专题限时检测(十五)　阅读理解之文化类 (共3篇，限时24分钟) A (2014·河南省普通高中毕业班适应性测试)English songs have been very popular for people around the world for many decades.Singers, from Elvis Presley to Ricky Martin, from the Beatles to Eminen and from Natalie Cole to Britney Spears, have all been sitting in everyones heart, even for people who dont speak English. But will you have better English skills if you listen to English songs for a long time? From my experiences, some people listen to English songs for 20－30 years but still havent accomplished any good English skills. Some people choose English songs to be the “main learning approach”， but most of them have failed. Listening to English songs does not help you to speak English fluently. It does help you gain some vocabularies. Most of them are unusual ones that you dont use in your everyday life. You wont learn the sentence “It is a complicate project. We really need to meet the deadline.” in any English songs. People like using English songs to practice English skills because its easy and enjoyable.They think that sitting in the car listening to English songs day by day can improve their English skills. It is not that actually. You will not improve your listening skills because normal people dont speak with melody (乐调). People dont talk like Eminens songs (well, actually, some teenagers do). You cant get yourself familiar with English pronunciation or accent just from listening to English songs. The words that they pronounce in the songs are not the words that you will hear in your everyday life.It often even confuses you more how English is pronounced. I would fully encourage you to watch English movies, listen to radio news or other normal talks, but not music. Of course, you can consume it for fun but not the aim to improve your English skills. 1．Whats the text mainly about? A．How English songs help people practice English skills.
