【题目】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 tested and they believe that floating citied 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.”

【1】DeltaSync is a company that wants to build cities _______．

A．on land B．in space

C．on the sea D．in the desert

【2】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.

【3】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.

【4】What is the best title 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?

【题目】 Luggage may not be brought into the building ________ a guard has checked it first.

A. when B. because C. after D. unless

【题目】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 Fenimore Looper. 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.

【1】How many explanations are mentioned about the phrase “to face the music” in the passage?

A．1. B．2. C．3. D．4.

【2】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.

【3】Which of the following occasions is the one we may have to face the music?

p>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.

【4】The underlined word “hostile” in the third paragraph means ______.

A.unfriendly B．dislike

C．unkind D．Unnecessary
