    When you think of American culture, what first comes to your mind? McDonald’s? Coca Cola? Levi’s? Disneyland? Michael Jordan? Julia Roberts? Many people   小题1:  American culture is a   小题2: of popular symbols like these. Actually, these symbols are only one    小题3:  part of American culture—pop culture.
    What is pop culture? Well, pop is   小题4:   for popular. The origins of pop culture can often be traced to popular movies, television shows, music stars and sports figures.

    American pop culture has spread around the world. One major reason for its  小题9:  is that English is a universal language.

Besides, America is a world   小题12:  in movies, music and magazines. The kind of American culture   小题13:  in those media is pop culture. Finally, pop culture is easy to package and to   小题14: . For that reason, it is easy to “sell” to the world.
    Many people believe that American pop culture is what American is all   小题15:  . Does pop culture   小题16:   the true culture of America? Yes and no. Pop culture does 小题17:  a portion (比例) of American society — especially the   小题18:  young people that are tuned in to the media. But American pop culture is faddish (流行一时的) and    小题19:   .

    Over the past few decades, more and more countries have opened up the markets, increasingly transforming the world economy into one free-flowing global market. The question is：Is economic globalization   50  for all?
    According to the World Bank, one of its chief supporters, economic globalization has helped reduce   51  in a large number of developing countries. It quotes one study that shows increased wealth   52  to improved education and longer life in twenty-four developing countries as a result of integration (融合) of local economies into the world economy. Home to some three billion people, these twenty-four countries have seen incomes   53  at an average rate of five percent—compared to two percent in developed countries.
    Those who   54  globalization claim that economies in developing countries will benefit from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses.   55 , small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in   56  open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet.
    Critics take a different view, believing that economic globalization is actually   57  the gap between the rich and poor. A study carried out by the U.N.-sponsored World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization shows that only a few developing countries have actually   58  from integration into the world economy and that the poor, the uneducated, unskilled workers, and native peoples have been left behind.   59 , they maintain that globalization may eventually threaten emerging businesses. For example, Indian craftsmen who currently seem to benefit from globalization because they are able to   60  their products may soon face fierce competition that could put them out of   61 . When large-scale manufacturers start to produce the same goods, or when superstores like Wal-Mart move in, these small businesses will not be able to   62  and will be crowded out.
    One thing is certain about globalization—there is no   63 . Advances in technology combined with more open policies have already created an interconnected world. The   64  now is finding a way to create a kind of globalization that works for the benefit of all.                                                  (347 words)

    For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans.  小题1:  Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today, Strauss’ invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world.
    Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829.     小题2:   He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847. Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother’s dry goods business. This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention. After the gold rush of 1849, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortune.
    Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals. Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners. At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth.     小题3:  When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners. These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more.
    In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets(铆钉). This made the pants last a long time. Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent.    小题4:  
    By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion.
     小题5:  The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world.
    A．As a young boy, he moved with his family to the United States.
    B．Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable.
    C．He did and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since.
    D．However, he did not get much business for those products.
    E. He also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry.
    F. Since they were invented by Levi Strauss, they have become a symbol of American consumer culture.
    G. As the business grew, Strauss got much money from it.

    Online clothes shoppers will be told exactly what size is best. for them using new software which combines with their web camera or smart phone to form a“3D tape measure”.
    Scientists from Surrey University and design experts from the London College of Fashion are developing a program which can take precise (精确的) waist, hip, chest and other measurements from camera images.
    Using the person’s height as a starting point，the software will be able to build up a 3D image and estimate their size at various different points on the body, based on their overall proportions.
    The result will be a more accurate sizing guide than previous systems based on waist size or a “small／medium／large”scale, which rely on limited measurements and the buyer’s perception of their own body size.
    Shoppers and retailers(零售商)who choose to sign up for the project could save millions of pounds a year in postage costs by removing the need to order multiple sizes of the same garment(服装) and send back ill-fitting clothes, researchers claimed.
    The project, sponsored by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council(EPSRC), is expected to be brought to market within two years.
    After choosing an item, the shopper will activate the software, enter their height, stand in front of their webcam or smart phone in their underwear and take a photograph.
    The software will not store or transmit the image to the internet, but will use it to judge the person’s dimensions at various points on their body.
    Philip Delamore of the London College of Fashion said：“The potential benefits for the fashion industry and for shoppers are huge. Currently, it’s common for online shoppers to order two or three different sizes of the same item of clothing at the same time, as they’re unsure which one will fit best.”
    小题1:What is the essential part of a 3D tape measure?
    A．a software B．a webcam
    C．a microphone D．a smart phone
    小题2:What can we learn about the 3D tape measure?
    A．It will store or transmit the image to the internet.
    B．It is based on the buyer’s perception of their size.
    C．It will be a co-working production.
    D．It uses a person’s weight as a starting point.
    小题3:Compared with the traditional sizing system, a 3D tape measure is_______.
    A．quicker B．more precise
    C．more beautiful D．more vivid
    小题4:How can the 3D tape measure benefit online shoppers?
    A．Online shoppers will get their ordered garment in time.
    B．Online shoppers will get their ordered garment more quickly.
    C．Online shoppers will get an ordered garment of high quality.
    D．Online shoppers will get an ordered garment to their measure.
    小题5:What is the right order for a shopper to form a 3D tape measure?
    ①to take a photo with a webcam
    ②to activate the software
    ③to enter his／her height
    ④to judge his size by analyzing his image
    A．①②③④B．②①③④C．②③①④D．②③④①

    Nuclear­powered aircraft carriers are considered one of the most important marine weapons in the 20th century. So far, only two countries in the world, the USA and France, have ever produced them. But these fearful fighting machines are about to enter Asia.
    The US Navy said last month that one of its nine nuclear­powered aircraft carriers will be sent to Japan to replace the diesel(柴油)­powered carrier Kitty Hawk in 2008. In an agreement on October 30, the two countries also planned to level up their military (军事的) cooperation and the USA called for Japan to take a larger role in alliance (联盟)military moves.
    It will be the first time that a nuclear­powered carrier is based in Japan. Bombed by US forces in World War Ⅱ at Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan is the only world country to have been attacked by a nuclear weapon. Therefore, the citizens are highly sensitive to where nuclear­powered weapons are based.
    “A radiation leak at Yokosuka would kill 100,000 people as far away as Tokyo, and could cause billions of dollars in damage，” said Masahiko Goto, leader of a protest group in Yokosuka. His group has collected more than 300,000 signatures of people across Japan opposed to the nuclear carrier.
    The 44­year­old Kitty Hawk, the US Navy's oldest active ship, has been based in Yokosuka since 1998. It had returned to the US to be decommissioned(废弃核武器) in 2008. The new carrier will travel faster, be capable of supporting longer operations and carry with it the Navy's most modern technology.
    Experts pointed that this change is not only to strengthen the US­Japan military alliance but also to keep the military power of China and North Korea within limits. However, even Japanese experts don't believe that the two countries are threats to the region.
    “There is no need for Japan to have a nuclear carrier as defense，” said Tetsuo Maeda, an international relations professor at Tokyo International University. He said that the change of ship indicates an increased military capability in the region, much more than what is needed.
    小题1:With such a powerful weapon to enter its country, Japanese citizens ________.
    A．are aware of its benefits to the country
    B．are anxious about its potential danger
    C．are curious about the advanced technology
    D．are against where the carrier will be based
    小题2:The replacement of the aircraft carrier is intended to________.
    A．set up a kind of base in Japan
    B．strengthen the US­Japan military alliance
    C．show Japan's greater military capability
    D．get rid of the dated marine weapon
    小题3:From the story, we learn that________.
    A．no other countries except the USA and France possess aircraft carriers
    B．Japan has long planned to increase its military capability with new weapons
    C．Japan will be the first country in Asia to have a nuclear aircraft carrier
    D．Japan will be the third country to produce a nuclear­powered aircraft carrier
    小题4:By his remark in the last paragraph, the professor means that________.
    A．he is quite confident of their military defense
    B．he is completely opposed to a new nuclear carrier
    C．what is needed is far more than a nuclear carrier
    D．it is unnecessary to guard against the two countries

    The French word renaissance means rebirth. It was first used in 1855 by the historian Jules Michelet in his History of France，then adopted by historians of culture，by art historians，and eventually by music historians，all of whom applied it to European culture during the 150 years spanning 1450－1600.The concept of rebirth was appropriate to this period of European history because of the renewed interest in ancient Greek and Roman culture that began in Italy and then spread throughout Europe. Scholars and artists of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries wanted to restore the learning and ideals of the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome. To these scholars this meant a return to human—as opposed to spiritual values. Fulfillment in life—as opposed to concern about an afterlife—became a desirable goal，and expressing the entire range of human emotions and enjoying the pleasures of the senses were no longer frowned(皱眉头) on. Artists and writers now turned to secular(不朽的)as well as religious subject matter and sought to make their works understandable and appealing.
    These changes in outlook deeply affected the musical culture of the Renaissance period—how people thought about music as well as the way music was composed，experienced，discussed，and circulated. They could see the architectural monuments，sculptures(雕塑)，plays，and poems that were being rediscovered，but they could not actually hear ancient music—although they could read the writings of classical philosophers，poets，essayists，and music theorists that were becoming available in translation. They learned about the power of ancient music to move the listener and wondered why modern music did not have the same effect. For example，the influential religious leader Bernardino Cirillo expressed disappointment with the learned music of his time. He urged musicians to follow the example of the sculptors，painters，architects，and scholars who had rediscovered ancient art and literature.
    The musical Renaissance in Europe was more a general cultural movement and state of mind than a specific set of musical techniques. Furthermore，music changed so rapidly during this century and a half—though at different rates in different countries—that we cannot define a single Renaissance style.
    小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．The musical compositions that best illustrate the developments during the European Renaissance.
    B．The musical techniques that were in use during the European Renaissance.
    C．The European Renaissance as a cultural development that included changes in musical style.
    D．The ancient Greek and Roman musical practices used during the European Renaissance.
    小题2:The underlined word “now” in Paragraph 1 refers to ________.
    A．1855
    B．the period of the Renaissance
    C．the time of the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome
    D．the time at which the author wrote the passage
    小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that thinkers of the Renaissance were seeking a rebirth of ________.
    A．spirituality in everyday life
    B．communication among artists across Europe
    C．a cultural emphasis on human values
    D．religious themes in art that would accompany the traditional secular themes
    小题4:What can be inferred about the music of ancient Greece and Rome?
    A．Its effect on listeners was described in a number of classical texts.
    B．It was played on instruments that are familiar to modern audiences.
    C．It expressed more different ideals than classical sculpture，painting and poetry.

    They say that Mexico is a country no one ever leaves. Every year, millions of tourists pass through. And Mexicans happily warn that a part of them will remain behind forever. Most visitors are vacationing North Americans who go up on the brilliant beaches of Cancun, Acapulco, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta. The beaches, of course, are among the world’s best ----but those who venture (冒险) inland are rewarded with the true soul of Mexico.
    And it is a big soul. The Republic of Mexico is vast, consisting of nearly two million square miles of coastline, desert, rain forest, mountains, and rich plains. From the American borderlands of the wide, agriculturally rich north, the country narrows gently as it sweeps south and east. The two main mountain ranges(山脊), the Sierra Madre Occidental and the Sierra Madre Oriental, hug the west and east, finally merging（融入） into the volcanically active central highlands and the capital, Mexico City - the most populous city in the world. Further south, the country narrows to only 100 miles, then broadens again before reaching the Guatemalan border. There are two major peninsulas (半岛) in Mexico: the Baja Peninsula to the west and the Yucatan peninsular to the east.
    The population is about 106 million. and the generosity (慷慨大方) of the Mexican people is unsurpassed. Knowing a few simple sentences in Spanish will win hearts.
    Mexico has been blessed with an unusually temperate (适度的) climate year-round. The most important thing to remember is that the Mexican summer is also the rainy season, although the rain rarely lasts more than a few hours, and typically arrives in the late afternoon. Extremes(极端)are present only in the North and in Baja, both of which have deserts where the temperature leaps above 100F. Mexico City has a year-round temperature in the high 80s. while the coasts usually stay in the mid-90s. Night time temperatures fall somewhat, but rarely break down below a comfortable 60F.
