Ⅱ.阅读理解
The latest Chinese “god song” (an Internet term to describe pop songs that spread virally through the Internet) is still stirring up fierce debates between those who view it as a milestone for Chinese pop music going global and those who regard it as a bad image of China.
Last week, Little Apple, written and performed by the Chopsticks Brothers, won the AMA International Song Award and the duo performed the song at the 2017 American Music Awards in Los Angeles. Another Chinese pop singer, Zhang Jie, won the International Artist Award.
But while fans of these singers are thinking highly of the awards and the performance by the Chopsticks Brothers at the AMA celebration, there are others who are less excited. They have questioned the value of the awards and what effects it will have on Chinese culture’s “going abroad”, claiming it may leave foreign audiences with a poor impression of Chinese pop music, and even Chinese culture.
The Little Apple phenomenon, both home and abroad, can be more easily understood and judged if we look at it from a business perspective rather than a cultural perspective. The professional promoters behind the duo have developed a clear strategy to promote the duo and their works, not just this particular song. Little Apple was originally released to promote the duo抯 film Old Boys: The Way of the Dragon.
lFrom the very beginning a viral marketing strategy was used to promote the song, which immediately went viral on the Internet due to its repetitive rhythm, easy-to-remember lyrics, simple and funny dance and, most importantly, grass roots nature. The video accumulated more than 1 billion hits on China’s major video websites.
Although the song was generally dismissed by music professionals who criticized it as 搈usical junk food? Little Apple抯 popularity nationally paved the way for promoting the duo internationally.
1. The writer抯 attitude to the song of Little Apple is ___ideo_____.
A. opposed
B. negative
C. objective
D. critical
2. What do the underlined words “the duo” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Little Apple.
B. Chopsticks Brothers.
C. Zhang Jie.
D. American singers.
3. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. Little Apple抯 popularity is also a success of marketing strategy
B. Little Apple is generally thought worthless by the AMA
C. Little Apple is really popular with all people in China
D. Little Apple was originally released as a pop song on the Internet
e答案与解析

3. 答案
A
解析
根据倒数第二段的第一句From the very beginning a viral marketing strategy was used to promote the song, which immediately went viral on the Internet due to its repetitive rhythm, easy-to-remember lyrics, simple and funny dance and, most importantly, grass roots nature可推知,《小苹果》的流行本身就证明了它是一个成功的营销策略,故选A项。
By Agencies in Stockholm (Oct. 10, 2017 China Daily)
Patrick Modiano of France, whose work focuses on the Nazi occupation and its effects on his country, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday.
The Swedish Academy gave the $1.12 million prize to Modiano for the art of memory with which he has evoked the most ungraspable human fate and uncovered the life-world of the occupation.
Modiano, 69, whose novel Missing Person won the famous Prix Goncourt in 1978, was born in a west Paris suburb in July 1945, two months after World War Ⅱ ended in Europe.
His father was of Jewish-Italian origins and met Modiano’s Belgian actress mother during the German occupation of Paris and Modiano’s beginnings have strongly influenced his own writing.
Jewishness, the German occupation and loss of identity are repeated themes in his novels.
Modiano owes his first big break to a friend of his mother’s — French writer Raymond Queneau, who first introduced him to the Gallimard publishing house when he was in his early 20s.
Modiano, who lives in Paris, is known to escape media, and rarely receives interviews. In 2017, he won the Austrian State Prize for European Literature.
?You could say he’s a Marcel Proust of our time,” Peter Englund, secretary of the Swedish Academy, told reporters.
Some of Modiano抯 approximately 30 works include A Trace of Malice and Honeymoon.
SCanadian writer Alice Munro won the literature prize last year.
This year’s Nobel Prize announcements started on Monday with a US-British scientist splitting the medicine prize with a Norwegian husband-and-wife team for brain research that could pave the way for a better understanding of diseases like Alzheimer’s.
Two Japanese researchers and a Japanese-born American won the physics prize. The chemistry prize on Wednesday went to two US citizens and a German researcher.
The announcements continue on Friday with the Nobel Peace Prize and the economics award on Monday.
As always, the awards will be presented on Dec. 10, the anniversary of prize founder Alfred Nobel’s death in 1896.
1. What can we infer from the text about Modiano?
A. He was born just before World War Ⅱ ended.
B. He is half of Jewish origin because of his father.
C. His life in his childhood has a great influence on his works.
D. He lives in the capital of France, frequently interviewed by the media.
2. ________ may be the main theme of his works.
A. Politics and economy
B. People’s sufferings in the war
C. Folk stories in France
D. Development of his country
3. What does the underlined word “evoked” (Paragraph 2) mean?
A. Bring about.
B. Put forward.
C. Come up with.
D. Set down.
4. Which of the following would be the best title?
A. Patrick Modiano — A Great Writer
B. A Nobel Prize Winner
C. Patrick Modiano Won the Nobel Prize D. Life of a French Writer
答案与解析
