Happy Birthday to You

　　The main problem in discussing American popular culture is also one of its main characteristics: it won’t stay American. No matter what it is, whether it is films, food and fashion, music, casual⁵ sports or slang⁶, it’s soon at home elsewhere⁷ in the world. There are several theories why American popular culture has had this appeal.
　　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.
Another theory, probably a more common one, is that American popular culture is internationally associated with something called “the spirit of America.” ____2____
　　The final theory is less complex: American popular culture is popular because a lot of people in the world like it.
　　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 instance⁸ , is such an everyday song that its source, its American copyright⁹, 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.
　　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, denim¹⁰ 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, checkered¹¹ jackets and trousers, hats and socks which were once made fun of in cartoons are back again in Paris as the latest fashion. ______4_______
　　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 morals¹², and was actually outlawed¹³ in several countries. Today, while still showing its rather American roots, it has become so well established. Rock ‘n’ roll and all its variations¹⁴, country & western music, all have more or less similar histories. They were first resisted, often in American as well, as being “low-class,” and then as “a danger to our nation’s youth.” _______5_______ And then the music became accepted and was extended¹⁵ and developed, and exported back to the U.S..
 
A.As a result, its American origins and roots are often quickly forgotten.
B. But this theory fails to explain why American films, music, and television programs are so popular in themselves.
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.

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：空格后出现线索词They，空格前句中出现“One theory is that..”,对比被选项发现B中提到了“this theory（这条理论）”，而且如果B是答案，B有复数词American films, music, television programs与后句中的They呼应。而且“美国电影，音乐，电视节目在和其他国家的同类产品竞争”的含义很通顺，因此判断B是答案。
线索：核心词语的重复构成前后句语意的承接。
 
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____
　　2． F. 分析：空格前句中提到了“被称作美国精神”，在空格处对前面的该特别的术语（带有引号）进行定义性的说明是常见的逻辑结构。
考点：术语+解释。
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.
 
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：空格后句中出现包文章主题的结构“Happy Birthday to You”，并在该句中发现source 和copyright，这两个词与A中的“origins and roots/起源和根”呼应，而且A（结果，美国的起源和源于美国的根往往被很快忘掉了）是观点句，后面出现例子加以说明，这种形式是常见的逻辑发展结构。
考点：观点+例子
 
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.
 
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：空格前句是长句子，从句子中出现的词语（bright colors, checkered jackets and trousers, hats and socks）来看，是在举例，猜测A是答案？（因为这些词语C中的‘非正式的服装’有关），接下来先做第5题。第5题的答案是D，因此现在只有两个选项：C和E。而段落第1句（概括句）说“这个持续的过程能够被最清楚看到的两大领域是服装和音乐” ，因此判断该段文字应该主要讨论“服装和音乐”，因此判断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 “low-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“他们最初被作为…被拒绝”，“拒绝”与D中的“禁止”呼应， 而D放在空格处正好构成了“观点+例子”的逻辑结构，因此推测D是答案，而且在前文中出现了D中提到的Rock ‘n’ roll，因此判断D是答案
