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.第5页 共12页 To the mainstream (主流的) culture, the rise of “Shanzhai” culture is a challenge and a motivation (动力). People believe different kinds of cultures developing together is a perfect situation and it is for the public to choose. 56. The Chinese word “Shanzhai” may have started with _. A. fake cell-phonesB. electronic products C. Spring Festival Gala D. Olympic buildings57. According to the passage, “Shanzhai” culture refers to _.A. the action that a person imitates famous people B. products with poor techniques and qualityC. anything that imitates something famous D. those similar names to famous brands58. We can infer that the mainstream culture _. A. is held back by “Shanzhai” culture B. is the challenge of “Shanzhai” culture C. will be replaced by “Shanzhai” culture D. may develop faster because of the challenge of “Shanzhai” culture59. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage? A. “Shanzhai” culture will definitely disappear B. “Shanzhai” culture takes on life of its own C. “Shanzhai” culture the mainstream culture D.“Shanzhai” culture the mountain village culture BIf we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago，we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day，we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten, because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country，but often it was destroyed by fire or in a warSometimes there was never any written record at all, because the people of that time and place did not know how to writeFor example，we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4，000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after themBut we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to writeSometimes, of course，even if the people cannot write，they may know something of the pastThey have heard about it from older people，and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings，and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the pastThis we may call “remembered history”Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is，because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writingBut where there are no written records，such spoken stories are often very helpful60. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?第6页 共12页A. “Remembered history”，compared with written history，is less reliableB. Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human historyC. A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer many questionsD. Where there are no written records, there is no history61.We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because _A. there was nothing worth being written down at that timeB .the people there ignored the importance of keeping a recordC. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fireD. the people there did not know how to write62.“Remembered history” refers to _A. history based on a persons imaginationB.stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouthC.songs and dances about the most important eventsD.both B and C63.The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if the ancient people had _A. kept a written record of every past event B. not burnt their written records in warsC. told exact stories of the most important happenings D. made more songs and dancesC第7页 共12页Most of us know about the Nobel Prize, especially the Nobel Peace Prize, but few of us know anything about the man who set them up. His name was Alfred Nobel. He was a great scientist and inventor himself. Besides, he had a big business. His business may surprise you. He made and sold explosives. His companies even made and sold weapons. Isnt this something that surprises you? The man who made money from weapons should set up the Peace Prize? Though Alfred Nobel had a lot of money from weapons, he hated war. He hoped that there would be no war in the world. He was one of the richest in Europe. When he died in 1896, he left behind him a lot of money and his famous will. According to his will, most of his money was placed in a fund.

Alfred Nobel wanted the winners to be chosen for their work, not the country they came from. Alfred Nobel had given his whole life to his studies and work and to the benefits of mankind. He made money all by his own efforts, but he left the world share his wealth. His inventions and wealth stay with the world forever.64. Alfreds business was _.

This means doing everything that there is to do in the theatre and occasionally acting in very small parts. It is very hard work indeed，the hours are long and the salary is tinyOf course，some people have remarkable chances which lead to fame and success without this long and hard trainingConnie Pratt，for example，was just an ordinary girl working in a bicycle factoryA film producer happened to catch sight of her one morning waiting at a bus stop，as he drove past in his carHe stopped and got out to speak to the girlHe asked if she would like to go to the film studio to do a test，and she thought he was joking. Then she got angry and said she would call the police. It took the producer twenty minutes to convince Connie that he was serious. The test was successful. And within a few weeks, she was playing the leading part opposite one of the most famous actors of the day, but chances like this happen once in a blue moon .68. From the very beginning，the author puts it clearly that acting is a profession _ A. sought after by too many B. too difficult for young peo
