分析 文章大意:这篇文章主要讲述了江南style创作者Psy的故事.在过去的几个月里,Psy已经前往澳大利亚,加利福尼亚,纽约推广他的歌曲"江南style".自2012年7月15号初次公演以来,该音乐视频便受到了极大的欢迎.然而,这个音乐以及它的著名舞蹈的出现并非偶然.Psy说他们花了30个晚上模仿每一个动物,当他们正在跳蛇舞的时候看到电视中有一匹马在院中奔跑,于是便创作了骑马舞.Psy从小生长在江南地区,1996年在波士顿大学学习,然后他去美国伯利克音乐学院学习.然后他回到韩国创作了第一支单曲"鸟".现在他成为了国际明星,他说他需要让所有美国市场商人知道亚洲人没有什么不同,我们都是一样的.

解答 61.A.细节理解题.根据文章开头"Psy:The Man Behind"Gangnam Style"即"Psy:江南style背后的人",抓住两个关键点"Psy"和"江南style",一般文首文末易点题,抓住关键词能很快得出答案,所以Psy因为Gangnam Style 这首歌而出名,故选A.
62.D.细节理解题.根据"The music video has got more than 532million YouTube views since it premiered (初次公演) on July 15,2012and sets the Guinness world record for the most"liked"video in YouTube history."可知这个音乐视频自初次公演以来在YouTube已经有超过5亿三千2百万观看了,创造了新的吉尼斯世界纪录,成为了在YouTube历史上人们最喜欢的视频,故选D.
63.C.细节理解题.根据""We were doing snake dance when someone turned on the TV,and there was a horse running across a yard."So the horse dance was born."可知当他们正在跳蛇舞的时候,一个人打开电视,电视中一只马正跑过院子,所以有了骑马舞的诞生,故可知Psy从电视中得到了骑马舞的想法,故选C.
64.B.细节理解题.根据"And then he went off to the Berklee College of Music in America."可知他去美国伯利克音乐学院学习音乐,故选B.
65.C.细节理解题.根据"I didn't plan to be famous in America.I always thought that the American market looked on Asian artists as different people."可知他本不打算在美国出名,因为他认为美国人的市场中总将亚洲艺术家视为不同的人,故选C.

Jia Meng used to keep a diary in Chinese. But one year ago, the 14-year-old girl from Heilongjiang began to keep her diary in English, because Jia found her mother was reading her diary secretly. She changed the language because her mother can’t read English. “It’s like killing two birds with one stone.” said Jia. “My privacy (隐私)becomes safe and my English improves a lot.

Jia’s mother is not the only mom who reads her child’s diary. Recently, Renmin University of China had a national survey among over 23,000 parents. The results show that 40% of the parents read their children’s secrets. That’s why , like Jia, many teenagers try to find ways to protect their privacy.

Wu Lei, 15, of Shanxi, keeps a diary , too. But he doesn’t write it on paper. He writes online, which he thinks is perfectly safe because his parents know nothing about the Internet.

Lu Huan, 13, of Guangdong, said her parents always secretly listened to the talk between her friends and her on the telephone in their room. To solve this problem, Liu asked her parents to buy her a mobile phone.

“Parents want to know what is going on in their children’s lives,” said Shao Xiazhen, a teenage expert in Beijing, “But sometimes they go about it the wrong way.” Shao suggested to teenagers that instead of hiding their secrets, talking to parents is a better solution. If your parents know that you are safe, they’ll let you keep your secrets.

Today a Ferris wheel is usually 40 to 60 feet tall. That seems very high when you are on the top looking down. But the first Ferris wheel was 264 feet high – taller than a twenty-story building! Can you imagine the view from the top of that?

The first Ferris wheel was built for the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago. The people who planned the fair were looking for an attraction that would bring people to Chicago. George Ferris handed a drawing of a giant wheel that people could ride on. At first everyone laughed at his strange idea. But Mr. Ferris did not give up, and finally the idea was accepted. The ride opened in June of 1893.

Today’s Ferris wheels have 12 to 16 seats, which each carry 2 or 3 people. But that first one had 36 enclosed cars, each holding 60 passengers. When filled, it carried 2, 160 people. During that summer in Chicago, about 1.5 million people rode the Ferris wheel.

After the fair the ride was moved to a nearby amusement park built especially to show off the wheel. In 1904, it was moved again – to St. Louis for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. After the fair there, the wheel stood unused. In 1906 it was finally sold to a company for scrap metal (废铁).

Luckily a Chicago bridge builder, W.E. Sullivan, figured out how to make a smaller Ferris wheel that could easily be taken apart and put together. In 1906 he started the company that still makes many of the Ferris wheels used today.

But, whenever you ride one, remember that it all began with George Ferris’s strange idea!

1.How tall is a Ferris wheel today?

_________________________________________________________________

2.What was the first Ferris wheel built for?

_________________________________________________________________

3.What did people think of Ferris’s idea at first?

_________________________________________________________________

4.How many people rode the first Ferris wheel during the summer in 1893?

5.Compared with today’s Ferris wheels, what was the first Ferris wheel like?
