Imagine one day, the water taps in your house stop running. You have to buy water from shops. And still there isn't enough for everyone. Your mother has to save the family's shower water to do other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?
Probably not. But that's what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts said Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. According to a report, the capital, Sanaa, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.
Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply. Hannan, 18-year-old from Lahej, told the Times: “In a good week, we'll have a water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two.”
Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water truck. Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water-at very high prices.
“A lot of people can't afford it,” she said. The average person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic meters of water per year. That is far below the international water poverty line of 1,000 cubic meters.
The government is thinking of making use of seawater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.
（1）The purpose of the text is to _______.
A.tell us what life is like in Yemen
B.draw our attention to water shortage
C.remind us how important water is
D.show us ways of solving problems
（2）The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refers to .
A.buying water from shops
B.drinking dirty water
C.suffering from water shortage
D.washing clothes with used water
（3）Hannan described .
A.what her life is like
B.how beautiful Lahej is
C.how people use water fully
D.how heavy the traffic in Lahej is
（4）We can infer from the text that .
A.Sanaa will run out of water in 10 years
B.Hannan is a teenager from a rich family
C.the capital of Yemen is developing fast
D.private companies make a lot of money
【答案】
（1）B
（2）C
（3）A
（4）D
【解析】这是一篇说明文，介绍了也门水资源短缺，人均用水远远低于国际水贫穷线。
（1）考查写作意图。文章讲述了也门水资源短缺，人均用水远远低于国际水贫穷线。作者写这篇文章的目的是引起人们对水资源严重困乏的注意。故选B。
（2）考查词义猜测。根据第一段中的“You have to buy water from shops. And still there isn't enough for everyone. Your mother has to save the family's shower water to do other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?” 你必须从商店里买水。但仍然不够每个人使用。你妈妈必须把家里的淋浴水存起来做其他事情。你能忍受那种生活吗？这些正是也门孩子们正在经历的：水资源短缺。根据题意，故选C。
（3）考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“In a good week, we'll have a water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two.”在好的一周，我们都会有一周的供水。但接下来的一周，只会有一两天的水。可知，描述了他的生活是怎样的。故选A。
（4）细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Sanaa, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.” Sanaa将在2025年用完饮用水，故选项A错误；根据第三段中的“In a good week, we'll have a water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two.”在好的一周，我们都会有一周的供水。但接下来的一周，只会有一两天的水，可知Hannan并没有生活在富有的家庭，故选项B错误；选项C并未提及；根据倒数第三段中的“Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water-at very high prices.” 私人公司拥有卡车。他们每天都在城里四处卖水，以极高的价格出售水。可推知私人公司会挣很多钱。故选D。

I’m Li Hua, a senior three student in our school. Last Monday I received three America students. We had a wonderful time. And I tasted the pleased feeling of friendship.
In the afternoon, after divided into two groups, we began to work for the coming English speech context. Just as I was wondering what to do next, I saw a familiar figure passed by our classroom. It was my English teacher. I wondered that he would say. He said that it was a competition that everyone would like to take part in it. He added that was pretty fluent with English, but I needed to arrange my time good.
In the evening, at about half past ten, we finished working. I don’t know the result, but I’m sure without our help, winning the championship will be the effort.

【题目】阅读理解
He was once referred to as the Picasso of poetry. Beloved by Chileans of all classes, he is one of the most widely read and respected poets in history. And this year is the 100th birthday of Pablo Neruda (1904-1973).
Born with the name Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basolto, he was a tall, shy and lonely boy. He loved to read and started to write poetry when he was ten. The American poet Walt Whitman, whose framed picture Neruda later kept on his table, became a major influence on his work.
However, his father did not like the idea of having a poet for a son and tried to discourage him from writing. To cover up the publication of his first poem, he took the pen name Pablo Neruda.
In 1924 Neruda gained fame with his most widely read work “Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair'. Yet his rich experience as a diplomat and exile made him go beyond the theme of love. His work also reflected the political struggle of the left and development of South America. He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971.
Neruda loved the sea which he saw as creative, destructive and forever moving. He found inspiration in the power and freedom of the waves and the seabirds on the coast. “I need the sea because it teaches me,” he wrote. “I move in the university of the waves.” He loved how the sea forever renewed itself, a renewal echoed in his work.
（1）The underlined word “Picasso” can probably be replaced by “________”.
A.most important person
B.famous person from Picasso
C.freedom fighter in Picasso
D.poem fan
（2）Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basolto took the pen name Pablo Neruda because ________.
A.literary greats usually used the pen name
B.his father encouraged him to use the name
C.he wanted to prevent his father knowing the publication
D.he was greatly influenced by other poets
（3）Which of the following is not the theme of his works?
A.Love.
B.Political struggle.
C.Social reform.
D.Development of South America.
（4）The last paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A.the sea gave Neruda vast writing inspiration
B.the beautiful scenery along the Chile coast
C.Neruda's poems were widely read overseas
D.Neruda loved to write his poems near the sea

"I didn't hear them call my name," explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. "Are you ready?" is what she heard. Then she said, "I shook my head no, and then they said 'yes' and it was announced again."
It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana — she was still on cloud nine.
"I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen." Present in the audience that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.
Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there, AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete. "She's always been my role model. I've danced with her since I was six. She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her."
One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the rough days. She said, "I write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot, a lot..."
As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving, in addition to many other things to help the youth.
When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, "Don't let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way, it is easy to be yourself."
（1）What do the words "on cloud nine" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.frightened
B.troubled
C.very happy
D.very angry
（2）Shelley takes her dance teachers as a role model mainly because she is ________.
A.determined
B.friendly
C.strict
D.experienced
（3）What suggestion does Shelley give to the teens?
A.Be yourself with the support of friends.
B.Meet friends whenever possible.
C.Go easy on yourself and others.
D.Have a good role model.

【题目】根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。
The gray-haired lady can't wait to leave the building to search for her dad. Unless watched, she will walk in the streets in an effort to find her father, who died 30 years ago.
Not all cases of Alzheimer's disease look like this, but Alzheimer's is a serious disease that is said to be the fourth or fifth leading cause of death for people over age 75. It is said that about three percent of the U.S. population over age 65 have Alzheimer's. In the early stages; people may exhibit short-term memory loss. Some may experience changes in personality, easy to be angry. As the disease progresses, patients might lose the ability to move and may be unable to speak or move at all. This progressive disease generally lasts 8 to 10 years before death occurs.
While no one is certain what causes these changes in the brain's nerve fibers, their effect is certain. Alzheimer's destroys not only the patients, but also spouses（配偶）, friends and families.
What should you do if you notice progressive memory loss in yourself or a loved one? Have the person examined by a doctor who is a specialist in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Though many reasons other than Alzheimer's disease may cause memory loss, its early diagnosis（诊断）and treatment may delay some of the most serious effects.
What feeling will you likely experience if a loved one suffers from Alzheimer's disease? A person will often go through the various stages of sadness, shock, anger, and so on. If the spouse develops the disease, you may experience hurt and disappointment when he or she doesn't remember you are married.
Life for the Alzheimer's patients and their loved ones will never be the same as the disease progresses, bringing a deep sorrow, loss and even anger towards God. No matter what feelings are present, facing them honestly will serve one better than burying them.
（1）What can be inferred from the passage about the gray-haired day?
A.She has been living with her father.
B.She suffers from Alzheimer's disease.
C.She can't search for her father without being watched.
D.She was sad about the death of her father.
（2）When people suffer from Alzheimer's disease, ________.
A.their families and friends will experience mental sufferings
B.their families and friends will suffer from the same disease
C.they will certainly die in 8 to 10 years
D.they will forget everybody but their spouses
（3）Memory loss occurs ________.
A.from Alzheimer's disease and nothing else
B.for a number of reasons
C.from sadness, shock, anger, and so on
D.with changes in personality
（4）From the passage we know that .
A.early treatment may stop Alzheimer's disease occurring
B.when one suffers from Alzheimer's disease, he will be buried
C.nerve fibers in the brain will cause Alzheimer's disease
D.it is still unknown what causes the changes in the brain's nerve fibers

【题目】根据短文内容，请将单词填写在题号对应的横线上。
There are good reasons to value our friendships.Some years ago a public-opinion research firm,Roper Starch Worldwide,asked 2007 people to name one or two things that said the most about themselves.Friends far outranked homes jobs, clothes and cars.
“Ironically,” says Brant R.Burleson, professor of communication at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Ind., “the better friends you are, the more likely you'll face conflicts.” And the outcome can be what you don't want—an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended.
Swallow your pride. It wasn't easy, but that's what Denise Moreland of Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii did when a friendship turned sour.For nearly four months,Moreland,45,had watched over Nora Huizenga's two young daughters, who were living with their father on the base,while Huizenga,40,completed training as a dental hygienist in Nevada.“I felt honored to be asked to step in,” Moreland says.
“When Huizenga returned at Christmas,” Moreland recalls,“I had so much to tell her, but she never called.”
One daughter had a birthday party, but Moreland wasn't invited. “I felt like I'd been used,” she says.At first, Moreland swore to avoid Huizenga.Then she decided to swallow her pride and let her friend know how she felt. Huizenga admitted that she'd been so worried about being separated from her family that she'd been blind to what her friend had done to help her. Today she says, “I would never have figured out what happened if Denise hadn't called me on it.”
When a friend hurts you, your instinct is to protect yourself.But that makes it harder to solve problems,explains William Wilmot,author of Relational Communication.“Most of us are relieved when differences are brought out in the open.”
Apologize when you're wrong—even if you've also been wronged.But over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. “We don't think clearly when we're arguing,” says Michael Lang,a professional mediator (调解人) in Pittsburgh. Instead, says Lang, ask: “What's going on? This doesn't make sense.”
See things from your friend's point of view. Sociologists Rebecca Adams Rosemary and Blieszner interviewed 53 adults who each had many friendships lasting decades. “We were curious how these people managed to sustain strong friendships for so long,” says Blieszner. Tolerance is key, the researchers learned.” It's surprising how often a dispute results from a simple misunderstanding,” adds psychotherapist Anne Frenkel.
Accept that friendships change. “Friendships change as our needs and lifestyles change,” Wilmot observes.
Making friends can sometimes seem easy,says Yager.The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that affect all relationships.Her suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift,and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.
Title: Keep on your friendships | ||
Our friendships should be | According to a survey, friends are more than other things like homes,jobs and cars.However ,the better friends you are, the more you may face more conflicts. | |
to mend a broken friendship | Swallow your pride | When a friendship is damaged,it only makes things worse to escape from reality.Instead,we should lay down our self-esteem and our feelings straight forwardly to our friends. |
Make an apology when you are mistaken | We should arguing since it makes no sense at all. | |
differences | We'd better learn to put ourselves in our friends' shoes. In many cases, a simple misunderstanding can to disputes. | |
Accept the change of friendships | We should be of the fact that friendships change as our needs and lifestyles change. | |
Conclusion | Friendship is an honor and a gift, and it is worthwhile efforts to cherish and nurture. | |
