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. 1. The world is thirsty for water because we can only use _ percent of the water covering the surface of the earth. A. 3 B. more than 3 C. less than 3 D. 97 2. 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.

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 参考答案CCABBBToday there are 6 billion people on the earth. By the year 2050 there may be 12.5 billion. This means we need more food.One way to produce more food is by growing stronger plants. For thousands of years, farmers have made plants better. Every season, they pick the best plants for the next season. It works very slowly. Since 1983, scientists have been able to change plants more quickly by changing their genetic material (遗传物质). Foods from plants grown in this way are called genetically modified foods (转基因食品), or GM foods.By changing the genetic material of a plant, it is possible to make new plants. They make plants which are strong against plant diseases. They can also help in our diseases: a kind of rice is being prepared (准备), for example, which stops people from becoming blind.Rich countries produce GM food because they are easy to grow and bring in more money. Poor countries are interested in them because they help produce more food.GM plants are not natural. No one knows how good or bad they are. Making GM foods is only one way of feeding people in 2050. There are strong feelings against them, because they are unnatural. They may feed people, then hurt them or their children later. But, both rich and poor countries are very interested in their use, and they are not going to go away. In 2050 we may think differently about them. 1GM foods are made by .

AGM foods will disappear one day in the future BGM foods will not disappear in the future Cpeople will not be interested in GM food Dpeople will have to stop using GM food参考答案CDACB CIf you want to become a fluent(流利的)English speaker you should take some advice: There are four skills in learning English. They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening. Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence, the meanings of the unfamiliar words, etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across, but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever you see them, for example in other passages or books, is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it_ As for listening, there are two choices: besides reading, you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs in your mind, you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening. For listening you can listen to cartoons or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes. If you follow these pieces of advice, your speaking and writing will improve automatically, a
