第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
In Shanghai’s Grand Theater, a fashionable, mainly young audience applauds enthusiastically as Guo Yong takes center stage. He holds a large bushy tree branch with leaves. Blowing on one of the leaves, he produces a sound like the singing of birds as he plays a traditional Buyi folk song. Some other musicians are also playing the traditional instruments from various ethnic groups in China.
It’s the first time such music has ever been performed in the Grand Theater. But all this is the efforts of Zhu Zheqin, a Cantonese-born singer; who has made it her mission to help preserve China’s traditional ethnic music.
Several years ago, after being appointed a United Nations Development Program ambassador, Zhu traveled through some of China’s remotest regions in an attempt to document the traditional music of various minority groups. In the course other four- month trip, she recorded more than a thousand songs. But she noticed that many of the best musicians were old, and some of the music was at risk of dying out.
“I was shocked the beauty of what I heard-it was so good,” she says. “But it needed support. I hope to let people see the beauty of these things in the contemporary times.”
So Zhu decided to introduce some of the musicians to a wider audience. By doing this, she hopes to rekindle (再次点燃) the interest of the younger generation. “Young people don’t like this music much; they prefer pop music and love songs. They think these songs are something their grandma sings. This kind of repackaging gives young people a new door into their heritage.”
Zhu believes China needs to look again at its own roots. “China today is basically all Western art; in our conservatories (音乐学院) Western classical music is the top,” she says. “For China to really contribute to the world, we need to go on our own path. So what can represent China today?” The answer, she suggests, is to move from “made in China” to “created in China”.
1、From the first paragraph, we learn that ________.
A．the audience are all young people
B．Guo Yong is playing the Buyi folk music
C．Guo Yong is the only minority performer on the stage
D．tree branches make good musical instruments
2、Which of the following is TRUE of Zhu Zheqin?
A．She teaches music in a conservatories.
B．She is helping preserve Chinese ethnic music.
C．She works as an official in the United Nations.
D．She’s created all the music for the Grand Theater.
3、Zhu Zheqin traveled to some of China’s remotest regions to ________.
A．record the traditional ethnic music
B．help the local musicians play the music
C．show the UN Chinese musical traditions
D．enjoy the music of various ethnic groups
4、What is Zhu Zheqin’s idea about Chinese traditional music?
A．It is completely out of date.
B．Only old musicians play it well.
C．It needs changes to attract young people.
D．It is quickly dying out.
5、What does Zhu Zheqin mean in the last paragraph?
A．The traditional music should be repackaged.
B．Chinese conservatories shouldn’t teach Western music.
C．China has contributed a lot to the Western art.
D．Only the things created in China can be symbols of China.

B
It is hard to imagine that such a small country, the size of Indiana with the population of Alaska, tucked in the Himalaya Mountains, accessible only by two airplanes, is the “Happiest Country’’ in the world and has one of the fastest growing GDP’S in the world. This country is Bhutan, “Land of the Thunder Dragon”, which is located in South Asia and is encompassed by India, China, and Nepal.
Bhutan is the last standing Buddhist Kingdom in the World and, until recently, has preserved much of their culture since the l7th century by avoiding globalization and staying isolated from the world. Internet, television, and western dress were banned from the country up until ten years ago. Over the past ten years globalization has begun to change in Bhutan, but things remain perfectly balanced.
Bhutan is the only country in the world that has a ‘GNH’, which refers to “Gross National Happiness.’’The process of measuring GNH began when Bhutan opened up to globalization. It measures people’s quality of life, and makes sure that “material and spiritual development happen together.”Bhutan has done an amazing job of finding this balance. Bhutan has continually been ranked as the happiest country in all of Asia, and the eighth Happiest Country in the world according to Business Week. In 2007, Bhutan had the second fastest growing GDP in the world, at the same time as maintaining their environment and cultural identity.
In 2008,in Bhutan’s first democratic election,28-year-old Jigme KhesarNamgyel Wang Chuck was elected president of Bhutan. He promises to “maintain a stance (立场)of protection against the worst aspects of globalization, maintaining the ‘Gross National Happiness’.”But Jigme himself is no stranger to globalization. He attended high school at Phillips Academy and university at Wheaton College and then graduated from Oxford.
1、The underlined word “encompassed’’ in the first paragraph most probably means __________ .
A．covered B．surrounded
C．separated D．guarded
2、Why is Bhutan regarded as “the happiest country”?
A．Because it changes its policy and begins to open up.
B．Because it uses “GNH” to measure its achievement.
C．Because it stresses both material and spiritual development.
D．Because it has the second fastest growing GDP in the world.
3、What Can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．The election in Bhutan is far from satisfactory.
B．Globalization has influenced Bhutan’s religion.
C．Jigme’s educational background will cause distrust.
D．People in Bhutan will continue living a happy life.
4、Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?
A． B．
C． D．
