The lack of water services is the cause of much disease and illness in the developing nations. Increased demand and greater use of water (caused by population increases) often create the need for extra water treatment because water from new source areas tends to be of lower quality. Water services would be improved if the construction of facilities (设施) were not so costly. Water pollution in the developing nations is sometimes caused by overuse of fertilizers and a general lack of pollution prevention laws. Access to good wastewater treatment facilities in these countries is very limited. As a result, water bodies in the developing nations are often open to human and animal waste products. Besides, the waste chemicals of factories are also poured into these water bodies. In the developing nations, floods account for about 40 percent of all deaths caused by natural disasters. For example, 3.7 million people were killed in a 1931 flood on Chinas Yangtze River. However, floods also carry sediment（沉积物）and nutrients into flood plains. This natural process is important for agricultural production. Programs for flood management should consider and find a way to balance the harmful and beneficial aspects of floods. Throughout the developing countries, deforestation (滥伐森林) is being caused by a combination of overpopulation, improper land use practices, and a lack of environmental laws. Soil erosion (侵蚀) is a natural process, but deforestation and other human activities have led to a five times increase in the average levels of sediment carried in the worlds rivers. Too much sediment in rivers can damage ecosystems and fisheries, affecting the people who directly depend on them. 51. Why is it hard to improve water resources in developing countries? A. Because water from new source areas is of low quality.B. Because the population in these countries increases very fast. C. Because they cant afford the high cost of building facilities. D. Because they have to deal with more serious problems.52. Which of the following is NOT a cause of water pollution in developing countries? A. Pollution caused by industrial chemicals.B. Pollution caused by human waste. C. Farmers using too much fertilizer.D. The breaking of pollution prevention laws.53. What can we learn from the third paragraph? A. Of the natural disasters, floods happen most often. B. Floods do both harm and good to human beings. C. The biggest flood in human history happened in China. D. No agriculture production can go on after a flood happens. 54. The main reason for the increased sediment in the worlds rivers is _. A. floodsB. damage from animals C. human activitiesD. soil erosion 55. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Some problems of water resources in developing countries. B. The importance of water treatment. C. Water pollution in developing countries. D. The help that developing countries need to protect environment. BTornadoes (龙卷风) are natures most violent storms, which can cause deaths and destroy a neighborhood in seconds. A tornado appears as a rotating, funnel-shaped (漏斗形的) cloud that extends from a thunderstorm to the ground with whirling winds that can reach 300 miles per hour. Damage paths can be over one mile wide and 50 miles long. Every state is at some risk from this disaster. Some tornadoes can be seen clearly, while rain or nearby low-hanging clouds obscure others. At many times, tornadoes develop so rapidly that little, if any, advance warning is possible. Before a tornado hits, the air may become very still. A cloud of debris (散片) can mark the location of a tornado even if a funnel can not be seen. Tornadoes generally occur near the edge of a thunderstorm, when the strong wind may die down. It is not uncommon to see clear, sunlit skies behind a tornado. The following are facts about tornadoes:The average forward speed of a tornado is 30 MPH, but may vary from still to 70 MPH. Debris is picked up or a cloud forms in the funnel.The average tornado moves southwest to northeast, but tornadoes have been known to move in any direction. Tornadoes are most often reported east of the Rocky Mountains during spring and summer months.Tornadoes can happen together with tropical storms and hurricanes as they move onto land. Waterspouts are tornadoes that form over water. Peak tornado season in the southern states of America is March through May; in the northern states, it is late spring through early summer. Tornadoes are most likely to occur between 3 pm and 9 pm, but can occur at any time.56. From the passage, we learn that tornadoes come from _. A. hurricanesB. great heat C. thunderstormsD. sandstorms 57. The underlined word “obscure” in the second paragraph probably means “_”.A. hide B. reduceC. produce D. raise58.

If you take a few precautions, buying over the Internet can actually be safer than using your credit card in a restaurant. Just as you should notice your surroundings and suspicious-looking people when withdrawing (提取) money from an ATM, you should know how to recognize the warning signs of Internet tricks and take steps to avoid being a victim when shopping online. Here are some good tips to remember when shopping online: Before submitting your personal information to a site, try to find out how the information may be used and whether it will be sold to or shared with other businesses. If you dont like what you read, shop somewhere else. Dont provide personal information such as address, telephone number, social security number, or email address unless you know who you are providing the information for, why its being requested, and how it will be used. Use a credit card, not a debit card (借记卡) for shopping on the Internet. Debit cards dont have the same protection as credit cards. Carefully review your credit card and bank statement each month for unknown charges and inform your credit card company or bank immediately if you notice any charges you didnt know about. Clean your computer with free online software that detects spy-ware and install a firewall (防火墙) to ensure the sites you shop on dont install spy-ware on your computer.61.
