D.Guided Us to Travel Abroad
E.Encouraged Teens to Communicate
F:Changed How We Talk
TV That Changed the World
61.The SimpsonsF
University of Pennsylvania Linguistics professor Mark  Liberman  wrote  in 2005,"The Simponshas apparently taken over from Shakespeare and the Bible as our culture's greatest source of  idioms and catchphrases."Liberman's comment sounds crazy-at least until you remember  there's a Millhouse quote for every occasion.Even the gatekeeper of language,the Oxford English Dictionary has found a spot for Homer Simperson's trademark"D'oh!"
62.America's Most WantedA.
The show has helped arrest over I,100fugitives(逃犯)since its debut in 1988.Many people  thought highly of the series as they could enjoy a safer community.
63.GleeC
Fox scored a sleeper hit with the musical series in 2009.But the show's real impact came between  airings.As most of the record industry failed.the Glee recordings found staggering success on  iTunes.By the end of 2011,the cast had sold more 11  million albums and another 36  million single tracks.Meanwhile,the 2011 concert tour grossed more than $40 million.
64.Sex and the  CityE
A 2011 0hio State University study found that undergraduates who viewed an episode of Sex and  the City were more than twice as likely to talk to their partners about sexual-health issues.
65.ERB
ER did more than make George Clooney a superstar.It also changed the way America ate.In three 2004episodes,the show focused on the doctors'orders for a teenager with high blood  pressure:exercise,and eat more fruits and vegetables.While the plot sounds humdrum,it scared viewers straight.In 2007,researchers from the University of Southern California's  medical school found that viewers who caught these episodes had started walking or exercising more,eating more fruits and vegetables,or getting their blood pressure checked.How can anyone say watching TV is bad for you?

分析 本文介紹了五部對(duì)觀眾產(chǎn)生影響的電視連續(xù)劇,他們分別是《辛普森一家》,《頭號(hào)通緝犯》,《歡樂合唱團(tuán)》,《欲望都市》和《急診室》.

解答 61.答案:F.根據(jù)61題中The Simponshas apparently taken over from Shakespeare and the Bible as our culture's greatest source of  idioms and catchphrases可以知道《辛普森一家》明顯取代了莎士比亞和《圣經(jīng)》,成為我們習(xí)慣用語(yǔ)的主要來(lái)源,在后文里還提到Even the gatekeeper of language,the Oxford English Dictionary has found a spot for Homer Simperson's trademark"D'oh!",它對(duì)牛津字典都有了影響,所以選擇 F Changed How We Talk,指它改變了我們談話的方式.
62.答案:A.根據(jù)62題中The show has helped arrest over I,100 fugitives(逃犯)since its debut in 1988可以知道《頭號(hào)通緝犯》自從1988年播出以來(lái)已經(jīng)幫助逮捕了超過1100名逃犯,因此答案是A  Cleaned Up Our Streets,指它清掃了街道,也就是讓我們的社會(huì)更安全.
63.答案:C.根據(jù)63題中As most of the record industry failed.the Glee recordings found staggering success on  iTunes.可以知道當(dāng)大多數(shù)的唱片業(yè)在下滑的時(shí)候,《歡樂合唱團(tuán)》的唱片卻獲得一個(gè)驚人的成功,而后幾句By the end of 2011,the cast had sold more 11  million albums and another 36  million single tracks又說(shuō)了它的銷量,所以選擇C Helped Promote the Record Industry指它有助于推斷唱片業(yè)的發(fā)展.
64.答案:E.根據(jù)64題中 undergraduates who viewed an episode of Sex and  the City were more than twice as likely to talk to their partners about sexual-health issues可以知道看了這個(gè)劇的年輕人更愿意和父母談?wù)撔越】祮栴},所以選擇E;Encouraged Teens to Communicate指它鼓勵(lì)年輕人去交流.
65.答案:B.根據(jù)65題中 viewers who caught these episodes had started walking or exercising more,eating more fruits and vegetables,or getting their blood pressure checked可以知道看了這個(gè)劇的人已經(jīng)開始進(jìn)行更多的身體鍛煉,吃更多的水果和蔬菜,或者進(jìn)行血壓監(jiān)測(cè).因此選擇B Made Us Healthier指它讓我們更健康.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 考查閱讀配對(duì).閱讀文章時(shí),通過短文的詞、短語(yǔ)或句子的理解來(lái)充分理解整篇文章,碰到不熟悉的詞語(yǔ)要避過,先略讀再通讀,仔細(xì)推敲,尤其是對(duì)語(yǔ)境的理解要準(zhǔn)確.

13.1always figured that comedians were the best kind of people to hang around with as a kid.They tell funny stories,make joke after joke,and happiness seems never to leave them.But time goes on,and we come to see these same people as clowns on the outside,but crying a river in the inside.Comedy from these people comes from a deep pain and sadness in their lives,or out of a deep-seated anger they have at the world around them.
Look at Richard Pryor,need I say more?Richard seemed to have everything.For Superman,he ended up getting more money than Christopher Reeve did.Yet he said while he was in his forties that the last truly happy moment he remembered in his life was when he was jumping around in the dirt while pretending to be a cowboy at the age of 10.This guy set himself on fire,and he played that for laugh while performing live at the Sunset Strip!Comedy was his constant weapon against pain,and he never held anything back.
The movie Funny People understand very well this gloomy field many comedians have to survive in.It stars Adam Sandler as George Simmons,a famous comedian in the movie.Simmons has it all:a beautiful mansion overlooking the sea,a swimming pool,great cars,and so on.But in his eyes,we see that he is a sad man who has come to truly look down upon himself for what he has become.All the wealth he has collected only serves to separate him from the rest of the world and it makes him defensive when around total strangers who cannot see him as a normal person.But now,he hears from his doctor that he has a terminal disease and has only months left to live.Simmons reacts to this news as if someone took away his blood in the heart,and it makes him clearly see just how much he hates his life.So now he has to make every minute count.Then come a series of funny stories.
Comedy is just life as it is,isn't it?
32.What can we infer about"comedians"according to the text?D
A.Comedians like to get along with kids.
B.Comedians'life is full of jokes.
C.Comedians often cry in their daily life.

C.When he pretended to be a cowboy in the childhood.
D.When he performed live at the Sunset Strip.
34.Why was George Simmons unhappy?A
A.He wasn't accepted by the outside world.
B.He had no friends at all.
C.He spent too much on his house.
D.He was hated by all the strangers around.
35.By saying"Comedy is just life as it is,isn't it?",the author meansB
A.life like comedy will make you happy
B.comedy comes from the sadness in real life

15."My work is done."Those words were some of the last penned by George Eastman.He included them in his suicide note.They mark an ignoble end to a noble life,the leave taking of a truly great man.The same words could now be said for the company he left behind.Actually,the Eastman Kodak Company is through.It has been mismanaged financially,technologically and competitively.For 20 years,its leaders have foolishly spent down the patrimony of a century's prosperity.One of America's bedrock brands is about to disappear,the Kodak moment has passed.
But George Eastman is not how he died,and the Eastman Kodak Company is not how it is being killed.Though the ends be needless and premature,they must not be allowed to overshadow the greatness that came before.Few companies have done so much good for so many people,or defined and lifted so profoundly the spirit of a nation and perhaps the world.It is impossible to understand the 20th Century without recognizing the role of the Eastman Kodak Company.
Kodak served mankind through entertainment,science,national defense and the stockpiling of family memories.Kodak took us to the top of Mount Suribachi and to the Sea of Tranquility.It introduced us to the merry old Land of Oz and to stars from Charlie Chaplin to John Wayne,and Elizabeth Taylor to Tom Hanks.It showed us the shot that killed President Kennedy,and his brother bleeding out on a kitchen floor,and a fallen Martin Luther King Jr.on the hard balcony of a Memphis motel.When that sailor kissed the nurse,and when the spy planes saw missiles in Cuba,Kodak was the eyes of a nation.From the deck of the Missouri to the grandeur of Monument Valley,Kodak took us there.Virtually every significant image of the 20th Century is a gift to posterity from the Eastman Kodak Company.
In an era of easy digital photography,when we can take a picture of anything at any time,we cannot imagine what life was like before George Eastman brought photography to people.Yes,there were photographers,and for relatively large sums of money they would take stilted pictures in studios and formal settings.But most people couldn't afford photographs,and so all they had to remember distant loved ones,or earlier times of their lives,was memory.Children could not know what their parents had looked like as young people,grandparents far away might never learn what their grandchildren looked like.Eastman Kodak allowed memory to move from the uncertainty of recollection,to the permanence of a photograph.But it wasn't just people whose features were savable; it was events,the sacred and precious times that families cherish.The Kodak moment,was humanity's moment.
And it wasn't just people whose features were savable; it was events,the precious times that familes cherish.Kodak let the fleeting moments of birthdays and weddings,picnics and parties,be preserved and saved.It allowed for the creation of the most egalitarian art form.Lovers could take one another's pictures,children were photographed walking out the door on the first day of school,the person releasing the shutterdecided what was worth recording,and hundreds of millions of such decisions were made.And for centuries to come,those long dead will smile and dance and communicate to their unborn progeny.Family history will be not only names on paper,but smiles on faces.
The cash flow not just provided thousands of people with job,but also allowed the company's founder to engage in some of the most generous philanthropy in America's history.Not just in Kodak's home city of Rochester,New York,but in Tuskegee and London,and at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.He bankrolled two historically black colleges,fixed the teeth of Europe's poor,and quietly did good wherever he could.While doing good,Kodak did very well.Over all the years,all the Kodakers over all the years are essential parts of that monumental legacy.They prospered a great company,but they-with that company-blessed the world.
That is what we should remember about the Eastman Kodak Company.
Like its founder,we should remember how it lived,not how it died.
History will forget the small men who have scuttled this company.
But history will never forget Kodak.

55.According to the passage,which of the following is to blame for the fall of Kodak?B
    A.The invention of easy digital photography
    B.The poor management of the company
    C.The early death of George Eastman
    D.The quick rise of its business competitors
56.It can be learnt from the passage that George EastmanD.
    A.died a natural death of old age.
    B.happened to be on the spot when President Kennedy was shot dead.
    C.set up his company in the capital of the US before setting up its branches all over the world.
    D.was not only interested in commercial profits,but also in the improvement of other people's lives.
57.Before George Eastman brought photography to people,B.
    A.no photos has ever been taken of people or events
    B.photos were very expensive and mostly taken indoors
    C.painting was the only way for people to keep a record of their ancestors.
    D.grandparents never knew what their grandchildren looked like.
58.The person releasing the shutter (Paragraph 5)was the oneA.
    A.who took the photograph
    B.who wanted to have a photo taken
    C.whose decisions shaped the Eastman Kodak Company
    D.whose smiles could long be seen by their children
59.What is the writer's attitude towards the Eastman Kodak Company?B
    A.Disapproving   B.Respectful     C.Regretful      D.Critical
60.Which do you think is the best title for the passage?C
    A.Great Contributions of Kodak     B.Unforgettable moments of Kodak
    C.Kodak Is Dead                    D.History of Eastman Kodak Company.
