听力原文：M: Mary, can you tell why Britain is separated from the continent？
W: I guess I cannot. Maybe millions of years ago, at the end of the Ice Age, a great flood washed over a wide, low plain, and created the English Channel. From then on, the island of Britain was isolated from the rest of Europe,
M: I know there have been many people who have wanted to swim across the Channel, and some of them have succeeded.
W: What's more, quite a lot of people have thought of building a channel since the 18th century, but no one thought this dream would come true. Now however, the Channel, the longest underwater passage in the world, has been built.
M: When did such a miracle occur？
W: A British team started to drill southeast from Dover and a French team started to drill northwest from Sangatte in 1987. The two teams met under the Channel in December, 1990, and they celebrated the completion of the 23-mile shaft. The tunnel was not open to the public until 1993 and now it is able to carry up more than 30 million passengers a year.
M: How long will it take to cross the Channel on the trains？
W: Only 26 minutes. In the old days, people had to spend hours on the ferry in rough seas.
M: It serves to strengthen the tie between Britain and the continent, further promote their mutual understanding.
W: You are right.
What is the most possible reason for the English Channel to emerge？
A．Because of a flood millions of years ago.
B．Because of an earthquake millions of years ago.
C．Because of a flood thousands of years ago.
D．Because of a volcano eruption millions of years ago.

I want to translate the Web into every major language: every webpage, every video, and,yes, even Justin Bieber' s tweets.
Nowadays, most of the Web is inaccessible(不能接触的)to most people in the world because its content splits up into hundreds of languages with over 50% of it in English.This problem is pressing, now more than ever, with millions of people from China, Russia,Latin America and other quickly developing regions entering the Web.
There are certainly systems (like Google translate) that are improving every day at translating the gist of things written in other languages than English. Unfortunately, they are not yet accurate enough: even when what they spit out is intelligible(智能的),it’s so badly written that people can't read more than a few lines before getting a headache.
This is why a new project called Duo lingo is introduced here. Duo lingo aims at breaking the language barrier, and thus making the Web truly”world wide.”
The idea behind Duo lingo is to kill two birds with one stone by solving both of these problems simultaneously. It is accomplished by transforming language translation into something that anyone can do一not just bilinguals一and that millions of people want to do: learning a foreign language. It is estimated that over one billion people worldwide are learning a foreign language, with millions doing so using computer programs.
With Duo lingo, people learn and translate a foreign language at the same time. When you learn on Duo lingo, the website gives you exercises set specifically for you that teach you every aspect of the new language. You may be asked to translate a sentence, to pronounce or listen to a phrase, or to describe what you see in an image. In this way, Duo lingo produces translations that are as accurate as those from professional language translators.
26. What does the author want to do？().
A. Business communication.
B. Online Translation.
C. Door-to-door sales.
27. According to the article, most people in the world can’t receive most of the information on the Web due to the problem of().
A. different languages
B. social conflicts
C. governmental disagreement
28. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a problem of many translating systems？().
A. They are not accurate enough.
B. They don’t work every day.
C. The translations are badly written.
29. to kill two birds with one stone means to().
A. Spend time and moneymaking success
B. Do things without conside1ing its results
C. Solve both problems with only one move
30. What can you be asked to do to while using Duo lingo？().
A. To the product with others
B. To pay for the exercises you learn
C. To describe the image that you see
Millions of people pass through the gates of Disney's(迪斯尼的) entertainment parks in California, Florida and Japan each year. What makes these places so attractive？ What makes foreign kings and queens and other important people want to visit these Disney parks？ Well, one reason is the way they are treated once they get there. The people at Disney go out of their way to serve their "guests", as they prefer to call them, and to see that they enjoy themselves.
All new employees, from vice(副) presidents to part-time workers, begin their employment by attending Disney University and taking "traditions I". Here, they learn about the company's history, how it is managed, and why it is successful. They are shown how each department relates to the whole. All employees are shown how their part is important in making the park a success.
After passing "Traditions I", the employees go on to more specialized(专门的) training for their specific jobs. No detail is missed. A simple job like taking tickets requires four eight-hour days of training.
Even Disney's managers get involved in the daily management of the park. Every year, the managers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes. For a full week, the bosses sell hot dogs or ice cream, take tickets or drive the monorail(单轨车), and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the entertainment park come alive. The managers agree that this work helps them to see the company's goals more clearly.
The first day they come to Disney parks, all new employees ______.
A．begin by receiving on-the-job training
B．must learn several different jobs
C．work as ticket takers at the gate
D．have already attended Disney University
Crystal Ear
One day a friend asked my wife Jill if I wanted a heating aid. "He certainly does. "replied Jill. After heating about a remarkable new product. Jill finally got up the nerve to ask me if I'd ever thought about getting a heating aid. "No way," I said. "It would make me look 20 years older." "No, no," she replied. "This is entirely different. It's Crystal Ear!"
Jill was right. Crystal Ear is different--not the old-styled body worn or over-the-ear aid, but all advanced personal sound system so small that it's like contacts(隐形眼镜) for your ears. And Crystal Ear is super-sensitive and powerful, too. You will hear sounds your ears have been missing for years. Crystal Ear will make speech louder, and the sound is pure and natural.
I couldn't believe how tiny it is. It is smaller than the tip of my little finger and it's almost invisible when worn. There are no wires, no behind-the-ear device. Put it in your ear and its ready-to-wear mold(形状) fits comfortably. Since it's not too loud or too tight, you may even forget that you're wearing it! Use it at work or at play. And if your hearing problem is worse in certain situations, use Crystal Ear only when you need it.
Heating loss, which occurs typically prior to teenage years, progresses throughout one's lifetime. Although hearing loss is now the world's number one health problem, nearly 90 percent of people suffering heating loss choose to leave the problem untreated. For many millions, treating hearing loss in a conventional way can involve numerous office visits, expensive testing and adjustments to fit your ear. Thanks to Crystal Ear, the "sound solution" is now convenient. Almost 90 percent of people with mild hearing loss, and millions more with just a little hearing drop-off (下降), can be dramatically helped with Crystal Ear. Moreover, its superior design is energy-efficient, so batteries can last months. Crystal Ear is now available to help these people treat their heating loss with a small hearing amplifier (放大器).
Initially the writer did not want to buy a hearing aid because ______.
A．it would make him look old
B．it would make him nervous
C．it was too expensive
D．it was old-styled
Upon learning this news, Nancy and I had to decide whether as private citizens we would keep this a private matter or whether we would make this news known in a public way.
In the past Nancy suffered from breast cancer and I had my cancer surgeries. We found through our open disclosures we were able to raise public awareness. We were happy that as a result many more people underwent testing.
They were treated in early stages and able to return to normal, healthy lives.
So now, we feel it is important to share it with you. In opening our hearts, we hope this might promote greater awareness of this condition. Perhaps it will encourage a clearer understanding of the individuals and families who are affected by it.
At the moment I feel just fine. I intend to live the remainder of the years God gives me on this earth doing the things I have always done. I will continue to share life's journey with my beloved Nancy and my family. I plan to enjoy the great outdoors and stay in touch with my friends and supporters.
Nowadays air pollution is something that we hardly question any more. However, I still can't walk down the streets in any of the big city without thinking that people are suffering from the air pollution. It is time for the government departments the world over to introduce emission controls on all cars and improve the public transport system to encourage people to leave their cars at home. A friend of mine takes flying lessons each morning and it really makes him sick when he climbs above the smog layer and looks down into it and thinks: "I'm breathing that!" This kind of pollution results from the bad management of resources. Waste things can, and should, be treated properly. House building, road construction and industrial development are all earthmoving operations and can change the balances of life created over millions of years. I would like to see serious studies done on all these main works before they are built. Also, there should be more national parks set up to keep the most beautiful parts of our countries in their natural states.
