19.A new word has suddenly become wildly popular in China-"tuhao"-which loosely translated means"nouveau riche".There have been more than 100million references to the word"tuhao"on social media since early September.
It's being used to describe everything from the new People's Daily building,to expensive celebrity weddings full of bling,and the new gold-coloured iPhone.
In Chinese"tu"means earth and"hao"means rich.To say someone is tuhao is to imply they come from a poor peasant background,and have made it rich quick-but don't quite have the manners,or sophistication to go along with it.It's like the term"nouveau riche",says Professor Steve Tsang at the School of Contemporary Chinese Studies in Nottingham-but has even more negative meanings,suggesting a certain vulgarity(粗俗).
"Tuhao"is actually an old word,dating back perhaps as far as the Southern Dynasty 1,500years ago,but it has always meant something rather different.During the communist revolution,from the 1920s to early 1950s,it was widely used to refer to landholders and gentry who would bully those beneath them.
This new usage of the term took off in September after a widely-shared joke about a rich,but unhappy man,who goes to a Buddhist monk for advice,expecting to be told to live a more simple life.The monk replies instead with the phrase:"Tuhao,let's be friends!"
Chinese Internet users are highly creative in their use of language,and are constantly inventing,and re-inventing words as a way of getting past censorship(審查) rules.But in this case,its popularity seems to be down to the fact that it expresses China's changing society so well-many people sneer at those with wealth,but are secretly jealous.

分析 本文屬于說明文閱讀,作者通過這篇文章主要向我們描述了"土豪"這一新興詞語;介紹了它的由來和結(jié)果.
解答 67.A.主旨大意題.通讀全文可知,該文向讀者講述了一新興詞語"土豪",且根據(jù)文章的具體內(nèi)容可知"土豪"一詞并非新造之詞,而要突出其"新興"二字,故該題正確答案為A.
68.D.細(xì)節(jié)信息題.根據(jù)文章對"土豪"的具體定義可知,該詞在共產(chǎn)革命時(shí)指代欺壓弱小的土豪劣紳.在當(dāng)下,其重新流行,卻指代那些來自于貧困農(nóng)村,而又迅速富起來的"爆發(fā)戶",他們往往行為粗俗.而D.A Buddhist monk.佛教僧侶,并非為"土豪",故該題正確答案為D.
69.B.推理判斷題.本題詢問的是文章倒數(shù)第二段的段落大意.而該段主要講述的是"土豪"一詞再次流行的起因,故該題正確答案為B.
70.C.詞義猜測題.根據(jù)語境(尤其是"but are secretly jealous.")可知,該句句意:"但是對于‘土豪'這個(gè)詞,它之所以如此流行似乎是因?yàn),歸根結(jié)底,它正是中國社會轉(zhuǎn)型的一個(gè)縮影--許多人對這些擁有財(cái)富的人表面‘鄙夷',暗中卻非常妒忌.",故該詞應(yīng)為表示貶義的動詞;故該題正確答案為C.
點(diǎn)評 本文是歷史文化類閱讀理解.做這類題材閱讀理解時(shí)要求考生對文章通讀一遍,做題時(shí)結(jié)合原文和題目有針對性的找出相關(guān)語句進(jìn)行仔細(xì)分析,結(jié)合選項(xiàng)選出正確答案.推理判斷題也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確答案,切忌胡亂猜測,一定要做到有理有據(jù)
