It’s OK to say you’ve never heard of grime—unless you’re from the U．K. That’s because this music was invented in the U．K. in the early 2000s.
To someone who’s not familiar with underground music culture, it’s easy to get confused between hip­hop and grime since they are both noisy. And many people didn’t bother to tell them apart, until earlier this month when grime stars like Stormzy and J Hus led this year’s MOBO Awards— “Music of Black Origin” —nominations(提名) in the U．K.
Just like U．K. electronic music and hip­hop, from which grime drew influence, it mostly reflects the thoughts of young people. But different from hip­hop, grime singers sing in dialects with strong accents, giving a special flavor to their songs.
Lady Leshurr, known as the “Queen of Grime”， said that she once tried to hide her accent, as she didn’t want people to judge her. But one day, she realized that she didn’t need to change herself just to please others. And there’s no doubt that this is the most basic and important quality of grime music: be yourself.
Also different from the hip­hop culture, which usually focuses on being rich, grime singers pay more attention to social phenomena like the European refugee problem and the gap between the rich and poor.
Although still quite young, grime seems to be getting favored by more and more people. In 2016, the English grime artist Skepta won the Mercury Prize with his album Konnichiwa, beating big names like David Bowie and Radiohead. However, no matter whether grime is one day accepted by the mainstream music world or not, one thing is for sure: in grime, singers always stay true to themselves.

A【解题导语】　本文主要介绍了英国的地下音乐形式grime，这种音乐与嘻哈音乐有着些许不同：相比嘻哈音乐，grime音乐歌手更关注社会问题。
1．B　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的“it’s easy to get confused between hip­hop and grime since they are both noisy”可知，人们很容易把hip­hop和grime音乐弄混，因为它们都很吵，故hip­hop和grime音乐的共同之处在于它们的声音都很大，故选B项。
2．C　解析：代词指代题。根据第三段中的“Just like U．K. electronic music and hip­hop”可知，画线词it所指代的音乐与英国electronic music和hip­hop相似，因此it就不能指代这两种音乐，故排除A、B选项；根据 “But different from hip­hop, grime singers sing in dialects with strong accents, giving a special flavor to their songs.”可知，与hip­hop不同的是，grime歌手用带有浓重口音的方言演唱，赋予了他们的歌曲一种特殊的韵味，因此画线词it指的就是grime音乐，故选C项。
3．C　解析：推理判断题。根据第五段中的“grime singers pay more attention to social phenomena like the European refugee problem and the gap between the rich and poor”可知，grime歌手更多地关注社会现象，比如欧洲的难民问题、贫富差距。因此grime歌手承担了社会责任，故选C项。
4．A　解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Although still quite young, grime seems to be getting favored by more and more people.”可知，尽管grime音乐诞生时间不长，但它正在受到越来越多的人的认可与支持，grime歌手Skepta的成功证明了这一点，故选A项。
