试题【As we all know “ The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.” and “  26  eve】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
The influence of America is increasing in my country. Spanish people drink Coca Cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies, listen to American music, and eat fast food, and they do these things every day.
I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because people are often influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the programs and documentaries (纪录片) we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movies we go to see are made in Hollywood.
In the last few years, the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies. Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe.
American culture is a part of Spanish life now. It’s certain that many things from America are as much a part of people’s lives as Spanish things. For example, Coca Cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. I’ve known about Coca Cola for my whole life.
However, it’s different with Western fast food. For example, I don’t think McDonald’s is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the lifestyle of the Spanish people. The Spanish people normally eat at home.
On the other hand, maybe McDonald’s hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. It’s true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonald’s, and it is more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults. In any case, it’s obvious that American culture is becoming more and more a part of our lives every day.
小题1:From the first paragraph we can know that ____.
A.the influence of America on Spain can be found everywhere
B.most Spanish people don’t like to listen to their own music
C.fast food spreads from Spain to the United States
D.some Spanish actors go to America to improve their acting skills
小题2:Why did the government set some rules for the films shown in Spain?
_________.
A.To protect foreign culture in Spain.
B.To earn more money from Spanish films.
C.To limit the number of foreign movies.
D.To unite the European Community.
小题3:Why does the author think that McDonald’s is not as successful as it is in other countries? ______
A.Its fast food contains too much fat.
B.He thinks it is unhealthy.
C.Spanish people seldom eat out.
D.Spanish adults don’t like its fast food.

What is great art? On the one hand, we can all see that great art is old art which is called great. But how do we know which art of our own times is great, and which will be forgotten? And who decides?
These are important questions, for the great art of the past often was not considered great during its own time. When Shakespeare and Charles Dickens were writing, for example, most critics considered them as hack (平庸的) writers with little or no literary ability.
Similarly, Van Gogh and many of the other Impressionist painters of the late nineteenth century were not allowed to participate in events involving what were thought to be the "real" painters of the time, and often they were very poor. Yet today their paintings often sell for millions of dollars, while those so-called "real" painters are now barely remembered.
So what makes great art? Can, for example, rock music be great art? Music videos? Cartoons and comics? Those who call themselves critics of the fine arts often have been the last to recognize great art in the past, and we can probably expect this to be the situation today.
Critics often don’t recognize great art because they tend to be prejudiced against what is popular. Popular works, whether they are novels, movies, or comics, are usually considered to be produced for the sake of money only, and not for the sake of art.
But popularity, it seems to me, is one of the three signs that a present-day work of art may come to be thought of as great. The other two are that it is groundbreaking, and that it is inherently (内在的) beautiful.
Many works have one or even two of these qualities of being popular, unusual, and beautiful. But having all the three often will mean that a work of art will someday be seen to be great, though it may take a good spoonful of time, such as a century or two, to know for sure.
小题1:The first paragraph is intended to__________.
A.lead to the following and arouse the reader’s curiosity
B.introduce some real painters to the readers
C.introduce the questions the writer wants to answer
D.explain what kind of art will become popular
小题2:The author used the examples of Shakespeare, Charles Dickens and Van Gogh to prove _____.
A.these masters’ works have some shortcomings
B.these masters wouldn’t have been so successful without the critics
C.truly beautiful works of art are never understood when first created
D.great masters are often not acknowledged while they were alive
小题3:According to the author, great works _______.
A.may be presented in different forms
B.are generally valued by critics
C.are thought valuable because of their sale price
D.will lose their value if they’re not accepted
小题4:What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Critics have changed their attitudes to great works.
B.Most of the opinions of critics are valueless.
C.The work of art itself, not the critics, determines its greatness.
D.Works of Impressionist painters will be great one day.

The city can seem a cold, mean place. In the middle of so many people hurrying about their own business, a person can feel alone among the millions of others.
There is a popular view that in cities, strangers are less likely to help an elderly person cross a street or call the police when they see a bike being stolen. Recently, a New Yorker named Casey Neistat did an experiment. He chained up his bike in several public places, then "stole" it in a number of obvious ways, such as using a hacksaw (钢锯). He filmed everything to see whether other New Yorkers would try to stop a shameless bike theft. The result? People just walked on by.
Is this evidence of an immoral, selfish urban society? Not necessarily. According to another recent study, the way city people mind their own business is about other factors besides morality (道德).
This is called the Bystander Effect, the theory that city people do not react because of the urban enviromnent they live in.
Psychologist Dr. Harold explained why people did not involve themselves in Neistat"s bike theft experiment with the Bystander Effect.
First, people who live in cities are surrounded by so much activity that they stop noticing what is going on around them. Second, they are less easy to surprise and assume every activity has a logical explanation.
"The third is that people notice it, but they don"t know what to do," he continued. "And the fourth is fear — they know they should do something, but they"re afraid to challenge someone with a hacksaw."
A lack of concern is only a small reason why people don"t take action, concludes Dr. Harold.
Despite the results of Neistat"s experiment, there is also evidence of a sense of team spirit that connects people in cities. All it takes is a funny joke or a shared interest to start a conversation with someone at a bus stop. When city folk are in trouble, they come together for support — famously in New York on September 11, 2001.
City society is different, but that doesn"t mean it"s cold or mean — it just means it"s busy!
小题1:Casey Neistat fihned everything in the experiment with the purpose of       .
A.proving that he was not the thief
B.telling people that bike theft was immoral
C.finding out who had a sense of right and wrong
D.making his experiment well-known to the public
小题2:We can infer from the third paragraph that morality      .
A.can partly explain a selfish urban society
B.is what our society should pay special attention to
C.is the only factor that leads to a selfish urban society
D.is the root of the Bystander Effect mentioned in the passage
小题3:The underlined part September 11, 2001 in Paragraph 9 serves as      .
A.a reminder of the sad memories
B.a way to prove Dr Harold"s Bystander effect
C.evidence that city life can be really dangerous
D.an example to show team spirit connecting city people
小题4:As can be inferred from the passage, the writer probably      .
A.criticizes the loss of morality in urban society
B.feels sad about the result of Neistat"s experiment
C.thinks city people are too busy to care about others
D.disagrees that city life sometimes can be cold and mean
