The influence of America is increasing in my country. Spanish people drink Coca Cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies, listen to American music, and eat fast food, and they do these things every day.

    I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because people are often influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the programs and documentaries (紀錄片) we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movies we go to see are made in Hollywood.

    In the last few years, the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies. Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe.

    American culture is a part of Spanish life now. It’s certain that many things from America are as much a part of people’s lives as Spanish things. For example, Coca Cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. I’ve known about Coca Cola for my whole life.

    However, it’s different with Western fast food. For example, I don’t think McDonald’s is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the lifestyle of the Spanish people. The Spanish people normally eat at home.

    On the other hand, maybe McDonald’s hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. It’s true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonald’s, and it is more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults. In any case, it’s obvious that American culture is becoming more and more a part of our lives every day.

61. From the first paragraph we can know that ____.

A. the influence of America on Spain can be found everywhere

B. most Spanish people don’t like to listen to their own music

C. fast food spreads from Spain to the United States

D. some Spanish actors go to America to improve their acting skills

62. What plays an important part in the spreading of American culture in Spain?

A. American novels.      B. Hollywood movies.

C. McDonald’s.          D. American music.

63. Why did the government set some rules for the films shown in Spain?

A. To protect foreign culture in Spain.

B. To earn more money from Spanish films.

C. To limit the number of foreign movies.

D. To unite the European Community.

64. Why does the author think that McDonald’s is not as successful as it is in other countries?

A. Its fast food contains too much fat.

B. He thinks it is unhealthy.

C. Spanish people seldom eat out.

  D. Spanish adults don’t like its fast food.

65. What do you think Spanish tapas might be?

 A. The name of a drink.     B. The name of a restaurant.

C. A clothing brand.        D. A certain kind of food.

In “Relax, We’ll Be Fine”, columnist David Brooks writes, “the fact is, despite all the problems, America’s future is extremly bright.”

Mr. Brooks acknowledges that “According to recent survey, 60 percent of Americans think the country is heading in the wrong direction. The same percentage believe that the U.S. is in long-term decline. The political system is not functional. A financial crisis looks unavoidable. There are plenty of reasons to be sad.”

But, he writes:

“Demographers(人口學(xué)家) predict that over the next 40 years, the U.S. population will increase by an additional 100 million people, to 400 million over all. The population will be determined, hardworking and relatively young. In 2050, only a quarter will be over 60, compared with 31 percent in China and 41 percent in Japan.”

As the rising generation leads an economic recovery, it will also participate in a communal

(of community) one. We are living in a global age of social entrepreneurship(創(chuàng)業(yè)精神).

In sum, the U.S. is on the edge of a demographic, economic and social recovery, built on its historic strengths. The U.S. has always been good at destructive change. And it’s always been good at decentralized community-building, too. Surely a country with this much going for it is not going to wait around passively and let a rotten political culture drag it down.

51．In his article Relax, We’ll Be Fine, David Brooks intends to____________.

A．encourage Americans to be optimistic about their future

B．give Americans courage to face their financial crisis

C．persuade Americans to live happily and generously

D．inspire Americans to lead an economic recovery

52．There are all the reasons for Americans to be unhappy except____________

A．the function-failed political system         B．the increasing population

C．the declining economy                   D．the wrong direction and financial crisis

53．Over the next 40 years, according to David Brooks, Americans will be____________

A．more optimistic and humorous            B．more pessimistic and stronger

C．more energetic and promising             D．more considerate and aggressive

54．In the author’s opinion, America____________.

A．has always benefited from wars            B．has done well by its political system

C．has contributed a lot to human progress     D．has contributed to world’s economy

55．We can learn from the passage that____________

A．American political system and culture are backward

B．Americans are not a nation to give in to difficulties

C．Americans are very destructive and aggressive

D．America has been in an economic and social recovery

       Thirty years ago, when the movie version of my novel Jaw was published, few people including me knew very much about great white sharks．For hundreds of generations, we humans have been taught to fear and hate sharks, and the movie touched a nerve of horror．

       Now something long thought impossible has happened．A great white shark was successfully held in capacity for several months．In August last year a very young female great white shark was caught accidentally in a fisherman’s net off Huntington Beach, California, and then kept in an ocean pen（欄柵）for 25 days．After being moved to the Monterey Bay Aquarium （水族館）, she grew well in the million-gallon Outer Bay Exhibit．She was so lovely that people all liked her very much．Perhaps she was too young to understand that the big tank was not her natural environment, because she didn’t hit her head against the walls in an attempt to swim away as others of her kind have done．And she began to feed almost immediately on small fish offered to her on a pole．In the months that followed, the shark suffered no serious injuries, caught no diseases, and grew noticeably larger, breaking all records for great white sharks in capacity．The longest that any other great white shark had been held was 16 days．

       Until February 23, that is, when she hit and killed a soupfin shark（翅鯊）, as she grew bigger and her behavior grew more aggressive, officials at the Aquarium knew the time had come．On March 31, after 198 days in the aquarium, the great white shark was released into the Pacific．

       Scientists still have a lot to learn about sharks, especially great white sharks which are now considered to be in danger．Scientists do know that sharks are necessary to ocean health．Remove any significant animal from the sea food chain and you will risk destroying the balance of nature．

72．We can see that in the film Jaw the shark was once described as ________．

       A．a(chǎn) pet of children         B．a(chǎn) horror to human beings

       C．a(chǎn) friend of the aged      D．a(chǎn) guard of its owner

73．Different from the others of her kind, the young female great white shark was somewhat ________ in the beginning．

       A．terrible and dangerous         B．fierce and cruel

       C．loyal and friendly          D．gentle and lovely

74．By saying that “officials at the aquarium knew the time had come”, the writer probably means that the female great white shark ________．

       A．had to be killed                           B．escaped from the big tank

       C．had to be set free                          D．began to hit and kill other animals

75．What conclusion can be drawn from the text?

       A．We should protect great white sharks as well as other ocean animals．

       B．The female great white shark will be attacked by some other animals．

       C．Great white sharks are becoming more and more

       D．We should kill the enemies of white sharks in the oceans．
