  In 1901, H.G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers(探险者) landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the "moon people" they met. In turn, the "moon people" expressed their surprise. "Why," they asked, "are you traveling to outer space when you don't even use your inner space?"

  H.G. Wells could only imagine travel to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the "moon people" asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.

  Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The "Chunnel", a tunnel(隧道)connecting England and France, is now complete.

  But what about underground cities? Japan's Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, called "Alice Cities." The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome(太阳能穹顶)would cover the whole city.

  Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth's space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H. G. Wells’ "moon people" would agree. Would you?

56. The explorers in H. G. Wells’ story were surprised to find that the "moon people"____.

  A. knew so much about the earth

  B. understood their language

  C. lived in so many underground cities

  D. were ahead of them in space technology

57. What does the underlined word "it"(Paragraph 2)refer to?

  A. Discovering the moon's inner space.

  B. Using the earth's inner space.

  C. Meeting the "Moon people" again.

  D. Traveling to outer space.

58. What sort of underground systems are already here with us?

  A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations.

  B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.

  C. Gardens, car parks, power stations.

  D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.

59. What would be the best title for the text?

  A. Alice Cities-cities of the future

  B. Space travel with H. G. Wells

  C. Enjoy living underground

  D. Building down, not up

  A new study warns that about thirty percent of the world's people may not have enough water by the year 2025.

  A private American organization called Population Action International did the new study. It says more than three-hundred-thirty-five-million people lack enough water now. The people live in twenty-eight countries. Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East.

  P-A-I researcher Robert Engelman says by the year 2025, about three-thousand-million people may lack water. At least 18 more countries are expected to have severe water problems. The demand for water keeps increasing. Yet the amount of water on 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 problems. Lack of water often means drinking waters not safe. Mr. Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases, such as cholera, which are carried in water. Lack of water may also result in more international conflict. Countries may have to compete for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries. This is true of Egypt, the Netherlands, Cambodia, Syria, Sudan, and Iraq. And the report says lack of water would affect the ability of developing to improve their economies. This is because new industries often need a large amount of water when they are beginning.

  The Population Action International study gives several solutions to the water problem. One way, it says, is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose. Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water. A third way is to use less water of agriculture.

  The report also says long-term solutions to the water problem must include controls on population growth. It says countries cannot provide clean water unless they slow population growth by limiting the number of children people have.

1.According to the author's opinion, the first serious problem caused by lack of water is ________.

[  ]

A.health problem
B.war
C.economy
D.industry

2.Robert Engelman may be ________.

[  ]

A.An Englishman
B.An American
C.A Japanese
D.An Australian

3.________ may have severe water problem among the following countries.

[  ]

A.Egypt
B.America
C.Japan
D.Russia

4.Which of the following is not the way to solve the water problem?

[  ]

A.To control population growth.

B.To teach people not to waste water.

C.To find ways to use water for only one purpose.

D.To use less water of agriculture.

5.Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?

[  ]

A.How to get more water in the future.

B.Problems caused by water.

C.World water shortage.

D.A new study on water.
