One theory is that it has been “advertised” and marketed through American films, popular music, and more recently, television. ________1____ They are, after all, in competition with those produced by other countries.
1． B。 分析：空格后出現(xiàn)線索詞They，空格前句中出現(xiàn)“One theory is that..”,對(duì)比被選項(xiàng)發(fā)現(xiàn)B中提到了“this theory（這條理論）”，而且如果B是答案，B有復(fù)數(shù)詞American films, music, television programs與后句中的They呼應(yīng)。而且“美國(guó)電影，音樂，電視節(jié)目在和其他國(guó)家的同類產(chǎn)品競(jìng)爭(zhēng)”的含義很通順，因此判斷B是答案。來(lái)源：考試大

A. As a result, its American origins and roots are often quickly forgotten.
C. American in origin, informal clothing has become the world’s first truly universal style.
D. The BBC, for example, banned rock and roll until 1962.
E. American food has become popular around the world too.
F. This spirit is variously described as being young and free, optimistic and confident, informal and disrespectful.
Another theory, probably a more common one, is that American popular culture is internationally associated with something called “the spirit of America.” ____2____

Regardless of why it spreads, American popular culture is usually quite rapidly adopted and then adapted in many other countries. _______3______ “Happy Birthday to You,” for instance, is such an everyday song that its source, its American copyright, so to speak, is not remembered. Black leather jackets worn by many heroes in American movies could be found, a generation later, on all those young men who wanted to make this manly-look their own.
3． A。 分析：空格后句中出現(xiàn)包文章主題的結(jié)構(gòu)“Happy Birthday to You”，并在該句中發(fā)現(xiàn)source 和copyright，這兩個(gè)詞與A中的“origins and roots/起源和根”呼應(yīng)，而且A（結(jié)果，美國(guó)的起源和源于美國(guó)的根往往被很快忘掉了）是觀點(diǎn)句，后面出現(xiàn)例子加以說(shuō)明，這種形式是常見的邏輯發(fā)展結(jié)構(gòu)。

Two areas where this continuing process is most clearly seen are clothing and music. Some people can still remember a time when T-shirts, jogging clothes, tennis shoes, denim jackets, and blue jeans were not common daily wear everywhere. Only twenty years ago, it was possible to spot an American in Paris by his or her clothes. No longer so: those bright colors, checkered jackets and trousers, hats and socks which were once made fun of in cartoons are back again in Paris as the latest fashion. ______4_______
4． 分析：空格前句是長(zhǎng)句子，從句子中出現(xiàn)的詞語(yǔ)（bright colors, checkered jackets and trousers, hats and socks）來(lái)看，是在舉例，猜測(cè)A是答案？（因?yàn)檫@些詞語(yǔ)C中的‘非正式的服裝’有關(guān)），接下來(lái)先做第5題。第5題的答案是D，因此現(xiàn)在只有兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)：C和E。而段落第1句（概括句）說(shuō)“這個(gè)持續(xù)的過程能夠被最清楚看到的兩大領(lǐng)域是服裝和音樂” ，因此判斷該段文字應(yīng)該主要討論“服裝和音樂”，因此判斷C是答案。

The situation with American popular music is more complex because in the beginning, when it was still clearly American , it was often strongly resisted. Jazz was once thought to be a great danger to youth and their morals, and was actually outlawed in several countries. Today, while still showing its rather American roots, it has become so well established. Rock ‘n’ roll and all its variations, country & western music, all have more or less similar histories. They were first resisted, often in American as well, as being “l(fā)ow-class,” and then as “a danger to our nation’s youth.” _______5_______ And then the music became accepted and was extended and developed, and exported back to the U.S..
5．D．分析：空格前句中看到“他們最初被作為…被拒絕”，“拒絕”與D中的“禁止”呼應(yīng)， 而D放在空格處正好構(gòu)成了“觀點(diǎn)+例子”的邏輯結(jié)構(gòu)，因此推測(cè)D是答案，而且在前文中出現(xiàn)了D中提到的Rock ‘n’ roll，因此判斷D是答案。
