Years ago, I volunteered at a homeless shelter in Los Angeles,
handing out food. Once I got talking with Albert, a tall and skinny young
guy in line. He said he liked my socks. “Want to see mine?” he joked,
lifting his leg. He was barefoot. I felt a sinking feeling in my stomach.
The next day, after work, I stopped at Ross and filled up my truck with
socks. The following early morning, I drove over to Santa Monica’s
Palisades Park, which is a common destination for homeless people.
I took one of the bags from my trunk. It was still dark out. I headed for a
group of three men, standing around a tree, probably using it as a
windbreaker. Two were asleep under heavy blankets (毯子), and the
third was digging through his collection. As I walked toward him, he
watched me, perhaps questioning my motives (动机). “I thought you
guys might need some fresh new socks,” I said, handing him a pair. He
looked confused at first but took them and said, “Thank you.” I gave him
two more pairs for his friends.
I moved on. An hour later, I had given out all the socks. Most people
were sleeping, and I felt like Santa. I knew that when they wake up they
would find a very meaningful present.That was nine years ago. Every week Ill hand out as many socks as I can.
If I’m on vacation or on a business trip for more than a week, I bring a bag
of socks with me and hand them out to the homeless on the streets in other
states and countries.
It’s extremely satisfying to operate “under the radar (雷达)” to help
make some people’s lives a little bit easier. Part of me hopes to see Albert
out there one of these days, but even if I don’t, I like to think one of the
pairs will find him.

5. What is Ross most probably?
A. A store. B. A garage. C. A public park. D. A homeless shelter.
6. What does the author think to be especially satisfying?
A. Spending early morning at a park.
B. Making weekends as holidays.
C. Playing Santa in public.
D. Helping others silently.
7. What can be the best title for the text?
A. A Unique Experience at a Homeless Shelter
B. The Easy Way Out of Helping the Poor
C. Satisfactory Return from Kindness
D. Unexpected Gifts to the Homeless

The Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, California is one of the
world’s most beautiful bridges. It is also one of the most visited places in the
world. More than 1,800 hundred million vehicles have used the bridge since
it opened more than 70 years ago.
The bridge was painted “International Orange” because that color went
well with the natural surroundings. The color also is easier to see in the
heavy fog that often covers the area. But the Golden Gate Bridge was not
named for its orange color. It was named for the body of water that it
crosses, the Golden Gate Strait (海峽), which is the entrance to the
San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean.
Planning for the bridge began in the 1920s when the area around San
Francisco was growing. People living in the area needed another way to get
to the city besides small ferries (渡船). Joseph Strauss was the chiefengineer for the project. Work began in 1934. Mr. Strauss demanded the
strongest safety protections in the history of bridge building. These included
the first use of “hard hats” to protect the workers heads and special glasses
to protect their eyes. A special safety net was suspended (悬挂) under
the bridge. This net saved the lives of 19 men during the construction.
The Golden Gate Bridge opened in 1937. It extends 1,280 meters
across the water. The total length is 2,737 meters. It was the largest
suspension bridge in the world until 1964. That is when the Verrazano
Narrows Bridge opened in New York City. Today, the Golden Gate Bridge
is the ninth longest suspension bridge in the world.
8. What was the Golden Gate Bridge named after?
A. The local climate. B. The color of the paint.
C. The strait it crosses. D. Its natural surroundings.
9. How do people cross the Golden Gate Strait now?
A. By plane. B. By train. C. By ship. D. By car.
10. Why did they use a net under the bridge?
A. To make construction easier.
B. To protect the workers.
C. To save building materials from falling.
D. To prevent the environment being polluted.
11. What do we know about Joseph Strauss according to the passage?
A. He attached importance to the workers safety.
B. He built the first suspension bridge in the world.
C. He took safety measures of ideal value in bridge building.
D. He demanded strong measures to ensure the safety of the bridge.

Filmmaker Jennifer Nelson had to pay $1,500 to have “Happy Birthday
to You” sung in the movie she’s making. The money went to Warner Music
Group, a company that claims to own the copyright on the song. A
copyright is the legal right to use or sell a creative product such as a song,
a TV show, a book, or a work of art. Warner has claimed the copyright
for “Happy Birthday to You” since 1988.
“I never thought the song was owned by anyone,” Nelson said in an e-
mail to The New York Times. “I thought it belonged to everyone.”Nelsons movie is a documentary—a film that uses pictures or interviews
with people to create a factual report of real-life events—and is actually about
the history of the “Happy Birthday” song itself.
Two sisters named Mildred and Patty Hill wrote a song called “Good
Morning to All” in 1893. Over a short period of time, people began to sing
the words “happy birthday to you” in place of the original lyrics to the tune of
the Hill sisters song.
A number of history experts say that there is no record of who actually
wrote the “Happy Birthday to You” lyrics. Historians also say there is no way
to know when the general public began singing the “Happy Birthday” song,
but they believe it was being sung by the public long before it was printed
and owned by a company.
Nelsons lawyers say this piece of music’s history proves that “Happy
Birthday to You” belongs to everyone in the general public. That would mean
Warner Music Group has no right to charge anyone a fee to sing the song in
any setting.
Experts estimate (估计) that Warner/Chappell, the publishing
division of the Warner Music Group, has made about $2 million a year from
licensing fees for “Happy Birthday to You”.
Nelsons lawyers are asking a court in New York City to order
Warner/Chappell to return fees they have collected over the past four years
for the use of the “Happy Birthday” song.
12. Why did Jennifer Nelson have to pay Warner Music Group?
A. To have it write a song for her movie.
B. To have it play a song in her movie.
C. To use a song in her movie.
D. To own the copyright on a song.
13. What can we learn about the song according to the history exports?
A. It has always been very popular.
B. It has a history of more than 200 years.
C. It does not belong to Warner Music Group.
D. It was owned by another company at first.
14. According to Nelsons lawyers, to sing the “Happy Birthday” song,
people ____ .
A. should pay the Hill sisters
B. needn’t pay for any purposeC. should pay Warner Music Group
D. needn’t pay except for business use
15. If the court supports the lawyers claim, ____ .
A. Warner will return about $8 million
B. Nelson can get the copyright on the song
C. Warner will have to pay her for her damages
D. Nelson needs to pay only a little to use the song

书面表达
One possible version:
Dear David,
Thanks for your letter. Let me tell you what role music plays in my life.
I like many kinds of music, such as classical music, Chinese folk
music, and American country music, but my favorite music is light music.
Whenever I am in trouble, the soft melody will make me relaxed.
Modern popular music such as hip-hop, rap, blues, and rock roll
isn’t my cup of tea. It is too loud and very difficult for me to understand! I
can’t stand the strong beat, which nearly makes me mad!
In conclusion, music plays a very important part in my life. Just like
meals and sleep, I can’t live without music.
Yours,
Wang Hua
