AFrom Japan to Indonesia, a certain kind of pop culture is very hot. But it doesn’t come from Hollywood—it’s Hallyu(韩流), the wave of Korean pop culture that has washed over Asi a. It has influenced everything from music to television. And th anks to the Internet and social media, it’s now spreading worldwide.South Korea produces all types of entertainment, the most po pular being music, soap operas and films. What makes Hallyu so hot in Asia? One reason is that its products are of high qu ality and much cheaper than western products. Another reaso n is that eastern cultures are similar to each other, although th ere are language differences.Korean pop music, or “K-pop”, ranks the first everywhere. Fans love the songs and the attractive stars. Companies like SM Entertainment, JYP Enter tainment and YG Entertainment help many K-pop stars, such as Super Junior, Big Bang and Rain, to succe ed. They are not only popular in Asia but also enjoy popularity in the West. In 2011, Big Bang’s mini-album Tonight reached the top 10 on U.S. Tunes Top Pop Alb ums. When SM Entertainment took their 2010 world tour to Lo s Angeles, only 30 percent of the 15,000 fans were Korean. H alf of the audience wasn’t even Asian!One important reason for the success of Hallyu is simply the I nternet. A little more than 10 years ago, Korean soap operas, movies and music reached the outside world quite slowly. The y began in Korea, and then gradually spread outward, appeari ng in its neighboring countries where local TV and radio companies would play them. Now they are played around the world online at the same time.YouTube is another major way to get Korean entertainment to fans everywhere. It is an inexpensive and valid way for artists to introduce their work to a larger audience. In 2010 the YouT ube channels for the top three Korean entertainment groups t ogether had nearly 800 million views from 225 different countr ies.21.Hallyu is very hot in Asia partly because________.A. languages in Asia are similar to each otherB. the culture is the most fashionable in the worldC. the quality of South Korea’s products is highD. South Korea’s products are the cheapest in Asia22.The author shows the popularity of K-pop in the West_______.A. in order of spaceB. by giving examplesC. by listing reaso nsD. in order of time23.What does the underlined word valid (in Para. 5) mean?A. slowB. successfulC. uselessD. necessary24.What would be the best title for the passage?A. K-pop Ranks the First EverywhereB. YouTube Helps Korean Cultures SpreadC. Korean Soap Operas Are Growing in PopularityD. Hallyu Makes Waves across the WorldBRecently,I came across an interesting article on the differences betwee n British English and American English. I had a lot of fun readi ng it and thinking of as many differences as I could as an Am erican.Their cars have “bonnets(发动机罩)”, while ourselves have “hoods”. They park their cars in a “car park” while we leave ours in a “parking lot”. Our “cookies”are their “biscuits”, while their “rubbers” are our “erasers”. Then there are the food words. Would you want to eat someth ing called “Toad in the Hole” or “Bangers and Mash” or “Spott ed Dick”?I’m here to report they are all very tasty. There are American equivalents(相等物),of course. We’ve got “Shoofly Pie”,“Chicken Fried Steak” and “Mississippi Mud Pie”. What they call “crisps” is what we call “potato chips” and when we ask for “chips” in England we will get what we know at home in America as “French fries”.They find it extremely exciting that we call the “toilet” the “bath room” and they really double over(弯腰) with laughter when we ask for the “restroom”. American la dies in England who ask for the “little girl’s room” or the “powd er room” will be met with blank stares. A “fag” is a “cigarette” i n the UK, which can lead to endless confusion for British visit ors looking for a cigarette in America. Americans on the other hand are endlessly confused by English signs put up over doo rways saying “Way Out”. We Americans walk on the sidewalk not the pavement. “Pavement” in America is the actual cemen t(水泥) the sidewalk is made of.25. What do British people call French Fries?A. Crisps.B. Chips.C. Shoofly.D. Mississippi Mud Pie.26. It would be difficult for British people to look for a cigarette in America because ______.A. American people don’t like giving others cigaretteB. it is not allowed to smoke in public in AmericaC. Americans don’t know a “fag” means a “cigarette?D. American people don’t smoke often27. What is the passage mainly about?A. Some differences between American English and British E nglish.B. Some similar habits between Americans and the British.C. Different communicating ways between Americans and th e British.D. Different body languages between Americans and the Briti sh.CFlorida is celebrating a big anniversary this year. Five hundre d years ago, on April 2, 1513, Spanish explorer Juan Ponce a rrived on the east coast of what is now Florida. Native Americ ans had been living there for centuries, but Ponce was the firs t European to set foot in what would become the United State s.According to legend, Ponce may have landed in Florida by mi stake. He is said to have been looking for an island called Bim ini and its Fountain(喷泉) of Youth. The magical fountain could supposedly make ol d people young again. Instead, Ponce landed on Florida and claimed it for Spain. He named it La Florida, or “flowery place”.Ponce explored more of Florida’s coasts over the next few m months. He later returned to Spain but went back to Florida in1521 to attempt to set up a colony. However, native America ns attacked him and his friends, and Ponce was killed. It wasn ’t until 1565 that Spain set up a successful colony at St. Augu stine on Florida’s east coast. It is the oldest European settlem ent in the U.S.Florida didn’t belong to the U.S. until Spain lost control. It was admitted to the U.S. as the 27th state in 1845.Today, Florida has one of the fastest-growing populations of any state. More than 19 million people call it home .It’s also popular with tourists. Last year, 89 million people visit ed the Sunshine State. These days, most visitors come in sea rch of fun in the sun on its sandy beaches and its theme parks , such as Disney World and Sea World.28. Ponce was killed_____.A. during his second stay in FloridaB. on his way to Flori daC. by his friendsD. after he set up a colony29. What can we learn about Ponce from Paragraph 2?A. He finally found Fountain of Youth.B. He could make old people young again.C. He hated Florida.D. He discovered Florida by accident.30. Five hundred years ago,_____.A. the United States was foundedB. Florida was discovered by human beingsC. the first European came to FloridaD. Spanish explorer Juan Ponce was born31. Which of the following is TRUE about Florida?A. There are 89 million people in Florida at present.B. Its population has been increasing in recent years.C. Tourists are losing interest in it.D. Its beaches are not well protected.DThe production of coffee beans is a huge,profitable business,but,unfortunately,full-sun production is taking over the industry and bringing about a lot of damage. The change in how coffee is grown from sha de-grown production to full-sun production endangers the very existence of certain anima ls and birds,and even disturbs the world's ecological balance.On a local level,the damage of the forest required by full-sun fields affects the area's birds and animals. The shade of t he forest trees provides a home for birds and other species (物种) that depend on the trees' flowers and fruits. Full-sun coffee growers destroy this forest home. As a result,many species are quickly dying out.On a more global level,the destruction of the rainforest for full-sun coffee fields also threatens (威胁) human life. Medical research often makes use of the fores ts' plant and animal life,and the destruction of such species could prevent researcher s from finding cures for certain diseases. In addition,new coffee-growing techniques are poisoning the water locally,and eventually the world's groundwater.Both locally and globally,the continued spread of full-sun coffee plantations (种植园) could mean the destruction of the rainforest ecology. The l oss of shade trees is already causing a slight change in the w orld's climate,and studies show that the loss of oxygen giving trees also lea ds to air pollution and global warming. Moreover,the new growing techniques are contributing to acidic (酸性的) soil conditions.It is obvious that the way much coffee is grown affects many a spects of life,from the local environment to the global ecology. But consum ers do have a choice. They can purchase shade-grown coffee whenever possible,although at a higher cost. The future health of the planet and mankind is surely worth more than an inexpensive cup of coff ee.32. Where does this text probably come from?A. A medical journal.B. An engineering textbook.C. A tourist guide.D. An agricultural magazine.33. What can we learn about full-sun coffee production from Paragraph 4?A. It limits the spread of new growing techniques.B. It slows down the loss of shade trees.C. It improves local soil conditions.D. It leads to air pollution and global warming.34. The purpose of the text is to_________.A. entertain D. persuadeB. advertiseC. instruct35. Which of the following shows the structure of the whole te xt?第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Greg Kloehn builds very small shelters that make life on the streets a little more comfortable. The structures offer the homeless some safety and protection from bad weather. Each little house also has wheels on the bottom so it can go wherever its owner goes.Greg Kloehn has given away at least 20 tiny houses. Several are on the roadside near an active railroad. On a recent day, Mr. Kloehn stops at one to visit Oscar Young. The two men hug. Inside his little shelter Mr. Young gets relief from cold nights on the streets. Mr. Kloehn also visits Sweet-Pea, another friend who also lives in one of the little homes the artist built. She says it keeps her safe and protects her belongings.In the mornings, Mr. Kloehn searches the streets for building materials. He gathers what he can and takes it to his studio. There, he puts the houses together. Empty coffee bags become roof material. A washing machine door and refrigerator part become windows. Nails, screws and the sticky glue hold all the pieces together. The artist also attaches a small electrical device to the house. The device is powered by the sun.Some of the people living on the streets once had normal houses of their own.

Vacation is a time for refreshment. In work, we are often called to think. Sometimes, it’s good to give our brains a rest. Without a break, we may not be able to perform up to our potential. This can be a problem, not only for the employee, but for the employer as well.―The main benefit of vacation is for the worker to come back energized,‖ says Weaver. ―If they haven’t had a break, then they’re not coming back with new energy. They haven’t had a chance to step back and get perspective (远景), and come back with renewed enthusiasm.‖Long working hours without a break, insecurity (不安) about one’s job, and other work-related worries can lead to burnout and stress. Humans can usually adapt to pressure, but not for a limitless amount of time.―It is a problem of relating good workers and having them loyal to the firm while they’re there,‖ says David Maume, PhD, professor of sociology at the University of Cincinnati. He says burnout can also affect employees’ productivity, creativity, and effecti veness.In addition, high levels of stress are likely to be precursors (前兆) to depression, which can hit both the employer and employee’s pocketbook. Even people who manage to remain productive at work can have problems. If they’re always at work, then they’re not with their family and friends. If they’re working while on vacation, for the time that they’re on the job, they’re not really present.An unbalanced emphasis on work can strain family and social life. When you come up for air, you may see that you’re alone, or that your relationships have gone on without you.5.What’s the main benefit of a vacation?A.The manager can be more creative.B.The worker can come back with new energy.C.The worker can adapt to pressure much better.D.The worker can step back and get more excited.6.The underlined word ―there‖ in the fourth pa ragraph probably refers to ________.A.the homeB.the vacationC.the companyD.the university 7.When a worker is always at work, he is likely to get more and more _________.A.dynamicB.productiveC.skillfulD.absent-minded 8.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.Why Workers Need VacationB.Why Workers Need New EnergyC.How to Deal with Daily PressureD.How to Spend Vacation Effectively【答案】5.B6.C7.D8.A【解析】5.细节理解题。
