共用题干A Ride in a Cable-carA ride in a cable-car is one of the exciting and enjoyable experiences a child can have.InSwitzerland,which is the home of the cable-car,it is used mostly to take tourists up the slope of a mountain,to a restaurant from which one can have a bird-eye view of the surrounding country, or to a top of a ski-run,from which,in winter,skiers glide down the snow covered the slope on skis .In Singapore,however,the cable-car takes one from the summit of a hill on the main island to a low hill on Sentosa,a resort island just off the southern coast.The cable-car is really a carriage which hangs from a strong steel cable suspended in the air.It moves along the cable with other cars on pulleys,the wheels of which are turned by electric motors. The cars are painted in eye-catching colours and spaced at regular intervals.Each car can seat up six persons.After the passengers have entered a car,they are locked in from outside by an attendant,they have no control over the movement of the car.Before long,the passengers get a breath-taking view through the glass windows of the modern city,the bustling harbour,and the several islands off the coast. The car is suspended so high in the air that slips on the sea look like small boats,and boats like toys.On a clear day,both the sky above and the sea below look beautifully blue.In contrast to the fast-moving traffic on the ground,the cars in the air move in a leisurely manner,allowing passengers more than enough time to take in the scenery during the brief trip to the island of Sentosa.After a few hours on Sentosa,it will be time again to take a cable-car back to Mount Faber. The return journey is no less exciting than the outward trip. Which of the following about the cable-cars is true?A: The cars move along the steel cable.B: The cars are operated by a driver.C: The cars are controlled by the passengers.D: The cars move on wheels.

共用题干"Happy Birthday to You"The main problem in discussing American popular culture is also one of its main characteristics:it won't stay American.No matter what it is,whether it is films,food and fashion,music,casual sports or slang, it's soon at home elsewhere in the world.There are several theories why American popular culture has had this appeal.One theory is that it has been"advertised"and marketed through American films,popular music,and more recently,television.________(46)They are,after all,in competition with those produced by other countries. Another theory,probably a more common one,is that American popular culture is internationally associ-ted with something called"the spirit of America"._______(47)The final theory is less complex:American popular culture is popular because a lot of people in theworld like it.Regardless of why it spreads,American popular culture is usually quite rapidly adopted and then adapted in many other countries.________(48)"Happy Birthday to You",for instance,is such an everyday song tha its source,its American copyright,so to speak,is not remembered.Black leather jackets worn by many heroe in American movies could be found,a generation later,on all those young men who wanted to make this manly-look their own.Two areas where this continuing process is most clearly seen are clothing and music.Some people canstill remember a time when T-shirts,jogging clothes,tennis shoes,denim jackets,and blue jeans were notcommon daily wear everywhere.Only twenty years ago,it was possible to spot an American in Paris by his or her clothes.No longer so:Those bright colors,checkered jackets and trousers,hats and socks which were once made fun of in cartoons are back again in Paris as the latest fashion._____(49)The situation with American popular music is more complex because in the beginning,when it was still clearly American,it was often strongly resisted.Jazz was once thought to be a great danger to youth and their morals,and was actually outlawed in several countries.Today,while still showing its rather American roots, has become so well established.Rock 'n' roll and all its variations,country & western music,all have moi or less similar histories.They were first resisted,often in America as well,as being"low-class",and then: "a danger to our nation's youth".______(50)And then the music became accepted and was extende and developed,and exported back to the US.46.________（46）A.As a result,its American origins and roots are often quickly forgotten.B.But this theory fails to explain why American films,music,and television programs are so popular in then selves.C.American in origin,informal clothing has become the world's first truly universal style.D.The BBC,for example,banned rock and roll until 1962.E.American food has become popular around the world,too.F.This spirit is variously described as being young and free,optimistic and confident,informal and disrespectfu.________（48）A:As a result,its American origins and roots are often quickly forgotten.B:But this theory fails to explain why American films,music,and television programs are so popular in then selves.C:American in origin,informal clothing has become the world's first truly universal style.D:The BBC,for example,banned rock and roll until 1962.E:American food has become popular around the world,too.F:This spirit is variously described as being young and free,optimistic and confident,informal and disrespectfu.
