，从另一个方面来说，考的是考试速度。因此做阅读理解时，要注意培养自己快速阅读的习惯。
    切不可在个别难懂的词句上磨蹭，只要全篇理解了，个别难懂的词句可以根据上下文和构词法去猜测，去推断。

    三、对文章的评价分析，一定要坚持“词不离句，句不离篇”，要理解文章作者的原意，而不能按你自己的意愿去想当然。
    切记：一想当然，就会出错。
