题目内容
2.Imagine one day,the water taps(水龙头) 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,Sana,will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.
Because of the shortage,the government often cuts the water supply(供应).Hannan,an 18-year-old from Lahej,told 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 trucks.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 (平均) person in Yemen uses 100to 200cubic(立方)meters of water per year.That is far below the international water poverty(贫困) line of 1,000cubic 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.

分析 想象有一天,水龙头在你家停止运行.你必须从商店买水.对于每个人仍然不够.你的母亲不得不节约家庭的淋浴水来做其他的事情.你能忍受这种生活吗?
不可能.但这就是也门的孩子们正在经历的.专家说也门将成为世界上第一个用光水的国家.据报道,首都,萨那,将最早在2025年用光所有的饮用水.
因为这种短缺,政府往往切断供水.Hannan,来自于lahej,18岁,告诉时报:"美好的一周,我们都会有一周的供水.但是接下来的那个星期,只会有一天或两天供水."
Hannan说只有有钱人才有足够的水使用.他们可以从商店或从水卡车买水.民营公司有自己的车.他们每天行走在城市以非常高的价格出售水."很多人买不起,"她说.
也门人平均每年使用100-200立方米水.远远低于国际水贫困线的1000立方米.
政府正在考虑利用海水,但它要花费很多,而且这也不可能很快发生去帮助也门的人民.
解答 56.A 细节理解题.根据第二段的句子According to a report,the capital,Sana,will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.可知,也门的首都是萨那,故选A.
57.B 细节理解题.根据第二段的最后一句According to a report,the capital,Sana,will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.中的关键部分run out of drinking 可知,最早在2025年首都萨那将没有水喝,故选B.
58.B 词意理解题.根据第二段的所有内容可知,也门整个国家包括首都萨那都严重缺乏饮用水,所以应该可以判断是说水短缺的意思,故选B短缺.
59.C 推理判断题.可以采用排除法.根据句子Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use.可知只有富人有足够的水用,所以A不正确;B的说法文中没有提及,故不能判断;根据句子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,他们每天以很高的价格穿梭于城市卖水可推断出私人公司挣很多钱,所以C是正确的;
根据句子Hannan,an 18-year-old from Lahej,told 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."
可知,Lahej不是个美丽的地方,经常缺少,所以D也不正确,故选C.
60.D 归纳总结题.根据文章的中心内容和一些句子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.我们可以归纳出短文的题目,故选D.
