    根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

    California is dry. The sunny state is suffering from a four-year drought — a serious and unusual lack of rainfall. The effects of the drought can be seen most clearly in California’s Sierra Nevada mountains. Much of the state’s water supply comes from the deep snow that falls in these mountains. That snow melts in the spring and fills the state’s rivers, lakes, and underground bodies of water. 1. .As a result, experts are now warning that California currently has only a one-year supply of usable water. Today we are standing on dry grass where there should be five feet of snow.

    2. .That means people will have to limit their water use at home. They can do this by not watering lawns and reducing how much water they use for cleaning and cooking. 3. Places like golf courses currently use a lot of water to keep lawns green. They’ll need to find solutions for this problem that require less water.

    California’s water crisis has been caused mainly by a lack of rain and snowfall over the past few years. 4. . Today, California is home to nearly 40 million people. This is double the number who lived there in 1960.

    California simply has too many people for its natural resources. 5. . Many people have moved to the state because of its natural beauty and pleasant weather. And several major businesses are based in California, including Hollywood movie companies such as Warner Bros. and technology giants like Apple.

    The drought is not likely to destroy California’s businesses, but the state will have to rethink how it grows and does things.

    A. People can benefit a lot from this terrible drought.

    B. This serious drought needs immediate action.

    C. Nature has prepared so much for people.

    D. Mother Nature didn’t intend for so many people.

    E. But the snow hasn’t been falling.

    F. But another big problem is its growing population.

    G. Some public places will need to make big changes.

    Last weekend, I went to the zoo and saw the panda, the animal that I like best. The panda was not only the sign of rare animals but also a sign of China. Pandas are so lovely that almost all people are like them. But as the balance of nature is destroying, pandas become less. They mainly live on bamboo, and each panda needs to eat a lot bamboo every day. The area of bamboo is becoming smaller for many difference reasons, so pandas have less land to live on. Pandas don't have many babies, and baby pandas often die, that makes the situation more serious. However, our government is working hardly to save them and many new plans have been made to increase the numbers of pandas. I hope that there will be more and more pandas live in the wild.

    Peter Owen was born in Wales in 1771. At the age of ten he went to work. His employer had a large private library so Owen was able to educate himself. He read a lot in his spare time and at nineteen he was given the job of superintendent(监工) at a Manchester cotton mill. He was so successful there that he persuaded his employer to buy the New Lanark mill in Scotland.

    When he arrived at New Lanark it was a dirty little town with a population of 2,000 people. Nobody paid any attention to the workers' houses or their children's education. The conditions in the factories were very bad. There was a lot of crime and the men spent most of their wages on alcoholic drinks.

    Owen improved the houses. He encouraged people to be clean and save money. He opened a shop and sold the workers cheap, well-made goods to help them. He limited the sale of alcoholic drinks. Above all, he fixed his mind on the children's education. In 1816 he opened the first free primary school in Britain.

    People came from all over the country to visit Owen's factory. They saw that the workers were healthier and more efficient than in other towns. Their children were better fed and better educated. Owen tried the same experiment in the United States. He bought some land there in 1825, but the community was too far away. He could not keep it under control and lost most of his money.

    Owen never stopped fighting for his idea. Above all he believed that people are not born good or bad. He was a practical man and his ideas were practical. "If you give people good working conditions," he thought, "they will work well and, the most important thing of all, if you give them the chance to learn, they will be better people."

    1.For Owen, his greatest achievement in New Lanark was _______.

    A. improving worker's houses

    B. helping people to save money

    C. preventing men from getting drunk

    D. providing the children with a good education

    2. From the passage we may infer that Owen was born _______.

    A. into a rich family B. into a noble family

    C. into a poor family D. into a middle class family

    3.Owen's experiment in the United States failed because _______.

    A. he lost all his money

    B. he did not buy enough land

    C. people who visited it were not impressed

    D. it was too far away for him to organize it properly

    4. We may infer form the passage that no children in Britain could enjoy free education until

    ____.

    A. 1771 B. 1816 C. 1825 D. 1860

    Parents are fighting for their child’s right to rest across the country. Twenty-three elementary schools in Orange County, Florida, have been cutting back on rest, and even canceling it to increase class time.

    In a recent Orange County School Board meeting, parents demanded that rest time be carried out in all local schools for all students. Angela Browning, a parent in the area, said that schools’ rest is ranging from zero to 30 minutes per day. “Five-year-olds not getting rest means abuse,” said Browning, whose twins in the second grade benefit from taking a break and learn better.

    The main reason for reducing the rest time is Common Core exams including math, language arts and literacy, where the students’ performance often controls teachers’ pay and sometimes teachers may lose their jobs. Many teachers are using that extra 20 minutes that would have been spent on the schools’ scores, everybody is stressful,” said Diana Moore, president of the Orange County Classroom Teachers Association.

    The decision of whether reducing rest takes place, and for how long is up to each school’s rule. “Florida law requires that districts provide 900 teaching hours during the school year,” Florida’s Department of Education press secretary Cheryl Etters said in a statement. “Whether test is part of the school day is a decision made by the school board.”

    Reducing test also can take away an opportunity for children to learn social skills, according to many experts. “In society, who cares if you have straight A’s and you get a scholarship to Harvard if you lack social skills?” said Mallet, a mother of two children.

    1.What will Angela Browning agree with?

    A. Kids of five years old had better get more break time.

    B. Proper rest time improves children’s learning efficiency.

    C. The more rest children have, the higher grades they will get.

    D. Elementary schools should limit kids’ rest time to 30 minutes.

    2.What drives so many teachers to reduce students’ rest time?

    A. Parents’ demand

    B. Students’ lack of social skills

    C. Students’ bad behavior

    D. The link between their pay and school’s scores

    3.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

    A. Social skills are more important than high scores

    B. Whether students get A’s in school is very important

    C. Graduates from Harvard can’t find good jobs.

    D. Rest time has nothing to do with students’ social skills

    4.What’s the main idea of the text?

    A. The government is to order schools to increase rest time.

    B. Students expect to get more time to play in school.

    C. Parents struggle for the rest right for their kids in school.

    D. Teachers’ pay is related to their performance in teaching.
