解析：[听力原文]
California continues to suffer under a historic drought. The state has received very little rainfall over the past four years. California is famous for its huge sequoia trees. They are among the largest and oldest living things on Earth. But scientists say the trees are suffering because of the lack of water.
Now the National Park Service is studying how the drought has affected the sequoias and what can be done to help them survive. Researchers are using scientific equipment in the tree canopies to help measure air temperature and humidity levels. They also are studying sequoia seedlings, information from individual trees and images collected by aircraft to measure the seriousness of the danger. One possible solution would be to cut down less important tree species because other plants compete with the sequoias for water. Scientists say the sequoias will probably survive this drought, unlike many other California trees.
What is the problem of California?

A.The food is wasted during transportation.
B.People there eat everything they buy.
C.Half of the food purchased is thrown away. √
D.All of the food is wasted.
解析：[听力原文]
Up to half of the food the world produces is never eaten. It is instead thrown away. Experts say food is wasted in both rich and poor countries, but for different reasons.
In poor countries, food is usually lost while it is still in the field or during storage and transportation. That is because food producers there are inefficient. These businesses are unable to operate effectively without wasting materials, time or energy. Once food is sold in developing countries, people usually eat everything they buy. However, people in t
he United States and other developed countries throw away as much as half of the food they purchase. The British researcher called this custom "a disgrace." One way to solve the problem of wasted food is to take steps to persuade people to stop buying so much food in the first place.
What do we know about food in developed countries?

A.Rescue dogs are humans' good friends.
B.Rescue dogs help people during disasters. √
C.People should be kind to their dogs.
D.People always get help from their dogs.
解析：[听力原文]
When devastating earthquakes hit Haiti, Japan and Nepal, rescue dogs were among the first to arrive. American search-and-rescue teams and their specially trained dogs also helped during the US Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy.
Ron Sanders and his 6-year-old Labrador, Pryse, were part of a US team to help find survivors in Nepal. Sanders, a retired firefighter, says Pryse and the other special canines are essential to the team. The dogs obviously have a wonderful sense of smell. So they can quickly determine where the scent is coming from and hone in on that location that we need to dig down. The dogs can also navigate quickly through collapsed buildings and squeeze through tight spots to find victims. For the dogs, the job is a fun and playful adventure. They want to go find that person, to play with that person. But becoming a rescue dog is a serious business. To become certified, the dogs train long and hard for six to twelve months. What helps them get there is lots of practice.

民族节日习俗解析：[听力原文]
W: Teaching is a whole new ball of wax for me. I'm not sure how I should approach my subject.
M: I know how you're feeling. I felt the same way when I first started teaching. You are teaching history, aren't you?
W: Yes. I want my students to learn the subject, but I would also like them to enjoy the process. How do I do that? I know I had teachers in the past that were boring and all I did was go to sleep. I had others that made the subject live for me. Looking back now, I'm not sure how they did it.
M: I think you will find that those teachers whose classes you enjoyed were those who loved the subject they were teaching.
W: You're right. I remember Mr. Donner, my accounting teacher. I was sure that was going to be the most boring class of the year but it wasn't. He came to the classroom in the first day and told us, "You are here because you have to be here. I'm here because I love it!"
M: That's what I mean. If the teacher really enjoys the process of teaching, the students will most likely enjoy the class and learn more.
W: I really do enjoy history, so I guess I should just relax and help the students enjoy it.
M: It helps to have a comfortable physical environment, but the most important thing is to have a mentally stimulating environment. It doesn't hurt to tell a joke or two to get the students in a relaxed and interested frame of mind.
