The popular song ‘Gangnam Style’ from South Korean recording artist PSY has just become the most watched video on YouTube ever, getting more than 808 million views on the popular media site.

The distinction was previously held by another pop heavyweight, Justin Bieber, whose song ‘Baby’ had a little more than 804 million views at press time. PSY made the announcement on his Twitter page earlier today.

Since its release, the song has defeated such other popular videos as Jennifer Lopez’s ‘On the Floor’ and Eminem's ‘Love the Way You Lie’. And in September, 'Gangnam Style' also became the most liked video on YouTube, now with nearly 5.4 million thumbs up.

At the time of the announcement, the Guinness Book of World Records released a statement saying: “In years past it was unthinkable that something would be viewed a hundred million times, and now Gangnam Style has achieved more than twice this figure in just three months on YouTube. PSY, your certificate is waiting here at our office, come pick it up any time!”

Despite its massive popularity, the video shows no signs of slowing down, and it even has a shot at becoming the first video to get more than one billion views.

If it maintains its current rate of around six million new views per day, ‘Gangnam Style’ would be in line to break that record by the end of the year.

The YouTube honors are just the latest in a long list that shows just how popular the song has become. Since it was released in July, the song has seen a meteoric rise through the music industry.

It has found its way to the tops of music charts in more than 30 countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain and Canada, while providing material for thousands of parody(恶搞)videos.

It became part of the 2012 presidential elections with the now famous ‘Mitt Romney Style’ video and was even used by the North Korean government in propaganda films promoting their supreme leader.

Meanwhile, such influential figures as President Obama, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt have all made mention of the hit song.

1.This passage mainly talks about a world famous________.

A. music chart                         B. video website

C. music video                         C. Korean pop singer

2.Which of the following about “Gangnam Style” is NOT true according to the passage?

A.“Gangnam Style” has defeated Justin Bieber’s “Baby” on You Tube’s views.

B.“Gangnam Style” has been the favorite to at least 5.4 million people.

C.“Gangnam Style” has been recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records.

D.“Gangnam Style” has been the first to get more than 1 billion views.

3.What can we infer from this passage?

A.The influence of “Gangnam Style” has spread far and wide

B.Obama won the presidential election partly because of the ‘Mitt Romney Style’ video.

C.Despite its massive popularity, the fever of “Gangnam Style” has decreased.

D.PSY will become one of the greatest musicians due to the popularity of “Gangnam Style”.

      The English language is changing fast, thanks to the rapid progress of technology. We all have a rapid choice: we can either bury our heads in the sand and spend the rest of our lives wishing Shakespeare were alive and well. Or we can embrace (拥抱) the new English, enter into the spirit of the Internet age called Weblish.

       “You can’t avoid it, for the simple reason that whenever a new variety of language comes along, it inevitably (不可避免的) impacts(冲击)on the language as a whole.” says Dr. David Crystal, honorary professor of linguistics(语言学)at the University of Wales in Bangor, whose book Language and the Internet has just been published.

       The trouble with keeping up with the new English is not so much that there are so many new words but that the old words no longer mean what we thought they did. In the past, if someone said they did not have Windows, you would have to suppose they lived in a cave. These days, it is probably because they use a Mac (which is a computer, not a rain coat). Spam is as disliked as it ever was ,but it once meant an unappetizing(引不起食欲的)canned meat. It now stands for unwanted “junk” email. Spellings are changing, too. Not only is text-messaging playing “hvc wth vrbs” (havoc(混乱)with verbs), but the conventions of email communication place little emphasis on “perfect speaking”.

       Weblish loves to see nouns happily become verbs (“please bookmark this site”), and verbs become nouns (“Send me the download”). Verbs and prepositions are regularly thrown together to become new nouns or adjectives (e.g. dial-up, logon, print-on-demand, pull-down, upload), while others are created from simply pairing nouns: cyberspace, Etl, hyperlink, netspeak.

The best title of this passage would be ______.

      A. Keep Up with the Latest Weblish      B. Keep Up with the Latest Development      

   C. Newly Invented English Words        D. Technology and English

We can infer(推断)from the first paragraph that ______.

      A. Some people wish Shakespeare were still alive

      B. people may have different attitudes towards Weblish

      C. all people welcome Weblish

      D. Weblish is not popular among people

The author thinks the main difficulty for people in keeping up with Weblish is that ______.

      A. old words have new meanings

      B. there are so many new words

      C. the technology is changing too fast

      D. Weblish words are full of spelling mistakes

Dr. David Crystal would probably agree that ______.

      A. people should not accept Weblish

      B. Weblish can cause misunderstandings among people

      C. Weblish will destroy the English language

      D. people should know something about Weblish

Writing being largely a self-taught occupation, texts on how to get about it -though great in number- seldom are of much use. .www.7caiedu.cn

You try, and fail. Then try again. Until at last, if you have some gift for it, the failures become less frequent, or at any rate less apparantly.

It is this ability to cover up one’s defects that is finally regarded as accomplishment or achievement.

Along the way there are the discouragements of unkind criticism, outright rejection, troublesome insecurity and irregular inability to meet debts.

It is uncommon, therefore, to come across a book containing advice of much practical value for anyone toying(漫不经心地考虑) with the dangerous idea of staring on a writing life.

A friend recently lent me such a book, however - one I wish I’d had the luck to read years ago, and which I would recommend to any young person devoted to making a career of words. It is the autobiography (自传) of the English novelist Anthony Trollope, first published in 1883, the year after his death.

Needing some means to support himself, Trollope at age 19 worked as a junior clerk in the British postal service. He was at his desk at 5:30 each morning to write for three hours. And he remained in the mail service 33 years, long after reputation and prosperity had come to him.

Now, what of his advice in his works?

1. For safety’s sake, arm yourself with some other skills, some other line of work to fall back on(求助)。 That way, failure at writing, though the disappointment may appear, will not mean ruin.

2. Do not depend too much on inspiration. Writing is a craft, which Trollope compared to the craft of shoemaking. The shoemaker who has just turned out one pair of his work sets to work immediately on the next pair.

3. Have a story to tell, but, more important than that, people with characters who will speak and move as living creatures in the reader’s mind. Without memorable characters, story alone is nothing.

4. Meet your deadlines. Life is endlessly “painful and troublesome” for writers who can’t finish their work on time.

5. Do not be carried away by praise. And, above all, do not be injured by criticism.

6. Understand the risks of writing for a living. “The career, when successful, is pleasant enough certainly; but when unsuccessful, it is of all careers the most painful.”

1.This passage mainly discusses__________.

A.the difficulties and risks of making a career of words

B.the uselessness of instructions contained in writing guidebooks

C.the autobiography of the 19th century English novelist Anthony Trollope

D.sound advice provided in Anthony. Trollope’s autobiography

2. From the context we can figure out that the underlined word “defect” in Paragraph 3 means__.

A.advantage

B.fault

C.truth

D.disadvantage

3.According to the author, writing _______.

A.is basically a self-taught occupation and no instructions on how to deal with it are of any practical use

B.is a “trial and error” process and it does not count whether you have the gift for writing or not

C.for a living is the most pleasant of all careers, full of praise and enjoyment

D.sometimes provides good hopes of winning public praise and escaping povert

4.From the passage we may infer that the author is most probably        

A.an instructor of writing

B.a writer

C.an educator

D.a publisher
