1 . As the U. K. and nations across the world mourn (哀悼) the death of Queen Elizabeth II, several aspects of the queen’s 70-year reign have been resurfacing over the past few days. From her personal life to her colonial legacy to her beloved dog — many are attracted by the life of the monarch (君主) . According to some experts, part of people’s attention towards the Royal Family not only comes from their respect for the queen but also from the trend of celebrity worshipping (名人崇拜) .

The idea of the British Royal Family taps into a collective desire for something that seems extraordinary, as opposed to the banality (平庸) of one’s own life, Cheryl Thompson, an assistant professor at the School of Performance at Toronto Metropolitan University, told Global News.

Thompson said the fairytaleish aspect of the British Royal Family is what attracts people, adding that many are attracted by their luxury weddings, seemingly perfect lives and the media attention that follows. “People have grown up hearing about fairy tales with princes and kings and queens,” she said. “So, you would imagine the castle has to be amazing compared to the two-bedroom apartment that you live in with your family … that whole idea of having servants upstairs, the luxuriousness of the dinner table — just brings all of that back into people’s imagination.”

Cele Otnes, head of the Department of Business Administration at the University of Illinois, said the Royal Family is “a complex brand” that is different from what one would normally associate with celebrities.

“They are a global brand that people love all over the world”, explained Otnes.

“They’re luxury”, she said. People far and wide are “very interested in the drama and the tension that happens in the Royal Family.”

“I think another one of the reasons the queen was so popular is that although everyone knew she was extremely wealthy, she didn’t show off her wealth.”

1. According to Thompson the fairytaleish aspect of the Royal Family lies in ________.

A．their life style	B．their political performance
C．their charity image	D．their social status

2. Which is not the reason why Otnes said the Royal Family is a different complex brand?

A．Because they are very likely to call our attention.

B．Because they live a luxurious and admirable life.

C．Because they are keen on charity.

D．Because they are very modest with their fame and wealth.

3. What’s the passage mainly about?

A．Mourning the death of the queen.	B．Analyzing the popularity of the queen.
C．Showing our admiration to the queen.	D．Stating the global importance of the queen.

4. How is the passage organized?

A．By making comparisons.	B．By giving examples.
C．By listing facts.	D．By quoting experts’ ideas.

社会问题与社会现象记叙文生活故事

3 . During the summer holiday, some students might have been busy with traveling, summer camps and all kinds of courses. But a special group of Chinese middle school students decided to taste the hardship of life outside school.

Twelve students in a big city sold vegetables at a local market together. Within 12 days, they made more than 1,500 yuan. Among them, the oldest is 21 years old, while the youngest is just 10. They are all cousins in a big family and eight of them are from rural areas.

“Compared to traveling, such social practice connects us and makes us learn how tough our parents are,” said Dalin, 18, to the City Morning Post. Dalin, a senior high graduate, and her 12-year-old brother Xiaolin came up with the idea.

They learned to work hard to sell their veggies. Every morning they had to wake up at 3 o'clock. Some of them went to the farmer’s market to buy vegetables. Some of them went to the local market to take up a temporary stall. To lower the cost, they learned to bargain with the sellers.

At about 6:30 am, they began to sell vegetables. They peddled loudly to attract customers. After several days, they got some experience, too.

For example, it was better to put vegetables in order and bigger ones on top. When the vegetables are too heavy, they should give customers an extra plastic bag.

When they finally packed up and went home, they had a small meeting. Everyone took notes and shared their feelings.

“We are tired,” said Dalin. “but we gained a lot” .

1. In the writer’s opinion, the 12 students’ action was ________.

A．popular

B．encouraging

C．strange

D．embarrassing

2. The cousins decided to sell vegetables at a market to ________.

A．show how able they were	B．have less hardship of life
C．prepare for their future traveling	D．learn how hard their parents work

3. They bargained with the sellers to ________.

C．get bigger vegetables	D．attract more customers

4. The best title of the story should be ________.
