  What is the hottest word of 2008 in China?Google, the world's top search engine, gave its list at the end of this year.“Shanzhai”, a Chinese term, which literally refers to the mountain strongholds of bandits(強(qiáng)盜)but has changed to mean “copycatting(復(fù)制)”, came at the top.

  It's true that “Shanzhai” is everywhere.There are “Shanzhai” phones called “Nakia” and “Anycoll”.There are “Shanzhai” stars who dress and act like celebrities such as Jay Zhou.There are “Shanzhai” versions of movies, songs and TV programs.And recently a crowd of youths has drawn eyes from around the country preparing for the amateur Spring Festival gala(聯(lián)歡會(huì)), in which ordinary people are invited to show their work.“I want to watch the amateur gala on Spring Festival eve,” said 19-year-old Fan Xiaojie in Wuhan.“The performers will express themselves in a bolder and funnier way than those on CCTV.”

  “‘Shanzhai'is a way for young people to have their voices heard in a world ruled by authorities,” said Gu Haibin, a sociologist from Remin University.Made cheaply and easily, “Shanzhai” versions gave ordinary people an opportunity to express themselves.Gu said the copycat trend also promotes a DIY(do it yourself)attitude.“With the spread of the Internet, it has become easier to publish works and get an access to technology.This has made DIY more possible.”

  Li Xinlian, a psychologist in Beijing, thought about why “Shanzhai” is getting popular at this particular time.“It meets people's need to release, especially after this year's many gloomy events, such as the snowstorm, earthquake and financial crisis,” said Li.“The ‘Shanzhai'spirit makes fun of authorities and of ourselves.It provides a release.”

  However, experts remind that copycat works can break copyright laws.The law allows copying the format of a copy-righted work, but not the content.Lyrics or melody(詞曲)of a song are also protected from commercial uses.

(1)

Which popular copycat is NOT mentioned in the passage?

[  ]

A.

Shanzhai phones.

B.

Shanzhai stars.

C.

Shanzhai internet.

D.

Shanzhai movies, songs and TV programs.

(2)

The underlined word “gloomy”(in paragraph 4)means ________.

[  ]

A.

satisfying

B.

depressing

C.

surprising

D.

exciting

(3)

According to Li Xinlian, “Shanzhai” is currently getting popular because ________.

[  ]

A.

many people's life is very boring

B.

it meets people's needs and provides a release

C.

people, especially young people, like to play jokes

D.

many people lost their lives in the snowstorm and earthquake

(4)

This passage is most probably taken from ________.

[  ]

A.

a newspaper

B.

a travel brochure

C.

a science magazine

D.

an advertising booklet

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中,選出

最佳選項(xiàng),并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

A

In the virtual (虛擬的) world, she is a popular Kungfu writer Ling Feng. At school, she is a quick-witted party emcee (主持人) and competent student union leader. She is always one of the top three scorers of her grade and the winner of various academic competitions. Last week she became the only student to be recommended by her school principal (校長(zhǎng)) to Peking University.

  She is 18-year-old Zhu Zhenhui of Haimen High School in Jiangsu, one of the 39 high schools from which Peking University will enroll students recommended by their principals next year.

  Zhu stood out among more than 30 candidates(候選人), but not only for her excellent high school reports and test scores. More importantly, she has performed outstandingly in other areas, which the principal believes will not cause the least controversy (爭(zhēng)議) among students and teachers.

  Zhu loves public speaking, in both Chinese and English. Her eloquence (口才) and quick mind make her an obvious choice to introduce ceremonies and parties on campus. As a news reporter and broadcaster on her school's radio station, Zhu has a keen sense of current affairs. The young journalist interviewed Sophia Ming Ren Leung, the first female Chinese Canadian senator (議員), when the politician visited a Nanjing school where she once studied. In the same year, she won the opportunity to question Kaifu Lee when the former Google vice-president appeared at a talk show on a local TV station.

  Every Sunday Zhu chairs a student union meeting, where she leads discussion on timetables, events and routine (例行) work for the following week. Under her are the ministers of the union's six departments. “The work has made me organized and decisive,” she said. On November 21, at the invitation of Zhu and other union members, the famous gymnast Huang Xu attended the opening ceremony of the school's Sports Festival.

  Some girls dream of being a princess, but not Zhu. Her fantasy is to be a knight (俠士) in one of Louis Cha (Jin Yong)'s or Gu Long's works. Her online novel, in the Jianghu World, is a huge success under her pen name Ling Feng. In the 120,000-character story, a girl learns to be tolerant and positive after an accidental journey to the ancient world. A book of the same title came out in June. “I'm working on the sequel (續(xù)集),” she said.

56. Which of the following is NOT the correct description of Zhu Zhenhui?

A. An admired writer.                         B. An eloquent speaker.

C. A gifted dancer.                              D. A born leader.

57. As a leader of the student union, Zhu has done quite a lot of impressive work EXCEPT _______.

A. interviewing former vice-president of Google

B. leading discussion on routine work

C. helping organize major events in school

D. inviting gymnast Huang Xu to attend Sports Festival

58. What does the underlined word in the first paragraph mean?

A. quick in mind                                B. fast in action     

C. speak quickly                                 D. rapid in memorizing

59. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Zhu learns to be tolerant and positive after leading the student union.

B. Zhu’s first novel which has 120,000 different characters has come out.

C. The school principal recommended Zhu to be enrolled in Peking University because it would cause the least controversy.

D. The first female Chinese Canadian senator is Zhu’s schoolmate.
