It's time to remind myself what I love about life here in California,USA, to remember what I desperately miss when I go home.Real radio
In the USA there are so many radio stations that those iPod tuner things don’t work at all.It took me a while to discover the USA's many public radio stations, which don't broadcast any advertisements.KCRW is my favorites station, for its blend of indie music and current affairs.But I also listen to KJAZZ and KPCC.But before you feel jealous — it’s all online.My favorites: American life Snap Judgement and Henry Rollins live every Saturday night.Take listen online for free News? Well, there's not a lot of news from South Africa, and when it is, it's bad and full of fear, so I ignore it.But I care about any place I live in, and that includes the USA.And on public radio, the USA is covered in depth, from the perspective of individual stories rather than statistics.The festivals
I’m jealously watching tweets and Facebook boasts and reviews from SXSW — seems like half the people I used to work with in South Africa are there,meeting Grumpy Cat and watching bands they’ve always wanted to see live.It’s great to know that these 1000s of festivals are so close, and that one day,if film school schedule ever allows me to leave campus for more than a few days, I can go to one or two of them.I have already exchanged my much loved Ford Mustang for a bigger, less sexy car — a car spacious enough to sleep in — so that next year I can be there, not just dream of it.The famous people
When I go back to SA, I'm often asked if I’ve spotted any famous people.It's awkward for me.I feel the the same way about it as I feel when an American asks me if there are lions in the streets.Except yes, I have.No,not lions.I have met some famous people.I chatted to RJ Mitte from Breaking Bad outside a dub in West Hollywood.Many of my professors are famous directors.The problem is, once you meet these famous people, they're just people, FFS.This feels disappointing at first, like you're missing a Jesus mo-ment of some sort.But if you think about it, it's inspiring.What it means, is that I, litlle me(right now, also ”just a person“)could be a famous just-a-person person one day, and get to make all the films I just dream of now.51.The underlined sentence ”There is,simply, no dead air.“ probably means____.A.there is no useless radio programmes in the USA B.there is no useful radio programmes in the USA C.there is no polluted air in the USA
D.there is no advertisements from the radio programmes in the USA 52.There are so many festivals that_____.A.I often leave campus for more than few days B.I often attend some of them in person C.I bought a bigger Ford? Mustang
D.I can share many reviews and performances online with my friends in South Africa 53.The author thinks the famous people in the USA _____.A.are just Like lionsB.are well-known but ordinary C.are disappointing D.are inspiring 54.The author is most likely to be _____.A.a director in AmericaB.a professor in South Africa C.a student in AmericaD.an actor in South Africa

Researchers conducting a study of hospital stays for over two hundred and eighty six thousand older folks found something interesting in their data.The number of hospitalizations for heart disease and stroke went down significantly among a certain group of people at a certain time of year.What folks, and what time of year, you ask? Flu season and the lucky people were the ones who got flu shots(流感疫苗).It’s generally recommended that people over fifty get their flu shots every year.Influenza(流行性感冒)is no small thing.it’s responsible for around thirty six thousand deaths a year in the U.S.alone.Getting the shots also cuts down on the chances of getting pneumonia(肺炎), which is especially dangerous in seniors.But what wasn’t known was that there seems to be an added benefit to getting a flu shots in terms of In this study, flu shots cut clown the number of hospitalizations for heart disease by nineteen percent.Stroke went down sixteen percent one season and a whopping twenty-three percent a second season.These are big results.So what's the connection between getting a flu shot and having a stronger heart? It isn’t yet known.Researchers speculate that the flu virus itself may do damage to blood vessels(血管), possibly making clots(血块)more likely.Blood clots in the heart can cause heart attacks, and blood clots in the brain can cause strokes.Whatever the specific details are, there's one more good reason to follow your doctor’ s advice and get that annual flu shot.55.According to the study, the number of hospitalizations for heart disease and stroke went down
significanntly among the ones who _____.A.got flu shots after they were ill B.got flu shots before they were ill C.got flu shots at the flu seasonD.got flu shots whenever convenient 56.The benefits of getting flu shots can be listed except that_____.A.it can cut down on the chances of getting pneumonia
B.it can cut down the number of hospitalizations for heart disease C.it can kill the flu virus
D.if can make blood clots
57.The underlined phrase ”warding off“ probably means_______.A.keeping awayB.dealing withC.setting offD.picking up 58.According to the passage, we'd better ______.A.work out to fight against influenzaB.get flu shot every year C.follow our doctor's all adviceD.protect our blood vessels

Many people believe that teaching children music makes them smarter, better able to learn new things.But the organizers of a new study say there's no scientific evidence that early musical training affects the intelligence of young people.An estimated 80 percent of American adults think music lessons improve children's abilily to learn or their performance in school.They say that the satisfaction for learning to play a new song helps a child express creativity.Researchers at Harvard University, however, have found that there's one thing musical training does not do.They say it does not make children more intelligent.Samuel Mehr is a graduate student at Harvard's School of Education.He said it is wrong to think that learning to play a musical instrument improves a child's intellectual development.He says the evidence comes from studies that measured the mental ability of two groups of 4-year-olds and their parents.One group attended music class, the other went to a class that places importance on the visual arts—arts that can be seen.”The evidence there is 'no'.We found no evidence for any advantage on any of these tests for the kids participating in these music clases,“ said Mehr.Samuel Mehr says researchers have carried out many studies in an effort to learn whether musical training can make children smarter.He says the results have been mixed.He says only one study seems to show a small percentage increase in IQ, intellectual scores among students after one year of music lessons.He does not believe that IQ is a good measure of child's intelligence.He says researchers in his study compared how well children in the musical training group did on mental processing tasks or projects, then the results were compared to those of children who did not take lessons.There was no evidence that the musical training group did much better on the mental tasks than the other group.The researchers comfirmed the results with a larger group of children and their parents.Mr Mehr says music lessons may not offer children a fast easy way to gain entry to the best schools later of their life.But he says the training is still important for cultural reasons.In his words, ”We teach music because music is important for us.“
59.According to the new study, musical training______.A.makes children smarter
B.helps a child express creativity
C.does not make children more intelligent D.improve children's ability to learn in school 60.Samuel Mehr may agree that______.A.the children who attended music class are smarter than those who attended arts class B.IQ is a good measure of a child's intelligence C.we needn't to teach children music
D.music training is still important for cultural reasons 61.In order to confirm his view, Samuel Mehr______.A.conducted more than one research B.interviewed many American adults
C.taught two groups of 4-yetr-olds music and arts
D.offered children a fast way to be admitted to the best schools 62.The artical may be taken from a report about _____.A.health B.education C.culture D.economy

The world's largest solar thermal plant(太阳热能发电站)is set to begin producing power in the United States by the end of the year.Wind and energy from the sun are generally considered clean, unlike energy from coal-burning power stations.However, environmentalists now worry that too much solar power development could harm the local environment.A California company — BrightSource Energy is building a huge solar power plant in the Mojave desert, about 60 kilometers southwest of Las Vegas, Nevada.The plant is known as the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System.Joe Desmond works for the company.”This is actually one of the highest concentrations of sunlight in the world, out here in Ivanpah.“ explained Desmond.BrightSource Energy will deploy 170,000 specially designed mirrors to direct solar energy towards boilers on top of three power towers.The steam produced in the boilers will drive turbine(涡轮)to make electricity.Joe Desmond says the steam can reach temperatures of more than 260 degrees Celsius.”We can store the sun's thermal energy in the form of molten salt, so we can produce electricity even when the sun goes down.There is a lot of interest in concentrating solar power around the globe in environmnents where you have lots of sun, such as China, South Africa, the Middle East, North Africa, explained Desmond.Environmentalists generally support the idea of solar power, however, many are concerned about the effect of power plants on sensitive environment.Lisa Belenky is a lawyer with the Center for Biological Diversity, a private group.She says environmentalists are specifically worried about the effect of the Ivanpah Solar Project on the sensitive plant and animal life in that part of Mojave desert.“Even though the desert seems big, when you start cutting it up, it can really affect how the species and the animals and the plants are able to survive in the long run,”said Lisa Belenky.BrightSource Energy has already spent more than $ 50 million to move endangered desert tortoises away from the power plant.but Lisa Belenky says this is not the answer.“We should be reusing areas that have a1ready been disturbed, like old mining sites, for example...either on homes, on businesses, parking lots.” said Belenky.There have also been reports of birds dying at the Ivanpah Plant and others like it.Some birds die after colliding with solar equipment which the animals mistake for water.Other birds were killed or suffered burns after flying through the intense heat at the solar thermal plant.As solar projects increase, environmentalists and developers are considering what to do to reduce bird death.63.Why is the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System being built in the desert?
A.Because the temperature is extremely high in the desert.B.Because there is no life in the desert.C.Because there is much salt in the desert.D.Because sunlight is highly focused in the desert.64.Why can the plant make electricity at night?
A.Because the sun's thermal energy can be stored in the form of steam.B.Because the sun's thermal energy can be stored in the form of molten salt.C.Because the sun'ss thermal energy can be stored through mirrors
D.Because the sun's thermal energy can be stored in the boilers.65.According to Lisa Belenky, in order to reduce the effect,_____.A.we should move all the plants and animals away from the solar plant B.we should guide the bird not to hit the solar plant C we should build the solar plant in disturbed areas D.we should build the solar plant in the desert
66.The author’s attitude towards the solar projects is _____.A.supportive B.criticalC.indifferentD.cautious
E
It's going to be a chaotic(混乱的)day.How do I know? It’s Monday.OK, joking.But, I do predict that today will be filled with the normal last-minute tasks, fire drills, and unforeseen events.So, how do you keep yourself from being swept away in the stream of chaos? How do you remain calm while others are rushing and panicking? There's a problem… Panic!When things don't go as planned, how do you react? Are you the calm one who works to fix things? Or the one running around like Chicken Little screaming that the sky falling? Getting upset or alarmed can seem like natural reactions to a problem.Here are a few tips to kelp you remain calm in the face of the storm:
• Don't PanicYou are better able to find a solution if you aren't panicking.If you can keep your head when others are losing theirs, you will be able to make a dear decision in the chaos.• There Aren't Many True EmergenaesMy time as a Naval Officer taught me about true emergencies.In the military, when there is a problem, people can get hurt or die.This is not usually the case when the office copier or email server goes down.Keep things in perspective.There are very few true emergencies in life.• Avoid the “Fight or Flight”When you are stressed, your body will want to go into “fight or flight.” Your body was designed to keep you safe from danger, but its natural reflexes aren't always the best solution against a project gone away.Keep your emotions in check and ensure that your physical reflexes don’t make bad decisions for you.• Head Into The ProblemWhile everyone else is running away, true leaders walk into a problem.Sticking your head in the sand only makes things worse.Instead of trying to ignore the situition, get to the heart of the issue as soon as possible.Only then can you address it
How Will You React? When you find yourself ready to lose it, take a step back.Ask, “In this truly an emergcncy?” Keep your head when others are losing theirs.And you'll find that you are that much closer to a solution.67.The author writes the first paragraph in order to______.A.describe a chaotic day B.advocate a way of life C.introduce a topic D.make a joke 68.In order to make a wiser decision in the chaos, you should _____.A.low your headB.keep your head C.shake your headD.stick your head
69.The example of the author's time as a Naval Officer is used to illustrate_____.A.there are seldom true emergencies in life B.there are many true emergencies in life C.some emergencies are really urgent D.some emergencies can't be predicted
70.What would the best title for the passage?
A.Fight or FlightB.True emergencies C.Less Talking, More Doing D.Keep calm in the face of the storm

短文写作:
We always take it for granted that receiving is better than giving.But in fact, it’s a good virtue to give rather than receive.I learnt it from my mother.Ten years ago, there was a tough time for my family.One day, there were two apples for my family of three.Knowing that, my mother announced that she didn’t like eating apples.So she gave the two apples to me and my father.As a child, I grasped the apple immediately and ran away.But my mother wore a bright smile when she saw me eating the apple happily.At that time, I just wondered why my mother was so delighted, even when she didn’t eat the apple.But as time went by, I gradually realized that giving is better than receiving, because giving can bring more happiness and love.Looking back on my mother’s giving, I always choose to give rather than receive in my life.听力原稿 Text 1

材料一 中唐以后至北宋前期,伴随着旧士族消亡过程的是新型士人阶层的成长。科举培育出一种意义深远的 “文人文化”。„„士人们积极构筑种种非“先赋性”的关系网络,联结他们的纽带是多元的,诸如同学、同年、同僚、同乡以至同道之类的关系。它渗透于社会生活的各个方面,影响着诸多事物的运行过程。„„胸怀“天下”的士大夫们以“天道”“公议”旗帜为凝聚鲜体的号召,制约君主力量,参与治理国家政事。„„这一群体的认识及行为,通常倾向于维护中央集权;而其力量的崛起,客观上又构成了对君主专制的制约因素。
——摘编自袁行霈、严文明等主编《中华文明史》 材料二 当资本主义的浪潮席卷西方并猛烈冲击东方的时候,白觉的、强烈的时代意识是新知识分子群体并以产生的思想契机.也是他们区别于社会其他阶层的明显特征。“仁义礼智”被“奇技淫巧”打得落花流水,明智的知识阶层开始检讨传统学术的价值,摒弃了偏见与无知,新知识分子群体在传统中学的根基上,积极地、有选择地吸纳西学。„„中国古代士人素来以治国平天下为自己的学术成就与人生价值的最高实现。在新的时代文化背景下,知识分子开始了新的双向的角色认同。一方面他们继承并发扬士大夫忧国忧民、以天下兴亡为己任的传统,另一方面他们又萌生与政治决裂、向知识回归的自我意识。
——摘编自陈旭麓《近代中国社会的新陈代谢》

材料 冷战结束以后,有四大因素在影响着世界的大势:一是经济全球化进程大大加快,二是发展中国家的作用上升,三是大国关系的不断调整,四是美国霸权主义对世界的干涉。前三个因素对国际关系都产生积极影响,最后一个因素时国际关系的正常秩序起到干扰和破坏作用。经济全球化之所以发展迅猛,是由于信息时代的到来对世界经济产生强大的推动力。经济全球化冲击着原有的国际关系结构,促使国际关系内部发生很多变化,对世界多极化趋势起推动作用。
——摘编自顾关福主端《战后国际关系》
根据材料并结合所学知识,从“四大因素”中任选一个说明其主要表现及对世界大势的影响。27.阅读下列材料,回答问题。(25分)
材料一 19世纪后半期,美国社会经历着人口等生产要素向城市区域的高速聚集,城市环境承载能力迅速下降,各种生活、生产污染为病原体营造出绝佳的寄存场所。城镇居民仍然延续着殖民地时期形成的将垃圾直接倾倒在街道的习惯,垃极收集和处理被看作居民的个人事务。由于当时环境治理尚未起步,工业废物排放给城市卫生带来的危害是不言而喻的。城市陷入各种传染性疾病的困扰中,产重成胁社会大众的生命安全。
19世纪后半期,公共卫生改革开始在美国各地城市中涌现。1870年,美国最大城市纽约创立卫生局,成为其他城市效仿的典范。自80年代开始.许多城市先后建立街道清洁部,专门负责街道保洁工作。城市政府还首次吸引社会多元力量参与垃极处理工作,私人企业、民间团体积极参加。19世纪后半期疾病防治也取得了新进展,传统检疫中采取的“隔离”手段得到继承和强化,联邦政府直接干预“检疾”工作,国会陆续颁布《国家防疾法》、《检疾法案》等法律法规。
——摘编自李晶《城市化下的“卫生”困境与突破》
材料二 19世纪末20世纪初,“卫生”一词在晚清日益流行。由于近代社会的急剧转型,卫生涵义出现了新变化,卫生即“强国”。卫生涉及的已经不是个人或地方团体层面,而是同国家、民族联系在了一起。欧洲国家关于“卫生强种”的说法也引起人们极大兴趣。文化市场涌现大量的生理卫生、生殖医学的书籍和刊物,相关的广告与介绍也频繁见诸报端,大多强调泰西的兴盛与其对生理卫生学的重视密切关联,表示译者或作者的目的即在希望种族强盛上。《高等小学卫生教科书》(l903年)广告词言:“今亟译此类之书,以饷吾国民。凡有保种之责,而知亡国之忧者,盖令青年子弟日肆习之。”

附:阅读理解解析:
A篇(婚礼习俗)
21.D.细节理解题。根据第一部分第一段中的some couples are still carrying out the “Pyebaek”—a Korean wedding custom.可知,尽管西式婚礼在韩国受到推崇,但传统的韩式婚礼习俗依旧在实行,故选D。注意选项中的observe表示“遵循;遵守”。
22.B.细节理解题。综合文章第二部分的内容可知,在日本参加朋友的婚礼一般送$300的礼金,将新钞装在一个信封中,上面签上自己的名字。
23.D.细节理解题。根据第三部分第二段中的These are tiny sweet cakes with a condensed milk filling that are meant to bring good luck to the new couples.可知,在巴西,人们制作这些糕点是为了向新人表示祝福。
24.A.主旨大意题。本文介绍了几个不同国家的婚礼习俗,其目的是传播知识而不是比较差别,故选A。
B篇(社会)
本文是议论文。文章介绍了一起由”小心地滑”的指示牌引起安全事故的案件。
25.B。细节理解题。根据第一段中的„Ms.Brown got to the area, the sign was lying on the floor.And shortly thereafter, so was she.Her foot got caught in the sign, in a bad way, and she fell可知,Brown女士被警示牌绊倒了。
26.C。推理判断题。根据第二段中的not allowing Brown’s case to proceed及Georgia’s Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the store可推断,AMC提到这一案例的目的是为了强调自己对该事故不应承担法律责任。
27.A。细节理解题。根据最后一段中的it did conclude that Brown’s case could continue to a jury
可知,法院将请陪审团来审理此案。
28.A。篇章结构题。文章末引号中句子的意思是”一个商人选择和使用某一用来警告顾客某种危险的设备,这种行为本身就可能将顾客置于另一个危险中”。故one指代”danger”。
C篇(健康)
本文是说明文。文章介绍了关于口吃的基本知识。
29.B。推理判断题。根据第四段中的Most experts recommend early evaluation and treatment可知,如果小孩子开始口吃,最好马上就医。
30.C。细节理解题。根据文章最后一段末的Many people who have taken stuttering treatment programs are able to make positive changes in their speech skills and communication abilities so they can communicate freely可知,这些治疗口吃的方法都取得了积极的效果。
31.D。写作目的题。本文向读者介绍了关于口吃的基本知识,包括分类、病因和治疗方法。故选D项。
D篇(旅游与交通)
本文是议论文。作者认为旅行之所以吸引人是因为它可以让人们探索未知,但是我们并不一定非得去旅行才能达到这个目的。正如Alan Watts所建议的,我们应该关注当下,因为我们看似平淡无奇的日常生活同样可以很精彩。
32.D。细节理解题。根据第一段中的what a waste it seemed to be, spending our time inside in front of a computer all day long.I ended up leaving my job, and so did Dusty.Neither one of us are sitting in an office all day 可知,作者和Dusty都不喜欢每天呆在室内,坐在电脑前,所以他们都辞掉了工作。
33.A。段落大意题。第二段中的exciting, experience new things, be a slightly different version of ourselves, a sense of excitement for the unknown, a sense of wonder及Not thinking about yesterday or tomorrow, and just about whatever’s right in front you都是旅行之所以诱人的原因。因此本段主要介绍了是什么让旅行如此吸引人。
34.A。词义猜测题。第二段主要介绍了旅行的迷人之处,而本段开头的However„表明了作者对旅行有不同的看法,即:我们不需要”到处走,到处逛”就能让我们的日子像旅行一样精彩。35.B。标题归纳题。通读全文可知,作者认为我们不一定非得去旅行才能探索未知,发现新的自我。只要我们关注当下,看似平淡无奇的日子也可以同样精彩。B项Adventures in our own backyard可以翻译成“自家庭院的探险;家门口的旅行”,非常符合作者的这一看法。
七选五解析:
36.C.前句介绍了考试累人,结合本段内容,本句应过渡到文章话题——备考,故选C项。37.A.根据前句句意“首先你应该激励自己”可知,A项“如果你不能全身心投入,那么复习是无效的”符合语境。
38.D.根据主题词Memorize和本空后面的文意可知,此处应谈及的是记忆问题,D项中的After motivating yourself也提示此句的起承转合作用。
39.G.根据上句的句意可知,此处谈论的应是做笔记的好处,故选G项。
40.F.根据上文“用充足的时间复习来击败焦虑”可知,应选F项“当你知道自己已经学得很好,就不会去担心考试了”。
完形填空解析:
本文是记叙文。一个拥有悠久历史的旅馆通过作文比赛选择新的所有者。41.B.根据全文,此处应该表示“举办”选拔旅馆的新的所有者。
42.D.按照下文提示,此处选manage,意为“经营”,指Jack以前自己经营一家餐馆。43.A.毫无疑问,Jack在获得the Center Lovell Inn的所有权之前自己经营一家餐馆。
44.B.现在Jack六十八岁了,他要退休了,他准备沿袭以前的做法,通过作文比赛选择新的所有者。
45.C.注意几个单词的意义,miserable“痛苦的;悲惨的”,thoughtful“关切的;体贴的”,talented“有天赋的;聪明的”,arbitrary“任意的”。只有C项符合。
46.A.通过上文可以看出,”但是那些在餐馆行业有天赋的人却买不起一家餐馆”。47.D.通过作文比赛选择新的所有者给了他们一个“机会”。
48.C.此处应填attract,意为“吸引,引起”,Jack希望吸引至少7500名参赛者。49.B.Jack承诺不给参赛者的人数设立限制,越多越好。

51.A.为了申请,申请者必须“寄送”一篇200字或200字以下的文章。
52.D.申请者必须寄送一篇文章,文章的“主题”应该是为什么他们是最合适的人选。
53.B.这道题目可以用排除法做,keep up意为“保持”,apply for意为“申请”,cast down意为“使沮丧”,明显都不合适,只能选B,narrow down意为“把……缩小到;缩小范围”。54.A.由上文可知,两位匿名的裁判将最终决定餐馆新的“主人”是谁。
55.C.两位匿名的裁判决定谁是获胜者之后,Jack将在五月一日“宣布”继任者。56.C.通过上文可以看出,Jack信心满满,认为作文比赛一定能够达到选拔继任者的目的。57.A.他相信和上次一样,通过作文比赛将会选择新的合适的所有者。此处pick out意为“挑出;选出”。
58.D.人们可能会问他,“你选错了人或者这个人撒谎怎么办?”
59.C.通过上文可以看出,Jack充满信心,他相信作文比赛一定能够选出正确的继任者,这也是这次比赛的魔力所在。
60.B.联系上文,Jack相信比赛的结果一定会“证明”自己是对的。turn out意为“结果是;被证明是”。听力材料: Text 1 W: How much will it cost my daughter and me to go to Beijing by bus?
