It had its beginning in the USA and spread throughout the whole world during the 1950s and 1960s. It is widely liked by the young people. The best known early form of pop music was “rock-n-roll; another was “blues. A more recent development is “folk-rock. Pop music has taken the place of native music in many parts of the world; it has caused the number of people for jazz to become much smaller than it was in the 1950s and earlier, and it has now begun to rule musical stage productions. Its a big industry. Much pop music is without artistic value, but the work of some pop singers, e.g. the Beatles, Bob Dylan, the groups like Floyd and Crosby, Stills and Nash, is on a higher musical level. And there is still a great interest in it today. Pop music concerts and festivals are held all over the world. *ks*5u41. All of the following forms belong to pop music EXCEPT _.

The "Language Mandarins" of Beijing have decided that Chinglish is a disease for China's modernizing claim and must be obliterated before the city hosts the Olympic Games in . A road sign on the Avenue of Eternal Peace (Chang'an Street) ,for example, advises: "To Take Notice of Safe; The Slippery Are Very Crafty", a warning that the sidewalk was slippery(滑). Another sign in a Beijing park reads: "Little grass is smiling slightly, please walk on sidewalk. " Li Honghai, the city official in charge of the battle, said," Linguistic perfection (语言美) is becoming increasingly important with the rise in the number of the foreigners flowing into the city."However, not everyone shares the disdain (蔑视) of the Beijing government for the mixed language. "The choice of words is pretty much. One can either choose the verbs, adverbs, nouns or whatever one likes," explained one Hong Kong linguist on an Internet website.So many examples exist that several Internet sites have been set up to collect Chinglish phrases. Many come from English instructions on packages such as a candle marked with "Keep this candle out of children" and a model boatcuriously named Posh Sailboatwhich means, "Please don't place it in dusty play."If the battle against Chinglish is successful, Chinese will also turn their attention to the English-language versions of newspapers, which play an even more important role in teaching right English.45. The underlined word "obliterated" refers to . A. removed B. exploited(剥削) C. translated D. beautified46.From the passage, we know that . A. everyone shares the disdain for the mixed language*ks*5u B. all the people don't share the disdain for the mixed language C.

A. should be in duty to teach normal English B. should report the above battle C. should be paid more attention to D. should collect more Chinglish phrases48. Which of the following signs is Chinglish? A. Watch your step. Slippery sidewalk. B. Keep off the grass, please. C. Tourists do not enter. D. No smoking, please.CLoma just had to get in touch with someone：“I had to tell my best friend something important. I tried calling her but I couldnt get through. So I sent her an e-mail and then I spoke to her on MSN. Without technology I would not have been able to tell her. Staying connected with friends and family is important for us. Thats why we asked our readers to tell us how cell-phones, e-mail, blogs, text messaging, and personal pages help them keep in touch. More than 1,500 responded. Most of them told us they couldnt live without technology：80of teens said they need technology to stay in touch. Almost 30said theyd be completely out of their friends without their cell-phones and other methods of communication. What do they do when theyve got news they need to share now? Most teens say they try to reach their friends by phone. But if they dont reach them, they use QQ, e-mails, and text messaging to get the words out.Lots of people use one way of communicationlike text messagingto get a friends attention and then use another where they can talk more. “My friends and I always tell each other everything that happens. So I send them text messages to tell them to come online so we can talk about it, said Sabeiha. “When planning to get together with friends, Julian said, “the easiest and fastest way I know is to send a text message to my contact group.Jocelyn said. “If I want to go to see a movie with a few friends, I usually send text message to them.

DIn much society, there is often greater acceptance of light skin than dark skin; Light skin may be seen as a mark of beauty, intelligence and success. These beliefs can lead to social pressures even within the same group, if some members are darker than others.The result is that skin lightening has become very common across Africa, Asia and other areas of the world and more people with dark skin are using skin-lighting products, even if it means they may face health risks. They believe that having whiter skin will improve the quality of their lives. Many people think they will have a better family. Or they want to look like what their society generally considers beautiful.Some beauty care美容 products and soaps contain chemicals that make skin lighter. However, some of the chemicals are extremely dangerous. The chemicals in the products block and break down the natural barrier(障碍) to protect against sunlight. Then the skin can become thick and discolored. Usually the person will use more of the product in an effort to correct the problem, which just makes things even worse. Doctor Ly says some chemicals are so dangerous that they may lead to blackened fingernails, infections(感染) and serious skin damage.And these are not the only problems. Experts say some people who change their skin color suffer emotional damage. They feel regretful and sad. They feel that instead of risking their health, they should have learned to live and accept their skin color as it was.53. Whats the result of the wrong understanding of darker skin? A. Many people with dark skin try to make their skin whiter. B. Many people with whiter skin live a better life than others. C. People with darker skin try to marry people with light skin. D. People with darker skin try to protect themselves against social pressures.54. The third paragraph is about . A. some medical effects that skin-lightening products have brought about B. the mental damage that skin-lightening products have caused C. the physical damage that skin-lightening products have caused D. the causes why skin-lightening products can make skin whiter55. Why are chemicals in beauty care products dangerous? A. They can damage the skins color producing progress. B. They can control peoples emotions and feelings. C. They can make the fingernails and skin black. D. They make more people decide to change their skin colors.56. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Different Colors of SkinB. The Dark Side of Skin LighteningC. What Is Beauty? D. Light Skin or Dark Skin?EWater goes around and around Earth in a never ending journey called the water cycle循环. The sun heats up lakes, oceans, and other wet places on Earth. When the water gets warm enough, it changes into vapour. Plants also give off lots of water vapour. Some of this water vapour cools off high in the sky and becomes clouds. Then it falls back to Earth in a new place as rain or snow. This cycle happens over and over again. *ks*5u The ground can absorb water like a sponge (海绵). If you could see this groundwater, it wouldnt look like a lake or river. The groundwater is mixed in with the rocks and sand that lie in layers(层) below Earths surface.
