This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70 percent（百分比）of the earths surface is covered with water. But about 97 percent of this huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3 percentthe fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources（资源）. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers（冰川）. Even worse, some of it has been polluted. However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing（增加）rapidlyalmost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid（避免）a severe（严重的）worldwide water shortage later on. We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system（下水道）. From there it returns to the sea or runs into underground storage tanks. But it is possible to pipe used water to a purifying（净化）plant. There it can be treated with chemicals so that it can be used again, just as if it were fresh from a spring. But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. All wed have to do to make use of the vast reserves（贮备）of sea water in the world is to remove the salt. If we take these steps well be in no danger of drying up. 31. The world is thirsty for water because we can only use _ percent of the water covering the surface of the earth. A. 3B. more than 3 C. less than 3 D. 97 32. Which of the following statements is Not true? A. As things remain unchanging, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us. B. Our need for water is becoming larger and larger. C. There will be no water shortage in the future. D. We should take steps to deal with the water shortage problem. 33. To reuse water, we should _. A. treat it with chemicals B. use it only once C. send it out into a sewer system D. make it flow into underground tanks 34. In order to have enough water, we should also make use of _. A. icebergs and glaciers B. sea water C. rivers and lake D. underground water 35. In the passage, the writer tells us _. A. to make enough water B. to pay more attention to the water shortage problem C. to pipe used water to a purifying plant D. to reuse the water B The United States has many different kinds of climates（气候）. On the northwest coast（海岸）, the temperature changes very little between summer and winter, but the north central（中部的）states have a very different kind of climate. In those states, people wear light clothes in summer, and they need heavy woolen clothes in winter. In the southwest coast, the climate is rainy and warm during the winter, but the summer is dry and hot. In the northeast of the United States, summer temperatures are very different from winter temperatures. Summer is usually hot, and winter is usually cold. Spring temperatures are warm, and fall temperatures are cool. Years ago, people in the cold parts of the United States didnt often get fresh （新鲜的）vegetables and fresh fruits during the summer. Today, however（然而），trucks and trains carry fruits and vegetables very quickly to all parts of the United States. In this way, Americans “send their climates” to people in other states. 36. The summer and winter temperatures are almost the same _. A. in the northeastern states B. on the north central states C. in the western states D. on the northwest coast 37. The word “fall” in this passage means _. A. dropB. downC. autumnD. spring 38. Today people _ can get fresh vegetables and fruits. A. in the north central states B. in every part of the U.S.A. C. in the cold parts of the U.S.A. D. in the southwest part of the U.S.A. 39. From this passage we know that the climate of the United States _. A. is always very cold B. is warm in winter C. is widely different D. changes very little between summer and winter 40. From Paragraph 2 we know that the climate of the southwest coast is _. A. Maritime（海洋性）climate B. Savanna（热带草原）climate C. Mediterranean（地中海）climate D. Tropical rainforest（热带雨林）climate四、任务型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分，计10分）A:根据短文内容,判断正 (T) 误 (F).Have you ever seen the film Traveling Bird? In the film, groups of birds fly high above the sky and cross the way above snow, rivers, fields, sea and grassland. Im sure you will love the beautiful picture when you see the film.But you may not feel so good if you have learnt about bird flu (禽流感) from TV or on the Internet. Some governments had to kill chickens in their cities. A large number of chickens and even some people died in Asia, and nearly 8,500 birds died in Russia because of bird flu.Chickens can get bird flu from the feces (粪便) of the passing birds. It is nit so difficult to control the chickens in cages or on farms. But it is much more difficult to control the birds in the sky.Luckily, scientists have found a medicine for bird flu. But the virus (病毒) can change easily and quickly. So bird flu is still a serious problem we must face.( ) 1. We know how birds get bird flu from the film Traveling Bird.( ) 2. Not only birds and chickens but also man can get bird flu.( ) 3. The feces of the passing birds can not cause bird flu.( ) 4. It is easier to control chickens than to control flying birds( ) 5. Scientists have found the medicine, so we neednt worry about bird flu and more.B.Do you agree on the school rule?School rules are sometimes not so welcome among the students. For example, in our school snacks are forbidden. Lets see how the students see this rule.Kate: I think its good for students not to bring snacks to school because most of snacks are unhealthy. Some snacks can cause illnesses like cancer. And the food in our school is enough for us. Maybe its not delicious. But its much healthier than snacks. Also, most of us dont want to be so fat. If we eat a lot of snacks, we will probably get fatter and fatter. The school has milk, eggs, bread, fruits and so on. What else do we want?Vicky: I think bringing some fruits should be allowed. Fruits can give us lots of energy and water.Karen: I think the teachers should tell the students what kind of food is not allowed. They should not say no to all kinds of food. We are growing now, so we need lots of energy. We may always feel hungry. What can we do when we are hungry? The school restaurants dont offer biscuits at any time during the day, so we need to bring some biscuits. Also, the fruits offered by our school are not fresh and even rotten(烂的), so I prefer to eat fruits that I bring to school myself.Mr Smith:When a rule is set, there must be some reasons. Why are snacks forbidden in our school? As some students say, snacks are not good for our health. Of course, we should be told what kind of food is not allowed. Are fruits and biscuits snacks? We can ask the head teacher in a polite way and get a certain answer. I dont think it is a good idea to break the rule by bringing snacks to school in a secret way.根据短文内容，回答下面问题。 41. How does Kate like snacks?_42. What food does Vicky mainly talk about?_43. Why does Karen think they need to bring some biscuits to school?_44. Which does Karen prefer, the fruits offered by the school or the ones that she brings to school?_45. Does Mr Smith agree on the school rule?_ 五、词汇运用（共10小题，每小题1分，计15分）根据句意，用方框内单词的适当形式填空。afraid, attention, candy, catch, cover, he, influence, rest, pronounce, possible 46.
