    British Broadcasting Corporation(the BBC) was founded in 1922, including radio and television services. It is based at Broadcasting House in London.
    The BBC is controlled by some governors chosen by the government, but these people have complete freedom and government can’t interfere. That is, the BBC is not the mouthpiece (喉舌) of the government. It has to be as fair as possible in giving radio and television time to, for example, political parties and religious groups.
    There is a kind of interesting services in Britain- rental (租借) services. Many people prefer to rent their television sets instead of buying them. The rent for a black and white set is about 80 pence a week. The rent of a color set is more than twice that of a black and white set. If the sets go wrong, people can have them repaired free of charge or replace immediately.
    Everyone who owns or rents a television set has to pay a yearly licence, there is no advertising on BBC radio or television. It is from the sale of licence that the BBC gets most of its money. A licence for a black and white set costs 8 pounds, and for a color set 18 pounds a year.
    There are four specialized radio channels, which broadcast different kinds of programmes. Radio I is mainly pop music. Radio 2 deals with light music, sports and other programmes. Radio 3 broadcasts serious music, talks on serious subjects etc. News broadcasts are mainly given by Radio 4.
    There are special programmes for Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and certain parts of England. It also broadcasts programmes about Britain - in many different languages as well as in English to all parts of the world.

    San Francisco's Chinatown is the biggest and oldest in the country. It's the third most visited tourist destination in the city. It's also the city's most densely populated neighbor- hood. So why are. businesses in Chinatown struggling?
    In this week's paper, I outline some of the reasons for why Chinatown's crowded streets and busy shops might be declining. Underneath the surface, Chinatown is falling. And the city, local organizations and businesses are trying to figure out what they can do to turn things around.
    While numbers of people visit Chinatown, they don't stay long and they don't spend a lot of money.  And beyond annual festivals,1ike Chinese New Years,  this month's Moon Festival and last month's Sunday Streets - which drew about 15,000 t0 20.000 people – the neighborhood has a hard time attracting locals.
    Can you remember the last. time you went to Chinatown ?If you can't, You're not alone. Locals told me that Chinatown doesn't have much to offer them - that the stores are all the same.

But when asked if the-v would like to see Chinatown gone, the answer was always a strong no.
    Locals are hopeful that things will get better and traffic will increase when the Central Subway is complete. But chat's not for another five years. at least. And if' new shops or restaurants don't make their way into Chinatown. the same problem of attracting locals will exist.
    Not that Chinatown's going to die. The dragon still has some fire in its belly. And many people are rooting for positive change. The question is, how does Chinatown change without losing the very importance of what makes it unique?

    There are a number of different ways to study a language, each of which has advantages and disadvantages. You may find a combination of these is a best choice for you.
    If you can find a course in the language you want to learn in your country, this is quite a good way to study. A variety of courses are usually available, including part-time and full-time courses. If you look around, you can probably find a course that suits your needs.
    The main advantage of such courses is that you’ll have a teacher to provide you with instructions, support and with whom to practice your language. You will also be studying with others who are at more or less the same level and you can exchange ideas with them and help one another.
    One choice is to study a language in a country where it’s spoken. There are many schools teaching English, French, Spanish, Italian and German, but far fewer teaching other languages. The main advantage of studying abroad is that you are totally in the language, not just in class, but the rest of the time as well. As a result, you can make rapid progress.
    The main disadvantage of studying abroad is the cost, not just of your course, but also of your food and travel. However, if you’re a native speaker of English, you could get a job teaching English in a country where the language you want to learn is spoken.
    Studying online is also a good choice. There are plenty to choose from a lot of languages. Many are free but there are some you have to pay for. Some of the paid ones provide support from teachers via email, chat programs, video conferencing, telephone or even face to face.

    小题3:The online courses ________.
    A．are all free of charge
    B．can’t be found everywhere
    C．can be easily taken on the Internet
    D．are all supported by teachers

    Speaking from my past experience, it is very difficult to find good friends that you can trust but once you have found them, they are worth keeping forever! Therefore, I think friendship is the most important relationship that anybody could have.
    The qualities I look for in a friend are a good sense of humor but sensitivity when it matters. Also that friend would have to be strong-minded and highly spirited. I think that these qualities are the key qualities to look for in a good friend.
    Even the strongest friends can still have arguments, although usually about more serious topics, rather than the usual teenage childish arguments. Some matters can seriously affect a friendship. If one of your friends started experimenting with harmful and dangerous drugs, what would you do ? A good friend would try to help as much as possible, whereas a bad example of a friend would simply shrug(耸肩) and turn a blind eye.
    Not only the bad things affect friendship ---- good activities do too. Such as bonding with one another, not just by going out on a night with them but by spending quality time with them and talking to each other, which indicates a good ability to communicate. This is a key aspect of a good friendship.   
    Good friends do not always have to be in the same age group as you. I have a good friend and she is 47 years old and I am 16.
    Unfortunately, some people lose contact with their friends as they grow older, which is a sad way to lose a good friend.
    I think friendship is one of the most important things in life because if you have no friends you will have no happiness.
    小题1:According to the author, true friendship _______.
    A．is easy to getB．deepens with time
    C．needs managementD．affects one’s happiness
    小题2:Paragraph 3 is mainly about______.
    A．why drugs are bad for teenagers
    B．problems that will test friendship
    C．ways that help avoid arguments
    D．whether a friend is trustworthy
    小题3:According to the author, which matters least in friendship?
    A．Age.B．Sensitivity.
    C．Sense of humor.D．Communication ability.
    小题4:Which of the following saying can match the author’s view on friendship?
    A．Old friends and old wines are best.
    B．A friend without faults will never be found.
    C．A life without a friend is a life without the sun.
    D．a friend to everybody is a friend to nobody.

    If you want to see climate change, head north and keep going until you run out of globe. That is easier said than done. The Arctic (北极) is home to few people and covered in ice much of the year. But those who make their way to the icy seas of the Arctic Ocean will see a part of the planet that is warming and changing faster than anywhere else.
    In September, scientists announced at the National Snow and Ice Data (数据) Center that Arctic summer sea ice had fallen to its second lowest level since 1979, and probably long before that. The Arctic has lost an area of ice greater than the area of all U.S. states east of the Mississippi River. And what ice remains appears to be getting thinner and weaker.
    Nick Toberg and Till Wagner are polar ice scientists who are doing sea ice fieldwork. “There is plenty of data to suggest that the ice is becoming thinner as well as smaller in area,” they say.
    The changes happening in the Arctic are a warning for the entire world .  As polar expert Walt
    Meier puts it, “What happens in the Arctic doesn’t stay in the Arctic.”
    Some scientists worry that Arctic sea ice may be going from a downward spiral (螺旋线) to a “death spiral”, one from which there is no escape. As more ice melts (融化), more dark open water appears. The darkness absorbs (吸收) more heat, which speeds up the pace of melting.
    Until recently, many scientists thought it might take until the end of the century for the North Pole to become completely ice free during the summer. Now some believe it could happen by 2030 or even earlier. “The melting is happening faster in the real world than it has in the models,” says Nick Toberg.
    小题1:The purpose of the first paragraph is to tell readers __________.
    A．it’s difficult to arrive at the Arctic
    B．it is too cold for people to live in the Arctic
    C．what caused the climate change in the Arctic
    D．we can see the most obvious climate change in the Arctic
    小题2:From the second paragraph we can learn Arctic summer sea ice __________.
    A．is still decreasing
    B．began reducing in 1979
    C．fell to its lowest level in September
    D．is equal to the Mississippi River
    小题3:What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?
    A．The changes don’t affect the Arctic at all.
    B．The changes will only happen in the Arctic.
    C．The changes happening in the Arctic will stop.
    D．The changes will also affect other parts of the world.
    小题4:Nick Toberg may agree that __________.
    A．the ice in the North Pole will stop melting
    B．the ice in the North Pole is melting faster than expected
    C．the ice in the North Pole will melt before 2030 or even earlier
    D．the ice in the North Pole will not disappear until the end of the century

    Police fired tear gas and arrested more than 5,000 passively resisting protestors Friday in an attempt to break up the largest antinuclear demonstration ever staged in the United States. More than 135,000 demonstrators confronted police on the construction site of a 1,000-megawatt nuclear power plant scheduled to provide power to most of southern New Hampshire. Organizers of the huge demonstration said, the protest was continuing despite the police actions. More demonstrators were arriving to keep up the pressure on state authorities to cancel the project. The demonstrator had charged that the project was unsafe in the densely populated area, would create thermal pollution in the bay, and had no acceptable means for disposing of its radioactive wasters. The demonstrations would go on until the jails and the courts were so overloaded that the state judicial system would collapse.
    Governor Stanforth Thumper insisted that there would be no reconsideration of the power project and no delay in its construction set for completion in three years. “This project will begin on time and the people of this state will begin to receive its benefits on schedule. Those who break the law in misguided attempts to sabotage the project will be dealt with according to the law,” he said. And police called in reinforcements from all over the state to handle the disturbances.
    The protests began before dawn Friday when several thousand demonstrators broke through police lines around the cordoned-off construction site. They carried placards that read “No Nukes is Good Nukes,” “Sunpower, Not Nuclear Power,” and “Stop Private Profits from Public Peril.” They defied police order to move from the area. Tear gas canisters fired by police failed to dislodge the protestors who had come prepared with their own gas masks or facecloths. Finally gas-masked and helmeted police charged into the crowd to drag off the demonstrators one by one. The protestors did not resist police, but refused to walk away under their own power. Those arrested would be charged with unlawful assembly, trespassing, and disturbing the peace.
    小题1:What were the demonstrators protesting about?
    [A] Private profits.
    [B]Nuclear Power Station.
    [C] The project of nuclear power construction.
    [D] Public peril.
    小题2:Who had gas-masks?
    [A] Everybody.
    [B]A part of the protestors.
    [C] Policemen.
    [D] Both B and C.
    小题3:.Which of the following was NOT mentioned as a reason for the demonstration?
    [A] Public transportation.
    [B]Public peril.
    [C] Pollution.
    [D] Disposal of wastes.
    小题4:.With whom were the jails and courts overloaded?
    [A] With prisoners.
    [B]With arrested demonstrators.
    [C] With criminals.
    [D] With protestors.
    小题5:What is the attitude of Governor Stanforth Thumper toward the power project and the demonstration?
    [A] stubborn.
    [B]insistent.
    [C] insolvable.
    [D] remissible.
