26、products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” and many other brands are following suit. The BBCs iPlayer which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet adopted the title in 2008. A lovely bear popular in the US and UK
27、that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”.A slimmed-down version of Londons Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name “i”.In general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came to use.Most “i” products are t
28、argeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independents “i”, its no surprise that theyve selected this fashionable name.But its hard to see whats so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at Kings Co
29、llege. London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines.” Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didnt have one clear definition,” he says.“However, thanks
30、 to Apple, the term is now associated with portability(轻便),” adds Thorne.Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.Along with “Google” and “b
31、log”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade.But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern
32、. However, as we entered the new century, the trend inevitably disappeared.() 56. People use iPlayer to .A. listen to musicB. make a callC. watch TV programs onlineD. read newspapers() 57.

Thats the date that Prince Wi
45、lliam and Catherine Middleton are to tie the knot at Westminster Abbey in London.A royal wedding is a rare and unique event in Britain so for many its something worth celebrating, particularly if you are in the business of making memorabilia (收藏品).Producers of these souvenirs are wasting no time in
46、manufacturing key rings, mugs, teapots and tea towels, mostly with the faces of the happy couple emblazoned on the front. These are the must buy items that royal followers want to get their hands on.Some people may argue the royal wedding is a huge public cost but production and sale of memorabilia
47、is good for business. Former politician, Lord Archer, has commented that, “In this age when we are trying to balance the books, the royal family are a great benefit to Great Britain Limited.”A porcelain-making company, called Royal Crown Derby, is already manufacturing souvenir pottery. Louise Adams
48、 from the company says “we started designing, truly, about two years ago.” It is big business for China too, where much of the merchandise that marks the big event is made.But why are people so keen to get their hands on a commemorative mug, so much so that one British supermarket has already seen t
49、hem flying off the shelves?Obviously, we like to remember an event like this and maybe it makes us feel as though we are part of the occasion. However their monetary value is likely to be low. Eric Knowles from the BBCs Antiques Roadshow claims, “The vast majority of it will be worthless.”Modern day
50、 souvenirs tend to be mass-produced making them cheap and easy to find. However limited edition or high-end items tend to keep their value and could be a better investment for the future.But there is one thing we can guarantee that wont be mass-produced and cheap. Thats the wedding dress for Princes
51、s Catherine, as Catherine Middleton will be known.() 66. From the first three paragraphs we can learn that .A. many fans of the British royal family will be invited to London on April 29th, 2011B. Prince William and Catherine Middleton are getting married at Westminster Abbey on April 29th, 2011C. m

53、arked with dates and picturesD. most of them display the pictures of the couple() 68. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. the production of souvenirs has begun long before the big eventB. the sale of souvenirs has not begun yetC. people buy souvenirs mainly for their monetary valueD. produc

55、ouvenirs?A. Supportive.B. Negative.C. Uninterested.D. Indifferent.DA simple flower made headlines in the British press last week. How could that be?British Prime Minister David Cameron and his ministers were attending a reception hosted by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in the Great Hall of the People i
56、n Beijing. They insisted on wearing poppies(罂粟花) in their buttonholes.Whats wrong with that?According to the Global Times, Chinese officials apparently had asked the UK delegation not to wear poppies. The British said that poppies meant a great deal to them on that day and they would wear them all t
57、he same.So whats the significance of the poppy? Its a flower which has different cultural and symbolic meanings for British and Chinese people.From the Chinese point of view, the poppy is a symbol of Chinas humiliation at the hands of European powers in the Opium Wars of the 19th century. Britain fo
58、rced China to open the borders to trade including in the opium which was made from poppies grown in India.Yet from the British viewpoint the poppy is a reminder of the killing during Word War I. Red poppies grew on the battlefields of Flanders in Belgium where many thousands of British soldiers died
59、 or were buried. Since then, Poppy Day (November 11) has become a time in the UK to wear poppies and remember the sacrifices of British soldiers and civilians in times of war.So you can see that the poppy sets off strong feelings in the hearts of Chinese and British people for different reasons. And
60、 it makes sense for us to try to understand each others standpoint.Of course cultural differences can also be interesting and funny. And what one nation thinks is an acceptable gift may be viewed differently by their guest from overseas. US President Barack Obama gave a gift of an iPod to Britains Q
61、ueen a dull person with no interest in music. Obama also presented Gordon Brown with a fine selection of American movies. But they were in US format and impossible to play on British DVD players.Many countries have diplomats stationed overseas. Diplomats provide information and advice to their gover
62、nments back home. However, sometimes it would seem that even diplomats can overlook the cultural significance of a small flower.() 71.
