【题目】

The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and I’d been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt: “The trouble with you is that you won’t put yourself in my place. Can’t you see things from my point of view?” I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I’d thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.

If you come by right now, ”the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.

I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasn’t he as busy as the others?

In the dentist’s office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.

When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, “Don’t worry. The dentist is very good.

How long do I have to wait for him?” I asked impatiently.

Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork,”the assistant said.

The artwork?” I was puzzled.

The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.

What a relief!

【题目】For the people living in the Nile Basin, the river is their life. This 6, 825 km waterway, whose watershed (流域) covers three million square kilometers, flows through mountains, woodlands, lakes and deserts. Its potential for fishing, tourism and shipping is great—but so are its challenges.

Water shortage, already serious in Egypt and Sudan, will soon influence several other countries in the watershed as well. Today, about 160 million people depend on the Nile River for their living. Within the next 25 years, the district's population is expected to double, adding to the demand brought about by growth in industry and agriculture. The frequent drought (干旱) adds to the urgency.

Water quality is also a problem. Precious soil is washed out to sea. Wastes from industry and agriculture create pollution. Higher concentrations of salt influence irrigated soils. Water-borne diseases continue unchecked. In areas where it's hot and damp, water hyacinths choke off lakes, dams and other sections of the river, making it difficult for fishing and other businesses to move forward.

Native people along the narrow area of farmland have watched the sand move closer day by day. They've seen the river change course, and their only source (来源) of water thickened with mud. They're very poor and have few choices.

But a new program, the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI), is offering very practical assistance. The program is more than just a water-management project. It's a plan for the social and economic development of a vast district: it concentrates on the needs of the poorest of the poor and the environment that supports them.

These are whole ecosystem problems, calling for united solutions (解决办法). Half the Nile Basin's countries are among the world's poorest nations; yet, somehow, they must find the resources, skills and political will to overcome these challenges.

【1】 What are the great challenges the Nile Basin faces?

A. The development of shipping industry.

B. Overfishing of native people.

C. Water shortage and water quality.

D. Increasing population and tourism.

【2】 The underlined word "hyacinths" in Paragraph 3 refers to "__________"

A. animals

B. plants

C. rocks

D. salts

【3】 The program NBI is mainly aimed at __________.

A. preventing water pollution

B. changing the river course

C. improving living conditions of the poor

D. preventing land from becoming desert

【4】 What would be the best title for this passage?

A. People's Life in Egypt and Sudan

B. Frequent Drought in Egypt and Sudan

C. The Poorest Countries in the Nile Basin

D. The Ecosystem Problems in the Nile Basin
