Answer 1

分析 本文作者通过分析什么是流行文化以及举例说明美国的流行文化之所以能传播到世界各地的原因，旨在说明文化在人们的生活中扮演着极为重要的角色，并可以不断地改变人们的生活方式．

解答 答案：
71．B   细节推理题    根据上文提到的结论"It's clear that culture is playing an important role in people's life and constantly changing people's lifestyles．"（文化在人们的生活中扮演着重要的角色，并不断改变着人们的生活方式）以及下一句"When you think of American culture，what first comes to your mind？"具体的谈到了美国文化；可知此处应与引出下一句中的American culture（美国文化）有关；故选B
72．G   细节推理题       根据上一句讲到"McDonald's？Coca Cola？Levi's？Disneyland？Michael Jordan？Julia Roberts？"这些美国文化中所具有的标志性的人或物，并结合各选项，可知"G．Many people imagine American culture is a collection of popular symbols like these"提到了"popular symbols like these"，正是对上面句子的概括，意为：许多人把美国文化想象成是一个像这样的流行的符号集合；故选G
73．D  内容归纳以及细节推理题      通读第二段可知，本段主要从几个方面解释了"What is pop culture？"；一方面是"The origins of pop culture can often be traced to popular movies，television shows，music stars and sports figures．（流行文化的起源可以追溯到流行的电影、电视节目、音乐明星和体育人物）"；根据文中最后一句"Finally，pop culture is easy to package and to export．For that reason，it is easy to"sell"to the world．（最后，流行文化很容易包装和出口，因为这个原因，它很容易"卖"到世界上．）"，可知D．"Pop culture is also promoted by business and advertising．"（流行文化也促进了商业和广告）表达的应是对流行文化另一方面的解释；故选D
74．C   细节推理题     根据下一句讲到了"One major reason for its popularity is that English is a universal language．"美国文化广泛流行的原因，可推测出此处指的应是它的流行程度，即美国流行文化在世界各地蔓延；故选C
75．E    细节推理题     根据下一句提到了"The kind of American culture communicated in those media is pop culture（在那些媒体上传播的美国文化是流行文化）"，其中的"those media （medium的复数）"指的应是"E．Also，America is a world leader in movies，music and magazines．"中的movies，music and magazines；故选E
