The latest Chinese \song\(an Internet term to describe pop songs that spread virally(病毒性地) through Internet) is still stirring fierce debate between those who view it as a milestone for Chinese pop music going global and those who regard it as bad for China's image.

Last week, Little Apple, written and performed by the Chopsticks Brothers, won the AMA International Song Award and the duo performed the song at the 2014 American

Music Awards in Los Angeles. Another Chinese pop singer, Zhang Jie, won the International Artist Award.

But while fans of these singers are thinking highly of the awards and the performance by the Chopsticks Brothers at the AMA celebration as significant, there are others who are less excited. They have questioned the value of the awards and what effect it will have on Chinese culture's \abroad\claiming it may leave foreign audiences with a poor impression of Chinese pop music, and even Chinese culture.

The Little Apple phenomenon, both home and abroad, can be more easily understood and judged if we look at it from a business perspective rather than a cultural perspective. The professional promoters behind the duo have developed a clear strategy to promote the duo and their work, not just this particular song. Little Apple was originally released to promote the duo's film Old Boys: The Way of the Dragon.

From the very beginning a viral marketing strategy was used to promote the song, which immediately went viral on the Internet due to its repetitive rhythm, easy-to-remember lyrics, simple and funny dance and, most importantly, grassroots nature. The video accumulated more than 1 billion hits on China's major video website.

Although the song was generally dismissed by music professionals who criticized it as musical \duo internationally.

21.The writer’s attitude to the song of Little Apple is ______. A. opposed B. negative A. Little Apple C. Zhang Jie

22. What does the underlined words “the duo” refer to？

B. Chopsticks brothers D. American singer

[来源学+科+网Z+X+X+K]

C. objective D. critical

23. We can learn from the passage that ______.

A. Little Apple's popularity is also a success of marketing strategy B. Little Apple is generally thought worthless by the AMA C. Little Apple is really popular with all people in China

D. Little Apple was originally released as a pop song on the Internet

Nick Vujicic was born with no arms or legs, but the brave 32-year-old man, plays football and golf, swims, and surfs. Nick has a small foot on his left side, which helps him balance and enables him to kick. He uses his one foot to type, write with a pen and pick things up between his toes.

“I call it my chicken drumstick,” joked Nick, “I'd be lost without it. When I get in the water I float because 80 per cent of my body is lungs and my drumstick acts as a propeller.”

When Nick was born his father was so shocked he left the hospital room to vomit. His distraught mother couldn't bring herself to hold him until he was four months old. “It was so hard for them, but right from the start they did their best to make me independent. My dad put me in the water at 18 months and gave me the courage to learn how to swim. ” said Nick.

Throughout his childhood Nick dealt with the typical challenges. At the age of seven, Nick tried out some specially designed electronic arms and legs, in hope that he would be more like the other kids. During the short trial period of the electronic arms and legs, Nick realized that even with them, he was still unlike his peers at school, and they turned out to be much too heavy for Nick to operate, affecting his flexibility quite significantly.

“When I was 13 I read a newspaper article about a disabled man who had managed to achieve great things and help others,” said Nick, “I realized why God had made us like this － to give hope to others. It was so inspirational to me that I decided to use my life to encourage others and decided to be thankful for what I do have, not get angry about what I don't.”

“I tell people to keep on getting up when they fall and to always love themselves,” he said. “If I can encourage just one person then my job in this life is done.” By now, he has visited 35 different countries, touring the world as a motivational speaker. 28. What makes it possible for Nick to swim in the water? A. His small size.

B. His small foot.

D. His big lungs. B. bad-tempered D. extremely upset

B. his classmates didn’t like them D. they affected his appearance

C. His light weight. A. cold-blood C. really crazy

29.The underlined word “distraught” in paragraph 4 probably means _____.

30. Nick abandoned the electronic arms and legs because ________. A. his family couldn’t afford them C. they were too heavy to handle

31.Which of the following statements is true? A. Nick’s parents were very strict with him. B. Nick’s family accepted his disability at his birth. C. Nick’s mother was to blame for his disability.

D

The practice of magic includes special words, actions, and objects. Most magic involves a person called a magician, who claims to have supernatural powers.

Magic words. To work most magic, the magician sings or speaks special words in a certain order. These words are called incantations or spells. Some spells form prayers to monsters, spirits, or other supernatural forces. Many societies believe the magic will not work unless the magician recites the spells perfectly. Other magic words have no meaning, though they supposedly possess power when spoken by a magician.

Magic actions accompany the words spoken in performing much magic. Many of these movements act out the desired effect of the magic. For example, a magician trying to make rain fall may sprinkle water on the ground. The magician’s combined words and actions form a ceremony .

Magic objects include certain plants, stones, and other things with supposed supernatural powers. Any such object may be called a fetish. But this term often refers to an object—for example, a carving or a dried snake—honored by a tribe for its magic powers.

[来源学#科#网]

D. Nick learned to be independent at a young age.

Many tribes believe fetishes have magic power because spirits live in these objects.

Many people carry magic objects called amulets to protect themselves from harm. Many amulets are stones or rings with magic symbols.

The magician. In some societies, nearly everyone knows how to work some magic. In other societies, only experts practice magic. Magicians may be called medicine men, medicine women, shamans, sorcerers, or witch doctors. In many societies, magicians must inherit their powers. In others, any person may become a magician by studying the magical arts.

Many societies believe magicians must observe certain rules and taboos (forbidden actions) for their spells to work. For example, they may be required not to eat various foods or to avoid sexual activity for a certain period before the ceremony. 32. What do magic words mean to people in some societies? A. They have the power to kill devils. B. They can be used whenever they want. C. They have no effect at all.

D. They have power if a magician recites the right spells.

33. People believe magic actions will have an effect if they are accompanied by ______. A. medicine

B. the spells

D. stones or rings with magic symbols

C. magic objects A. Only men.

34. According to the passage what kind of person can become a magician? B. Only those studying the magical arts. C. Almost all the people in some societies. D. Only those inheriting their powers. 35. What’s the best title of the passage? A. How Magic Works C. The Power of Magic

How to Improve Eyesight Naturally

Eyes are important for everybody. You must take care and try everything in your hand

to keep them in good condition. Here are some of the tips to improve your eyesight naturally. 36 Strain is known to be a factor in many health conditions and eyestrain is no exception. Try meditation, yoga or other methods of stress relief to improve your vision and overall health. Try palming.

Sit upright in a comfortable chair. 37 Cup your hands so that there is no pressure on your eyes. Let your fingers rest across your forehead. There should be no light entering your eyes. Palming should be done for a period of 5 to 10 minutes to start. Palming should be relaxing. It may help to do palming in a darkened room. Avoid sugar as much as possible.

38 It will unpleasantly affect your eyesight, which affects the eyes by producing a larger amount of insulin (胰岛素) in the blood. Therefore you shouldn’t be having much fruit juice or something that contains a lot of sugar. Exercise your eyes.

The only exercise most eyes get is that daily rubbing we give them when we're tired or suffering from eyestrain. But eye exercises are actually good for your eyes and can improve your vision. 39 Blink as fast as you can for a few seconds then close your eyes tightly, open and repeat. Do this exercise 3 to 4 times daily. Eat healthy.

You probably hear that statement all the time but eating the right foods are necessary to good health. 40 Foods that are high in fiber, vitamin C, D and beta carotene as well as other vitamins and minerals can help improve your vision. Here are a few foods that can be beneficial to good vision: carrots, eggs, blueberries, spinach, kale, grapes, and fresh garlic.

A. Reduce eyestrain. B. Keep your eyes moist.

C. Sugar is your eye’s worst enemy.

D. Give your eyes a workout with the following exercise.

E. You may not be aware that your diet affects your vision but it does. F. Close eyes and cover them with the palms of your hands.

G. Be sure to get plenty of sleep so your eyes don’t strain to stay open during the day. 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分55分）
