“I think I’m nothing more than a dead fish.” “I don’t want to do anything.” “I’m so beat（疲惫）and so
sad. “... The young generation in our country used to enjoy their “happy culture” but now they have become “beat and sad” slowly and secretly. Some people even called it “the beat culture”. The “Beat” youths don’t want to do anything. They have no purpose, no desire and they are so depressed that they only want to live an aimless life. The “Ge You slouch (葛优瘫)”and the song I feel like having been drained are the examples.
Many media concern themselves about this phenomenon and try to persuade the youths into accepting positive and healthy feelings and encourage them to work hard to get rid of decadence. This is really a kind gesture. However, we don’t have to worry too much about this “beat culture.” In fact, it’s not a negative thing. “Beat”never means despair, but a way of self-mockery (自嘲) and pressure relief.
In general, the youths in China are not “beat”. According to a recent international research, the youths in China hold positive attitude towards the future. 29% of the Chinese interviewees believe they will live and work in peace in China because “as long as you work hard, you can have your own day”. Around 93% of the Chinese interviewees believe the future is promising because of medicine industry, renewable energy sources and computer. Compared with Chinese youngsters, youths in developed countries are more pessimistic (悲观的).
Of course there are some social reasons for the appearing of “the Beat Culture”. As urbanization (城市化) develops rapidly, youths living in big cities are facing new challenges that their forefathers have never faced before. Loneliness and feelings of insignificance and powerlessness are easy to get hold of the young people. Without proper care, they could threaten our mentality and cause many social problems. These problems probably need our attention more.
( ) 51. “The Beat culture” includes the following examples except that _______.
A. the young generation don’t feel like doing anything.
B. the young generation consider themselves dead fish. C. the young generation in big cities are facing new challenges. D. the young generation enjoy the song I feel like having been drained. ( ) 52. Which word has the most likely meaning of the “decadence” in Paragraph 2? A. 孤独 B. 懒惰 C. 快乐 D. 颓废 ( ) 53. What can we learn from the passage? A. Most people believe that with hard work, people can have their own day.
6
B. These days, young people suffer much more loneliness than their parents. C. Chinese youths are more negative than young people in developed countries. D. Social development does bring some pressure to the younger generation. ( ) 54. What’s the main idea of the text? A. The Chinese youths are not the beat generation. B. How does “the Beat Culture” affect the Chinese youth. C. “The Beat Culture” is positive to Chinese youngsters D. “The Beat Culture” is popular among the Chinese youngsters. ( ) 55. What’s the author’s attitude towards “the Beat Culture”?
A. Positive B. Pessimistic C. Negative D. Excited
( ) 56. Which of the following statements is true?
A. Nowadays, all the youths don’t want to do anything. B. We don’t need to care about this “beat culture” at all.
C. Youths in developed countries are more optimistic than the Chinese youngsters. D. Some social reasons cause the appearance of “the Beat Culture”.

How important is music? When they are asked this question, students and parents usually answer that music is nice, but not very important. It is often considered only as entertainment, but not the first choice for education. This opinion is shortsighted. In fact, music education is necessary and important for all students.
Music tells us who we are. Music reflects the creators' thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. For example, just as Mozart's music represents a lifestyle, rock music represents a lifestyle, too. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions.
Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way. Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music explores the emotive meanings. We need every possible way to discover and response to our world because there is no one way can get it all.
Music is a form of thought, as powerful as science. It is a way we human beings “talk” to each other. Through the language we express our feelings, our discoveries, our ideas, our imagination and our hopes so that they can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive good music education, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses. Science does not tell us what it means to be a human. Music does.
So music education is much more necessary than people generally realize.

Dear_Chen_Li，
I'm_glad_to_hear_from_you_and_know_that_you_are_coming_to_England_for_further_study. You asked me about the difficulties you may meet with in England. Now I'd like to tell you something about it.
First, you may have the problem with the language. You may find it difficult for you to communicate with the natives, because many of them have a strong accent. Besides, you may not get used to the western food here or even hate to have it for three meals. What's more, as you are far away from your family, you may feel lonely and miss you family and friends very much, especially at the very beginning.
However, you needn't worry about it. Several weeks later, you'll get used to the life here and love the place. Of course, I'll try my best to help you if necessary.
Look_forward_to_seeing_you_soon. Yours， Wang_Ping 1. 评分原则
