4．The insanely popular song from South Korean recording artist PSY has just become the most watched video on YouTube ever，gaining more than 808million views on the popular media site．
The record was previously held by another pop heavyweight，Justin Bieber，whose song"Baby"had a little more than 804million views at press time．PSY made the announcement early today．
Since its release，the song has outshone such other popular videos as Jennifer Lopez's"On the Floor．"and Eminem's"Love the Way You Lie"．
And in September，"Gangnam Style"also became the most liked video on YouTube，now with nearly 5.4million thumbs up．
At the time of the announcement，the Guinness Book of World Records released a statement saying："In years past it was unthinkable that something would be viewed a hundred million times，and now Gangnam Style has achieved more than twice this figure in just three months on YouTube．PSY，your certificate is waiting here at our office，come and pick it up any time!"
Despite its massive popularity，the video shows no signs of slowing down，and it even has a shot at becoming the first video to get more than one billion views．
If it maintains its current rate of around six million new views per day，"Gangnam Style"would be in line to break that record by the end of the year．
It has found its way to the tops of music charts in more than 30countries，including the United Kingdom，Germany，F(xiàn)rance，Spain and Canada，while providing material for thousands of parody videos．
It became a staple in the 2012presidential elections with the now ramous"Mitt Romney Style"video and was even used by the North Korean government in propaganda（宣傳）films promoting their supreme leader．Meanwhile，such influential figures as President Obama，UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt have all made mention of the hit song．

26．Which of the following ranks second in views on YouTube？B
A．Gangnam Style．  B．Baby．
C．On the Floor．  D．Love the Way You Lie．

D．It has more than two hundred million views in three months．
28．What does the statement made by the Guinness Book of World Records suggest？C
A．Some video gained more views than Gangnam Style．
B．It is impossible that Gangnam Style should have 100million views．
C．Guinness Book of World Records has recognized Gangnam Style's achievements．

C．Few influential figures know it．

分析 本文報道了韓國歌手PSY創(chuàng)作的歌曲江南style在音樂榜單的關(guān)注度不斷提高，成為音樂榜首位，且視頻點擊量也在節(jié)節(jié)攀升，甚至成為總統(tǒng)選舉視頻中的分支．可見江南style的流行程度．

解答 26．B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章"The insanely popular song from South Korean recording artist PSY has just become the most watched video on YouTube ever，gaining more than 808million views on the popular media site．The record was previously held by another pop heavyweight，Justin Bieber，whose song"Baby"had a little more than 804million views at press time"可知，在 YouTube，"Baby"的點擊量僅次于江南style排名第二．故選B．
27．C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章"now with nearly 5.4million thumbs up"可知，有近5.4億人點贊，而不是"thumbs down"，故選C．
28．C．推理預(yù)測題．根據(jù)吉尼斯的紀(jì)錄說明"In years past it was unthinkable that something would be viewed a hundred million times，and now Gangnam Style has achieved more than twice this figure in just three months on YouTube．PSY，your certificate is waiting here at our office，come and pick it up any time"可知，吉尼斯已經(jīng)認(rèn)可江南style的成就．故選C．
29．A．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章"it even has a shot at becoming the first video to get more than one billion views．"可知，江南style有個鏡頭已經(jīng)有十億的瀏覽量，可推測，這首歌按照這種播放速度發(fā)展，這首歌將會超過十億的播放量．故選A．
30．B．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)文章"It became a staple in the 2012presidential elections with the now ramous"Mitt Romney Style"video and was even used by the North Korean government in propaganda films promoting their supreme leader．"可知，江南style在美國總統(tǒng)選舉時，是總統(tǒng)風(fēng)格視頻的一個部分．故選B．

點評 本文為新聞報道類閱讀．新聞報道類在英語閱讀理解中是一種特點十分鮮明的題材．因為文章往往呈現(xiàn)出"倒金字塔"的特征，此類題的英語閱讀理解技巧是重點看導(dǎo)語．導(dǎo)語位于新聞報道的首段，高度概括新聞事實，通過它點出新聞的主題，其次尋找關(guān)鍵詞，理解題意，做出解答．

14．Raising Confident Kids
Self-esteem（自尊） is a collection of beliefs or feelings we have about ourselves．Having a healthy self-esteem can protect us through difficult times and help us remain focused on what is important to us．Research shows that children with high self-esteem grow up to be more confident adults．Self-esteem building should start from young．（36）F
Praise actions
Young children need feedback．It's how they measure their actions and it plays a role in learning from experience．Provide specific praise about actual actions performed and efforts made in the process．（37）D．
Identify strengths
Preschoolers are always watching each other．On the bright side，they learn new things from each other．On the other side，they can become self-critical when they see a peer accomplishing something they still struggle to do．（38）ETell your children to focus on their strengths when they start to draw comparisons．
Foster（培養(yǎng)） a sense of belonging
Young children may not understand how peer pressure （同齡人的壓力） works，but they feel it when they're being excluded（排除）．Show your children that they are important by listening to and responding to their needs and ideas．As much as possible，save grown-up conversations for later so that you can have family conversations． （39）C
（40）AAs much as they need us，they also need to work on taking small steps towards independence．When they know they can do things，they feel more confident．Teach problem-solving skills．Step aside and let them work on challenges before jumping in to help．Help by asking，"How can we do this in a different way？Let's come up with some ideas together．"Getting kids involved in problem-solving teaches them how to deal with challenges in the future．
Building and maintaining healthy self-esteem can be a lifelong process，but the sooner you start，the more confident your children will become．

A．Encourage Independence
B．Spend quality time with children
C．Try to address their concerns as they arise，no matter how minor．
D．If praise is only attached to success，kids will focus on"winning"．
E．Be sure to point out your children's strengths regularly and be specific．

9．Chinese media and Internet users on Monday condemned lack of morals in society after a toddler was struck twice-by two different vans-and left bleeding on the road as more than a dozen bystanders did nothing to help the seriously injured girl．
The incident，captured by a surveillance camera and broadcast by Southern Television Guangdong （TVS），showed the two-year-old girl was knocked down and run over by a white van on a narrow market street on the afternoon of Oct．13，in Foshan City of Guangdong Province．
The driver fled the scene of the accident，leaving the girl to bleed on the sidewalk．Over the next six minutes，more than a dozen people walked by the girl，yet not one individual did anything to help her．The girl was then hit a second time by another van before an elderly trash collector came to her aid and brought the attention of the girl's  mother，according to the video and eyewitnesses．
Doctors said that the girl，who was put on life support after being hospitalized，remains in a deep coma．The girl's parents，who are migrants living in the city，are now with her．
Police said the drivers of both vehicles have been arrested．However，the apathy of the bystanders shown in the video has shocked the public，as Internet forums have seethed with anger，and people are questioning the morality of society．
High moral standards were once triumphed as national pride in China where individuals known for selflessly helping others were adored by the public．
But in recent years，the perception（觀念）of a decline of morals has become a hot topic as profit and materialism are perceived to be affecting society's values．
On Sept．2 an 88-year-old man in central China collapsed，his face striking the pavement．Yet，no one came to his aid，and he ended up choking to death on the blood from his nose．
Some have linked the absence of good Samaritans （模范人物）to a previous case in which a man trying to help an elderly woman who fell was accused of harming her．
A strong chorus of opinion on the Internet says laws should exempt（免除）Samaritans from liability（責(zé)任），yet laws themselves cannot solve society's  morality dilemma．
Cao Lin，a China Youth Daily commentator，said in a signed article published on Monday that the worry of liability should not be an excuse for not helping，and this case exposes the decline of humanity in Chinese society．

56．According to the passage，what would happen if someone helped others selflessly in the past？D
    A．He/she would be condemned by the public．
    B．He/she would be awarded by the government．
    C．He/she would have to worry about liability．
    D．The public would feel proud of him/her and thus showed love and respect for him/her
57．Which of the following is TRUE about this passage？C
    A．Nobody helped the girl who was struck twice by two different vans．
    B．The toddler died immediately after she was hit a second time．
    C．High moral standards were once regarded as national pride in China．
    D．Journalists from TVS captured the incident by using a camera．
58．In recent years，society's values is believed to be affected byA．
    A．profit and materialism               B．people's perceptions
    C．the apathy of bystanders             D．the morals of society
59．According to Cao Lin，what is the fundamental reason for not helping the girl？C
    A．The worry of liability．
    B．Lack of laws that exempt Samaritans from liability．
    C．The decline of humanity in society．
    D．The fear of being accused of harming her．
60．Where is the article most probably taken from？B
    A．A fashion magazine．                
    B．A news report．
    C．A science fiction．                                     
    D．An education column．
