The world is not only hungry, it is also thirsty for water. This may seemstrange to you, since nearly 75％of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97％ of this huge amount is seawater, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3％--the fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.
However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water, which is constantly being replaced by rainfall is still enough for us. But our need for water is increasing rapidly almost everyday. Only if we take steps to deal with this problem now can we avoid a severe worldwide water shortage later on. A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry. Let me give you just one small example of how necessary water is to industry. Did you know that to produce a single ton of steel, it takes about 91000 litres of water?
We all have to learn how to stop wasting our precious water. One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done in this field, but only on small scale. The systems that have been worked out are similar to those used in spacecraft.
(1) “The world...is also thirsty for water.” this means that ________.
[ ]
A．the world has not enough fresh water to meet our future needs
B．people all over the world are thirsty for water now
C．we are now facing a serious problem of world-wide water shortage
D．we cannot make use of all the fresh water on earth
(2) According to the passage, only about ________ of the earth's surface is covered with fresh water that can be used.
[ ]
(3) We may face a severe worldwide water shortage in the future because ________.
[ ]
A．the small amount of fresh water is constantly being replaced by rainfall
B．some of it has been polluted
C．some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers
D．our need for fresh water is increasing rapidly
(4) According to the passage, one of the first problems is ________.
[ ]
A．to deal with water problem now
B．to have lectures on the water subject
C．to develop ways of reusing water
D．to work out systems that resemble those used in spacecraft

A growing number of consumers, especially young people , are adopting more Western habits when it comes to spending money—by favoring credit cards over savings.
A survey of 11,500 people in 18 cities by The Nielson Company found the credit card market had witnessed a major change in recent years.
“Today’s consumer is clearly not interested in saving for a rainy day, as may have been the case in the past,” Bega Ng, director of financial services research with the company said. “Consumers have been adopting Western habits and attitudes in almost every way—including saving and spending habits. Consumers in their 20s spend tomorrow’s cash to fund today’s needs.”
The report found consumers aged 18 to 24 were the most eager credit card users.
Although the report did not give the amounts credit card users in each of the 18 cities spent, it mentioned the example of Xiamen, a coastal city in Fujian Province, where consumers put an average of 50 percent of their monthly incomes into their credit card accounts to indulge(沉湎于) in cashless shopping.
Included in the survey for the first time, Xiamen is reported to have a fast growing penetration rate(渗透率) for credit cards, with four out of ten consumers now owning at least one card. With more than half of cardholders in Xiamen owning two or more cards, it is catching up with key “tier one” cities, the report said. The report did not make known the figures in major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
Last year, the same Nielson survey showed Shanghai had the biggest population of credit card holders, with citizens owning 1.8 credit cards on average. Half of them use credit cards at least once a week, the survey said.
Yunfei, 30, from Beijing, said she spent at least 2,000 yuan a month by credit cards, most of which went on daily necessities and dining out.
1.Which of the following best shows the young urbanites’ idea of consumption?
A. Using credit cards in every way.
B. Spending tomorrow’s cash for today’s needs.
C. Owning more cards for cashless shopping.
D. Saving money for future use.
2.How is the situation of credit card use in Xjamen?
A. Forty percent of the consumers own at least one card.
B. Credit card users use up most of their monthly income.
C. The number of credit card users is larger than that in Guangzhou.
D. Over half of the consumers use two or more cards.
3.Which city had the largest number of credit card users according to a previous survey?
A. Xiamen. B. Beijing. C. Shanghai. D. Guangzhou.
4.What is the main idea of the survey reported by Nielson Company?
A. Most credit card users are young people aged 18 to 24.
B. Western habits have a big influence on the Chinese people.
C. The number of credit card users is growing rapidly in Chinese cities.
D. Chinese consumers are no more interested in saving money.

Since the early 1990s, the Internet has greatly changed the way people communicate. But some teachers think the changes are not all for the better.
Eleanor Johnson, an English professor at Columbia University in New York, says, “Ｉthink text messaging has made students believe that it is far more acceptable than it actually is to just make spelling and grammatical mistakes.” She says her students over the past several years have increasingly used less formal English in their writing. She says words and phrases like “you know” now appearing research papers. And she now has to talk about another problem in class---incorrect word use.
Professor Johnson doubts a strong connection between the rise of communication online and an increase in writing mistakes. But she admits there may not be much scientific proof, at least not yet.
David Crystal, a British language expert, says the actively changing nature of the Internet makes it difficult to stay unchanged in studying its effects. But he believes its effect on language is small. He says, “The main effect of the Internet on language has been to increase the expressive richness of language, providing the language with a new set of communicative content that didn’t exist in the past.” Erin Jansen, founder of an online dictionary of Internet and text messaging terms, says his new technology has not changed existing language but has greatly added to the vocabulary. “Basically it is a freedom of expression,” she says, “If it is helping them write more or communicate more, that is great. That is what teachers and educators want---to get students communicating.”
But Erin Jansen and David Crystal agree with Eleanor Jonson on at least one thing. Teachers need to make sure students understand the uses and rules of language.
1. According to the text, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. David Crystal thinks the Internet makes the language expression richer.
B. David Crystal believes the Internet’s effects on language use are clear
C. Eleanor Johnson thinks writing mistakes has much to do with the Internet
D. Eleanor Johnson thinks all the Internet effects on language use are good
2.. Eleanor Johnson is mentioned to _______.
A. share her idea of the great effects of using the Internet
B. tell people a way to correct students’ writing mistakes
C. serve as an example of teachers’ blaming the Internet
D. warn people against the dangers of using the Internet
3. What do the three experts have in common as to the Internet effect?
A. The possibilities of avoiding the use of less formal words
B. The causes of the Internet’s great effects on language
C. The necessity of helping students reduce writing mistakes
D. The importance of students’ knowing how to use language
4.. What could be the best title for the text?
A. Students’ Learning and the Internet: Good or Bad?
B. Students’ Writing and the Internet: Good or Bad?
C. Students’ Papers and the Internet: Good or Bad?
D. Students’ Mistakes and the Internet: Good or Bad?

Why is setting goals important? Because goals can help you do, be, and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.
Successful people imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind (her goal) which can be found on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas. Which driver do you want to be?
Winners in life set foals and follow through on them. They decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set---and they aren’t difficult to reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals really are. You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it. Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. Also when you write your goals in a particular way, you are able to make yourself continuously aware of situations that will bring you nearer to your goals.
1..
The article is written to throw light on ______.
A. the importance of setting goals B. the way of setting goals
C. the winners of competitions D. the goals in life
2..
The example of two drivers is adopted in order to ______.
A. compare the difference of goals B. explain the traffic rules
C. help readers understand the importance of goals D. tell the function of a map
3..
The main idea of the fourth paragraph is that ______.
A. it’s better to write a goal down B. written goals can’t be forgotten easily
C. try to make yourself aware of your goals D. written goals can be reviewed regularly
