26、With a growing number of people in San Francisco choosing not to own a car, German car-making company BMW has decided to branch out into car-sharing services with 70 cars spread around the city, first in 14 locations, with a further 100 being added gradually.
“This is not an A-to-A service — it is A-to-B,” says Richard Steinberg, chief executive of the DriveNow scheme (方案), pointing out that members can pick up a car downtown for the half-hour drive to the airport for only $12, compared with about $40-50 for a taxi.
Whether that is possible in real life depends on traffic, of course. A midmorning drive from Union Square down Highway 101 to the airport takes just 22 minutes; however, driving back during the rush hour takes twice as long.
Most of the cars that are stuck in San Francisco’s traffic jams are giving off all sorts of harmful gas. But not DriveNow’s BMW ActiveE cars.
“All the cars in San Francisco are electric,” Mr. Steinberg says.
In San Francisco, handing back the car to DriveNow is easy — just pick one of its drop-off points, park and walk away. There are no forms to fill in, no time-consuming rules.
Several other carmakers and other players within the motor industry are experimenting with similar schemes, for example Daimler’s Car2go scheme, which is operated in many cities around the world.
“We picture a future where car-sharing members outnumber car owners in big cities around the world,” says Car2go spokesman Andreas Leo.
Franck Leveque, from company Frost & Sullivan, agrees.
“Car sharing is growing at a pace we have not seen before,” he says. “By 2020 we believe there will be 15 million members of car-sharing schemes in Europe alone, with 140,000 vehicles in operation.”
【1】What does the underlined part “branch out into” probably mean?
A.Start offering.
B.Try improving.
C.Make use of.
D.Take control of.
【2】The DriveNow scheme ________.
A.works better in rush-hour traffic
B.makes city driving less dangerous
C.encourages people to buy a cheap car
D.allows drivers to pay money to use a car
【3】What’s special about BMW ActiveE cars?
A.They drive much faster than other cars.
B.They never get stuck in heavy traffic.
C.They don’t harm the environment.
D.They need less gas to run.
【4】What does Franck think of the future of car sharing?
A.Worrying.
B.Hopeful.
C.Uncertain.
D.Disappointing.

29、 Banks view online banking as a powerful “value-added” tool to attract and keep new customers while helping to eliminate costly paper handling or teller(出纳员)interactions in an increasingly competitive banking environment .
Today, most large national banks, many local banks and credit unions offer some form of online banking, variously known as PC banking, home banking, electronic banking or Internet banking. Online banks are sometimes referred to as “brick-to-click” banks, both to tell them from “brick-to-mortar” banks that haven’t yet offered online banking, as well as from “virtual”(虚拟)banks that have no physical branches or tellers whatsoever.
The challenge(挑战)for the banking industry has been to design this new service channel in such a way that its customers will readily learn to use and trust it. Most of the large banks can now offer fully safe, fully functional(功能的)online banking for free or for a small cost. As more banks succeed online and more customers use their sites, fully functional online banking will likely become as commonplace as automated teller machines (ATM).
Online banking has a lot of advantages. Unlike your corner bank, online banking sites never close; they’re at hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and they’re a mouse click away. If you’re out of state or even out of the country when a money problem appears, you can log on instantly to your online bank and take care of business. Online bank sites generally carry out and confirm (确认)deals at or quicker than ATM processing speeds. Many online banking sites now offer fashionable tools to help you manage all of your valuable items more effectively.
【1】The word “eliminate” in the first paragraph probably means “ ”.
A.keep
B.remove
C.reduce
D.improve
【2】What is the challenge for the banking industry according to the text ?
A.To make online banking attractive.
B.To open new services all over the world.
C.To offer online banking for free.
D.To take care of business 24 hours a day.
【3】From the text we can conclude that .
A.“brick-to-click” banks are in fact another kind of physical banks
B.the function of a “brick-to-click” bank is as common as that of an ATM
C.a “brick-to-mortar” bank is no better than a virtual one
D.customers can deal with their banking by a mouse click
【4】What would be the best title for this text ?
A.Banking of Various Forms
B.Improvement of Banking Industry
C.Development of Online Banking
D.Functions of the “Brick-to-Click” Bank

32、阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
A few years ago, my mom went to the doctor to ask him about her neck, which had been a little bigger than usual. It turned out there was something wrong with her lymph glands, and soon they scheduled Mom to have a biopsy on the seventh of September.
As soon as I found out, I was very angry, as September 7 is my birthday. They had promised to take me to see a spider-man movie and had a picnic in the yard. I shouted at her and everyone else, too. I even shouted at the dog. I started begging her to reschedule the biopsy. She gave me this look like she was about to cry and said, “I've done everything I can. I've got a disease. Could you forgive me?” Finally, I just shouted, “I hate you!” and ran into my room, crying. I sat on my bed thinking—Why do things always have to happen to me? Everyone gets diseases Why couldn't mum just go to hospital another day?
For the next couple of weeks I remained silently angry. Deep down I knew I shouldn't act that way, but I did anyway. Anyone could see how sad I was making my mom. I knew it wasn't her fault, but I had to have someone to blame.
Finally, my birthday came. My parents left early in the morning for the hospital, and I was sent to our neighbor's house. No spider-man movie, no birthday present, and no picnic. Though I was taken good care of, I was not having a good time. “This isn't fair,” I thought. “This was supposed to be my day.”
My parents came home late that night. Mom walked in with a bandage on her neck She sat down and rested her head on my dad's shoulder. It hurt so badly that it was difficult for her to talk.
Later that night, Mom asked me to get into her room and she pulled out a box.
