"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,casual sports or slang, it's soon at home elsewhere 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.________(46)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 associ-
ted with something called"the spirit of America"._______(47)
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.________(48)"Happy Birthday to You",for instance,is such an everyday song tha
its source,its American copyright,so to speak,is not remembered.Black leather jackets worn by many heroe
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,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._____(49)
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,
has become so well established.Rock 'n' roll and all its variations,country & western music,all have moi
or less similar histories.They were first resisted,often in America as well,as being"low-class",and then:
"a danger to our nation's youth".______(50)And then the music became accepted and was extende
and developed,and exported back to the US.
46.________(46)
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 then selves.
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 disrespectfu.

答案
A
解析
选项B中提到了“this theory",且B项中的“American films , music , television programs”与后句中的They呼应,并且“美国电影、音乐、电视节目在和其他国家的同类产品竞争”意义衔接,因此B项为正确答案。
这句话解释了某一种“精神”-This spirit,那么在上文中应该提到过一种精神。第三段的第一句话就讲到了国际上都将美国流行文化和所谓“美国精神”联系在一起。这句话对这种精神作了描述。
在空前的句子“美国流行文化往往很快就被其他国家接受和移植”是说原因,后面就应该接结果。选项A以As a result开头,说明它说的是后果,故选A。
第六段主要讲的是美国服装的世界影响。C项说源自美国的休闲服饰成了世界上第一种真正的全球时尚。从内容看,我们应该在与服装有关的段落中找到填入这句话的空白处。
空格前句中看到“他们最初因······被拒绝”,“拒绝”与D项中的“banned”呼应,而D项放在空格处正好构成了“观点+例子”的逻辑结构,因此D项为正确答案。
