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.

B
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.

“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
