Since the 1940s, southern California has had a reputation for smog. Things are not asbad as they once were but, according to the American Lung Association, Los Angeles isstill the worst city in the United States for levels of 26 . Gazing down on the city from theGetty Center, an art museum in the Santa Monica Mountains, one would find the view ofthe Pacific Ocean blurred by the haze (霾). Nor is the state's bad air 27 to its south. Fresno, in the central valley, comes top of the list in America for year-round pollution. Residents' hearts and lungs are affected as a 28 . All of which, combined withCalifornia's reputation as the home of technological 29 , makes the place ideal fordeveloping and testing systems designed to monitor pollution in 30 . And that is justwhat Aclima, a new firm in San Francisco, has been doing over the past few months. Ithas been trying out monitoring stations that are 31 to yield minute-to-minute maps of32 air pollution. Such stations will also be able to keep an eye on what is happeninginside buildings, including offices.
To this end, Aclima has been 33 with Google's Street View system. Davida Herzl, Aclima'sboss, says they have revealed pollution highs on days when San Francisco's transitworkers went on strike and the city's 34 were forced to use their cars. Conversely, "cycleto work" days have done their job by 35 pollution lows.

As Tourists Crowd Out Locals, Venice Faces 'Endangered' List
A) On a recent fall morning, a large crowd blocked the steps at one of Venice's maintourist sites, the Rialto Bridge. The Rialto Bridge is one of the four bridges spanning theGrand Canal. It is the oldest bridge across the canal, and was the dividing line betweenthe districts of San Marco and San Polo. But on this day, there was a twist: it was filledwith Venetians, not tourists.
B) "People are cheering and holding their carts in the air," says Giovanni Giorgio, whohelped organize the march with a grass-roots organization called Generazione '90. Thecarts he refers to are small shopping carts—the symbol of a true Venetian. "It started asa joke," he says with a laugh. "The idea was to put blades on the wheels! You know? LikeBen Hur. Precisely like that, you just go around and run people down."
C) Venice is one of the hottest tourist destinations in the world. But that's a problem. Upto 90,000 tourists crowd its streets and canals every day—far outnumbering the 55,000 permanent residents. The tourist increase is one key reason the city's population isdown from 175,000 in the 1950s. The outnumbered Venetians have been steadilyfleeing. And those who stick around are tired of living in a place where they can't evenget to the market without swimming through a sea of picture-snapping tourists. Imagine, navigating through 50,000 people while on the way to school or to work.
D) Laura Chigi, a grandmother at the march, says the local and national governmentshave failed to do anything about the crowds for decades, because they're only interestedin tourism—the primary industry in Venice, worth more than $3 billion in 2015. "Veniceis a cash cow," she says, "and everyone wants a piece."
E) Just beyond St. Mark's Square, a cruise ship passes, one of hundreds every year thatappear over their medieval (中世纪的) surroundings. Their massive wake creates wavesat the bottom of the sea, weakening the foundations of the centuries-old buildingsthemselves. "Every time I see a cruise ship, I feel sad," Chigi says. "You see the mud itdrags; the destruction it leaves in its wake? That hurts the ancient wooden polesholding up the city underwater. One day we'll see Venice break down."
F) For a time, UNESCO, the cultural wing of the United Nations, seemed to agree. Twoyears ago, it put Italy on notice, saying the government was not protecting Venice. UNESCO considers the entire city a World Heritage Site, a great honor that meansVenice, at the cultural level, belongs to all of the world's people. In 2014, UNESCO gaveItaly two years to manage Venice's flourishing tourism or the city would be placed onanother list—World Heritage In Danger, joining such sites as Aleppo and Palmyra, destroyed by the war in Syria.
G) Venice's deadline passed with barely a murmur (嘟哝) this summer, just as UNESCOwas meeting in Istanbul. Only one representative, Jad Tabet from Lebanon, tried toraise the issue. "For several years, the situation of heritage in Venice has beenworsening, and it has now reached a dramatic situation," Tabet told UNESCO. "We haveto act quickly—there is not a moment to waste."
H) But UNESCO didn't even hold a vote. "It's been postponed until 2017," says AnnaSomers, the founder and CEO of The Art Newspaper and the former head of Venice inPeril, a group devoted to restoring Venetian art. She says the main reason the U.N. cultural organization didn't vote to declare Venice a World Heritage Site In Danger isbecause UNESCO has become "intensely politicized. There would have been some back-room negotiations."
I) Italy boasts more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than any other country in the world, granting it considerable power and influence within the organization. The former headof the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, which oversees heritage sites, is FrancescoBandarin, a Venetian who now serves as UNESCO's assistant director-general forculture.
J) Earlier this year, Italy signed an accord with UNESCO to establish a task force ofpolice art detectives and archaeologists (考古学家) to protect cultural heritage fromnatural disasters and terror groups, such as ISIS. The accord underlined Italy's globalreputation as a good steward of art and culture.
K) But adding Venice to the UNESCO endangered list—which is dominated by sites indeveloping and conflict-ridden countries—would be an international embarrassment, and could even hurt Italy's profitable tourism industry. The Italian Culture Ministry saysit is unaware of any government efforts to pressure UNESCO. As for the organizationitself, it declined a request for an interview.
L) The city's current mayor, Luigi Brugnaro, has ridiculed UNESCO and told it to mind itsown business, while continuing to support the cruise ship industry, which employs 5,000 Venice residents.
M) As for Venetians, they're beyond frustrated and hoping for a solution soon. "It's anightmare for me. Some situations are really difficult with tourists around," says Giorgioas he navigates around a swelling crowd at the Rialto Bridge. "There are just so many ofthem. They never know where they are going, and do not walk in an orderly manner. Navigating the streets can be exhausting."
N) Then it hits him: This crowd isn't made up of tourists. They're Venetians. Giorgio sayshe's never experienced the Rialto Bridge this way in all his 22 years. "For once, we arethe ones who are blocking the traffic," he says delightedly. "It feels unreal. It feels likewe're some form of endangered species. It's just nice. The feeling is just pure." But, heworries, if tourism isn't managed and his fellow locals continue to move to the mainland, his generation might be the last who can call themselves native Venetians.
36. The passing cruise ships will undermine the foundations of the ancient buildings inVenice.
37. The Italian government has just reached an agreement with UNESCO to takemeasures to protect its cultural heritage.
38. The heritage situation in Venice has been deteriorating in the past few years.
39. The decrease in the number of permanent residents in Venice is mainly due to theincrease of tourists.
40. If tourism gets out of control, native Venetians may desert the city altogether oneday.
41. UNESCO urged the Italian government to undertake its responsibility to protectVenice.
42. The participants in the Venetian march used shopping carts to show they were 100% local residents.
43. Ignoring UNESCO's warning, the mayor of Venice maintains his support of the city'stourism industry.
44. One woman says that for decades the Italian government and local authorities haveonly focused on the revenues from tourism.
45. UNESCO has not yet decided to put Venice on the list of World Heritage Sites InDanger.
Section C
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by somequestions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter onAnswer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 46 and 50 are based on the following passage.
Living in an urban area with green spaces has a long-lasting positive impact onpeople's mental well-being, a study has suggested. UK researchers found moving to agreen space had a sustained positive effect, unlike pay rises or promotions, which onlyprovided a short-term boost. Co-author Mathew White, from the University of Exeter, UK, explained that the study showed people living in greener urban areas weredisplaying fewer signs of depression or anxiety. "There could be a number of reasons," he said, "for example, people do many things to make themselves happier: they strivefor promotion or pay rises, or they get married. But the trouble with those things is thatwithin six months to a year, people are back to their original baseline levels of well-being. So, these things are not sustainable; they don't make us happy in the long term. We found that for some lottery (彩票) winners who had won more than ￡500,000 thepositive effect was definitely there, but after six months to a year, they were back to thebaseline."
Dr. White said his team wanted to see whether living in greener urban areas had alasting positive effect on people's sense of well-being or whether the effect alsodisappeared after a period of time. To do this, the team used data from the BritishHousehold Panel Survey compiled by the University of Essex.
Explaining what the data revealed, he said: "What you see is that even after three years, mental health is still better, which is unlike many other things that we think will make ushappy." He observed that people living in green spaces were less stressed, and lessstressed people made more sensible decisions and communicated better.
With a growing body of evidence establishing a link between urban green spaces and apositive impact on human well-being, Dr. White said, "There's growing interest amongpublic policy officials, but the trouble is who funds it. What we really need at a policylevel is to decide where the money will come from to help support good quality localgreen spaces."
46. According to one study, what do green spaces do to people?
A) Improve their work efficiency.
B) Add to their sustained happiness.
C) Help them build a positive attitude towards life.
D) Lessen their concerns about material well-being.
47. What does Dr. White say people usually do to make themselves happier?
A) Earn more money.
B) Settle in an urban area.
C) Gain fame and popularity.
D) Live in a green environment.
48. What does Dr. White try to find out about living in a greener urban area?
A) How it affects different people.
B) How strong its positive effect is.
C) How long its positive effect lasts.
D) How it benefits people physically.
49. What did Dr. White's research reveal about people living in a green environment?
A) Their stress was more apparent than real.
B) Their decisions required less deliberation.
C) Their memories were greatly strengthened.
D) Their communication with others improved.
50. According to Dr. White, what should the government do to build more green spacesin cities?
A) Find financial support.
B) Improve urban planning.
C) Involve local residents in the effort.
D) Raise public awareness of the issue.
Passage Two
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.
You probably know about the Titanic, but it was actually just one of three state-of-the-art(先进的) ocean ships back in the day. The Olympic class ships were built by the Harland& Wolff ship makers in Northern Ireland for the White Star Line company. TheOlympic class included the Olympic, the Britannic and the Titanic. What you may notknow is that the Titanic wasn't even the flagship of this class. All in all, the Olympic classships were marvels of sea engineering, but they seemed cursed to suffer disastrousfates.
The Olympic launched first in 1910, followed by the Titanic in 1911, and lastly theBritannic in 1914. The ships had nine decks, and White Star Line decided to focus onmaking them the most luxurious ships on the water.
Stretching 269.13 meters, the Olympic class ships were wonders of naval technology, and everyone thought that they would continue to be so for quite some time. However, all suffered terrible accidents on the open seas. The Olympic got wrecked before theTitanic did, but it was the only one to survive and maintain a successful career of 24 years. The Titanic was the first to sink after famously hitting a huge iceberg in 1912. Following this disaster, the Britannic hit a naval mine in 1916 and subsequently sank aswell.
Each ship was coal-powered by several boilers constantly kept running by exhaustedcrews below deck. Most recognizable of the ship designs are the ship's smoke stacks, but the fourth stack was actually just artistic in nature and served no functionalpurpose. While two of these ships sank, they were all designed with double hulls (船体) believed to make them "unsinkable", perhaps a mistaken idea that led to the Titanic'sand the Britannic's tragic end.
The Olympic suffered two crashes with other ships and went on to serve as a hospitalship and troop transport in World War I. Eventually, she was taken out of service in1935, ending the era of the luxurious Olympic class ocean liners.
51. What does the passage say about the three Olympic class ships?
A) They performed marvellously on the sea.
B) They could all break the ice in their way.
C) They all experienced terrible misfortunes.
D) They were models of modern engineering.
52. What did White Star Line have in mind when it purchased the three ships?
A) Their capacity of sailing across all waters.
B) The utmost comfort passengers could enjoy.
C) Their ability to survive disasters of any kind.
D) The long voyages they were able to undertake.
53. What is said about the fourth stack of the ships?
A) It was a mere piece of decoration.
B) It was the work of a famous artist.
C) It was designed to let out extra smoke.
D) It was easily identifiable from afar.
54. What might have led to the tragic end of the Titanic and the Britannic?
A) Their unscientific designs.
B) Their captains' misjudgment.
C) The assumption that they were built with the latest technology.
D) The belief that they could never sink with a double-layer body.
55. What happened to the ship Olympic in the end?

如何备考英语四级
一、背单词，打基础(1-3月)
词汇是英文的基础，备战四级，背单词是基本，积累了一定的词汇量，临战上场才更胸有成竹。我们可以先花3个月时间积累词汇，现在就可以买一本四级词汇书，制定一份计划，每天坚持背一定的单词，系统、集中地复习。
二、分项练习，各个击破(4月)
经过3个月的单词背诵，我们已经积累了足够的词汇量，个人的心态也调整到了备考状态。4月份，我们要针对四级考试的4大题型：听力、作文、阅读、翻译进行集中训练。这时候可以多做一些章节练习、模拟卷，分项强化。
听力：作为考试中的个模块，听力做的好坏大体决定了你整套试卷的成败，所以一定要高度重视。后一个月的关键期，大家要明确一点，要想提高听力，不在于听的多，而在于听的精。要做到对常考对话熟练于胸!练习一篇听力要练到能听出来所有的词汇为止，只有这样才能提高考场上的反应能力，真正听明白词义和句义。每天花1个小时来听听力，听力素材可以选择VOA及历年四级真题听力。刚开始可以从VOA的慢速英语听起，先听一段时间，进而慢慢过渡到常速英语。
阅读：阅读理解是我们准备的重中之重，相信大家之前也已经做过了不少套题，所以在考前需要把你做过的阅读中出错的部分再重新复习一下，看是词汇语法上的问题，还是解题思路上的问题，把这些出错点谨记于胸，以防考场上再出错。掌握足够的词汇量，学会分析重难点句子的句式结构和逻辑，一篇文章可以泛读、精读过两遍，习惯西方人的思维方式，掌握出题规律。
翻译：很多同学不是太重视四级的翻译，认为即使提前准备也不会有太大提高，其实不然。四六级的翻译也是可以快速提分的，因为其考察内容有很多重复的地方，比如：词汇，句式结构，文章题材。去年12月的四级就考察了：中餐，中国结，茶文化等中国传统文化的相关内容，很多词语是相通的;同一句式结构会反复考察，比如not only...but also...。所以说提前准备是可以复习到常考词汇和句式的，也可以在短期内获得提高。当然最重要的是平时多积累词汇、语法知识，多读多写多做积累，培养英文的敏感性。
作文：作文是一定要背的，大家必须积累一些常见的词汇短语，背诵一些好用的句型搭配，这样才能在考场上顺畅的表达出作文内容。另外还要注意作文的形式，段落要清晰，分层要明确，方便阅卷老师快速抓住作文的主题和段落的主题。最后切记：卷面整洁!
三、真题训练(5月)
在完成分项练习、模拟卷后需要专门练习近10年或是5年的真题，模拟考场的紧张氛围，计时考试。
因为真题囊括了历年考试考过的内容，权威性和规范性非常高。练习历年真题，能帮助考生透析考试重点、掌握命题规律!
四、查漏补缺(6月)
离考试只有10多天，此时我们需要对自己掌握的知识点进行查漏补缺，总结以前做过的真题、练习题、模拟题中遇到的错题，检测自己的薄弱环节，进行重点突击。
