　　Ⅳ.阅读理解

　　Barack's got it，Jobs had it，Gaga's definitely got

　　it...let's get cool

　　BARACK Obama，Lady Gaga and Steve Jobs—what do they have in common？They are，of course，all Americans.And according to a survey by social networking site badoo.com，they all best illustrate (举例说明) the word“cool”．

　　But just what does it mean to say someone is“cool”？Most would answer that it is something to do with being independent­minded and not following the crowd.

　　Yale University art professor Robert Farris Thompson says that the term“cool”goes back to 15th century West African philosophy(哲学). “Cool”relates to ideas of grace (优雅) under pressure.

　　“In Africa，”he writes，“coolness is a positive quality which combines calmness，silence，and life.”

　　The modern idea of“cool”developed largely in the US in the period after World War Ⅱ.“Post­war‘cool’was in part an expression of war­weariness(厌战)．..it went against the strict social rules of the time，”write sociologists Dick Pountain and David Robins in Cool Rules：Anatomy of an Attitude.

　　But it was the American actor James Dean who became the symbol for“cool”in the hugely successful 1955 movie Rebel Without a Cause.Dean plays a tough guy who disobeys his parents and the authorities.He always gets the girl，smokes cigarettes，wears a leather jacket and beats up bullies(欺凌弱小者). In the movie，Dean showed what“cool” would mean to American young people for the next 60 years.

　　Today the focus of “cool” has changed to athletics stars.Often in movies about schools，students gain popularity on the athletics field more than in the classroom.This can be seen quite clearly in movies like Varsity Blues and John Tucker Must Die.

　　But many teenagers also think being smart is cool.Chess and other thinking games have been becoming more popular in schools.

　　“Call it the Harry Potterization of America—a time when being smart is the new cool，”writes journalist Joe Sunnen.

　　[语篇解读]　“酷”到底意味着什么？本文追寻不同时代人们对“酷”的理解，到如今“Lady嘎嘎”“乔布斯”等，向我们展示了“酷”的变化。

　　1．What does the article mainly talk about?

　　A．The origin of the word “cool”．

　　B．The kinds of people who are “cool”.

　　C．The changing meaning of the word “cool”.

　　D．How to be a “cool” person.

　　【解析】　主旨大意题。由全文可知本文主要讨论了“酷”一词的意思的变化。

　　【答案】　C

　　2．If you were considered “cool” in Africa in the 15th century，you________.

　　A．thought and acted differently from the majority

　　B．had a calm and quiet attitude towards life

　　C．didn't observe rules or authorities

　　D．had all kinds of “bad” manners

　　【解析】　细节理解题。由文中第四段“coolness is a positive quality which combines calmness，silence，and life.” 可知B项正确。

　　【答案】　B

　　3．The heroes in Varsity Blues and John Tucker Must Die are likely to be those who________.

　　A．do very well in their studies

　　B．are very skilled at sports

　　C．are good at chess and thinking games

　　D．have supernatural powers like Harry Potter

　　【解析】　细节理解题。由文中倒数第三段可知B项正确。

　　【答案】　B

　　【参考范文】　

　　Dear_Wang_Peng，

　　I'm Li Ming, a middle school student in our town. I love our town very much. I'm writing to tell you what I think should be built where the old hotel is. Why not build a beautiful garden here? For one thing，there is no garden in our town. If we build one here, all citizens in our town, especially the children and senior citizens will have a good place to enjoy themselves. For another, a beautiful garden may increase our awareness of environmental protection, thus creating a better town. I do hope my advice can be adopted.

　　I am looking forward to your replay.

　　Yours，

　　Li_Ming
