It says more than three hundred and thirty-five million people lack enough water now. The people live in twenty-eight countries. Most of the countries are in Africa or in the Middle East.Population Action International research Robert Engelman says by the year 2025, about three thousand million people lack water. At least 18 more countries are expected to have serious water problems. The demand for water keeps increasing. Yet the amount of water on the earth stays the same. Mr Engelman says the population in countries that lack water is growing faster than in other parts of the world. He says population growth in these countries will continue to increase.The report says lack of water in the future may result in several problems. It may increase health problem, lack of water often means drinking water is not safe. Mr. Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of disease such as cholera that are carried in water.Lack of water also may result in more international conflict(冲突). Countries may have to fight for water in the future. Some countries, such as Syria, Sudan, Iraq, Cambodia and so on, now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries. And the report says lack of water would affect the ability to improve their economies. This is because industries often need a large amount of water.The population Action International study gives several ways to solve the water problem. One way is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose. Another is to teach people to be careful not to waste water. A third is to use less water for agriculture. The report also says long-term solutions to the water problem must include controlson population growth.1. According to the report, how many countries will lack water by the year 2025?A. More than eighteen.B. About twenty-eight.C. Less than forty.D. At least forty-six.2. _ million will lack water by the year 2025.A.335 B.3,000C. 3,305 D. 3553. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The amount of the water on earth will always stay the same.B. The report gives three solutions to the water problem.C. Most of the countries that lack water belong to the developing ones.D. Theres only one long-term solution to solve the water problem, that is we must try our best to control the population growth.4. The passage mainly tells us that _.A. water is very important for any personB. PAI did a lot of study about water shortageC. water shortage will be a serious problem facing us in the near futureD. controlling the population is the best way to solve the problem of water shortageBImagine that the genome(基因组)is a book. The book consists of 23 chapters with thousands of stories made up of paragraphs, words and letters on different levels. There are one billion words in the book, which makes it longer than 5,000 volumes the size of this book. Or as long as 800 Bibles, if I read the genome out to you at the rate of one word per second for eight hours a day, it would take me century, if I wrote out the h genome, one letter per millimeter, my text would be as long as the River Danube. This is an enormous document. A huge volume, a cook book of great length, and it all fits inside the extremely small nuclear of a tiny cell that fits easily upon the head of a pin.The idea of the genome as a book is not, strictly speaking, even a metaphor(比喻). It is true to a great extent. A book is a piece of digital information, written in one-directional form and defined by a code that translates a small alphabet of signs into a large dictionary of meanings through the order of their groupings. So is a genome. The only complication is that all English books read from left to right, while some parts of the genome read from left to right, and some form right to left, though never both at the same time.While English books are written in words of different lengths using twenty-six letters. Genomes are written entirely in three-letter words, using only four letters, and instead of being written on flat pages, they are written on long chains of DNA molecules (分子). The genome is a very clever book, because in the right condition it can both photocopy itself and read itself.5. How do human genomes read according to the passage?A. Only from left to right.B. Only from right to left.C. From both directions at the same time.D. From one direction at a time.6. We can learn from the passage that the human genome_.A. is as long as the River DanubeB. can be easily placed on the head of a pinC. is coded with an alphabet of four lettersD. is smart enough to read and take photos of itself7. It can be concluded that the passage is mainly written for_.A. specialists in the fieldB. general readersC. natural scientistsD. readers with academic background8. The real purpose of the authors comparison of the genome to a book is _.A. to focus on the differences between the twoB. to lay emphasis on the similarities between the twoC. to simplify the concept of the human genomeD. to give an exact description of the human genomeCHow many words one uses cannot be measured exactly? However, Professor Seashore concluded that first-graders entered school with at least 24,000 words and add 5,000 each year so that they leave high school with at least 80,000. These figures are for recognition vocabulary, the words we understand when we read or hear them, which are more than our active vocabulary, the words we use in speaking and writing.Using the words you recognize in reading will help get them into your active vocabulary. In your reading, pay attention to these words, especially when the subject is one that you might well write or talk about. Underline or make a list of words that you feel a need for and look up the ones you are not sure of in a dictionary. And then before very long find a way to use some of them. Once you know how they are pronounced and what they mean, you can safely use them.9. How many words do one use?A. Nobody can not answer the question.B. No one knows for sure but Pro. Seashore.C. Not everyone can tell the exact number.D. People cannot give an exact answer, not even Pro.Seashore.10. According to Pro. Seashore, _.A. one has at least 80,000 recognition wordsB. recognition words can become active onesC. ones recognition vocabulary consists of words and non-active onesD. ones active words grow with his recognition ones11. One way suggested by the writer to increase our active vocabulary is that we should _.A. look up a dictionary for more new words and keep them in our noteB. read and recognize the words we will need and add them into our list of active vocabularyC. keep well in touch with more recognition words and keep using them after grasping their pronunciation and meaningD. read more, write more and use more12 .According to the passage, an important step leading to the correct use of vocabulary is _.A. extending the list of the active wordsB. often looking up a dictionary for necessary wordsC. knowing your subject wellD. grasping the correct pronunciation and meaning of the words to be usedDBEIJINGSet off by the April 1 Sino-US plane collision(碰撞 )and US official agreement of the biggest arms sale to Taiwan in a decade(ten years)as well as remarks by US President Bush on defending Taiwan, there have been increasing hacker(黑客) attacks on websites of the two countries in the past weeks.An American group of backers which calls itself Poizon Box had begun mining Chinese websites after the April 1 spy plane incident, top Chinese portal Sina. com. said.The Chinese soon attacked back.On April 29, Chinese hackers invaded two US Government websites over the weekend, forcing the Department of labour and the Department of Health and Human Services to shut down their sites for a short time.The US Department of Labour went offline for a few hours after a page in its website was changed to display a picture of Wang Wei, the Chinese pilot who died in the collision.The page was titled China Hack! and read, in English, The whole country is sorry for losing the best son of ChinaWang Wei forever, we will miss you until the end of the day.On May 1, hackers exchanged bad remarks in which the official White House website was defaced by a huge amount of e-mall garbage. On May 5, the White House website fell victim to a denial of service attack that blocked access(通道)to the site for more than two hours.The Computer Network and Information Security Management Office told web operators an average of 100 sites a day had seensome more form of attack.13. The best title of the passage is _.A. Sino-US Plane CollisionB. Sino-US Hackers Fighting Cyber-warC. 100 Sites Being AttackedD. Cyber-war Continuing14. What is the correct order of the events?a. Wang Weis picture appeared on a US website.b. Poizon Box destroyed some Chinese websites.c. The access to White House website was blocked for over two hours.d. Hackers exchanged bad remarks.A. a, b, c, d B. a, c, b, dC. b, a, d, c D. b, a, c, d15. From the passage we can infer that _.A. Us President Bush defended TalwanB. All the Chinese people are sorry for losing the best son of ChinaC. Websites in the US and China have been watchful for attacksD. Chinese hackers began to play an important role in foreign affairsEWhats the secret to mastering chess? Lots of study and practice. But thats not all, according to a new research suggesting that expert and amateur players use different parts of their brains during matches.Scientists in Germany scanned the brains of 20 men as they played against computers. Half were grandmasters while the other half were merely good amateurs whod practiced for at least 10 years.For a few seconds after a player made a move, tiny bits of “focal gamma bursts appeared in their brains.In the amateurs, such bursts were detected most notably in an area crucial for performing new tasks and establishing short-term memory. But, the bursts in the grandmaster were found most often in the parts of the brain linked with long-term memory and the ability to perform complex motor tasks.The lead researcher Ongjen Amidzic said his findings, reported on August 9 in the journal Nature, pointed out that experts and amateurs use their brains in fundamentally different ways during a match.“As a young man, I dreamed of becoming a grandmaster and practiced hard but I failed,” said Amidzic, 32. “Now I realize Ive reached a level I cant get through.16. According to the report, .A. lots of study and practice can help make a grandmaster in chessB. grandmasters are better at using their brains during chess matches than amateursC. amateurs lack the ability of performing complex motor tasksD. grandmasters often fail when playing against computers17. In the third paragraph, “focal gamma bursts are tiny bits ofA. short-term memory B. long-term memoryC. brain D. energy18. It is implied but not directly stated thatA. ones thinking mode plays a key role in deciding whether hell be a grandmaster at chess or notB. you have to practise for at least 10 years to become good amateurs in chessC. expert and amateur players use different parts of their brains during matchesD. often playing against computers is the grandmasters secret to mastering chess19. Which of the following statements is true according to the report?A. Only Ongjen Amidzic did the new research.B. The findings of the new research were published on August 9 in a scientific agazine.C. The new research was done together by some scientists from many countries.D.
