17、 responsible for his son DDoctors may have great influence on people.BCould 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

18、 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

19、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 prob

20、lems 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 Earths surface. Their plans for

21、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 DeltaSyn

22、c says: “We have plans for neighbourhoods including roads and, in the end, I believe we can build floating cities on the sea.”25DeltaSync is a company that wants to build cities _Aon land Bin space Con the sea Din the desert26Which of the following is the advantage of the cities that DeltaSync wants

23、 to build?AProviding more jobs for people.

BHe is hopeful of them.CHe is uncertain about them.DHe has no idea about t

24、hem.28What is the besttitle for the text?AWill there be enough water? BWill sea cities save the world?CIs it possible to live in the desert? DIs it expensive to build floating cities?CLike every language, American English is full of special expressions, phrases that come from the day-to-day life of

25、the people and develop in their own way. Our expression today is “to face the music.”When someone says, “Well, I guess Ill have to face the music,” it does not mean hes 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

26、 did that, and why you didnt 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 fathers angry voice, “I want to talk to you!” and only because we did not obey him. What an unpleasa

27、nt 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

28、 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, its 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

29、 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 b

30、e, 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 fa

31、ce 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

32、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.29How many explanations are mentioned about the phrase “to face the music” in the passage?A1.B2.C3.D4.

33、30What does the phrase “to face the music” really mean?ATo face the stage.BTo face the back of the horse.CTo face ones leader or father.DTo face something far less pleasant.31Which of the following occasions is the one we may have to face the music?AWhen we are playing basketball in the playground.B

34、When we are making a speech before a lot of people.CWhen we are having a party at ease with our teachers.DWhen we are talking with somebody in secret.32The underlined word “hostile” in the third paragraph means _. AunfriendlyBdislikeCunkindDunnecessaryD.Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg recently surp

35、rised 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, Zuckerbergs talk

36、 raises a question: Is Chinese the language of the future? Could it replace English as the worlds international language?Chinese will grow in importance, especially for people who want to work and do business in China. But I dont think Chinese will replace English any time soon.American movies, musi

37、c, television, video games have wider audiences, which is one reason for Englishs popularity as a foreign language. So far Chinas success in this aspect has been very limited. Chinese films, Chinese television shows and Chinese music dont have a huge following outside of China. In addition, English

38、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 Chine

39、se. 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 sa

40、me 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 mult

41、ilingual, 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. ha

42、s 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 Chinese34.Which of the following contributes to Englishs popularity as a foreign language? A. American growing economy. B. A

43、merican 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

44、English would be more popular than Chinese.第二节（5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Reading comprehension is an important skill to master for academic success.
