【題目】The Chinese word “Shanzhai” means a small mountain village, but now it becomes an accepted name for fakes (假貨), after “Shanzhai Cell-phones” produced by small workshops in southern China became popular in the mainland market over the past two years.

Besides “Shanzhai” electronic products, there are “Shanzhai” movies, “Shanzhai” stars and even a “Shanzhai” Spring Festival Gala (聯(lián)歡晚會(huì)), a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year’s Eve.

“Shanzhai” has become a culture of its own, meaning anything that imitates something famous.

In Chongqing, “Shanzhai” version “Bird’s Nest” and “Water Cube” woven by farmers with bamboo attract wide attention from tourists. Both are copies of the famous Olympic buildings in Beijing.

A literature critic said that taking the “Shanzhai” Gala as an example, when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the“Shanzhai” version appears timely to attract people. “Although it is often connected with poor techniques and operation, ‘Shanzhai’ culture meets the psychological needs of common people and could be a comfort to their minds,” he said.

To the mainstream (主流的) culture, the rise of “Shanzhai” culture is a challenge and a motivation (動(dòng)力). People believe different kinds of cultures developing together is a perfect situation and it is for the public to choose.

【1】The Chinese word “Shanzhai” may have started with ______.

A. Spring Festival Gala B. electronic products

C. fake cell-phones D. Olympic buildings

【2】According to the passage, “Shanzhai” culture refers to ______.

A. the action that a person imitates famous people

B. products with poor techniques and quality

C. those similar names to famous brands

D. anything that imitates something famous

【3】We can infer that the mainstream culture ______.

A. may develop faster because of the challenge of “Shanzhai” culture

B. is the challenge of “Shanzhai” culture

C. will be replaced by “Shanzhai” culture

D. is held back by “Shanzhai” culture

【題目】Pango was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.

Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.

This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn’t last long.

The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.

The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (殺蟲劑）and medicines. Soon there was no money left.

Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job—eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.

Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.

【1】From Paragraph 1 we learn that the villagers ________.

A. worked very hard for centuries

B. dreamed of having a better life

C. were poor but somewhat content

D. lived a different life from their forefathers

【2】Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?

A. The frogs were easy money.

B. They needed money to buy visitors.

C. They wanted to please the visitors.

D. The frogs made too much noise.

【3】What might be the cause of the children’s sickness?

A. The crops didn’t do well.

B. There were too many insects.

C. The visitors brought in diseases.

D. The pesticides were overused.

【4】What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?

A. Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.

B. Health is more important than money.

C. The harmony between man and nature is important.

D. Good old days will never be forgotten.

【題目】Where do the turtles go?

Every summer, thousands of endangered green sea turtles climb onto beaches around the world. Each mother sea turtle produces 100 or more eggs in a hole, and covers the hole with sand before she swims away.

Two months later, the eggs hatch(孵化), and the baby turtles climb out of the sand and swim into the ocean. They don’t reappear until they have grown as large as dinner plates. Until now, no one knows where the baby turtles go or what they do.

“if we don’t know where these little turtles are, we can’t protect them,” says Kim Reich, who helps solve part of the mystery.

Her teacher, Karen Bjorndal, has studied green sea turtles for more than 30 years. Every year, Bjorndal goes to the Bahamas Islands. Many young sea turtles come here to live and eat at the end of their childhood.

These turtles are the only sea turtles that live as plant eaters. In fact, their name may be a result of what they eat. The turtles don’t look green but they do have green fat. Scientists learned that the turtles eat green sea plants, which may turn their fat green.

Between 2002 and 2004, Bjorndal caught 44 green sea turtles in the Bahamas. After testing them, she found something to support the 20-year-old idea: baby green sea turtles eat meat before they turn to a diet of plants. In fact, they eat animals that live in the open ocean.

Scientists still need to find where exactly green sea turtles grow. We now know that baby green sea turtles are out in the open ocean, but the open ocean is a big place.

“It is really a problem,” says Bjorndal. The discovery may help us do a better job of protecting this sea animal.

【1】What can we learn from the first two paragraphs?

A. baby turtles go to the ocean when they are two months old.

B. Mother turtles leave the eggs alone after they produce them.

C. No one knows when turtles appear on the beach.

D. Mother turtles are as large as dinner plates.

【2】Kim Reich does research on where baby turtles go because she wants to _________.

A. help her teacher B. prove an idea

C. protect turtles D. become a scientist

【3】What does Karen Bjorndal’s research prove about green sea turtles?

A. the young live in the Bahamas Islands.

B. The young eat meat before turning to a diet of plants

C. They live in the open ocean for a lifelong time

D. They are the only sea turtles that live as plant eaters.

【4】What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. Finding out where young turtles grow.

B. Protecting this endangered sea animal.

C. Changing young turtles’ eating habits.

D. Living in the open ocean.

【題目】When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority（優(yōu)先）. This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.

Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values and the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.

Music provides a kind of perception（感知）that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.

The arts are forms of thoughts as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.

Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.

So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.

【1】According to Paragraph 1, students _______.

A. disagree with their parents on education

B. regard music as a way of entertainment

C. view music as an overlooked subject

D. prefer the arts to science

【2】In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an example to _______.

A. compare it with rock music

B. introduce American musical traditions

C. show music identifies a society

D. prove music influences people’s lifestyles

【3】According to the passage, the arts and science _______.

A.approach the world from different angles

B. explore different phenomena of the world

C. express people’s feelings in different ways

D .explain what it means to be human differently

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Music is an effective communication tool.

B. Music should be of top education priority.

C. Music makes students more imaginative

D. Music education deserves more attention.
