19.Gangnam Style is a song by the South Korean pop artist PSY.By the end of October 2012,the song reached the number one position online in 33 countries including Australia,Canada,F(xiàn)rance,Germany,and the United Kingdom.Although its reception in Japan remained cold,the song topped China's Baidu 500 download list.
"Gangnam Style"has become a new Korean expression that refers to a lifestyle in the Gangnam district of Seoul,where people are trendy and modern.The term was listed in Time's Weekly vocabulary list as a manner associated with luxurious lifestyles in Gangnam district of Seoul.PSY said in an interview that he had a sense of humor by pretending to be"Gangnam Style"when everything about the song,dance,looks,and the music video is far from being high class.
People who are actually from Gangnam never think that they are.So this song is actually tea sing(諷刺)such people as are eager to be famous,saying that they are"Gangnara Style",but in fact they are showy(炫耀的) and silly.
In the song,"Oppan Cangnam style"has been translated as"Big brother is Gangnam style",with PSY referring to himself,"Oppa",a Korean expression used by females to refer to an older male friend or older brother,which is also used by Korean-Pop fans to address their K-pop idols.
PSY added that his Korean fans have very large expectations about his dancing,so he felt a lot of pressure.In order to keep up with expectations,he stayed up late for about 30 nights to come up with the"Gangnam Style"dance.Along the way,he had tested various animal-inspired dance moves,including panda and kangaroo moves,before settling for the horse,which involves pretending to ride a horse.

分析 《江南Style》大紅大紫的今天,好像到處都可以聽到Gangnam Style的動感節(jié)奏,各類電視節(jié)目上可以看到有眾多的明星和大腕們在模仿鳥叔大跳騎馬舞,不過你對此又知道多少呢?通過本文你就可以有所了解.

解答 66.C 推理判斷題.從第一段中所描述的By the end of October 2012,the song reached the number one position online in 33 countries including Australia,Canada,F(xiàn)rance,Germany,and the United Kingdom.可知《江南Style》已經(jīng)在世界各地變得非常受人歡迎.所以答案選C.
67.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.從文章第二段的"Gangnam Style"has become a new Korean expression that refers to a lifestyle in the Gangnam district of Seoul,where people are trendy ad modern.可知,A項為正確答案.
68.C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段中的So this song is actually teasing such people as are keen to be famous,saying that they are"Gangnam Style",but in fact they are showy and silly.可知這首歌實際上是想調(diào)侃江南區(qū)那些假裝時尚而并非如此的人.所以答案選C.
69.D 推理判斷題.本文并沒有直接對歌曲的曲調(diào)進(jìn)行說明或描述,但是根據(jù)文章的描述,《江南Style》之所以大受歡迎,除了騎馬舞動作之外,其調(diào)侃江南區(qū)的人采用的非常詼諧、滑稽的曲調(diào)也是其中的原因之一.所以選D.
70.D細(xì)節(jié)理解題.文章最后一段介紹了韓國歌手PSY創(chuàng)作《江南Style》中騎馬舞的艱苦付出.雖然曾經(jīng)嘗試了許多動物的動作,但文章最后的…before settling for the horse,which involves pretending to ride a horse.說明了他的舞蹈中包含了許多騎馬的動作,故選D.C項并非最后一段的細(xì)節(jié),同時也與文章倒數(shù)第二段的內(nèi)容不符.

點評 閱讀理解題測試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力,要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系,對未說明的趨勢或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷;或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點理論,對文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋.考生首先要仔細(xì)閱讀短文,完整了解信息,準(zhǔn)確把握作者觀點.

Brain Drain
Imagine you are sitting in your living room and out of surprise you get a call from a friend.He tells you that he's gotten the student visa and is going to study abroad for higher education.His parents may feel it a privilege that their son is guaranteed to have a bright future and unbelievable job opportunities.(71)A  While many people believe that immigration is a personal choice that must be understood and respected,others have realized a serious problem-brain drain.Brain drain refers to the flow of highly skilled and educated people,such as doctors,engineers,scientists from less developed countries to developed countries. Brain drain has become a common social problem.(72)F These reasons are"Push"factors (因素) and"Pull"factors.The push factors include low wages and lack of satisfactory working and living conditions,and so on.The pull factors,however,include higher pay and better working conditions,better job opportunities,as well as better research equipment.
As we can see,many educated people are heading for richer countries,seeking higher wages and better working conditions.(73)D It reduces the number of creative people who can contribute to the development of their country.Meanwhile,with more successful businessmen taking their money abroad,their countries are missing an opportunity of wealth creation.(74)B Besides these economic effects,the brain drain has also social negative effects,such as the loss of improvement in research and technique.
Therefore,measures must be taken in less developed countries to avoid brain drain.(75)E   Social developments like health services and education opportunities also need improving.Otherwise,less developed countries will face an uncertain future.
A.Even you may start to admire his plans.
B.This also reduces government tax income.
C.Why should their motivations be seriously considered?
D.This of course has serious negative effects on their own countries.
E.There should be more job opportunities for highly educated people.
F.So it is important to find out the proper reasons behind the brain drain.
G.Most of the measures taken so far have not reduced the effects of brain drain.

11.Sadness is unpleasant,and in a society where personal happiness is prized above all else,there is little tolerance for falling in despair.Especially now we've got drugs for getting rid of sad feelings-whether it's after losing a job,the break-up of a relationship or the death of a loved one.So it's no surprise that more and more people are taking them.
But is this really such a good idea?A growing number of voices from the world of mental health research are saying it isn't.They fear that the increasing tendency to treat normal sadness as a disease is playing fast and loose.Sadness,they argue,serves a useful purpose-and if we lose it,we lose out.Yet many psychiatrists insist not.Sadness has a nasty habit of turning into depression they warn.Even when people are sad for good reason,they should take drugs to make themselves feel better.
So who is right?Is sadness something we cannot live without or something horrible never to touch?
There are lots of ideas about why feeling sad should become part of human life.It may be a kind of self-protection,as other primates (靈長類) also show signs of sadness.A losing monkey that doesn't show sadness after it loses a fight may be seen as continuing to challenge the winning monkey-and that could result in death.
In humans sadness has a further function:we may display sadness as a form of communication.By acting sad,we tell other community members that we need support.
Then there is the idea that creativity is connected to dark moods.There are plenty of great artists,writers and musicians who have suffered from depression or disorder.Scientists found that people with signs of depression performed better at a creative task,and negative moods make people think deeply over the unhappy experience,which allows creative processes to come to the front.There is also evidence that too much happiness can be bad for your career.A doctor found that people who scored 8 out of 10 on a happiness test were more successful in income and education than 9s or 10s.The happiest people lose their willingness to make changes to their lives that may benefit them.
53.The underlined word"this"refers toA.
A.taking medicine                                  
B.falling in despair    
C.losing a job                                       
D.feeling sad
54. The author believes sadness isC.
A.a(chǎn) good thing for people's health         
B.something horrible never to touch
C.a(chǎn) necessary function of humans'
D.a(chǎn)lways to be treated as depression
55.Some animals show their sadness in order toB.
A.cheat their enemy                      
B.protect themselves 
C.comfort the loser                      
D.challenge the winner
56.We can infer from the last paragraph thatB.
A.people with great creativity tend to be happier   
B.unhappy experiences contribute to a greater career
C.too much happiness can be bad for your career
D.the happiest people are the most successful ones.
