Reading Comprehension (215=30)Passage One The multi-billion-dollar Western pop music industry is under fire. It is being blamed by the United Nations fo

15、r the dramatic rise in drug abuse worldwide. The most worrying development is a culture of drug-friendliness says the UNs International Narcotics Control Board in a report released last year. The 74study says the pop music, as a global industry, is by far the most influential trend-setter for young

16、people of most cultures. Some songs encourage people to take drugs. Certain pop stars make statements and set examples as if the use of drugs for non-medicinal purposes were a normal and acceptable part of a persons lifestyle, the study says. Surprisingly, says the Board, the effect of drug-friendly

17、 pop music seems to survive despite the occasional shock of death by overdose (过量用药) . Such incidents tend to be seen as an occasion to mourn(哀悼)the loss of a role model, and not an opportunity to face the deadly effect of drug use, it notes. Since the 1970s, several internationally famous singer an

18、d movie starsincluding Elvis Presley, Janice Joplin, John Belushi, Jimi Hendrix, Jonathan Melvin and Andy Gibbs-have died of either drug abuse or drug related illnesses. With the globalization of popular music, messages promoting, drug abuse are now reaching beyond their countries of origin. In most

19、 countries, the names of certain pop stars have become familiar to the members of every household, the study says. The UN study also blames the media for its description of certain drug incidents, which encourages rather than prevents drug abuse. Over the past years, we have seen how drug abuse is i

20、ncreasingly regarded as being even attractive, says Hamid Ghodse, president of the Board. Powerful pressure groups run political campaigns aimed at legalizing controlled drugs, he says. Ghodse also points out that all these developments have created an environment which is tolerant(容忍的) of or even f

21、avorable to drug abuse and spoils international drug prevention efforts currently under way. The study focuses on demand reduction and prevention within an environment that has become tolerant of drug abuse. The Board calls on governments to do their legal and moral duties, and to act against the pr

22、o-drug(赞成吸毒)messages of the youth culture to which young people increasingly are being exposed.31.

23、cause drug abuse to go beyond country boundaries.（ ）C.No efforts have been made to prevent the spreading of drug abuse.（ ）D.Governments have no ability to act against the pro-drug messages of the youth culture.32.

27、ing Cole, has made a name for herself in music.Along with her great success, however, Natalie Cole has lived in a world of drugs, crime, and failed marriages.“I have been to hell and back, she says. In the book Angel on My Shoulder, Cole gives us an honest look at the difficult path she has taken, s

28、haring, as well, her successful recovery. “Where Im at now helps me to look back on my life and realize that Ive really had quite a colorful and rich life,” she says. “I really could have turned out to be a different person.” As the second daughter of Maria and Nat King Cole, Natalie had as normal a

29、 childhood as was possible for a little girl whose father spent much of his time away from home. With hopes of one day becoming a doctor, she left her family in Los Angeles to attend a boarding school on the east coast. But when she was 14, she received some terrible news: her father was dying of lu

30、ng cancer. Less than two months later, in 1965, Nat King Cole died at the age of 47. During her college years at Amherst, Cole began to experiment with drugs, though they didnt stop her from joining a music group. She played in small clubs on the east coast, using drugs more and more frequently. Wit

31、hout enough money to pay the bills and to support her drug habit, Cole turned to stealing and got into trouble with the law. Eventually, she became so badly affected by the drugs that she decided to quit on the spot. She says it was a miracle the work of an angel on her shoulder. Her drug habit kick

32、ed, Natalies career really began to take off. Only two years after being arrested and almost dying because of drugs, Coles first record won two Grammies. In 1976, she married Marvin Yancy, her songwriter and producer. They soon had a son, Robbie, and Coles life really seemed to be coming together. “

33、Marriage to Marvin, and Robbie, was like a breath of pure, fresh air,” she says. “I was with a man whom I loved and who loved me.we were just so close.” Sadly, the marriage wouldnt last. After four years of being drug-free, Cole was once again using. In 1983, Cole checked herself into a recovery pro

34、gram, and was finally able to mend the wounds from her difficult past. After narrowly escaping death once again, Cole decided to record her fathers greatest hits, including the phenomenal success Unforgettable: With Love.

40、y for all that I have experienced（ ）D.Im sorry for where I am nowPassage Three Language is a way to communicate with each other. We started to learn language when we were born. However, people are used to speaking their native language, so immigrants are having many problems between the first genera

41、tion and the second generation because they dont have the same native language. Also, the second generation is losing their identity(身份). Especially in America, there are many immigrants that came from different countries to succeed in the States. Because they suffer in lots of areas such as getting

42、 a job and trying to speak English, they want their children to speak English, not only at school, but also at home in order to be more successful. Because of this situation, their children are losing their ethnic identity and, even more, they are ignoring their parents whose English is not very goo

43、d. I think most immigrants are trying to preserve their native language in their new country, but this doesnt help very much in getting a good job. My aunt didnt teach Korean to her children in order to help them succeed in the US; she did so, hopefully, to help them establish a Korean identity. Tho

44、ugh the second generation is born in the new country, they often get confused about their identity. My cousins told me that when they visited Korea a few years ago, they felt different from other Koreans. They could even feel it just strolling around the street because they wore different clothes. W

45、e must realize that language is important and valuable for many reasons. Immigrants should make an effort not to be ignored by their children and to make their children understand their heritage by teaching them the parents language. This is important in helping the second generation establish their

46、 identity.41.Which people are having trouble with language?（）（ ）A.Natives.（ ）B.Only people of the second generation.（ ）C.People when born（ ）D.Immigrants42.Why are children ignoring their parents?（）（ ）A.Children have lost their identity.（ ）B.Parents cause children to suffer.（ ）C.They speak different

47、languages.（ ）D.They have different job levels.43.The authors aunt taught Korean_. （）（ ）A.so she could preserve her language（ ）B.so she would have a job in America（ ）C.to help children succeed in their new country（ ）D.to help children keep their Korean identity44.The authors cousins felt_（）（ ）A.they were not similar to people in Korea（ ）B.they could not get a job in America（ ）C.it was all right to look and feel different（ ）D.it was important to keep their identi
