first, they pollute the air. then, when it rains, the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. dirty rain, called acid rain(酸雨), is also bad for plants, animals and buildings. scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world wont have enough clean water. we have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children. here is some advice for saving water:turn off the water while you brush your teeth. you can save as much as 450 liters(升) each month. leaky taps(漏水的龙头) waste a lot of water. fix them right away! you can easily cut your 10-minute showers(沐浴) in halfand youll be just as clean. when you wash dishes, dont let the water run. only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash. if your washing machine isnt full, youre wasting water!12. every morning napoga went to get clean water _.a. before she went to school b. after she finished school c without going to school d. after she played with her friends 13. on the earth, _. a. sea water is widely used than fresh water b. we dont need to worry about waterc. there is 71% of fresh waterd. there is very little water for our living 14. acid rain _. a. is only bad for living thingsb. can be produced in factoriesc. doesnt just do harm to human beings but to animals, plants and buildingsd. doesnt do harm to people, but its bad for plants, animals and buildings 15. whats the main idea of the passage?a. something must be done to prevent water form being polluted. b. its time to take care of the water we use. c. clean water means much to human beings and living things around us.d. water is the most important natural resource on the earth. 第二节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，共7.5）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项选出能填入空白的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。(16)_you probably think you will never be a top student. this is not necessarily so, however. anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. heres how: plan your time carefully. when planning your work, you should make a list of things that you have to do. after making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. first your time for eating , sleeping, dressing, etc. then decide a good, regular time for studying.(17)_ a weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you realize what is happening to your time.find a good place to study. look around the house for a good study area. keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. no games, radios, or television. when you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.make good use of your time in class.
