However, British scientists say that the fruit may disappear by 2050.One reason for this is climate(气候) change. Scientists at the University of Exeter collected data(数据) from 27 countries and regions that produce 86 percent of the worlds bananas. They found that climate change has improved growing conditions in 21 of these countries. In the past 60 years, the average yield(平均产量) has reached 1.37 tons of bananas per hectare(公顷).However, if temperatures keep rising, this advantage will disappear. Ten of the countries, including India, the worlds biggest producer of bananas, will produce fewer bananas. By 2050, the fruit may die out.Shouldnt bananas grow more easily if its hotter outside? In fact, the perfect temperature range for growing bananas is between 24 and 32 C. If temperatures get too high, they will stop growing.Diseases are another danger to bananas. Unlike other crops, the bananas we grow come from shoot cuttings(茎段) rather than seeds. This means that all banana plants have the same genotype(基因型). In other words, if a disease is able to kill one plant, it could kill them all.One serious disease is called Panama. Caused by fungus(真菌) in the soil, it spreads easily. It has spread across South Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Australia. If one banana plantation(种植园) suffers from the disease, it will take 30 years until it is able to grow bananas again. Scientists have yet to find a cure for this disease.（1）What does the underlined word this in Paragraph 2 refer to? A . Peoples love for bananas.B . The taste of bananas.C . The convenience of eating bananas.D . The future disappearance of bananas.（2）What might happen if temperatures keep going higher? A . More countries will start to grow bananas.B . Bananas will grow better in most countries.C . Bananas will not be able to grow any more.D . Bananas wont be as tasty as before.（3）What does Paragraph 5 tell us? A . What diseases bananas may suffer from.B . How bananas are grown.C . How diseases can easily kill bananas.D . Which diseases can kill bananas.（4）The passage is written to _. A . offer tips for growing bananasB . explain why bananas may die outC . show the difficulties of growing bananasD . describe bananas growing conditions17. （10分）阅读短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项。 Smile Train is a charity (慈善团体) that helps the millions of children around the world, who suffer from a facial defect (缺陷). The defect happens when a babys top lip or mouth doesnt form properly before birth. Eating and drinking is very difficult for these babies. The charity provides free operations, which give these children a new smile, and with it, new hope and a new beginning.Children with the defect need all the help. Although many sufferers are accepted by their families, sadly, others are not. In some countries, children with this defect are often abandoned at birth because their parents feel ashamed of them or cannot afford the operations. The good news is that the operation is not difficult. It takes less than an hour and costs the family nothing. The charity raises money and finds the right medical volunteers to perform the operations.A Smile Train doctor from the UK said, Each child who has the operation is given a second chance at life. After years of staying at home, the children can finally go to school and be happy. Every year I perform hundreds of operations free of cost through Smile Train. Some of the stories I have heard are quite surprising. One newborn baby girl was found abandoned on a train. Luckily for her, she was found and adopted (收养) by a passenger. This lady then heard about Smile Train and brought the baby to our hospital. I did the operation and gave hope to the family. Experienced doctors like me share our skills with local doctors. In this way we make sure that these operations will always be available.（1）Smile Train is a charity which _. A . provides food and medical care for poor childrenB . raises money for all the doctors working in the UKC . offers free medical help to children with the facial defectD . gives children without parents new hope and a new beginning（2）The underlined word abandoned in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _. A . given upB . dressed upC . called upD . brought up（3）What did the doctor from the UK think of his volunteer work? A . DangerousB . SurprisingC . RelaxingD .

A . children with the facial defect are becoming more ashamed than beforeB . more doctors are trained to help children with the facial defectC . fewer baby boys with the facial defect are operated on than girlsD . doctors in Smile Train are always well paid for doing the operations18. （8分）阅读理解 The world is not hungry, but it is thirsty. It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the Earth is covered with water while we say we are short of（短缺）water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the Earth is sea water which we cant drink or use for watering plants directly(直接地）. Man can only drink and use the 3%-the water that comes from rivers and lakes. And we cant even use all of that, because some of it has been polluted(污染）. Now more water is needed. The problem is Can we avoid（避免）a serious water shortage later on? First, we should all learn how to save water. Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it. Scientists have always been researching in the field. Today, in most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the seas or rivers. But it can be used again. Even if(即使）every large city reused its water, there would not be enough. What can people turn to next?The seas seem to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the seas. All that needs to be done is get the salt out of the sea water. This is expensive, but its already used in many parts of the world. Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it. So you see, if we can find a way out, well be in no danger of drying up. （1）The world is thirsty because . A . 3/4 of the Earth is covered with waterB . we have enough sea water to use directlyC . we havent used all the water in rivers and lakesD . about 97% of water on the Earth cant be drunk or used for watering plants directly（2）Which of the following is TRUE?

A . Save water and try to make good use of the water in rivers and lakes.B . Dont pollute water and keep all rivers and lakes clean.C . Make dirty water clean and then reuse it.D . Try to find a cheaper way to get the salt out of the sea water.（5）What is the best title for the passage? A . The sea waterB . How to save waterC . The thirsty worldD .
