　　Donald Gould, a homeless man, was seen playing a moving cover of Styx’s “Come Sail Away” on a public piano that was placed in Sarasota, Florida, as part of the city’s Sarasota Keys Piano Project. The moving performance was caught on camera and uploaded to Facebook where it went viral with more than 2.3 million views and over 93,000 shares.

　　Gould’s newfound viral fame has certainly come as a shock to the 51-year-old. “I was thinking I could just put my hat on the piano and make a couple dollars and get tips,” Gould said. “I didn’t expect it to jump out to this.”

　　The 51-year-old, who’s affectionately known as “Boone” to the community, turns out to be a regular on the keys and runs through five songs a day for the public from Billy Joel’s “Piano Man” to Bach’s “Toccata.”

　　Gould’s piano-playing has delighted people in Sarasota and now the Internet. But there’s a heartbreaking story behind the musician. He first lost his job and then lost his wife and son in 1998. He ended up in Sarasota and began playing music with Paul Lonardo, another musician.

　　Now, things may be looking up for Gould. Someone who saw the video reached out to local restaurant Surf Shack, which offered to allow the 51-year-old try out for a position as a possible actor for their bar.

　　Others have also wowed us with their musical performances. A homeless man named Ryan shocked people last year with a beautiful performance on an outdoor public piano in Canada. Similarly, David Allen, another homeless man, shocked people with some wonderful piano playing on a thrift store piano, even moving one listener to tears.

　　“He started to play, and I choked on my coffee and it started coming out of my nose,” listener James Maynard said. “I had tears coming to my eyes when I saw his fingers go down one end of the piano to the other.”

　　【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文，介绍了一个无家可归的人——唐纳德•古尔德。他在公共钢琴上的即兴演出被传到网上后点击率超过2百多万，而且还被分享9万多次，轰动一时。

　　21. What can we know about Donald Gould?]

　　A. He uploaded his performance to Facebook.

　　B. He teamed up with David Allen to give performances.

　　C. His performance enjoyed wide popularity on the Internet.

　　D. Donald Gould will live a happy life with his wife and son.

　　22. Donald Gould performed on the public piano in order to _______.

　　A. gain fame and fortune

　　B. earn some extra money

　　C. look back on the old good days

　　D. relax himself and entertain others

　　B 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“I was thinking I could just put my hat on the piano and make a couple dollars and get tips”可知，他演出的目的是为了挣点钱，故选B。

　　23. The underlined word “wowed” in Paragraph 6 can be replaced by _______.

　　A. exchanged

　　B. armed

　　C. shocked

　　D. linked

　　C词义猜测题。根据后面作者列举的两个例子可知很多其他的流浪汉也能演奏出优美的音乐，这让人们非常震惊，故选C。

　　24. Who was moved to tears when listening to piano playing?

　　A. James Maynard.

　　B. Donald Gould. C. David Allen. D. Paul Lonardo.

　　A细节理解题。根据文章末段可知James Maynard在听音乐时被感动得流泪了，故选A。

　　B

　　What would it be like to live on Mars? Volunteers are spending eight months in an area that looks much like the surface of Mars. They are isolated high on top of Mauna Loa, a volcanic mountain on the Big Island of Hawaii, living on a simulated, or make-believe, Mars Base.

　　The project called HI-SEAS is in the charge of Kim Binsted. She says this wild environment is as close to Mars as you can find on Earth. Because it is so high, the land is not warm or rich with plants, like the rest of Hawaii.

　　“You will see there is really no visible plant life or animal life. And you have got this wonderful volcanic material.”

　　Mauna Loa, 2,500 meters above sea level, is geologically very similar to Olympus Mons on Mars and almost as tall as that Martian mountain. When measured from its base, deep in the ocean, Mauna Loa is the second largest mountain in our solar system, after the one on Mars.

　　The six member HI-SEAS crew is mostly self-sufficient. Food and supplies are brought to them. But the individuals bringing those supplies cannot communicate with volunteers inside the habitat, or base.

　　Kim Binsted says this experiment looks at how the astronauts interact, or get along with each other. “We study how well they work together, how we can keep them happy and supported, and not wanting to kill each other over these long durations.”

　　Crew members communicate with the outside world through e-mail and blogs. They also produce videos on the YouTube website, like this one from mission commander Martha Lenio.

　　“I am really enjoying this opportunity to live in this dome and pretend that I’m on Mars and get to learn all sorts of new skills.” one of them said.

　　Whoever gets there first, the trip will not be easy, says Kim Binsted.

　　“It is going to be challenging.”

　　【文章大意】人类一直以来都梦想着去探索火星，现在在美国宇航局开展的一项活动中，六名志愿者正在夏威夷体验长达八个月时间的模拟火星环境的生活。

　　25. What do we know about Olympus Mons?

　　A. It is 2,500 meters above sea level.

　　B. It is geologically similar to Mauna, Loa.

　　C. It is the second largest mountain on the earth.

　　D. It is a mountain on the Big Island of Hawaii.

　　B 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“Mauna Loa, 2,500 meters above sea level, is geologically very similar to Olympus Mons on Mars”可知答案选B。

　　26. What is the purpose of the experiment?

　　A. To set up a space station.

　　B. To explore new settlement for human.

　　C. To study how the astronauts treat each other.

　　D. To prove human can live in whatever conditions.

　　27. How can crew members keep in touch with the outside world?

　　A. By Internet.

　　B. By telephone.

　　C. By letter.

　　D. By fax.

　　A细节理解题。根据倒数第三段的内容可知他们通过网络和外界保持联系，选A。

　　28. Which can be the best title for the text?

　　A. Volunteers First Explore Mars

　　B. Volunteers Experience Life in Hawaii

　　C. Volunteers Get Taste of Mars in Hawaii

　　D. Volunteers Study the Environment on Mars

　　People are being attracted to Facebook with the promise of a fun, free service without realizing they’re paying for it by giving up large amounts of personal information. Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data to advertisers that want to send targeted messages.

　　Most Facebook users don’t realize this is happening. Even if they know what the company is up to, they still have no idea what they’re paying for Facebook because people don’t really know what their personal information is worth.

　　The biggest problem, however, is that the company keeps changing the rules. Early on, you keep everything private. That was the great thing about Facebook—you could create your own little private network. Last year, the company changed its privacy rules so that many things—your city, your photo, your friends’ names—were set, by default (默认) to be shared with everyone on the Internet.

　　According to Facebook’s vice-president Elliot Schrage, the company is simply making changes to improve its service, and if people don’t share information, they have a “less satisfying experience”.

　　Some people think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money. Its original business model, which was about selling ads and putting them at the side of the page, totally failed. Who wants to look at ads when they’re online connecting with their friends?

　　The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington. In April, Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy. He also urged the Federal Trade Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites.

　　I think that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade our privacy is only the beginning, which is why I’m considering stopping using it. Facebook is a convenient site, but I’m upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don’t know. That’s too high a price to pay.

　　【文章大意】本文是一篇论说文，讲述了当下很受欢迎的社交网站Facebook把用户资料出售给广告商的事情。在文中作者表示考虑注销自己在脸书上的账户。

　　29. According to the text, Facebook is _______.

　　A. losing more customers

　　B. becoming a more useful site

　　C. improving its service gradually

　　D. stealing and selling users’ information

　　30. At the beginning Facebook’s business model includes selling _______.

　　A. its service
