Legal downloading of most mainstream pop music requires paying for the song. However, there are a number of websites allowing free downloads of songs. The following are four of the best of these sites. Free Music Archive

The Free Music Archive was started in April 2009 by Jersey City radio station WFMU. It provides the opportunity to donate (捐赠) directly to participating artists. This site also makes it clear what are acceptable uses for the music included. Those uses are determined by the artists themselves, which means some music may only be downloaded for listening while others are cleared for use and distribution in other ways such as background music for an audio or video production. Internet Archive’s Audio Archive

The Audio Archive is a sub-project of the Internet Archive. The Audio Archive is a collection that includes audio books, news broadcasts, and old time radio shows as well as music. The archive makes over 200,000 recordings all available for free download. A massive project of the Audio Archive is the Live Music Archive. It includes over 100,000 concert recordings. Jamendo

Jamendo has a collection of 400,000 free and legal tracks. That makes it one of the largest collections of free and legal music available on the Internet. Users have a variety of ways to browse and discover new music and artists. Jamendo was first started in.2005 and claims to return approximately 50% of income to participating artists. In addition, users may make donations to individual artists. PureVolume

PureVolume was created in 2003 as a website designed to aid in the promotion (推广) and discovery of music by new and rising artists. Record labels employ PureVolume as a way to promote their new artists. In 2010, PureVolume was purchased (购买) by SpinMedia.

Sidi Ifni is my hometown, which is an ancient West African town. It sits on the coast of Morocco. Here, near the bone-dry Sahara Desert, there never seems to be enough water to go around. For many women and girls in my hometown, carrying water from distant wells has become a day-long chore.

However, half the year, water surrounds my hometown. There?s just one big problem: it?s locked into heavy fog. But imagine catching that water, the way spider webs get water drops in the fog. In fact, people in my hometown have figured out how to do just that. Some have set up tall nets high above dusty-dry villages. Fog condenses onto the nets, and then runs into tanks.

Still, fog-catching is far from perfect. The nets need wind to push the fog into them, so the nets must be vertical. And that means they can get blown over. Plus, they work only when the fog is very heavy.

Luckily, a scientist named Catarina Esteves came to help. Esteves grew up on the coast of Portugal. There she lived near the sea. Indeed, she used to regularly hang out at the beach. In college, she started out studying chemistry. However, with time going by, she changed her focus to materials science, which combines engineering with chemistry. After earning her PhD, she became a researcher and teacher at Eindhoven.

This researcher likes the fact that she can use materials engineering to solve real-world problems. Eventually, the team led by her produced a fabric (织物) with remarkable moisture-capturing prop-erties (水分捕捉性能). When Esteves heard about the idea of fog-catching, she thought, “What if we were able to use this fabric to draw water from fog?” This fabric could take in water when the air is cool and misty, and then release it as that fog gives way to hot, sunny skies.

Right now, her team?s smart fabric is still in the experimental phase. And people in my town can?t wait to use it. 5. What problem do people in the author?s hometown face? A. Being often troubled by fog. B. Lacking water all year round.

C. Having no natural water resources at all. D. Having too much chore for women and girls.

6. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. Using tanks to collect water.

B. Collecting water from spider webs. C. Catching water from fog using nets.

D. Making use of dense fog in various ways.

7. What does the author want to show in Paragraph 3? A. The villagers there need more water. B. The villagers aren?t really that smart

C. Catching water from fog isn?t a good idea.

D. The way to catch water from fog needs to be improved.

8. What did Catarina Esteves want to do after hearing about fog-catching? A. To change her focus to materials science.

B. To solve the problem of a lack of water worldwide.

C. To experiment with the fabric her team produced in fog-catching. D. To create a fabric with remarkable moisture-capturing properties. C

“America and England are two nations divided by a common language,” Winston Churchill once said. It is widely known that there are differences between American and British English, but what about the cultures? One of the common greetings in the UK is to say to someone, “Hey, you alright?” or “Hey，you OK?” These terms

are not socially used in America. On the other hand, in America, these terms can be considered as asking whether there is something wrong with other people?s health or suggesting that there is an obvious reason why they may not be OK. Therefore, it is better for you to greet an American by saying “What?s going on?” or “How are you?” Americans have the tendency to exaggerate (夸张) much more than British people. Americans like using numerous superlative (最高级的) words and vivid descriptions even in an average situation. Many Americans also tend to be highly positive and downplay negative things. This may be confusing because, in an effort to be polite, an American may not tell you directly their opinions.

We all know that there are differences between American English and British English. In addition to the vocabulary differences in spoken language and written language, there are differences in body language. Body language contributes to conversation and interaction as much as verbal communication. Generally speaking, Americans tend to shake hands firmly with people they meet. However, some Americans can be more touchy-feely than British people and may be more likely to hug you as a greeting (maybe before you-feel close enough to give them a hug!).

It is common for Americans to keep direct eye contact with the speaker and to smile during the conversation. This can express people?s attentiveness and an interest in the conversation. Many also “speak with their hands”，expressing themselves through a wide range of gestures.

9. Why may people get confused when talking with American people? A. Because they are not good at expressing themselves. B. Because they don?t express what they think clearly. C. Because they tend to say against their true meaning. D. Because they always refuse to tell people their opinions. 10. What can we know from the passage?

A. British people like hugging others when greeting.

B. Body language can?t express as much as what people say.

C. American people like using body language to help express themselves. D. Looking people into their eyes is considered rude during a conversation. 11. What?s the main idea of this passage?

A. The differences between American culture and British culture. B. The differences between American English and British English.

C. The differences in body language between Americans and British people.

D. The differences in American English between different regions within the USA. D

Most kids won?t sit at a restaurant with their parents and say, “That?s what I want to be when I grow up,” while watching a server refill their water glasses. Waiting tables is usually thought of as a short-term job that will help you earn some extra cash as a student or pay the bills when you?re trying to start a singing career. At the very worst, it?s looked upon as an embarrassing last choice before finding a satisfactory job.

A Rutgers study found that four in ten graduates are working in fields that do not require a degree, which likely means that there are a lot of well-educated servers out there. Therefore, this doesn?t have to be the terrible situation that the media sometimes makes it out to be.

I?ve worked as a waitress everywhere from a small restaurant in Venice, Calif, to a top Hollywood talent agency (代理处). At the small restaurant, I made about $200 a day serving fatty breakfasts to wild-eyed customers. It allowed me a measure of freedom, and it beat being a sales assistant who makes just $22,000 a year.

I actually left an office job at a technology news site that paid $40,000 a year, plus benefits, for the work at a restaurant. I served food, so I could focus on my graduate school application and writing. I had full benefits, while earning $10 an hour, plus huge tips. I made about $70,000 that year. Plus, I got into my top pick for graduate school.

After my graduation, I worked at a fancy restaurant, where I did not feel embarrassed or “underemployed” pouring drinks for people — despite the fact that I had a master degree. I had goals, and waiting tables was a pretty great means to my end: make a living by writing, even if it meant waiting tables yet again. 12. What can we know from the first paragraph? A. No waitresses really love serving others. B. Working at a restaurant is very embarrassing. C. Waiting tables isn?t considered to be a perfect job.

D. Some children are interested in being a waiter or waitress.

13. How did the author most probably find her work at a restaurant? A. Interesting. B. Satisfying. C. Boring. D. Low-paying.

14. Why did the author choose to work at a restaurant? A. She couldn?t find a better job without a degree. B. She could talk to different people for her writing. C. She needed a short-term job for her singing career. D. She was allowed to prepare for her further education.

15. What does the author mainly want to show in the passage? A. Serving at a restaurant isn51 that bad. B. Many graduates don?t have good jobs. C. We should never give up on our dreams. D. Children should be taught to respect others. 第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 What?s the biggest problem with memory skills?

16 There are many memory skills that work well, but you?ll forget them when you need them most — unless you make using them a habit. So when you take the time to learn a technique, use it until it becomes automatic. Here are some for you to have a try.

Use a story-list. As a child, I went to a party. There was a game that involved looking at a table covered in fifteen various items. 17 Finally, one boy won the prize by remembering all fifteen items. Later, I learned why he won. His father taught him a simple trick that none of us other kids knew. The skill is to tie the items together in an imaginative story.

18 When you learn a person?s name, for example, tell yourself, “Remember that”. This signals your unconscious (潜意识的) mind to rank this input as more important.

Know why you want to remember something, and how you?ll remember it. To remember a person, for example, ask why they?ll be important to you in the future, imagine where you?ll see them next, and connect that to anything you notice about them. Seeing the importance of remembering really helps. 19 Do you ever forget where you put your keys? You have probably tried retracing (追溯) your steps, at least doing it in your imagination. 20 When you set the keys on the chair, see yourself walking in and setting the keys on the chair. You won?t forget where they are.

There are many more of these memory tricks. If you want them to be useful, though, don?t just read about them. Make one or two memory skills a habit and start today. A. Tell yourself to remember.

B. Where can you pick up these skills? C. The answer is remembering to use them.

D. It is not easy for us to learn memory techniques.

E. We had to write down as many items as we could remember.
