Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AAlmost all aspects of American pop culture such as McDonalds, American films, and blue jeans can be seen in Brazil. My father, who had leftist orientated ideas, used to say that all kinds of American cultural icons(图标) were distasteful. When I was a child, it was forbidden to drink coke and to chew chewing gum in my house. Both actions were representative of the American control to my father. Incongruently(不相称地), he had an American Ford car.My father died 32 years ago, and I wonder how he would feel seeing his daughter politically centered, a diet coke addict, sometimes chewing Wrigleys juicy fruit gum, and living in the United States. He didnt live long enough to see this and the spread of American culture in the last decades. He would probably be convinced that American pop culture was swamping Brazil.I think it is difficult to stop American cultural influence. Many years ago, there was an attempt to reduce the number of American films in Brazil. The government passed a law that all cinemas should show a higher percentage of Brazilian movies. However, we didnt have enough good films, or even enough films, to show. So, in spite of government subsidies(补助金), this measure failed soon after.American music is, of course, present in Brazil. Everybody knows about Madonna, Michael Jackson, and other icons of American music; but Brazilian music has never lost its first place in the Brazilians preferences. I read once that my country and some Asian countries are among the few which listen mostly to their own music.I think we dont need to be afraid of cultural free trade. People tend to be selective, and not everything that is imported is necessarily bad. Our native Brazilians also protest against the control of imported culture in their lives while they wear watches and shorts and use tape recorders. We cant avoid the process, but we could learn to be more critical and as selective as possible.56. American cultural icons in Paragraph 1 refer to _.A. McDonaldsB. blue jeansC. American filmsD. things with American culture57. In the authors opinion, if his father lived now, he would _.A. hate the American cultural icons as beforeB. spread the American culture in the last decadesC. feel proud seeing his daughter politically centered, a diet coke addictD. probably be convinced that American pop culture was swamping Brazil58. From the third paragraph, we know _.A. in Brazil, its hard to stop American cultural influenceB. the Brazil government encouraged the authors father to do soC. the Brazil governments measure brought enough good films for its peopleD. after the government passed a law, there was no longer American film in Brazil59. From the passage, we can infer that _.A. Brazilian music is not as popular as beforeB. everything that is imported is necessarily badC. most Brazilians love to listen to American musicD. as for imported culture, we could learn to be more critical and selective60. What is the authors attitude towards imported American culture?A. Critical. B. Sceptical.C. Objective. D. Disapproving.BMany parents of preschoolers(学龄前儿童) struggle with their childrens fears of real and imaginary creatures. A new study offers some ideas on how they can better manage their childrens worries. The study, which was carried out by researchers at the University of California, Davis, appears in the November/December 2020 issue of the journal Child Development.Researchers studied about 50 4， 5， and 7yearolds in an effort to identify coping strategies that can be carried out by children. The children listened to a series of short illustrated(有插图的)stories. Each story featured a child alone or with another person who came into contact with something that looked like a real or an imaginary frightening creature, such as a snake or a ghost. Children were asked to predict how intensely afraid each of the children in the stories were, to give a reason why each child felt that way, and to offer a way to help the child in the story feel less afraid.In situations in which a childs fear was caused by real creatures, the researchers found, children would rather do something than think positive thoughts. In these situations, boys more often suggested fighting, while girls more often wanted to avoid the creature. They also found that between ages 4 and 7, children show more understanding that peoples thoughts and beliefs can both cause and reduce fear. While preschoolers tended to suggest pretending the imaginary creature was friendly, older children tended to suggest reminding themselves what the reality was. Therefore, the researchers say, preschoolers may benefit from seeing things in_a_more_positive_light,_while older children may do better when they focus on whats real and whats not.“These results should help parents by reminding them to keep in mind their childrens ageappropriate abilities when helping them deal with their fears, particularly fears of imaginary creatures，” according to the researchers.61. The text is mainly about _.A. a study on preschoolers fears of real and imaginary creaturesB. a study on childrens ageappropriate abilitiesC. short illustrated stories told to preschoolersD. childrens better understanding of peoples thoughts and beliefs62. According to the researchers, the results of the study should _.A. help parents deal with their fearsB. help parents better deal with their childrens fearsC. improve childrens ageappropriate abilitiesD. remind children to help parents win over fears63. The underlined words “in a more positive light” in Paragraph 3 most probably mean “_”.A. with a brighter light B. in a more friendly atmosphereC. at a straighter angle D. with a more positive attitude64. Girls attitude towards the situations of a childs fear caused by real creatures generally is that they are _.A. brave to fight with real creaturesB. afraid of getting into contact with real creaturesC. very interested in touching real creaturesD. very confident of the friendliness of the real creatures65. What can we learn from the third paragraph?A. Children sense that peoples thoughts and beliefs can cause and reduce fear.B. Children would rather do nothing than think about the situations positively.C. Childrens fear of creatures is related to their ageappropriate abilities and sex.D. Preschoolers parents worry about their childrens fears of creatures.C(CNN) Syrian military airstrikes killed more than 20 people in a province bordering Turkey, an opposition group said Saturday.
