one billion people live in areas where fresh water resources are not available.the problem is especially serious in asia and the pacific. a united nations report says water availability in that area is the second lowest in the world,after africa.nearly half a billion people in asia and the pacific dont have enough safe drinking water. the united nations report notes that the worlds poor countries are also the ones that use the most water for agriculture. agriculture uses about 80% of the water in the asiapacific area. there has also been an increase in water used for industry. india used three times more industrial water between 1999 and 2009 than in the past.the shortage of clean drinking water around the world forces millions of people to drink unsafe water. this leads to an increase in diseases like diarrhea (腹泻),the second leading cause of death in children. floods,pollution and climate change have made the water crisis more serious.the millennium development goals for 2015 plans a 50% decrease in the number of people without safe drinking water. scientists,governments and aid organizations around the world are increasing their efforts to meet these goals. still the united nations says there is much work to be done. during this world water day celebration it called on other organizations to work together to fight against the water crisis.the american researchers are designing a new technology for turning sea water into drinking water. the process uses electricity to help bring salt out from sea water to make it drinkable.the technology removed 99% of the salt and other harmful materials from sea water.so far the method has purified only small amounts of water.but the researchers say it may someday be available as a personal water purifying machine.26which of

passage mainly tells us _.awhich country has the least drinking waterbwhich country has the most agricultural landcthe ways to reduce the water wastedthe water crisis humans meet withbmany years ago my student asked me the question, mrs. kindred, why do you teach? without taking time to reflect, i answered, because someday i might say something that might make a difference in someones life. even though i was sincere, that wasnt a very good answer and my student didnt let it slide. let me get this straight, he said, you went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone? he shook his head as if i were crazy and walked away looking confused. im one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift. even though that particular student might no longer wonder why i teach, there are days when i wonder. on those days, i remind myself of the real reasons i teach: its in my blood. my mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. she instilled (逐渐灌输) in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors. teaching is a way to make a difference. if you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore. you cant have ripples without a stone. good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and thats what i try to do. i genuinely love teenagers. i want to share with others what i know and what i have learned through the years. life is full of ups and downs, and if i can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life, i want to do so. if theyll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, i want to do too. teaching isnt for everyone, but i know i made the right career choice.31. why did the student continue to ask the question about the writers being a teacher? a. because he thought her answer was unbelievable. b. because the writer was insincere. c. because the student was naughty. d. because the answer was difficult to understand.32. what do you think of the writer? a. stupid. b. honest. c.

c. in the writers opinion, some people in the world are unfit to teach. d. the writer annoyed the student who asked the question.34. we can infer from the text that _. a. the writer was also a good teacher in school b. the writer often plays with her students beside a pond c. the writer devotes herself to teaching and her students d. the writer often accompanies the students on their way home35. whats the main idea of the text? a. a students silly question. b. a good teacher who likes students. c. a confused student. d. the reason why i teach.c millions of people die of hunger in southern africa every year, but when zambia was offered thousands of tons of free maize(玉米)by the us, the government politely paid no “we dont know whether the food is safe,” said zambias commerce,trade and industry minister dipak patel. his worries are shared by countries around the world that are in two minds about americas genetically modified(gm,转基因的)cropsjust last week, eu(欧盟)member nations were discussing whether or not to import gm sweet corn from the us ever since people started farming, they have tried to crossbreed(杂交)plants to make them stronger or better tasting. at one time, only related plants could be crossed with each other but when gm techniques were developed in the 1970s, scientists were able to put a single gene from a living creature into an unrelated creature. this means they can make crops more productive and resistant to disease by adding genes from other speciesthey can also create food with special characteristics, such as “golden rice”, which is enriched with vitamin a. but many people believe gm foods are a health risk. at the moment, the official argument is that gm foods “are not likely to present risks for human health”. but there are still many questions to be answered as the foods are produced in different ways. some experts believe the genetic material added to plants can transfer to humans and give damage to our bodies. further harm could be caused by the genes from gm plants crossbreeding with naturally produced crops people in china are also getting worried about gm foods. more than 70 percent of the countrys soybean oil is produced from imported gm soybeans. meanwhile, an investigation last november found that 12 of 60 famous foods sold across the country were gm products. the government has begun to introduce a marking system for gm goods so that people can choose whether or not to eat them. 36. which is the best title for the passage ? a. gm foods in china b. advantages of gm foods c. the techniques of gm foods d.gm foods, a health risk?37. why has zambia refused the american free maize? a. they worry about the safety of gm foodsb. they decide to follow eu members advice c. their problem of starvation is not serious d. they are too proud to accept free offer38. it has been proved that _. a. gm techniques can increase the production of crops b. gm food is better than naturally produced foods c. only related plans could be crossed with each other d. gm foods are harmful to peoples health 39. which of the following statement is true? a. there is no gm foods in china. b. some experts believe human bodies can absorb genetic material from gm foods. c. chinas government doesnt do anything about gm foods. d. only zambia worries about the safety of gm foods.40. whats the authors attitude towards gm foods? a. supportive. b. doubtful. c. neutral. d. critical. da world-famous canadian author, margaret atwood, has created the worlds first long-distance signing device(装置), the longpen.after many tiring book-signing tours from city to city, atwood thought there must be a better way to do them. she hired some technical experts and started her own company in 2004. together they designed the longpen. heres how it works: the author writes a personal message and signature on a computer tablet(手写板) using a special pen. on the receiving end, in another city, a robotic arm fitted with a regular pen signs the book. the author and fan can talk with each other via webcams(网络摄像机) and computer screens.work on the longpen began in atwoods basement(地下室). at first, they had no idea it would be as hard as it turned out to be. the device went through several versions, including one that actually had smoke coming out of it. the investing finally completed, test runs were made in ottawa, and the longpen was officially launched at the 2006 london book fair. from here , atwood conducted two transatlantic book signings of her latest book for fans in toronto and new york city.the longpen produces a unique signature each time because it copies the movement of the author in real time. it has several other potential applications. it could increase credit card security and allow people to sign contracts from another province. the video exchange between signer and receiver can be recorded on dvd for proof when legal documents are used.“its really fun”, said the owner of a bookstore, who was present for one of the test runs. “obviously you cant shake hands with the author, but there are chances for a connection that you dont get from a regular book signing.”the response to the invention has not been all favorable. atwood has received criticism from authors who think she is trying to end book tours. but she said, “it will be possible to go to places that you never got sent to before because the publishers couldnt afford it.”41. why did atwood decide to invent the longpen? a. to set up her own company. b. to win herself greater popularity. c. to write her books in a new way. d . to make book signings less tiring.42. how does the longpen work?a .it copies the authors signature and prints it on a book.b. it signs a book while receiving the authors signature.c. the webcam sends the authors signature to another city.d. the fan uses it to copy the authors signature himself.43. what do we know about the invention of the longpen?a. it has been completed but not put into use. b. the basement caught fire by accident.c. some versions failed before its test run. d. the designers were well-prepared for the difficulty.44. how could the longpen be used in the future?a. to draft legal documents. b. to improve credit card securityc. to keep a record of the authors ideas. d. to allow author and fan to exchange videos45. what could be inferred from paragraphs 5 and 6?a. atwood doesnt mean to end book tours. b. critics think the longpen is of little usec. bookstore owners dont support the longpen d. publishers dislike the longpen for its high cost.第二节信息匹配(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)首先请阅读下列各类大学的基本信息:a. southern new hampshire universitysnhu offers bachelor degree programs in accounting, business, communications, sociology, information technology, the
