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, Shanzhaiculture 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.41. The Chinese Word“Shanzhai”may have its origin in _.A. fake cellphones B. electronic products C. Spring Festival Gala D. Olympics buildings 42. A. The underlined word “imitates” is closest in meaning to _.A. steals B. copies C. advertises D. cheats43. A. According to the passage, “Shanzhai” culture refers to _.A. The action that a person imitates famous people B. anything that imitates something famousC. those similar names to famous brand D. products with poor techniques and quality44. A. 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”cultureD. thinks nothing of the challenge of “Shanzhai”culture45. Which of the following might be the best title of passage? A.“Shanzhai”culture will definitely fade outB.“Shanzhai”culture the mountain village cultureC.“Shanzhai”culture the mainstream cultureD.“Shanzhai”culture takes on life of its own B The sleep debt is the difference between the amount of sleep you should get and the amount you actually get. It grows every time we skim some extra minutes off our nightly sleep. “People accumulate sleep debts gradually,” says Dr. William Dement, founder of the Stanford University Sleep Clinic. Studies show that such short-term lack of sleep leads to a foggy brain, impaired vision, worsened driving and troubled remembering. Long- term effects include obesity, insulin(胰岛素) resistance, and heart disease. A 2007 survey by the National Sleep Foundation reports that Americans sleep for 6.9 hours per night, 6.8 hours on average during the week and 7.4 hours on the weekends. Generally, experts recommend eight hours of sleep per night, although some people may require only six hours of sleep while others need ten. That means on average, Americans lose one hour of sleep each night more than two full weeks of sleep every year. The good news is that the sleep debt can be repaid with some work, though it wont happen when you sleep longer for once. Adding an extra hour or two hours of sleep a night is the way to catch up. For the long-term sleep shortage, it takes a few months to get back to natural sleeping pattern, says Lawrence J. Epstein, medical director of the Harvard Sleep Health Center. Go to bed when you are tired, allowing your body to wake you in the morning, with no alarm clock. You may find yourself uncomfortable at the beginning of the recovery cycle. Expect to bank to ten hours shut-eye per night. As the days pass, however, the amount of sleeping time will gradually decrease. For recovery sleep, both the hours of the sleep and the intensity(强度) of the sleep are important. The most refreshing sleep occurs during deep sleep, which is generally considered a restorative (促使健康的) period for the brain. And when you sleep for more hours, you allow your brain to spend more time relaxing. As you reduce the sleep debt, your body will come to rest at a sleeping pattern that is specifically right for you. Sleep researcher believe that genes determine our individual sleeping patterns. So you cant train yourself to be a “short sleeper”. A 2005 study in the journal Sleep found that the more tired we get, the less tired we feel.46. Which of the following is NOT the side effect of sleep debt?A. Putting on weight. B. Having a bad memory. C. Having trouble eating food. D. A temporary loss of eyesight.47. We learn from the 2007 survey that _.A. Americans generally dont have enough sleepB. Americans sleep too much over the weekendsC. everyone is supposed to sleep for eight hoursD. most people lack two weeks of sleep every year48. What should we do to make up for the sleep shortage?A. We should go to sleep when we are free.B. We should sleep for at least ten hours every day.C. We should sleep for one or two more hours at night.D. We should sleep day and night during the holidays.49. Why is the intensity of the sleep important to us?A. Our brain is resting when we are sleeping deeply. B. Deep sleep helps our brain to fully recover.C. We feel more relaxed when sleeping soundly.D. Short sleep makes our body more refreshing.50. The author seems to believe that _.A. the more tired we are getting, the more sleep we need B. the sleeping patterns have nothing to do with our genesC. it is possible for us to reduce our sleep time by trainingD. it is wise for us to adapt to our natural sleeping patterns.C Henry Fords parents left Ireland during the potato famine and settled in the Detroit area in the.1840s. Ford was born in what is now Dearborn, Michigan. His formal education was limited, but even as a youngster, he was handy with machinery. He worked for the Detroit Edison Company, advancing from machine-shop apprentice to chief engineer.In 1893, Ford built a gasoline engine, and within a few years, an automobile, still a novelty item of the rich or do-it-yourself engineers. In 1899, Ford left Edison to help run the Detroit Automobile Company. Cars were still built essentially one at a time. Ford hoped to incorporate ideas from other industries-standardized parts as Eli Whitney has used with gun manufacturing, or assembly line methods George Eastman tried in photo processing -to make the process more efficient. This idea struck others in his field as crazy, so before long, Ford quit Detroit Automobile Company and began to build his own racing cars. They were good enough to attract backers and even partners, and in 1903, he set up the Ford Motor Company.He still met resistance to his ideas for mass production of a car the average worker could afford. But he stuck to his goal and finally in 1908, began production of the Model T. Ford gradually adapted the production line until in 1913, his plant incorporated the first moving assembly line. Demand for the affordable car soared even as production went up: before Ford stopped making the model T in 1927, 15 million had been sold, and Ford had become the leading auto manufacturer in the country. In addition to the moving assembly line, Ford revolutionized the auto industry by increasing the pay and decreasing the hours of his employees, ensuring he could get enough and the best workers. During the Model T era, Ford bought out his shareholders so he had completed financial control of the now vast corporation. He continued to innovate, competitors (growing more powerful though fewer in number) began to cut into Fords market share.Ford and his family spent a food deal of time and money on charitable work. They set up a historical museum in Greenfield Village, Michigan, and most notably set up the Ford Foundation, which provides grants for research, education, and development.“A bore (讨厌鬼) is a fellow who opens his mouth and puts his feats (技艺) in it,” said Ford 51. The main idea of the first paragraph is _.A. Fords education B. Fords family C. Fords quickness to learn D. Fords interest and handiness in machinery52. Which of the following statements is right?A. Ford created the idea of standardized parts in industryB. Ford is the first to imply production line in manufacturingC. Ford is the first to create the idea of mass production of a car affordable for the average workers.D. Ford is the first to make cars.53. The reason why Ford left Detroit Automobile Company probably was that _.A. he was fired for his crazy ideaB. he hoped to carry out his own idea on car-makingC. people didnt like to work with himD. he wanted to set up his own car factory54. According to the passage, Henry Ford can be probably described as a man of _.A. stubbornness B. C. caution C. determination D. well-education55. Which of the following quotes means most similarly with the last sentence of the passage?A. You cant build a reputation on what you are going to do.B. Traditions are group efforts to keep the unexpected from happening.C. The greatest thing you can do is surprise yourselfD. For us, there is only the trying. The rest is not our business.第二节信息匹配(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。首先，请阅读以下课程信息：A.
