D．What unique ways do you employ to write these"sad love songs"？
E．Has winning the award added to the pressure you are experiencing？
F．You studied at the Brit School．Why do you think if S produced so many stars in recent years？
61．B
Yeah，I did"Letterman"and"The Today Show"．I have no idea what they were equal to because obviously we don't have them here．I like the two shows which are like"Imagine GMTV"but on a much bigger scale．It was live and there were about 50 million people watching，so I literally express myself!"Letterman"was pre-recorded so I wasn't quite nervous，but I forgot that during my performance．I got halfway through the song and couldn't remember whether it was live or not．
62．A
Obviously when I was little，but mainly from when I was 16 onwards．I first remember singing when I was really little，probably when I was about six．I did a Spice Girls tribute in my room for my family．And then I went to study at the Brit School，the performing arts school in Croydon．To be honest，I really enjoyed my time there，where I did actual lessons，but they didn't force anything onto you．They just aimed to help you develop．They nurtured you，you know．
63．F
I was thinking about this the other day，because，before this year，the Brit School didn't actually produce anyone．All this money was being pumped into it，and nobody was coming out of it and doing well，so I think they were getting a bit worried．I think the Brit School's produced loads of great people that nobody knows yet，but off the back of Amy Winehouse，who earned six nominations，including Best New Artist，Record of the Year and Song of the Year for her hit"Rehab"and Album of the Year for"Back to Black"，it's been getting more support．Suddenly all these great girls came forward in this great outburst of talent--I think ifs just luck and timing，to be honest．．
64．D
In the past years I've tried to sit down and think"Right，this is what Fm going to write about"，but I can't because you can't force it．AU my songs are a bit sad and full of drama because when Fm happy I haven't got time to write songs，you know．When I've had my heart broken，I end up feeling sorry for myself and writing songs．"Therefore，there wasn't really a specific process to it．I just sort of happen to sit and wait patiently until I'm ready to write the record．I can't really plan it very well．If I try to plan，it never works out well．
65．C
It doesn't really make sense，does it？"Chasing Pavements"is about chasing a boy-even if you know something's going to go wrong，you really want it to go right，so you just don't give up．I can't write other people's drama，and I can't glamorize a microwave or anything like that，so I end up writing songs about things I've experienced．Then，I got a whole album's worth of songs out of them!

点评 "信息匹配"题是近年来高考英语中出现的一个新题型，其目的是考查考生通过快速阅读获取信息和处理信息的能力．从目前的情况来看，这类题型的所涉及文章体裁大都属于应用文，如广告（含招聘广告、产品销售广告、宣传广告等）、简历、图书资料、社交书信和产品说明书等，总的说来，其实用性比较强．该题型的显著特点是：情景内容具体，人物角色明确，任务定位合理、针对性强．
一、寻找关键词句
即要阅读过程中要善于所读应用文及其相关的匹配对象，寻找关键词句，整料上不同类别的应用文都有相对固定的要素，如培训班招生广告中多涉及课程、时间、地点、教师、学费、入学条件和联系方式等；剧院介绍则包括位置、联系电话、上演剧目、时间和票价等．而这些要素正是人物信息中个人关注的方面，所以，考生在详读人物信息时可以根据应用文的主题、话题或类别特点，以年龄、爱好、时间、地点、经济条件、工作技能等为线索，找出关键的不同信息．
二、寻找相关信息
即要依据所读材料的写作特点和写作的表现形式（格式），寻找相关信息点．有的应用文语言精炼简洁，有的甚至以短句、省略句等形式出现，考生应具备这方面的知识和能力，跳过一些与信息关联不大的生词，突破难点，匹配对应的内容．
三、比较相同和异同
要读懂、弄清匹配项与应用文之间的条件、范围等，有的条件有多个，范围有大有小，要列出要点，对比与其它匹配项的异同，排除干扰项，从而选定条件要点都相一致的那一工页．
四、划线关键信息
要用笔划出关键点，以便引起注意，有助于记忆、理顺思路．同时，对已选的匹配项，可用笔划线标明，以便减少混乱、减少错误，提高解题速度．
