　　After the U．S．House of Representatives passed a bill aimed at retaliatory(报复的)action against China for its“significantly undervalued”currency, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner urged the IMF to pressure China to adopt“more flexible, more market-directed exchange-rate management”．This is a coded message to China：You're keeping on purpose your currency cheap, and the U．S．economy is paying the price．So cut it out－or else．The normally dull IMF meeting became the latest battleground for the U．S．to be against a fast developing China．

　　Our new conventional wisdom is that China's policy leads to make trade deficits(逆差)greater and the loss of American jobs．Dozens of candidates have run ads attacking a competitor for allowing China to take advantage of us．In the election-year view, China grew 10％ annually for the past decade while maintaining low inflation(通涨)only by taking advantage of its artificially low currency．The idea that the U．S．is not responsible for its own economy is a black-is-white view．It argues that China and its currency are causing the lion's share of harm．

　　This is an argument born of fear．It covers a fact that the economies of China and the U．S．have become beneficial to each other．Those trillions in reserves that China accumulates：Where do they go?Back to the U．S．in the form of lending money to the federal government．Those made-in-China goods that account for the trade deficit：Whom do they benefit?China, yes, but also American consumers and companies．Without China, American companies could not have maintained their profitability in recent years．Take two brand names, Caterpillar and Nike．Both have their products made in China, but both also view China as a fast-growing market for their products．

　　George Soros warned recently that a currency war could put the world into disorder more damaging than anything caused by the financial crisis of the 1930s．He's right．Whether we like it or not, we live in a global system．The zero-sum attitude toward China and its currency is a relic, the remaining of an earlier time when nations defined economic life．

　　China is far from perfect and seeks its own advantage, but holding it accountable for our domestic problems is beyond outdated．It reflects a dangerous refusal to deal with the world as it is．Retaliating against China over currency will not regain high-end jobs in the U．S．, which needs more our own demand．It will not renew construction or retool the American labor force．It will not rebuild rotting bridges or create a next-generation energy network．

(1)

Which of the following argument can be supported by the writer?
[　　]
A．	China is the winner in the Sino-US trade．
B．	China's rapid development over the past ten years is based on its low inflation．
C．	The world's economy will benefit from China's policy changes on its currency．
D．	The US will get hurt if it tries hard on damaging China's economy．

(2)

This passage is in a tone that is ________．
[　　]
A．	in favor of China
B．	in the shoes of US
C．	blaming China's low currency policy
D．	helping IMF solve the world's economic problem

(3)

The writer makes his point of view clear through the passage by using ________．
[　　]
A．	reasonable analysis
B．	leaders' quotations
C．	figure examples
D．	moving stories

(4)

China's currency policy ________．
[　　]
A．	will help increase the demand in the US
B．	is unable to equip the American labor force with new working skills
C．	could guide the world economy for the next decade
D．	is to be controlled by the international currency groups

“S．H．E．is going to sing at the CCTV annual Spring Festival Evening Party, is that true?” cried out Peng Weiye, a Senior 2 girl in Shanghai and die-hard（铁杆的） S．H．E．fan．

After checking it on the Internet, Peng quickly phoned friends to spread the news．For fans like her, S．H．E．’s performance is perhaps the only part of the old fashioned evening to get excited about．

The Taiwanese band is made up of Selina, Hebe and Ella．Their name comes from the first letter of each of the singers’ English names．

Last week S．H．E．announced they will perform in Las Vegas, US, over Christmas and then in Guangzhou on January 15．

At their Shanghai show on October 30, hundreds of parents waited outside the Hongkou Stadium．Thousands of teenagers sang, cried and shouted as the band performed．

“I love their music, healthy image and everything related to them．Thank God that, although my parents don’t understand why I love them so much, they still bought me a ticket for that show,” said Peng about the Shanghai performance．

It is not just on the mainland that the three girls have thrilled （make sb．excited） audiences．In the past year the band has passed through Taiwan, Hong Kong and even Singapore and Malaysia．

When the three high school girls entered a singing contest in Taiwan in 2000, none of them ever dreamed of being a superstar．“We had never met before, and we didn’t talk at all at the beginning,” recalled Ella．

When asked about the secret of their success, she said, “Our average looks and not-so-expensive clothes keep us close to our fans．We are happy to be the girl next door, your singing sisters．”

“ It’s really a magical journey, from day- dreaming high school girls to singers performing on the same stage as our idols．Nothing but magical,” she said．

　　Material culture refers to the touchable, material “things”－physical objects that can be seen, held, felt, used－that a culture produces．Examining a culture’s tools and technology can tell us about the group’s history and way of life．Similarly, research into the material culture of music can help us to understand the music-culture．The most vivid body of “things”in it, of course, are musical instruments．We cannot hear for ourselves the actual sound of any musical performance before the 1870s when the phonograph was invented, so we depend on instruments for important information about music-cultures in the remote(faraway in time)past and their development．

　　Here we have two kinds of evidence：instruments well-kept and instruments pictured in art．Through the study of instruments, as well as paintings, written documents, and so on, we can explore the movement of music from the Near East to China over a thousand years ago, or we can outline the spread of Near Eastern effect to Europe that resulted in the development of most of the instruments in the symphony orchestra．

　　Sheet music or printed music, too, is material culture．Scholars once defined folk music-cultures as those in which people learn and sing music by ear rather than from print, but research shows each other’s influence among oral and written sources during the past few centuries in Europe, Britain and America．Printed versions limit variety because they are likely to standardize any song, yet they encourage and force people to make new and different songs．Besides, the ability to read music notation has a far-reaching effect on musicians and, when it becomes widespread, on the music-culture as a whole．

　　One more important part of music’s material culture should be singled out：the effect of the electronic media-radio, record player, tape recorder, television, and video cassette, with the future promising talking and singing computers and other developments．This is all part of the “information revolution”, a twentieth-century phenomenon as important as the industrial revolution was in the nineteenth．These electronic media are not just limited to modern nations; they have affected music-cultures all over the world．

(1)

Research into the material culture of a nation is of great importance because ________．
[　　]
A．	it helps produce new cultural tools and technology
B．	it can express the development of the nation
C．	it helps understand the nation’s past and present
D．	it can present the nation’s civilization(文明)

(2)

It can be learned from this passage that ________．
[　　]
A．	the existence of the symphony was regarded as a thing caused by the spread of Near Eastern and Chinese music
B．	Near Eastern music had an effect on the development of the instruments in the symphony orchestra
C．	the development of the symphony shows the effect of Eastern and Western music between each other
D．	the musical instruments in the symphony orchestra was developed on the basis of Near Eastern music

(3)

According to the author, music notation(乐谱)is important because ________．
[　　]
A．	it has a great effect on the music-culture as more and more people are able to read it
B．	it is likely to standardize folk songs when it is used by folk musicians
C．	it is the printed version of standardized folk music
D．	it encourages people to popularize printed versions of songs

(4)

Which of the following best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
[　　]
A．	Musical instruments developed through the years will sooner or later be replaced by computers．
B．	Music cannot be passed on to future generations unless it is recorded．
C．	Folk songs cannot be spread far unless they are printed on music sheets．
D．	The development of music culture is highly dependent on its material world．
