I am a taxi driver．One Monday morning, I had stopped at New York Hospital when I spied a well-dressed man dashing down the steps．He was waving at me．I waited until he jumped into the cab．"LaGuardia Airport, please," he said．
As always, I wondered about my passenger．“What do you do?” “I’m in the neurology department （神经内科）at this hospital．"For some unknown reason, I decided to ask for his help.
"Could I ask a favor of you?" He didn't answer．"I have a son, 16．He's doing well in school．He wants a job this summer．Is there any possibility that you might get him a summer job?" After a pause, he said, "The medical students have a research project．Maybe he could fit in．Have him send me his school records．" He searched his pocket and handed me a card．[来源:学科网]
That evening, I pulled the card from my pocket．"Robbie," I announced proudly, "this could be a summer job for you．Send him your school record." He read it out loud, "Fred Plum, New York Hospital." "Is this a joke?" he said in disbelief．After I yelled and threatened to cut off his allowance, Robbie promised to send off his grades the next morning．
Two weeks later, when I arrived home, my son handed me a letter from Plum．He was to phone Plum's secretary for an interview．
Robbie got the job．The white coat he wore made him feel more important than he really was．As high school graduation neared, Plum was kind enough to write letters of recommendation for universities．To our delight, Robbie was admitted to New York Medical College．
It never occurred to me that a stranger should transform my son's future．

B
Could cities that float (漂浮) on the sea solve the problems caused by floods and provide food for the world?
Some scientists think so. The idea is already being testedand they believe that floating cities will provide more homes for a growing population, without having to use land needed to grow food. And they believe floating areas will allow more food to be grown, so that no one in the world is hungry.
In some places, cities that float on the sea are already being planned, A company in the Netherlands called DeltaSync thinks that sea cities will save the world, with more than one in ten people living in them.
They say sea cities solve many of the problems the world faces in the 21st century, like not having enough land , more and more people needing homes, fossil fuels (矿物燃料) running low and the increasingly serious problems caused by floods.
DeltaSync says building in the desert (沙漠) is not possible because there is no enough water and that developing ways for people to live in space is still too expensive. So they believe the answer is our oceans, which cover over two thirds of the Earth’s surface. Their plans for floating areas include using algae (海藻) to produce fuel and food.
More than a quarter of the land in the Netherlands already lies underwater and scientists there have spent years trying to find ways to deal with it. In the city of Rotterdam they already have floating homes.
Bart Roeffen from DeltaSync says: “We have plans for neighbourhoods including roads and, in the end, I believe we can build floating cities on the sea.”
25．DeltaSync is a company that wants to build cities _______．
A．on land B．in space C．on the sea D．in the desert
26．Which of the following is the advantage of the cities that DeltaSync wants to build?
A．Providing more jobs for people. B．Making travel in space possible.
C．Supplying enough water to people. D．Satisfying more people’s housing needs.
27．What does Bart Roeffen think of his company’s future plans?
A．He doubts them. B．He is hopeful of them.
C．He is uncertain about them. D．He has no idea about them.
28．What is the besttitle for the text?
A．Will there be enough water? B．Will sea cities save the world?
C．Is it possible to live in the desert? D．Is it expensive to build floating cities?

C
Like every language, American English is full of special expressions, phrases that come from the day-to-day life of the people and develop in their own way. Our expression today is “to face the music.”
When someone says, “Well, I guess I’ll have to face the music,” it does not mean he’s planning to go to the concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you didn’t do this or that. Sour music indeed, but it has to be faced. At sometime or another, every one of us has had to face the music, especially as children. We can all remember father’s angry voice, “I want to talk to you!” and only because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was!
The phrase “to face the music” is familiar to every American, young and old. It is at least 100 years old. And where did this expression come from? The first explanation comes from the American novelist, James FenimoreLooper. He said, in 1851, that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage. When they got their cue (提示) to go on, they often said, “Well, it’s time to face the music.” And that is exactly what they did---facing the orchestra which was just below them. And an actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that might be friendly or perhaps hostile, especially if he forgot his lines (台词). But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So the expression “to face the music” came to mean “having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice.”
Other explanations about the expression go back to the army. When the men faced inspection by their leader, the soldiers would be worried about how well they looked. Was their equipment clean, shinny enough to pass inspection? Still the men had to go out and face the music of the band as well as the inspection. What else could they do?
Another army explanation is more closely related to the idea of facing the results and accepting the responsibility for something that should not have been done. As for example, when a man is forced out of the army because he did something terrible, he is dishonored. The band does not play. Only the drums tap a sad, slow beat. The soldier is forced to leave, facing such music as it is and facing the back of his horse.
29．How many explanations are mentioned about the phrase “to face the music” in the passage?
A．1. B．2. C．3. D．4.
30．What does the phrase “to face the music” really mean?
A．To face the stage. B．To face the back of the horse.
C．To face one’s leader or father. D．To face something far less pleasant.
31．Which of the following occasions is the one we may have to face the music?
A．When we are playing basketball in the playground.
B．When we are making a speech before a lot of people.
C．When we are having a party at ease with our teachers.
D．When we are talking with somebody in secret.
32．The underlined word “hostile” in the third paragraph means ______.
A．unfriendly B．dislike C．unkind D．unnecessary

D.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg recently surprised Chinese students when he spoke to them in Chinese. In a speech at Tsinghua University in Beijing, Zuckerberg spoke Chinese for about 30 minutes. With Chinese having the most native speakers in the world and the study of the Chinese language increasing rapidly around the world, Zuckerberg’s talk raises a question: Is Chinese the language of the future? Could it replace English as the world’s international language?
Chinese will grow in importance, especially for people who want to work and do business in China. But I don’t think Chinese will replace English any time soon.
American movies, music, television, video games have wider audiences, which is one reason for English’s popularity as a foreign language. So far China’s success in this aspect has been very limited. Chinese films, Chinese television shows and Chinese music don’t have a huge following outside of China. In addition, English is seen as a more neutral(中立的) language than Chinese. Unlike Chinese, English is not associated with one county. It is a universal language and is spoken in more than 170 counties. In 2014, China hosted the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation meeting in Beijing, China. But the meeting was not in Chinese. The official language of APEC is English.
The most important reason is that Chinese is a more difficult language to learn. It is estimated that it would take a native English speaker 2,000 hours to reach professional fluency in Chinese. That is four times longer than it would take to reach the same level in Dutch, French, or Spanish. While Chinese grammar is much simpler, Chinese has a tone and writing system that is more difficult for adult learners to master.
Last but not least, more people learn English than Chinese. A recent survey by Gallup showed that only one in four Americans is multilingual, which means only 25% of Americans can speak a foreign language besides English. For most Americans, learning a foreign language is a choice, not a necessity. China Daily has estimates that 400 million Chinese are studying English. That means China has more English learners that the U.S. has English speakers.
33. Mark Zuckerberg surprised Chinese students by __________.
A. singing Chinese songs B. wearing Chinese clothes
C. making a speech in Chinese D. speaking highly of Chinese
34.Which of the following contributes to English’s popularity as a foreign language?
A. American growing economy. B. American pop culture.
C. American freedom of speech. D. American education system.
35. What is the text mainly about?
A. The results pop culture development brings about.
B. The influence English has on the global economy.
C. The suggestions on how to master Chinese in a short time.
D. The reasons why English would be more popular than Chinese.
