Researchers are often interested in how culture changes over time. All cultures go through periods of change and some cultures change faster than others. For example, in the past 10 years, Chinese culture has changed rapidly as western products have become popular. Other countries, such as France, have created rules to prevent their culture from changing too quickly.

Even though cultures change at different paces, the causes of cultural change are quite similar around the world. One of these is technology and medicine. In the United States the invention and development of birth control pills and other measures helped parents to limit the size of their families. As a result, families grew smaller and parents could give more attention to fewer children.  On the other hand, new technology has also created emotional distance among families.

Cultures also change when they come into contact with other cultures. Immigration, for example, often results in cultural change for both immigrants and the host culture. Immigrants often bring with them different ideas, food, music, language, and manners when they move to a new culture. In Canada, for example, the government has a policy of multiculturalism where immigrants are encouraged to share their background cultures with Canadians while adopting and accepting Canadian culture.

Cultural change can occur due to larger events. For example, economic depression, war, and disaster can endanger societies, which must adapt to these challenges and events. Because of these changes in society, ideas and ways of life also affect the entire culture. For example, during World War Ⅱ， many American men were sent far off to fight. Consequently, women were suddenly needed to work in the factories. As a result of this change, it is no longer culturally acceptable to believe that they should not have the right to work.

1．In the first paragraph, which country has experienced rapid cultural change in the last decade?

A．Canada.  B．China. 

C．France.  D．America.

2．What will probably be talked about following the last paragraph?

A．Another reason for cultural change.

B．A discussion of immigration policy in France.

C．Another cultural change caused by World War Ⅱ.

D．Some examples of highly successful working women.

3．What would be a good title for this passage?

A．Immigration Policy and Culture       

B．Immigration and Culture

C．New Technology and Family Culture   

D．Theories of Cultural Change

How did we get the alphabet? It was a long process, covering thousands of years.

   The first people to write things down carved symbols onto rocks or shells. These symbols represented people or things.

   These people who lived a long time ago had simple lives with simple needs.  One of the most basic needs was food. Before the introduction of agriculture, people were called hunter­gatherers because they hunted animals and gathered nuts and berries for food. To tell each other about how to hunt animals or where to find them, these people drew on cave walls or on animal hides. Soon, people were growing their own crops. They were also using a system of symbols to stand for people, places and things. The best ancient example of this was found in Egypt, where hieroglyphs (象形字) were used. These people believed in many different gods. Each god had its own symbol. Symbols were also used to stand for water, buildings, food, and other parts of life.

   But these picture drawings and hieroglyphs represented whole words, not just sounds. How did we get an alphabet? Recent research suggests that the idea of an alphabet was first used in Egypt about 1900 BC.Civilizations that traded with or fought against Egypt were exposed to this alphabet, and the idea spread.

   The ancient Greeks adapted this alphabet and created their own. The ancient Romans polished it up to a state almost like our modern alphabet. The idea of stringing letters together to make words was born.  You can see by looking at letters from the Roman alphabet that these letters survive almost unchanged in our modern English alphabet.

   This was the case in the Western world. Actually, a similar thing also happened in the East. You can see many examples in such areas' language development.

4．Why did hunter­gatherers use drawings?

A．To assist them in searching for food.

B．To put a series of symbols into a system.

C．To warn their companions to hide safely.

D．To record some methods of growing crops.

5．What does the development of the alphabet reflect?

A．The difficulties ancient people have learning languages.

B．The different kinds of religious beliefs in the same god.

C．The poor living conditions and agricultural development.

D．The needs of ancient people to survive and communicate.

6．How did the ancient Romans influence the alphabet?

A．They made improvements to it.     

B．They created it all by themselves.

C．They managed to keep it unchanged. 

D．They turned it into the modern one.

7．What will the author probably write about next?

A．The effects of the alphabet on global languages.

B．Why the alphabet grew better in Western world.

C．How the alphabet appeared in the Eastern world.

D．A number of examples of language evolution.

San Francisco's Chinatown is the biggest and oldest in the country. It's the third most visited tourist destination in the city. It's also the city's most densely populated neighborhood. So why are businesses in Chinatown struggling?

In this week's paper, I outline some of the reasons for why Chinatown's crowded streets and busy shops might be declining. Underneath the surface, Chinatown is falling. And the city, local organizations and businesses are trying to figure out what they can do to turn things around.

While numbers of people visit Chinatown, they don't stay long and they don't spend a lot of money. And beyond annual festivals, like Chinese New Years, this month's Moon Festival and last month's Sunday Streets—which drew about 15,000 to 20,000 people—the neighborhood has a hard time attracting locals.

Can you remember the last time you went to Chinatown? If you can't, you're not alone. Locals told me that Chinatown doesn't have much to offer them—that the stores are all the same. There are some good eating joints, people said, but they don't know how to find them. Some people even told me that they sometimes go to extreme measures to avoid the neighborhood altogether. But when asked if they would like to see Chinatown gone, the answer was always a strong no.

Locals are hopeful that things will get better and traffic will increase when the Central Subway is complete. But that's not for another five years, at least. And if new shops or restaurants don't make their way into Chinatown, the same problem of attracting locals will exist.

   Not that Chinatown's going to die. The dragon still has some fire in its belly. And many people are rooting for positive change. The question is, how does Chinatown change without losing the very importance of what makes it unique?

8．Which can we know about Chinatown according to the passage?

A．Businesses in Chinatown are going well.

B．Local people like going shopping there.

C．A great number of people visit it every year.

D．No period has seen a more prosperous Chinatown.

9．According to the locals we can know that ________.

A．Chinatown doesn't love to offer them assistance

B．shops in Chinatown lack their own characteristics

C．it is hard to buy quality goods at proper prices

D．they feel annoyed to see so many familiar faces

10．It can be inferred from the passage ________.

A．the Central Subway is under construction

B．Chinatown has to make way for subway

C．many restaurants have been closed down

D．the locals hope Chinatown will be extinct

11．What is the author's attitude towards Chinatown?

A．Negative.  B．Sympathy.

C．Hopeful.  D．Indifferent.

A study of 500,000 songs released (发行) in the UK between 1985

and 2015 showed that pop music had decreased in happiness and increased in sadness.

In a report published in the journal Royal Society Open Science, researchers at the University of California examined hundreds of thousands of songs and classified them by their mood. “‘Happiness’ is going down, ‘sadness’ is going up, and at the same time, the songs are becoming more ‘danceable’ and more ‘party­like’，” co­author Natalia L. Komarova told The Associated Press.

The study found songs in 2014 like Stay With Me by Sam Smith, Whispers by Passenger and Unmissable by Gorgon City have a “low happiness” trend. However, tracks from 1984 like Glory Days by Bruce Springsteen, Would I Lie To You? by Eurythmics and Freedom by Wham! had a “high happiness” trend. “The public seems to prefer happier songs, even though more and more unhappy songs are being released each year，”the researchers wrote.

Apart from the emotional trends, researchers discovered that dances and pop were the most successful styles of music and that there was a “clear downward” trend, with the popularity of rock beginning in the early 2000s.“So it looks like, while the overall mood is becoming less happy, people seem to want to forget it all and dance，” Komarova wrote in an email.

It was also found that the “maleness” of songs—the frequency of male singers in popular music—had decreased during the last 30 years. “Successful songs are characterized by a larger percentage of female artists compared to all songs，” they wrote.

This discovery appears at a time when the conversation around sex equality in the music industry is at its height, with more male artists and songwriters.

12．The researchers examined lots of songs to ________.

A．find songs for dances and parties

B．choose songs for a journal

C．release more songs

D．know better about songs

13．Whose music style tends to bring you more happiness?

A．Natalia L. Komarova's.  　 B．Sam Smith's.

C．Gorgon City's.  　 D．Bruce Springsteen's.

14．What do we know about songs?

A．Rock became popular in the early 2000s.

B．Fewer unhappy songs came to light every year.

C．Male singers were better at performing pop music.

D．Female artists were less skilled in writing songs.

15．What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Pop Music Is Getting Sadder

B．Music Calls for Sex Equality

C．Pop Music Has a Long History

D．Music Industry Is Going Down

Every person has time for exercise. The way is to take steps to include exercise convenient

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

One time, the teachers at a school wanted to teach the students about airplanes. While all airplanes can fly, some are able to fly farther than others. This is because not all airplanes are built the same. For example, a fighter plane looks very different from a plane that people fly in when they want to go on a holiday. The teachers wondered how they could make students understand this.

Then, the science teacher, Mr Moose, decided that the school should have a paper airplane contest. The students would produce paper airplane designs. They would stand in line on the playground behind the school. The students would take turns throwing their airplanes. The student whose airplane went the farthest would win.

When Mr Moose announced the paper airplane contest to the students, they were very excited. A student named Paul, who was on the wrestling team, bragged (吹牛) to everyone else that his airplane would win. “I am the strongest，” Paul said. “So I will be able to throw my airplane the farthest.” However, while Paul was saying this, another student, Brian, was thinking how he could win. Brian did not play any sports and was not very strong. But he loved airplanes and really wanted to win the contest.

Brian realized what he had to do. He went to the store and bought a big stack of paper. When he got home, he took the paper into his backyard. He took a piece of paper and folded an airplane. It didn't go very far, so Brian took another sheet and folded another airplane and threw it. This airplane went a little farther. Brian kept folding different kinds of airplanes and throwing them. Some went very far and some did not. Finally, when Brian had used all the paper, he walked up to the airplane that had flown the farthest and picked it up.

The next day was the contest. 　

Brian won because he tried out many solutions to the problem of how to make an airplane fly very far.
