Music is one of the most beautiful languages in the world. Through music, the musicians tell the stories and express their feelings.

Among the Chinese folk music, the pieces of music played on erhu are especially moving. The piece named Erquan Yingyue (Moon Reflected on Second Spring) is one of them. 1. When people listen to this piece of music, they can sense both the beauty and the sadness in it.

The music was written by Abing, a folk musician who was born in the city of Wuxi in 1893. 2. 阿炳的音乐技巧让他非常受欢迎。 By the end of his life, he could play over 600 pieces of music.

24、”How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people greet each other in the USA. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question.

It’s a question that often doesn’t have an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”.

Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks, “Do you agree?” the other person might think, “No, I disagree. I think you’re wrong…” But it isn’t very polite to disagree strongly, so the other person might say, “I’m not sure…”. It’s a nice to say that you don’t agree with someone.

People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says “I have to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up gives excuses, “Someone is at the door.” “Something is burning on the stove (炉子).” The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk anymore, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person.

When people are greeting each other or talking about an idea, they don’t say exactly what they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s also part of the game of language.

【1】When a person in the United States asks “How are you?”, he or she wants to hear “________”.

A．How are you?

B．Hello!

C．I don’t know.

D．Fine.

【2】A polite way to finish a talk is to say “________”.

A．You have to go now.

B．I want to hang up.

C．I have to go now.

D．I don’t want to talk anymore.

【3】The rule of the game of language is probably “________”.

A．Always say what you mean.

B．Don’t disagree with people.

C．Say exactly what you are thinking sometimes.

D．Be polite.

26、

We might usually see this scene in science fiction or movies: people are traveling between cities in tubes. The tube trains are even faster than planes, and people arrive at their destinations in minutes. Well, one big step was taken to make this happen.

On May 11, 2018, the first open air test of the propulsion system (推进系统) for a tube train, which is called the Hyperloop, took place in the Nevada desert, US. The system went from 0 to 169 kilometers per hour in slightly over a second.

But this isn’t the final goal. Elon Musk, founder of the US space company Space X, first had the idea for the Hyperloop in 2013. He wants passengers to travel in low-pressure tubes, propelled (推进) by magnets (磁铁), at a speed of around 1,200 kilometers per hour. The average speed of Boeing airplanes is 800 to 1,100 kilometers per hour.

Musk calls the Hyperloop the fifth main kind of transportation for humans, after ships, cars, trains and planes. According to him, the Hyperloop is safe, produces fewer greenhouse gases and can work in any weather.

But right now, Hyperloop One is still far away from its final product. One major problem about making the inter-city Hyperloop a reality is that it could cost too much. “They’re up against airlines, and airlines don’t need to build hundreds of miles of tubes,” said Jose Gomez-Ibanez, a professor of urban planning at Harvard University, US. So we will have to wait and see.

【1】The underlined word “destinations” means “______”.

A．a place to arrive

B．a place to set out

C．a place to stop

D．a place to continue

【2】Elon Musk first had the idea for the Hyperloop ______.

A．in 2015

B．in 2014

C．in 2013

D．in 2012

【3】______ is the fourth main kind of transportation.

A．The ship

B．The car

C．The plane

D．The Hyperloop

【4】Which of the following is NOT true about the Hyperloop?

A．It is safe.

B．It can produce fewer greenhouse gases.

C．It can work in any weather.

D．Its highest speed is 1,000 kilometers per hour.

【5】One of the shortcomings (缺点) of the inter-city Hyperloop is that ______.

A．its speed is too slow

B．it costs too much money

C．it isn’t as safe as the plane

D．it can’t carry too many passengers

27、When the great library of Alexandria burned, the story goes, one book was saved. But it was not a valuable book; and so a poor man bought it for a few coppers（铜钱）.Between its pages there was something very interesting. It was a thin paper on which was written the secret of the “Touchstone”!

The touchstone was a small pebble（卵石）that could turn any common metal into gold. The writing explained that it was lying among thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it. But the secret was this: The real stone would feel warm, while ordinary pebbles were cold.

So the man camped on the seashore and began testing pebbles.

He thought that if he picked up ordinary pebbles and put them down again, he might pick up the same pebble hundreds of times. So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea. He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone.

The days became weeks and the weeks into months. One day, however, he picked up a pebble and it was warm. He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done. He had formed such a strong habit of throwing each pebble into the sea .So when the one he wanted came along, he still threw it away.

So it is with opportunity. Unless we are careful, it’s easy to fail to know an opportunity when it is in hand and it’s just as easy to throw it away.

【1】The book was special to the man because ______.

A. it was made of cotton

B. it was the only book that was saved from the great fire

C. it was a story about how to tell the touchstone from ordinary stones

D. it included the secret of the touchstone

【2】The man threw pebbles into the sea ______.

A. to test how far he could throw

B. to practice throwing pebbles

C. to avoid picking up the same pebble once again

D. to express his disappointment at failing to find the touchstone

【3】The story is written mainly to tell us that___________.

A. careful habits can lead to success.

B. habits can benefit you but also hold you back.

C. never judge a person or a thing by appearances.

D. opportunity only visits the ready and watchful mind
