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
PureV olume 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 PureV olume as a way to promote their new artists. In 2010, PureV olume 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, ha lf 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 wer e 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. Wha t 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 sa y 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 H ollywood 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.

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.
F. Additional connections can set the memory more firmly in your brain.
G. This can work well, but even better is to prevent the forgetting beforehand.

Hello, Ted,
There’s no doubt that your Chinese is excellent. Sometimes we Chinese can’t follow some natives, let alone you. The following are the reasons.
As a country with fifty-six peoples, there are several kinds of dialects. Actually, it’s estimated that there are hundreds of varieties of Chinese. However, standard Chinese, Putonghua, as you have learned, is the official language of China. Moreover, it is one of the six official languages of the United Nations.
Different regions in China have different dialects. Even people in the same region speak different dialects, so it is not surprising that one who can speak Putonghua well can not understand the locals.
Wish you a good stay in Yunnan!

“Hard work equals success” was my chosen topic for the essay that gained me the opportunity to a first-class college. The main idea of the essay was that my achievements resulted from perseverance (坚持) and determination.
I wish I could still believe that hard work is a sure path to realizing one?s dreams. But this approach requires fairness. It doesn?t account for fate (命运) that can destroy everything you?ve worked for. About a year after I wrote my college essay, I was diagnosed with cancer. For the next two years, my hard work had nothing to do with the study of liberal arts. Instead, my challenge was to survive operations. I did survive, though cancer made me no longer believe that I could control my life simply by trying my best. After all, seventeen years of hard work had landed me in a hospital bed.
If hard work doesn?t guarantee success, what does it get you? From the perspective of middle age, I find that hard work still offers a powerful guiding belief. But my definitions are broader now. Hard work is no longer limited to improving particular skills; success goes far beyond the personal achievements that motivated (激励) me during high school.
These days, I volunteer on a women?s cance r hotline. I speak with clients who are newly diagnosed and those in the last months of their lives. Twenty-five years after my own illness, these conversations stir my memories and fears. On a practical level, I can do something. Even though I can?t impro ve our health care system or medical research, whether I match a client to an advisor or recommend a support group, I leave the cancer center feeling that I have made someone?s day better.
As I did during my teen years, I still love to give my best and gain the worldly success that may follow. But my efforts on the hotline offer a type of work and a kind of satisfaction that never entered my mind back in high school — the chance to help someone else by giving of myself.
5. The author wrote about her essay to ________.
A. express her views on great topics of essays
B. explain why she could enter college
C. prove she was very good at writing
D. show her opinions about success
6. What changed the author?s ideas about success?
A. She worked as a volunteer.
B. She suffered much from cancer.
C. She wrote a great college essay.
D. She went to a first-class college.
7. The author works on a cancer hotline to________.
A. contribute to the health care system
B. provide some help for cancer patients
C. gain materials for medical research
D. teach patients how to handle cancer
8. What does the author try to convey in the text?
A. The fate of everyone is very different.
B. Contributing to others is a kind of success.
C. People should try hard to follow dreams.
D. People must be brave in the face of difficulties
C
The terms “English” and “British” do not mean the same thing. “British” means someone who is from England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. “English” refers to people from England. People from Scotland are “Scots”，from Wales “Welsh” and from Northern Ireland “Irish”. Be sure not to call someone Welsh, Scots, or Northern Irish “English”.
Although in the past few decades, people from different backgrounds have had greater access to higher education, the British class system is still very much intact (完好无损的).Since World War II, the British culture has become increasingly colorful as it has large populations, particularly from its former colonies (殖民地) such as India, Pakistan and the West Indies.
The British have b een historically known for “smile and bear” attitude as shown during the German bombings of World War II. This attitude in the face of difficulty or embarrassment lives on today. As a nation, the Brits may appear serious when they speak. This does not mean that they do not have strong emotions; it merely means that they do not choose to put them on public display. They are generally not very openly demonstrative, and unless you know someone well, they may not appreciate it if you put your arm around their shoulder. Kissing is most often for family members in the privacy of home, rather than in public. You?ll see that the British prefer to maintain a few feet of distance between themselves and the person to whom they are speaking. If you have offended someone, their facial expression may not change.
The British are very reserved (矜持的) and private people. Privacy is extremely important. The British will not necessarily give you a tour of their home and, in fact, may keep most doors closed. They expect others to respect their privacy. This extends to not asking personal questions. The question, “Where are you from?” may be viewed as an attempt to “place” the person on the social or class scale (等级). Even close friends do not ask personal questions, particularly a sking about one?s financial situation or relationships.
9. Why is the British culture colorful?
A. Because Britain has a very long history.
B. Because various kinds of people settle in Britain.
C. Because the British bring new things back home.
D. Because native British people learn from each other.
10. What does the underlined word “demonstrative” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Being unlikely to be friendly.
B. Being good at persuading people.
C. Be willing to show one?s feelings.
D. Being able to accept different cultures.
11. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. British people are very serious even at home.
B. British people don?t treat people in a friendly way.
C. British people are sensitive about the topic of social status.
D. British people are similar to Americans in social relationships.
D
There has been some discussion that all high school students may soon be required to get involved in their communities. So will students benefit from community service enough when school districts make it a requirement of graduation? Or is it just more stress added to the already busy schedules of most students?
Such a requirement actually has its advantages. Most teenagers have a lot of energy and are eager to take on a project to help the community or the world. They like to do group projects and they like to create ideas for new projects. Community service may help teenagers build leadership skills and learn that they have the ability to start a project that will help people greatly. When community service is required for graduation, it sparks creativity in students and propels (驱使) them to create projects that may have a deep impact on the local community. What?s more, when students work with community leaders in public service they start to make connections that may help them later in their careers or life.
However, it also has its disadvantages. Some students have to work after school and at weekends to help support their family or to buy the clothes and supplies they need for school. Many high school students have very busy school, work, and sport schedules that barely leave time for sleep. Adding community service requirements would severely put stress on some high school students who work long hours simply to keep their family out of debt. Also take into account students who may just want to volunteer for the sake of helping others and not to get something out of it. To some degree, requiring someone to volunteer takes away the whole purpose of volunteerism.
To conclude, I?d say community service not only benefit s the community but also benefits the volunteers themselves. However, not everyone is able to do that. So high school students should just be encouraged to volunteer.
12. What can we learn about community service from Paragraph 2?
A. It requires some leadership skills.
B. It?s a must for good future careers.
C. It helps students graduate successfully.
D. It can be good to students as well as local people.
13. According to Paragraph 3, why are some students unable to do volunteer work?
A. Because they aren?t supported by their parents.
B. Because their living conditions don?t allow it.
C. Because they don?t meet the requirement.
D. Because they?re the ones who need help.
14. What is the text mainly about?
A. Whether volunteering should be a high school graduation requirement.
B. Whether doing volunteer work benefits high school students.
C. Whether high school students should do volunteer work.
D. Whether community service should be encouraged.
15. Which of the following best describes the relation among the paragraphs?

But he became inspired when he tho ught about helping ordinary people exposed to cholera. This was the deadly dise ase of its day. Neither its cause nor its cure was understood. So many thousand s of terrified people died every time there was an outbreak. John Snow wanted t o face the challenge and solve this problem. He knew that cholera would never b e controlled until its cause was found. He became interested in two theories that possibly explained how cholera ki lled people. The first suggested that cholera multiplied in the air. A cloud of dangerous gas floated around until it found its victims. The second suggested that people absorbed this disease into their bodies with their meals. From the stomach the disease quickly attacked the body and soon the affected person die d. John Snow suspected that the second theory was correct but he needed eviden ce. So when another outbreak hit London in 1854, he was ready to begin his enqu iry. As the disease spread quickly through poor neighbourhoods, he began to gat her information. In two particular streets, the cholera outbreak was so severe that more than 500 people died in ten days. He was determined to find out why. First he marked on a map the exact places where all the dead people had liv ed. This gave him a valuable clue about the cause of the disease. Many of the d eaths were near the water pump in Broad Street (especially numbers 16, 37, 38 a nd 40). He also noticed that some houses (such as 20 and 21 Broad Street and 8 and 9 Cambridge Street) had had no deaths. He had not foreseen this, so he made further investigations. He discovered that these people worked in the pub at 7 Cambridge Street. They had been given free beer and so had not drunk the water from the pump. It seemed that the water was to blame. Next, John Snow looked into the source of the water for these two streets. He found that it came from the river polluted by the dirty water from London. H e immediately told the astonished people in Broad Street to remove the handle f rom the pump so that it could not be used. Soon afterwards the disease slowed d own. He had shown that cholera was spread by germs and not in a cloud of gas. In another part of London, he found supporting evidence from two other deat hs that were linked to the Broad Street outbreak. A woman, who had moved away f rom Broad Street, liked the water from the pump so much that she had it deliver ed to her house every day. Both she and her daughter died of cholera after drin king the water. With this extra evidence John Snow was able to announce with ce rtainty that polluted water carried the virus.

-必修 5 Unit 2 The United Kingdom Reading PUZZLES IN GEOGRAPHY People may wonder why different words are used to describe these four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. You can clarify this question if you study British history. First there was England. Wales was linked to it in the thirteenth century. Now when people refer to England you find Wales included as well. Next England and Wales were joined to Scotland in the seventeenth century and the name was changed to "Great Britain". Happily this was accomplished without conflict when King James of Scotland became King of England and Wales as well. Finally the English government tried in the early twentieth century to form the United Kingdom by getting Ireland connected in the same peaceful way. However, the southern part of Ireland was unwilling and broke away to form its own government. So only Northern Ireland joined with England, Wales and Scotland to become the United Kingdom and this was shown to the world in a new flag called the Union Jack. To their credit the four countries do work together in some areas (eg, the currency and international relations), but they still have very different institutions. For example, Northern Ireland, England and Scotland have different educational and legal systems as well as different football teams for competitions like the World Cup! England is the largest of the four countries, and for convenience it is divided roughly into three zones. The zone nearest France is called the South of England, the middle zone is called the Midlands and the one nearest to Scotland is known as the North. You find most of the population settled in the south, but most of the industrial cities in the Midlands and the North of England. Although, nationwide, these cities are not as large as those in China, they have world-famous football teams and some of them even have two! It is a pity that the industrial cities built in the nineteenth century do not attract visitors. For historical architecture you have to go to older but smaller towns built by the Romans. There you will find out more about British history and culture. The greatest historical treasure of all is London with its museums, art collections, theatres, parks and buildings. It is the centre of national

He had shown that cholera was spread by germs and not in a cloud of gas. In another part of London, he found supporting evidence from two other deaths that were linked to the Broad Street outbreak. A woman, who had moved away fr om Broad Street, liked the water from the pump so much that she had it delivered to her house every day. Both she and her daughter died of cholera after drinking the water. With this extra evidence John Snow was able to announce with certaint y that polluted water carried the virus. To prevent this from happening again, John Snow suggested that the source o f all the water supplies be examined. The water companies were instructed not to expose people to polluted water any more. Finally "King Cholera" was defeated. COPERNICUS’ REVOLUTIONRRY THEORY
