分析 文章大意：這篇文章主要講述了江南style創(chuàng)作者Psy的故事．在過去的幾個月里，Psy已經(jīng)前往澳大利亞，加利福尼亞，紐約推廣他的歌曲"江南style"．自2012年7月15號初次公演以來，該音樂視頻便受到了極大的歡迎．然而，這個音樂以及它的著名舞蹈的出現(xiàn)并非偶然．Psy說他們花了30個晚上模仿每一個動物，當(dāng)他們正在跳蛇舞的時候看到電視中有一匹馬在院中奔跑，于是便創(chuàng)作了騎馬舞．Psy從小生長在江南地區(qū)，1996年在波士頓大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)，然后他去美國伯利克音樂學(xué)院學(xué)習(xí)．然后他回到韓國創(chuàng)作了第一支單曲"鳥"．現(xiàn)在他成為了國際明星，他說他需要讓所有美國市場商人知道亞洲人沒有什么不同，我們都是一樣的．

解答 61．A．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章開頭"Psy：The Man Behind"Gangnam Style"即"Psy：江南style背后的人"，抓住兩個關(guān)鍵點"Psy"和"江南style"，一般文首文末易點題，抓住關(guān)鍵詞能很快得出答案，所以Psy因為Gangnam Style 這首歌而出名，故選A．
62．D．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"The music video has got more than 532million YouTube views since it premiered （初次公演） on July 15，2012and sets the Guinness world record for the most"liked"video in YouTube history．"可知這個音樂視頻自初次公演以來在YouTube已經(jīng)有超過5億三千2百萬觀看了，創(chuàng)造了新的吉尼斯世界紀(jì)錄，成為了在YouTube歷史上人們最喜歡的視頻，故選D．
63．C．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)""We were doing snake dance when someone turned on the TV，and there was a horse running across a yard．"So the horse dance was born．"可知當(dāng)他們正在跳蛇舞的時候，一個人打開電視，電視中一只馬正跑過院子，所以有了騎馬舞的誕生，故可知Psy從電視中得到了騎馬舞的想法，故選C．
64．B．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"And then he went off to the Berklee College of Music in America．"可知他去美國伯利克音樂學(xué)院學(xué)習(xí)音樂，故選B．
65．C．細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)"I didn't plan to be famous in America．I always thought that the American market looked on Asian artists as different people．"可知他本不打算在美國出名，因為他認(rèn)為美國人的市場中總將亞洲藝術(shù)家視為不同的人，故選C．

Jia Meng used to keep a diary in Chinese. But one year ago, the 14-year-old girl from Heilongjiang began to keep her diary in English, because Jia found her mother was reading her diary secretly. She changed the language because her mother can’t read English. “It’s like killing two birds with one stone.” said Jia. “My privacy (隱私)becomes safe and my English improves a lot.

Jia’s mother is not the only mom who reads her child’s diary. Recently, Renmin University of China had a national survey among over 23,000 parents. The results show that 40% of the parents read their children’s secrets. That’s why , like Jia, many teenagers try to find ways to protect their privacy.

Wu Lei, 15, of Shanxi, keeps a diary , too. But he doesn’t write it on paper. He writes online, which he thinks is perfectly safe because his parents know nothing about the Internet.

Lu Huan, 13, of Guangdong, said her parents always secretly listened to the talk between her friends and her on the telephone in their room. To solve this problem, Liu asked her parents to buy her a mobile phone.

“Parents want to know what is going on in their children’s lives,” said Shao Xiazhen, a teenage expert in Beijing, “But sometimes they go about it the wrong way.” Shao suggested to teenagers that instead of hiding their secrets, talking to parents is a better solution. If your parents know that you are safe, they’ll let you keep your secrets.

任務(wù)型閱讀

Today a Ferris wheel is usually 40 to 60 feet tall． That seems very high when you are on the top looking down． But the first Ferris wheel was 264 feet high – taller than a twenty-story building! Can you imagine the view from the top of that?

The first Ferris wheel was built for the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago． The people who planned the fair were looking for an attraction that would bring people to Chicago． George Ferris handed a drawing of a giant wheel that people could ride on． At first everyone laughed at his strange idea． But Mr． Ferris did not give up， and finally the idea was accepted． The ride opened in June of 1893．

Today’s Ferris wheels have 12 to 16 seats， which each carry 2 or 3 people． But that first one had 36 enclosed cars， each holding 60 passengers． When filled， it carried 2， 160 people． During that summer in Chicago， about 1．5 million people rode the Ferris wheel．

After the fair the ride was moved to a nearby amusement park built especially to show off the wheel． In 1904， it was moved again – to St． Louis for the Louisiana Purchase Exposition． After the fair there， the wheel stood unused． In 1906 it was finally sold to a company for scrap metal (廢鐵)．

Luckily a Chicago bridge builder， W．E． Sullivan， figured out how to make a smaller Ferris wheel that could easily be taken apart and put together． In 1906 he started the company that still makes many of the Ferris wheels used today．

But， whenever you ride one， remember that it all began with George Ferris’s strange idea!

1.How tall is a Ferris wheel today?

_________________________________________________________________

2.What was the first Ferris wheel built for?

_________________________________________________________________

3.What did people think of Ferris’s idea at first?
