The latest Chinese “god song”(an Internet term to describe pop songs that spread virally through the Internet(像病毒一樣傳播開來) is still making debates(爭論) between those who view it as a milestone for Chinese pop music going global and those who regard it as a bad image of China.

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(獎) and the performance by the Chopsticks Brothers at the AMA celebration, 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 “going abroad”, saying it may leave foreign audiences with a poor impression(印象) 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 view rather than a cultural view. The professional promoters behind the duo have developed a clear strategy(策略) to promote the duo and their works, not just this particular song. Little Apple was originally released(發(fā)行) to promote the duo’s film Old Boys: The Way of the Dragon.

From the very beginning a marketing strategy was used to promote(提升) the song, which immediately went viral on the Internet due to its repetitive rhythm(重復(fù)的韻律)，easy-to-remember lyrics(歌詞), simple and funny dance and, most importantly, grass roots (草根) nature. The video accumulated(積攢) more than 1 billion bits on China’s major video websites.

Although the song was generally disliked by music professionals who criticized(批評) it as “musical junk food”, Little Apple’s popularity nationally paved the way(為…鋪平道路) for promoting the duo internationally.

1.The writer’s attitude to the song of Little Apple is ________.

A. opposed(相反的)B. negative(消極的)

C. objective(客觀的)D. critical

2.What do the underlined words “the duo” refer to?

A. Little AppleB. Chopsticks Brother

C. Zhang JieD. American singers

3.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 nothing by the AMA

C. Little Apple is really popular with all people in China

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

It is good to see that today more people have realized the importance exercising and are playing sports regular. But the problem is that there are not enough sports facilities to meet the public growing demand. I love playing basketball and often play with my friends on weekends.

科目：高中英語 來源：2017屆安徽馬鞍山二中、安師大附中高三12月段測英語卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Whenever something looks interesting or beautiful, there is a natural desire of us to capture (捕捉)and preserve it—which means, in this day and age, that we are likely to reach for our phones to take a picture.

Though this would seem to be an ideal solution, there are two big problems associated with taking pictures. Firstly, we are likely to be so busy taking pictures that we forget to look at the world whose beauty and interest encourage us to take a photograph in the first place. And secondly, because we feel the pictures are safely stored on our phones, we never get around to looking at them, so sure are we that we’ll get around to them one day.

The first person to notice the problems was the English art critic(評論家), John Ruskin. He was a keen traveler who realized that most tourists make a poor job of noticing or remembering the beautiful things they see. He argued that humans have a natural tendency to respond to beauty and desire to have it, but there are better and worse expressions of this desire. At worse, we get into buying souvenirs or taking photographs. But, in Ruskin’s eyes, there’s just one thing we should do—attempting to draw the interesting things we see, regardless of whether we happen to have any talent for doing so.

Ruskin said, “Drawing can teach us to see: to notice properly rather than gaze absent-mindedly. In the process of recreating with our own hand what lies before our eyes, we naturally move from a position of observing beauty in a loose way to one where we acquire a deep understanding of its parts.”

Ruskin deplored the blindness and hurry of modern tourists, especially those who prided themselves on travelling around the whole Europe in a week by train, “No changing of places at a hundred miles an hour will make us stronger, happier, or wiser. There was always more in the world than men could see, if they ever walked slowly; they will see it no better for going fast. The really precious things are thoughts and sights, not pace.”

1.According to Paragraph 2, when taking pictures, people tend to ________.

A. forget to appreciate something attractive on the spot

B. find it hard to learn skills of taking good pictures

C. find a good way to keep things in their minds

D. have a chance to meet the challenge of new technology

2.According to Ruskin, what should travelers do to best express their appreciation of and desire for something beautiful?

A. To speak it out openly.

B. To photograph it instantly.

C. To purchase it directly.

D. To paint it immediately.

3.From the fourth paragraph, we can infer that Ruskin encourages us to be ________.

A. considerate and determined

B. active and adventurous

C. creative and thoughtful

D. sensitive and ambitious

4.The underlined word “deplored” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.

A. appreciatedB. criticizedC. favoredD. ignored
