7．Fifty years ago，the well-loved musician Bob Dylan played at the Newport Folk Festival and was widely booed （嘘声）．The audience may have been unhappy but Dylan's performance helped change the direction of music and culture in the United States．
The mid-1960s were a time of great change．One such place of change was the world of folk music．Bob Dylan became a symbol of change when he moved from acoustic （原声的） to electric guitar．
Rock music historian Elijah Wald has written a new book about the change．It is called"Dylan Goes Electric．""There was a moment in the early 1960s when you could look at the Billboard charts and seven of the top 10albums were folk records．And Joan Baez，Peter Paul and Mary，the Kingston Trio，all had huge，huge，huge number-one records．"
And then this happened：The"British Invasion"introduced the world to the Beatles and grew a huge fan base for rock music．That worried many folk musicians，says Elijah Wald．They hoped that Bob Dylan would come to the rescue．However，a new Dylan sound came from the stage．
Bob Dylan had gone electric，and the followers of folk music were not pleased．"When Dylan went electric，I think one of the issues was the feeling that-wait a minute，he's gone over to the enemy．"
Folk lovers had looked to Bob Dylan to save their movement from rock and roll．But，author Wald says Dylan felt differently about the music．"Dylan had always liked rock and roll and Dylan didn't think of rock and roll as stupid music．"
In fact，Dylan was a Beatles fan．He later said that from the first time he heard the Beatles he knew"they were pointing to the direction where music had to go．"
Beyond the music，Dylan's performance that night also marked a turn in American culture．

27．What did folk musicians and followers expect Dylan to do？B
A．Change folk music for better．
B．Recover the glory of folk music．

D．Play rock and roll against the Beatles．
28．What will the author most probably talk about next？D

4．High-tech machines have made life easier for millions around the world．However，some people still prefer low-tech ways of doing things．Here's an example of why this is happening．You can microwave a frozen hamburger in 60 seconds．However，it won't taste as good as one you cook on the stove．And if you're in that much of a hurry，you probably won't take time to toast the bun High-tech cooking saves time，but it doesn't make for better-tasting meals．
Most people get their news from high-tech sources like television or the Internet．This has many advantages．For example，electronic news is more up to date than newspapers or magazines．It's also more exciting to see live and videotaped news events than photographs．However，newspapers and magazines have some important advantages．They give more background and details．They also let you read the parts that are important to you and skip the rest．
Other high-tech time savers have similar disadvantages．For example，most people use the phone or e-mail to stay in touch with friends and family members who live in other places．But when you use the Internet or the phone，you won't always think carefully about what you are saying，and sometimes you forget the important things you want to communicate．Similarly，when you word-process a homework assignment instead of handwriting it you can check your spelling electronically and put in fancy headings．However，some students are so busy with the computer that they don't pay enough attention to the actual words they are writing．

29．What do we know about high-tech cooking？D
A．It can't make much food．
B．It is popular with every family．

8．When I was nine years old，I loved to go fishing with my dad．But the only thing that wasn't very fun about it was that he could catch many fish while I couldn't catch anything．I usually got pretty upset and kept asking him why．He always answered，"Son，if you want to catch a fish，you have to think like a fish"，I remember being even more upset then because，"I'm not a fish!"I didn't know how to think like a fish．Besides，I reasoned，how could what I think influence what a fish does？
As I got a little older I began to understand what my dad really meant．So，I read some books on fish．And I even joined the local fishing club and started attending the monthly meetings．I learned that a fish is a cold-blooded animal and therefore is very sensitive to water temperature．That is why fish prefer shallow water to deep water because the former is warmer．Besides，water is usually warmer in direct sunlight than in the shade．Yet，fish don't have any eyelids（眼皮） and the sun hurts their eyes…The more I understood fish，the more I became effective at finding and catching them．
When I grew up and entered the business world，I remember hearing my first boss say，"We all need to think like sales people．"But it didn't completely make sense．My dad never once said，"If you want to catch a fish you need to think like a fisherman．"What he said was，"You need to think like a fish．"Years later，with great efforts to promote long-term services to people much older and richer than me，I gradually learned what we all need is to think more like customers．It is not an easy job．I will show you how in the following chapters．

4．Why was the author upset in fishing trips when he was nine？A
A．He could not catch a fish．
B．His father was not patient with him．
C．His father did not teach him fishing．
D．He could not influence a fish as his father did．
5．What did the author's father really mean？C

D．To study fishing in many ways．
6．According to the author，fish are most likely to be foundD．
A．in deep water on sunny days
B．in deep water on cloudy days
C．in shallow water under sunlight
D．in shallow water under waterside trees．
7．After entering the business world，the author foundB．

9．In his 1930 essay"Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren"，John Keynes，a famous economist，wrote that human needs fall into two classes：absolute needs，which are independent of what others have，and relative needs，which make us feel superior to our fellows．He thought that although relative needs may indeed be insatiable （无止境的），this is not true of abolute needs．
Keynes was surely correct that only a small part of total spending is decided by the desire for superiority．He was greatly mistaken，however，in seeing this desire as the only source of insatiable demands．
Decisions to spend are also driven by ideas of quality which can influence the demands for almost all goods，including even basic goods like food．When a couple goes out for an anniversary dinner，for example，the thought of feeling superior to others probably never comes to them．Their goal is to share a special meal that stands out from other meals．
There are no obvious limits to the escalation of demand for quality．For example，Porsche，a famous car producer，has a model which was considered perhaps the best sport car on the market Priced at over $120，000，it handles perfectly well and has great speed acceleration．But in 2004，the producer introduced some changes which made the model slightly better in handling and acceleration．People who really care about cars find these small improvements exciting．To get them，however，they must pay almost four times the prices．
By placing the desire to be superior to others at the heart of his description of insatiable demands，Keynes actually reduced such demands．However，the desire for higher quality has no natural limits．

56．According to the passage，John Keynes Believed thatC．
A．desire is the root of both absolute and relative needs
B．absolute needs come fom our sense of superiority
C．relative needs alone lead to insatiable demands
D．absolute needs are stronger than relative needs
57．What does the word"escalation"paragraph 4probably mean？B
A．Understanding．
B．Incease．
C．Difference．
D．Expectation．
58．The author of the passage argues thatA．
A．absolute needs have no limits
B．demands for quality are not insatiable
C．human desires influence ideas of quality
D．relative needs decide most of our spending．
