The UN passed a rule in the year 2004 to improve the quality of drink water and reduce deaths caused by drinking unhealthy water each year. The UN has already worked out the specific plan to reduce half of the number, that is, five thousand. The UN announced in the world there are about 1/6 of the world population can't meet the sanitation regulation of drinking water.

The water we drink and use is running short in the world. We all have to learn to stop wasting our quite limited water. One of the steps we should take is to find ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done on this field. Today in most large cities, fresh water is used only once, then it runs into waste system. But it is possible to pipe the used water to a purifying(净化)factory. There it can be filtered(过滤) and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again , just as it were fresh from a spring. But even large cities purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Then we could turn to the oceans. All we would have to do to make use of seawater on earth is to get the salt out of it. This method has already been used in many parts of the world.

The Maldives faces the threat of extinction from rising sea levels, but the government said on Thursday it was looking to the future with plans to build homes and a golf course that float.

An increase in sea levels of just 18 to 59 centimeters would make the Maldives -- a nation of tiny coral islands in the Indian Ocean -- virtually uninhabitable by 2100, the UN’s climate change panel has warned.

President Mohamed Nasheed has vowed a fight for survival, and last month he signed a deal with a Dutch company to study proposals for a floating structure that could support a convention centre, homes and an 18-hole golf course. “It is still early stages and we are awaiting a report on the possibility,” a government official said.

The company, Dutch Docklands, is currently building floating developments in the Netherlands and Dubai. There was no immediate comment from the firm but its website said it undertook projects that make “land from water by providing large-scale floating constructions to create similar conditions as on land”.

The Maldives began work on an artificial island known as the Hulhumale near the crowded capital island of Male in 1997 and more than 30,000 people have been settled there to ease congestion. The city, which has a population of 100,000, is already protected from rising sea levels by a 30-million-dollar sea wall, and the government is considering increasingly imaginative ways to combat climate change.

Nasheed, who staged the world’s first underwater cabinet meeting in October to highlight his people’s dilemma , has even spoken of buying land elsewhere in the world to enable Maldivians to relocate if their homes are flooded. He has also pledged the Hulhumale to turn his nation into a model for the rest of the world by becoming “carbon neutral” by 2020. His plan involves ending fossil fuel use and powering all vehicles and buildings from “green” sources.

1. What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. The Maldives plans to build floating homes for the rising sea level.

B. The Maldives’s president signed a deal with a Dutch company.

C. The Maldives staged the first underwater cabinet meeting.

D. The Maldives is considering ways to fight against the global warming.

2. Which statement is true about the Hulhumale?

C. The Hulhumale was built in 1997 and has settled over 30,000 people.

D. The Hulhumale is protected by a 30-million-dollar sea wall.

3. According to the passage, the underlined word congestion means _______.

A. being endangered                     B. being crowded   

C. being flooded                        D. being disappearing

4. Which of the following is NOT Nasheed’s idea?_______

A. To purchase land elsewhere in the world to help Maldivians to relocate if their homes are flooded.

B. To make his nation a model for the rest of the world by becoming “carbon neutral” by 2020

C. To stop using fossil fuel and power all vehicles and buildings from “green” sources.

The United Nations says forty million people or so around the world went hungry in 2008, mainly because of higher food prices. Early estimates from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) show that 963 million people did not get enough to eat.

World food prices have dropped since early 2008. Prices of major crops have decreased by more than half from their height earlier last year. But they remain high compared to earlier years.

    But FAO official Hafez Ghana says lower prices have failed to end the food crisis(危机)in many poor countries. "For millions in developing countries," he says, "getting enough food every day to live an active and healthy life is a distant dream.”

    The FAO says food shortage is a threat to people's health. Today, two-thirds of the world's undernourished people live in just a few countries. These are India, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Pakistan, Ethiopia and so on.

    A report on food insecurity warns that the current economic crisis could send even more people into hunger and poverty.

    In sub-Saharan Africa, the percentage of the people who continually go hungry fell from 34% in 1997 to 30% in 2008. But the FAO says Ghana is the only country that has reached two sets of hunger reduction targets. These were set by the 1996 World Food Summit and the Millennium Development Goals. The main reason is the growth in agricultural production in Ghana.

    The FAO says some countries in Southeast Asia like Thailand and Vietnam have made progress in hunger reduction goals. But South Asia and Central Asia haven't, and North Korea is still in hot water.

1. What FAO official Hafez Ghana says implies _________.

A. it's easy but takes long to provide people with enough food

B. enough food can make people more active and healthier

C. there is difficulty solving the food shortage in a short time

D. people in developing countries will never get enough food

2.Ghana has reached the targets of hunger reduction mainly because of ________.

A. the still high food prices               B. the donation of developed countries

C. the two targets of hunger reduction      D. the growth in agricultural production

3. The underlined word “undernourished” in Para. 4 probably means _________.

A. hungry and unhappy                   B. unhealthy for lack of food

C. not fat because of poverty               D. undeveloped and poor

4. Which country has not made progress in hunger reduction?

A. North Korea          B. Thailand     C. Vietnam      D. Ghana

5.What is the best title of this passage?

A. The food production of the world      B. The hunger reduction target of the FAO

C. The food shortage around the world    D. The solution to the global food shortage
