cell phones produced by small workshops in southern china, became popular in the mainland market over the past few years. besides shanzhai electronic products, there are shanzhai movies, shanzhai stars and even a shanzhai spring festival gala, a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by cctv on chinese lunar new years eve. shanzhai has become a culture of its own, symbolizing anything that imitates something famous. the phenomenon has caused a public debate over whether it is healthy or sick being a copycat. in southwestern chinas chongqing municipality, a shanzhai-versionbirds nest woven by farmers with bamboo attracts wide attention and the shanzhai-version water cube is popular with tourists too. both are copies of the famous olympics buildings in beijing. xie xizhang, 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 naturally to attract people. in spite of its poor techniques and operation, “shanzhai culture meets the psychological demands of common people and could be a comfort to their minds, xie said. tian huiqun, a professor at beijing normal university, said that shanzhai culture never copies classic things, only trendy products. in that sense, its like a computer virus, multiplying without meaning. though controversial, shanzhai culture is becoming a widely accepted phenomenon. to the mainstream culture, the rise of “shanzhai” culture is a challenge as well as a motivation, said xie. tian said different kinds of cultures developing together is an ideal situation and it is for the public to choose. 61. the chinese word shanzhai may origin from .a. fake cell phones b. electronic products c. spring festival gala d. olympics buildings 62. the underlined word imitates is closest in meaning to .a. steals b. copies c. advertises d. cheats 63.according to the passage，shanzhai culture refers to .a .the action that a person imitates famous people b. anything that imitates something famous c. those similar names to famous brands d. products with poor techniques and quality 64. we can infer that the mainstream culture .a. will be held back by shanzhai culture b. will sooner or later be replaced by shanzhai culture c. may develop faster because of the challenging of shanzhai culture d. thinks nothing of the challenge of shanzhai culture 65. the passage mainly tells us that_. a. shanzhai culture will definitely fade out b. shanzhai culture-the mountain village culture c. shanzhai culture-the mainstream culture d. shanzhai culture takes on life of its owncsandstorms hit northwestern chinas gansu province and north chinas inner mongolia autonomous region on the first day this year. according to sun landong, a meteorologist with the lanzhou meteorology observatory, visibility was less than 100 meters in minqin, a gansu county near inner mongolia, because of sand. when visibility drops to less than 1 kilometer, it is called a sandstorm. the sandstorm in minqin blew up dust in neighboring towns, such as baiyin, wuwei, jinchang and lanzhou, the capital city of gansu province. dust-laden winds also swept into beijing. brought by northwesterly blowing at more than 20 meters per second, dust first reached the capitals suburbs at 7 a. m., downtown areas at 9 a. m. the winds, which died down during the night, brought the temperature down to as low as 8 0c below zero and many flights put off their planned time from the citys airport. it is quite rare for sandstorms, which are frequent between march and june, to happen in winter, when the earth is frozen. the sandstorms in gansu and inner mongolia do not necessarily mean there will be more of them in the spring than last year, when they were serious, but beijing is taking it very seriously. it is reported that beijing will spend 6 billion yuan (us 725 million) in preventing sandstorms in the capital and has already set up a special team to make sure what causes them.66. what is the main idea of the passage?a. sandstorms took place in gansu. b. sandstorms happened on the first day of the new year.c. sandstorms are very serious，compared to last year.d. experts are trying their best to determine the cause of the sandstorm formed this year 67.suppose the dust was 300 kilometers away from beijing，it would reach beijing about, hours later if it travels at a speed of 20 meters per second? a. 4.2 b. 1.5 c. 2.0 d. 2.5 68. why did sandstorms begin in the winter this year?a. because there was little snow this season. b. because a lot of trees have been cut down. c. because people took few measures to control them. d. it is not mentioned in the passage. 69. which of the following doesnt belong to the bad effect the sandstorms have done in beijing? a. the temperature fell. b. flights put off their time to take off. c. the air is dirty. d. people had three days off 70. the author wrote the passage to . a. tell us the environments are becoming worse and worse b. explain what measures people have taken to control sandstorms c. make people realize the need to protect the environment d. call on us to do what we can to save the earth.dcan people change their skin colour without suffering like pop king michael jackson? perhaps yes. scientists have found the gene that determines skin colour.the gene comes in two versions, one of which is found in 99 per cent of europeans. the other is found in 93 to 100 per cent of africans, researchers at pennsylvania state university report in the latest issue of science.scientists have changed the colour of a dark-striped zebrafish to uniform gold by inserting a version of the pigment(色素) gene into a young fish. as with humans, zebrafish skin colour is determined by pigment cells, which contain melanosomes(黑色素). the number, size and darkness of melanosomes per pigment cell determines skin colour.it appears that, like the golden zebrafish, light-skinned europeans also have a mutation(变异) in the gene for melanosome production. this results in less pigmented skin.however, keith cheng, leader of the research team, points out that the mutation is different in human and zebrafish genes.humans acquired dark skin in africa about 1.5 million years ago to protect bodies from ultra-violet rays of the sun(太阳光紫外线), which can cause skin cancer.but when modern humans leave africa to live in northern latitudes, they need more sunlight on their skin to produce vitamin d. so the related gene changes, according to cheng.asians have the same version of the gene as africans, so they probably acquired their light skin through the action of some other gene
