How to Listen to a Foreign Broadcast?
Listening to a radio broadcast in a foreign language is difficult for many of us. We may have studied the language for several years, and are able to read it, maybe even write in it. But listening and understanding the spoken language needs special
skills. Some people have a natural ability(能力)that helps them to learn language quickly. Others must study for a long time. Everyone, however, can improve his or her listening skills with practice.
We are good listeners for our own language because we have had years of practice. We understand the grammar and words. We also understand the cultural style(文化风格) of our language. We know what to expect a person to say in almost any situation. We have been in the similar situation many times, and we can understand it , even if we do not listen carefully. But this is not true with a foreign language. We must listen with our full attention. And we must try not to let cultural style of our own language affect our understanding of the foreign language.
Listening to a foreign broadcast is easier if we know something about it. There are clues(线索) that can help us. One clue is the time of day. Morning programs usually contain many short pieces of news, information or interesting programs for pleasure. All these are short because most of us are getting ready to go to work in the morning. Often we do not have time to listen to long programs. Evening programs are different. There is time for more details(细节)about the subjects discussed. 1. The passage is maybe a part of _______ . A.

Americans can travel almost anywhere they choose. But to protect its people, the government lists a few dangerous places where Americans cannot go. These places are unfriendly countries or countries at war. There, the traveller might not be safe. These countries are listed in a small book called a passport(护照) for travelling people.
It is also a government's pledge (保证)that the people will obey the rules of the host country(东道国).
To receive a passport from the government, a traveller must prove that he is an American citizen. An American can not go overseas(海外) without a passport. Only certain close countries such as Canada and Mexico do not ask for passports.

(201*·河南五校联考)
The poor are very wonderful people. One evening we went out and we picked up four people from the street. And one of them was in a most terrible condition—and I told the sisters: You take care of the other three. I take care of this one who looked worse. So I did for her all that my love can do. I put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand as she said just the words “Thank you〞 and she died.
I could not help but examine my conscience before her and I asked what I would say if I was in her place. And my answer was very simple. I would have tried to draw a little attention to myself. I would have said I am hungry, I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something, but she gave me much more—she gave me her grateful love. And she died with a smile on her face. So did that man whom we picked up from the drain, half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home. “I have lived like an animal in the street, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for，〞 he said at the end. And it was so wonderful to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without blaming anybody, without cursing anybody, without comparing anything. Like an angel—this is the greatness of our people. And that is why we believe what Jesus has said: I was hungry, I was naked, I was homeless, I was unwanted, unloved, uncared for, and you did it to me.
And with this prize that I received as a Prize of Peace, I am going to try to make the home for many people who have no home. Because I believe that love begins at home and if we can create a home for the poor I think that more and more love will spread. And we will be able through this understanding love to bring peace, the good news to the poor, the poor in our own family first, in our country and in the world. When I pick up a person from the street, hungry and I give him a plate of rice or a piece of bread, I am satisfied. I have removed that hunger. But to a person who is shut out, who feels unwanted, unloved, terrified, who has been thrown out from society, that poverty is so full of hurt and so unbearable... And so let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally we want to do something.

(201*·海淀期中)
Habits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on autopilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. “Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting creatures.〞 William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. In the everchanging 21st century, even the word “habit〞 carries a negative meaning.
So it seems contradictory to talk about habits in the same context as innovation (创新). But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks.
Rather than dismissing ourselves as unchangeable creatures of habit, we can instead direct our own change by consciously developing new habits. In fact, the more new things we try, the more creative we become.
But don't bother trying to kill off old habits; once those ruts of procedure are worn into the brain, they're there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberately press into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads.
“The first thing needed for innovation is attraction to wonder，〞 says Dawna Markova, author of The Open Mind. “But we are taught instead to ‘decide’， just as our president calls himself ‘the Decider’．〞 She adds, “however to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities.〞
“All of us work through problems in ways of which we're unaware，〞 she says. Researchers in the late 1960s discovered that humans are born with the ability to approach challenges in four primary ways : analytically, procedurally, collaboratively (合作地) and innovatively. At the end of adolescence, however, the brain shuts down half of that ability, preserving only those ways of thought that
have seemed most valuable during the first decade or so of life.
The current emphasis on standardized testing highlights analysis and procedure, meaning that few of us use our innovative and collaborative ways of thought. “This breaks the major rule in the American belief system that anyone can do anything，〞 explains M. J. Ryan, author of the 2021 book This Year I Will... and Ms Markova's business partner. “That's a lie that we have preserved, and it fosters commonness. Knowing what you're good at and doing even more of it create excellence.〞 This is where developing new habits comes in.
1. Brain researchers have discovered that ________. A. the forming of new habits can be guided B. the development of habits can be predicted C. the regulation of old habits can be transformed D. the track of new habits can be created unconsciously
2. The underlined word “ruts〞 in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________.
A. zones B. connections C. situations D. tracks
3. Which of the following statements most probably agrees with Dawna Markova's view?
A. Decision makes no sense in choices. B. Curiosity makes creative minds active. C. Creative ideas are born of a relaxing mind. D. Formation of innovation comes from fantastic ideas.
4. The purpose of the author writing this article is to persuade us ________. A. to give up our traditional habits deliberately B. to create and develop new habits consciously C. to resist the application of standardized testing
D. to believe that old habits conflict with new habits 答案与解析：
1．A 细节理解题。结合文章第二段和第三段可知，新习惯的养成可以通过大脑有意识的指导进行。注意选项中的guide和第三段中的direct是同义词。
2．D 词义猜想题。结合文章第四段的第一句话和第二段的最后一句可知，这里指的正是习惯的轨迹，由此可见该词和track同义。
3．B 细节理解题。文章第五段引用Dawna Markova的话中，第一句话The first thing needed for innovation is attraction to wonder是其观点的概括，由此可以看出B项和其意思相近。
4．B 推理判断题。文章通过介绍新的研究发现告诉我们，新的习惯可以通过大脑有意识的指导养成，又告诉了我们如何有意识地养成新的习惯，由此看出，本文的写作目的是想说服我们有意识地养成一些新的好习惯。
