题目内容

The Chinese word “Shanzhai” means a small mountain village, but now it becomes an accepted name for fakes (假货) after “Shanzhai Cellphones” produced by small workshops in southern China became popular in the mainland market over the past two years.

       Besides “Shanzhai” has electronic products, there are “Shanzhai” movies, “Shanzhai” stars and even a “Shanzhai” Spring Festival Gala, a copy of the 25-year-old traditional show presented by CCTV on Chinese Lunar New Year’s Eve.

       “Shanzhai” has become a culture of its own, symbolizing anything that imitates something famous.The phenomenon has caused a public debate over whether it is healthy or sick being a copycat.

       In southwestern China’s Chongqing Municipality, a “Shanzhai” version “Bird’s Nest” woven by farmers with bamboo attracts wide attention and the “Shanzhai” version “Water Cube” is popular with tourists too.Both are copies of the famous Olympics buildings in Beijing.

       Xie Xizhang, a literature critic, said that taking the “Shanzhai” Gala as an example, when the traditional CCTV program becomes less and less attractive to the audience, the “Shanzhai” version appears naturally to attract people.“In spite of its poor techniques and operation, ‘Shanzhai’culture meets the psychological demands of common people and could be a comfort to their minds,” Xie said.

       Tian Huiqun, a professor at Beijing Normal University, said that “Shanzhai” culture never copies classic things, only trendy products.In that sense, it’s like a computer virus, multiplying without meaning.

       Though controversial, “Shanzhai” culture is becoming a widely accepted phenomenon.

       To the mainstream culture, the rise of “Shanzhai” culture is a challenge as well as a motivation, said Xie.Tian said different kinds of cultures developing together is an ideal situation and it is for the public to choose.

The Chinese Word“Shanzhai”may have its origin in _________.

       A.fake cellphones           B.electronic products

       C.Spring Festival Gala     D.Olympics buildings

The underlined word “imitates” is closest in meaning to _______.

       A.steals               B.copies              C.advertises       D.cheats

According to the passage, “Shanzhai” culture refers to ________.

       A.The action that a person imitates famous people

       B.anything that imitates something famous

       C.those similar names to famous brand

       D.products with poor techniques and quality

We can infer that the mainstream culture ________.

       A.will be held back by “Shanzhai” culture

       B.will sooner or later be replaced by “Shanzhai”culture

       C.may develop faster because of the challenging of “Shanzhai”culture

     Ever felt like destroying the car in front of you when you're
stuck in an endless traffic jam?
     Well ,the Spanish company StopStress is offering clients(客户 )
the possibility of doing just that-but in controlled ,safe conditions.
     Clients can also destroy computers, mobile phones and TV sets
in what the company calls" destructible therapy" ( therapy : treatment
of a medical disorder).
     "We target the machines that cause the most stress in modern
life,"company co-founder Jorge Arribas said in a telephone inter-
view. "People get rid of stress by screaming and beating the ma-
chines until they are tired out. "he explained.
     The company, based in the northern Spanish city of Soria, uses
deserted cars that still work. Heavy-metal music is used to excite
the clients. They are given protective suits and glasses, helmets and
huge hammers.
     Most people's rage only lasts for 5 to 10 minutes. But some go
on for hours : they beat cars on which they've put the names of people
or ideas they would like to get rid of.
     "Some even get together to turn the car over, "Arribas says. A
session costs 60 euros(US $80)per person.
     Arribas says the idea came to him when he was having trouble
parking his car.
     "Dozens of people have used the therapy, which helps people
become aware of their stress level and helps them to slow down,"
Arribas explained.
     "It's better to channel violence in a controlled way than to get
it out on one's husband and wife or in a traffic jam. "he added.
