A
Podcasts（播客）
The B.S.Report
Designed for the sports fan with a sense of humor,The B.S.Report is hosted by the sportswriter Bill Simmons. Simmons' show is in very loose and free form and it's not uncommon for him to go almost a whole show without even mentioning sports,especially when he really gets going about movies or his ongoing enthusiasm about reality television.
Wait,Wait...Don't Tell Me
One of the most popular programs on National Public Radio,Wait,Wait…Don't Tell Me is now available as a podcast.The show is a news program in the form of a game show.Each week a group of three humorists and writers join host Peter Sagal in Chicago,where they are quizzed on the week's most important and funny news stories. Listeners also get to call in to play different news related games for a prize.
The Moth
The Moth is a weekly podcast run by a nonprofit art organization.The show is made up of recordings of "true stories told before a live audience without notes".Each week,the group releases short 10-20 minute tales told by people from all walks of life.Past presenters have included writers,comedians,scientists,and
even New York City police officers.
Filmspotting
Filmspotting is a weekly podcast and is a must-listen for any movie fan.The show is focused on movie reviews, but hosts Adam Kempenaar and Matty Robinson do more than just tell their listeners which new movie is worth seeing.They also discuss and examine film as an art form.The show doesn't just focus on current movies,either,as the hosts frequently discuss old films as part of theme marathons.
21.Which host can you turn to if you want to win an award?
A.Bill Simmons.
B.Peter Sagal.
C.Adam Kempenaar.
D.Matty Robinson.

I opened my door to two little girls.I had met Alyssa,six,two weeks before.Since then,she'd waved to me every time she passed my house.
"Hello.Grandma Bonnie!"Alyssa said."This is my little sister,Ariana.She's three."To her very nervous sister,"It's OK,honey.You'll like her."The three-year-old held a "bouquet"（花束）in one hand,and the other gripped（紧握）a tiny notebook and a huge broken crayon."Go on,"her big sister urged,"tell her."
Ariana looked at me seriously."I want to help raise money for my preschool,"she said,holding out her flowers. "So I'm selling these for one dollar a bunch."
I had a hard time hiding my smile.The bouquet consisted of seven oxalis（醡
浆草）flowers.Oxalis is a weed almost impossible to get rid of.Obviously Ariana had pulled these flowers out from her own yard or a neighbor's.
Her big sister smiled,"Aren't they lovely,Grandma Bonnie?And they only cost a dollar for the whole bunch.It's all for Ariana's preschool."The girls' plan did amuse me."All right," I agreed,"one dollar coming up."
Alyssa put the bill in her sister's skirt pocket.Then Ariana handed me my purchase."Uh,"I suggested,"why don't you just keep the flowers and the money? Then you could sell the flowers to someone else."Both girls stared at me, horrified."Oh,no,"Ariana cried."We picked them just for you.See,they're beautiful!"
And so they were.A week later,the flowers were twice as many as when my little neighbor handed them to me.What a bargain!
I had called these tiny plants "weeds"—disgusting,worthless things with no right to exist.But in their innocent hearts,those two little girls saw them as a precious creation to treasure and share out of loving hearts to brighten the day of a lonely old "Grandma".
25.Those two little girls paid a visit to the author to .
A.say hello to their new neighbor
B.introduce the little sister to her
C.bring her some beautiful flowers
D.collect money for a special purpose
26.What did the author want to do after knowing the girls' wish?
A.Refuse the girls' request directly.
B.Pay one dollar for the whole bunch.
C.Put the bill into the little girl's pocket.
D.Donate money without accepting flowers.
27.How did the author feel when seeing those tiny plants a week later?
A.Grateful.
B.Disgusted.
C.Fortunate.
D.Desperate.
28.What is the best title for the text?

C.Raised Money for Preschool
D.Delighted an Old Grandma

Jessica Westervelt,a Spanish teacher at Bethlehem High School in New York,created an activity called "House Hunters",which was inspired by the popular television show"House Hunters International",for her Spanish class about four years ago.
Similar to the show,students work in groups,pretending to be real house agents,and look for three houses in Spanish-speaking countries.She uses the activity to teach vocabulary related to the home,chores,travel and vacation. She created the exercise because she wanted to incorporate her students' interests into the curriculum（课程）.At the time,a group of her students were big fans of the show.
The students look for a home for Westervelt to buy to live in,or rent for vacation.She tells them what she is looking for in a home and gives them a budget.Students work in groups of three,and each group is responsible for finding one house in a Spanish-speaking country that fits the requirements.
The groups usually make a brochure describing the houses they find.Each group presents their findings to the class,while the other students take notes.The entire activity is done in Spanish,so students get to practice their writing,listening and conversation skills.They also get some cultural education when researching homes in Spanish-speaking countries.Westervelt says that students planning to take the class look forward to her project.
Westervelt says,"I think any time that you can find a way to link into something that they are interested in outside of school,it makes it more realistic for them and it makes that activity much more enjoyable for them."
29.How did Westervelt come up with the idea of the activity?
A.She got it from a TV program.
B.She was inspired by her students.
C.She learned it from a house agent.
D.She was taught that in high school.
30.Which of the following can replace the underlined word "incorporate" in Paragraph 2?
A.change
B.absorb
C.force
D.persuade
31.What are the students supposed to do with the houses they find?
A.Live in the houses for a while.
B.Rent the houses for their vacation.
C.Write an introduction to the houses.
D.Choose and buy one for their teacher.
32.What do Westervelt's words in the last paragraph mean?
A.Most school activities are not enjoyable.
B.Students should be realistic about study.
C.Out-of-school activities are very important.
D.Learning should be combined with interest.
D
It's a scene so common: Coffee shops are filled with customers who seem more absorbed in their study or work than in their drinks.The coffee shop has become a popular place for modern-day students and workers.It's less boring than the library,and yet it is still filled with the same energy as a school.
There might be a good reason why students are drawn to social spaces like coffee shops for study.A recent study conducted by researchers in Belgium indicates that productivity may increase in coffee shops.
As part of the study,about 40 participants were placed side-by-side in pairs and asked to undergo（经历）reaction-time tests.Each participant sat in front of a computer screen,which flashed different colored squares.The goal for each person was to hit the key on the keyboard that corresponded with each square.Though each participant worked separately,they were affected by how hard their neighbor was working.The researchers varied the difficulty levels of each person's test,and they found that if they paired a person working on a medium-difficult test with someone taking a very difficult test,the first person would work harder.Not only that,but the first person's accuracy would also improve.
"It seems like noticing that their partner is working hard motivated people to work hard too,"a researcher explained.But the researchers couldn't exactly explain why."One possibility is that the hard workers' body position got noticeably more tense.So next time you enter a coffee shop to study or work,sitting next to customers who are obviously in the zone may be a wise choice."
33.Why do students prefer to study in coffee shops rather than in libraries?
A.They can enjoy drinks while studying.
B.It's too boring for them to study in a library.
C.They can conduct their academic researches.
D.Coffee shops have a better atmosphere.
34.How would a participant be affected by a neighbor doing a more difficult test?
A.He would work less hard.
B.He would possibly give up.
C.He would achieve better results.
D.He would change the difficulty level.
35.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A.Further research will be done in the future.
B.Sit next to a hard worker if you want to study.
C.Customers should sit tensely in a coffee shop.
D.The researchers have fully explained the result.

When we were kids,my little sister Madison and I were the M & Ms—my parents' two daughters._36_So it was quite a surprise when my mom and dad sat us down to let us know that baby number three was on the way when I was 10 years old.However,as soon as my brother Mac was born,he completely stole my heart and I have learned a few things from having a young brother.
_37_
Having a baby in your life means watching your parents endlessly change diapers （尿布）,make bottles,and wipe spit-ups every once in a while.I was allowed to do those things and I learned just how important it was to take care of this little
life before I even hit middle school.
You watch a child grow up.
_38_I remember how excited my family was when we discovered how fast of a reader he was in kindergarten. I'll never forget telling him bedtime stories before he went to sleep at night.It's cool to think about the entirety of his life and how far he has come.
You teach your brother life lessons.
From a young age,my brother watched my sister and me overcome personal challenges,go to high school,and, worst of all,get our hearts broken._39_Watching his sisters go through life's difficulties has taught him how he should act when he gets older.
Now Mac is 11 years old.I have no shame in telling people that one of my best friends is an 11-year-old boy.In fact,our family without him is unimaginable._40_
A.You stay in the know.
B.You learn about responsibility early on.
C.We received a lot of attention,and we liked it that way.
D.All I can say is that my family wouldn't be happy without Mac.
E.I remember the first time Mac crawled,walked,and said my name.
F.Thanks,Mom and Dad,for turning the M & Ms into the Three Musketeers.
G.Nothing makes Mac more upset than a mean guy who hurts a girl's feelings.

the collection of ancient Greek works of art,antiques,statues—a brilliant show.On Friday morning and afternoon we'll visit historic sites.On Saturday we're off to the Greek islands.Now,the big news! At first we thought we'd take the ferry.We have to use several ferries,each one carrying four people.But we've been very lucky to secure a sailing boat which is big enough for all of us.I'm really excited about this part of the trip,because we'll see the islands to the best advantage,and we'll be able to sail around and sleep on board.We'll get off at different islands and for one part of the trip we'll have people playing Greek traditional music actually on board with us.。
