Individual commodities(商品)，in tins,bags,boxes or other containers,are stacked(堆放)in groups on the shelves,and each group is labeled with a price ticket.Metal baskets near the dentrance are taken by the shoppers who collect in them the goods they select from the shelves.Between the shelf units and the window in one half of the shops are a number of small cornters about three feet high.Beside each sits a cashier(现金出纳员),who operates a machine for totaling the cost of each customers purchases.The customer places the basket at one end of the counter so that it can be emptied by the cashier who records the price of the commodities one by one,before putting each on a moving section of the counter top,The goods are collected and packed into the customers bag by another assistant at the end of the counter.The cashier finally hands a printed slip recording all prices to the customer, who pays the total,collects the bag and leaves.36 Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A Most supermarkets have a very large floor areaB Most supermarkets are on one floor onlyC Most supermarkets have a floor area as large as that of an ordinary shop.D Some supermarkets have a floor area at least ten times as that of an ordinary shop37 In most supermarkets goods are storedA upstairs and in rooms at the back.B upstairs or in rooms at the backC downstairs or in rooms at the backD downstairs and in rooms at the back38 A supermarket usually hasA lots of rooms for shopper stos inB lots of rest rooms for shoppers to useC lots of rooms where new varieties of goods are on display .D ample space for sheppers to move round39 Who empties the basket?A The shopperB The customerC The cashierD The putchaser40 What does the customer collect before he or she leaves?A The printed slipB The bagC The metal basket.D The cash第三篇 A Thirsty WorldThe world is not only hungry,it is also thirsty for water.This may seem strange to you,since nearly 75% of the earths surface is covered with water.But about 97% of this huge amount is sea-water,or salt water.Man can only drink and use the other 3% -the fresh water that comes from rives, lakes, underground, and other sources.And we cannot even use all of that,because some of it is in the form of icebergs(冰山)and glaciers(冰山).Even worse,some of it has been polluted.At the moment，this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us . However，our for water is increasing rapidly.Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shonage 1ateronA limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industryIn addition to stopping wasting our precious water，one useful step we should dtake is to develop ways of reusing it.Experiments have already been done in this field ,but donly on a small scale.Today,in most large cities，water is used only once and it eventually returns to the sea or runs into underground storage tanks，But it is possible to pipe water that has been used to a purifying(净化)plant，There it can be filtered (过滤)and 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 sill would not have enough.Where could we turn next? To the oceans!All wed have to do to make use of the vast amount of sea-water is - remove the salt.This salt- removing process is already in use in many parts of the world.So if we dtake all these steps,well be in no danger of drying up!41 The phrasethe worldin the first line of the passage refers toA youB manC woman.D they42 What percentage of the earths water can man actually use at present?A Less than 3 per cent.B Nearly 75 per centC About 97 per centD Exactly3 per cent.43According to the passage we can avoid a worldwide water shortage in the future byA increasing rainfallB cutting down our consumption of water.C reusing water and utmzing sea-waterl.D reducing the number of factories producing steel.44 Which of the following starements，according to the passage，is NOT true?A A 1imited water supply will affect industrial productionB Purified water is not exactly as fresh as spring water.C Every lagge city purifies and reusesits water.D Oceans are the largest water source45 According to the passage,sea-water can be turned into fresh water byA heating it upB treating it with chemicals.C drying it upD taking salt out of it.第5部分：补全短文 (第4650题，每题2分，共10分)阅读下面的短文，文章中有5处空白，文章后面有6组文字，请根据文章的内容选择5组文字，将其分别放回文章原有位置，以恢复文章原貌。请将答案涂在答题卡相应的位置上。Home SchoolingA11children in the United States have to receive an education，but the law does not say they have to be educated at school .
