A. Choose the best answer （根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案）
Hyperloop: the train of the future?
We’re going through the Nevada desert, north of Las Vegas, for having a look at what its supporters believe is the future of transport.
This is Hyperloop - an attempt to send passengers rushing at 700 miles an hour through a vacuum tube.
Many think that’s impossible, but this project came back last year of virgin America Inc. with Sir Richard Branson becoming chari-man. In this 500-metre test track, they say they have shown that the technology works, though they’ve not yet put any human beings on board.
The head of engineering, a space scientist from NASA, sees no reason why people might be frightened.
Anita Sengupta, Head of Engineering, Virgin Hyperloop One
“The Hyperloop is a maglev train in a vacuum system. And so you can also think of it as an aircraft flying at 200,000 feet high so people don’t have any problem flying in aeroplanes and people don’t have any problem going in maglev trains. This is simply joining the two and allows you to be more energy - saving.”
The Virgin Hyperloop team have said they could take passengers from London to Edinburgh in 50 minutes or cut the journey between. New York and Boston to under half an hour.
Did you know?
The word ‘maglev’ is a combination （结合）of the words ‘magnetic’ and ‘levitation’. This is because the system uses magnets to levitate（使浮起）the train. This reduces friction（摩擦力）-- the force that makes it difficult for things to move freely when they are touching each other -- and increases speed. The first maglev train operated in Hamburg, Germany in 1979.
69. You are likely to see Hyperloop in ________.
A. City of Las Vegas B. Nevada Desert C. NASA Base D. Hamburg, Germany
70. Hyperloop didn’t get support until ________.
A. human beings were put on board B. the vacuum tube was completed last year
C. Sir Richard Branson became chairman
D. scientists solved two problems of transport
71. The underlined word “attempt”can be replaced by “________’.
A. effect B. effort C. event D. example
72. A maglev train is fast because it can ________.
A. rise to 200,000 feet high B. rush in a vacuum tube
C. float because of the magnets D. reduce friction of the air
73. Which of the following statement is TRUE?
A. Head of the Virgin Hyperloop Team is a space scientist.
B. The first maglev train was invented in the Untied States.
C. Most people have confidence in the Hyperloop project.
D. Hyperloop has sent passengers from New York to Boston.
74. What is the Hyperloop? The Hyperloop is ________.
A. a vacuum tube testing a maglev train system
B. an aeroplane flying at 700miles an hour
C. a maglev train floating on the railway tracks
D. a maglev tain traveling in a vacuum tube
B. Choose the best answer and complete the passage （选择最恰当的选项完成短文）
Secret codes keep messages private. Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.
People have used secret codes for thousands of years. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them. Code breaking never __75__ code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography（密码系统）.
There are three main types of cryptography. You can __76__ a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out. For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels（鳗）” spell out the message “Meet me.”
Another way is to use symbols to __77__ specific letters of the alphabet. You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26., If we replace each letter with a number, the message “Meet me” would read “13, 5, 5, __78__, 13, 5.”
A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. With a code book, you might write down words that would be __79__ as other words. For example, “bridge” might refer to “meet” and “out” might mean “me.” The message “Bridge out” would have meaning of “Meet me”. It is very hard to break a code with out the code book. Actually, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. __80__, codes must be changed frequently.
75. A. goes ahead B. takes the place of C. falls behind D. depends on
76. A. send B. take C. translate D. hide
77. A. stand for B. make up C. deal with D. find out
78. A. 17 B. 18 C. 19 D. 20
79. A. explained B. misunderstood C. remembered D. acted
80. A. However B. Therefore C. In addition D. Otherwise
C. Fill in the blanks with proper words （在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给）

D. Answer the questions （根据以下内容回答问题）
I took the bus to work for many years. No one knew each other; the passengers all sat there sleepily in the morning. The bus was cheerless and silent. One of the passengers was a small gray-haired man who took the bus to the center for senior citizens. Almost no one paid very much attention to him.
One July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled. The driver nodded guardedly（小心翼翼地点头）. The rest of us were silent. The next day, the old man boarded with a big smile and said in a loud voice: “ A very good morning to you all!” Some of us looked up amazed, and murmured（低声说） “Good Morning” in reply. In the following weeks, our friend was dressed in a nice old suit and tie. He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other.
One morning he even had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver turned around smiling and asked: “Have you got yourself a girlfriend, Charlie?” We never got to know if his name really was “Charlie”, but he nodded shyly and said yes. The other passengers whistled（吹口哨）and clapped at him. Charlie waved the flowers before he sat down on his seat. Every morning after that Charlie always brought flowers. Some passengers also brought flowers for him. The bus became a happy place.
Then, one morning, as autumn was closing in, Charlie wasn’t waiting at his usual stop. When he wasn’t there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or on holiday somewhere.
When we came nearer to the center for senior citizens, one of the passengers asked the driver to wait. We all held our breaths when he went to the door. The old gentle man was fine, but one of his close friends had died over the weekend. How silent we were on the rest of the way to work!
The next Monday Charlie was waiting at the stop, bending（腰弯）a bit more, a little bit more gray, and without a tie. Inside the bus was silent. Even though no one had talked about it, all of us sat there silently, our eyes filled with tears and a bunch of wild flowers in our hands.
88. Was the small gray-haired man young or old?
89. Why did the small gray-haired man take the usual bus?
90. Why did the other passengers whistled and clapped at the man one morning?
91. What happened to Charlie one autumn morning?

93. According to the passage, what do the passengers on the bus think of Charlie? Why do they like him?
