People in Shanghai can quench their thirst with high quality water if the Shanghai Water Authority (SWA) is able to make good on its word. It has vowed to make the city’s water match its status as a world class city.

“The current tap water quality meets national standards, but, compared with that of the European Union and the United States, it still needs to be improved.” said the SWA’s director general, Hang Jiayi.

In other developed countries, water fountains can be found almost everywhere—people do not bother with bottled drinking water.

By 2020, the water of the Huangpu River will be treated to reduce the amount of organic waste in it. Major water works that draw water from the Huangpu will need more treatment facilities to improve the colour, texture, ammonia(氨)and nitrogen content before 2010.

These treatment facilities are expected to cost 4 billion yuan, something that could affect the price of water, according to Chen Yin, SWA’s deputy director general.

Chen said that replacing water pipes was also a key project. The city’s aged pipes are mostly to blame for the bad water quality.

The SWA has started the water facilities renovation(更新)work, including the more than 14,000 kilometres of indoor piping, 107,000 tanks on top of the buildings, and more than 6,000 underground facilities.

World Water Day came on March 22, and this year’s theme is “Water for the future”. Beijing is also drawing up plans during China’s Water Week, which runs until March 28.

By 2010, the water for the Shanghai EXPO is to be above World Health Organization standards. And, the people of Beijing will be able to drink their tap water as well.

People in Shanghai can drink their tap water_____.

A. by 2020 B. in the first half of this year C. by 2010 D. by 2008

A. The water of the Huangpu River will be treated. B. Aged water pipes will be treated.

An 18-year-old high school student who had just learned to swim in the last summer vacation saved the life of a drowning Ohio boy on Friday afternoon.

Tom Erickson was credited with (因_{．．．．．．}而受赞扬)saving the life of Jason Pryor,10, in Mill Creek (小河) Park. Young Jason Pryor, from Chillicothe, was visiting relatives from Anchor Point when he fell into Mill Creek.

The Pryor boy had no business playing near the edge of the river, but he had no idea of the danger.

The creek, with much more water than usual for the recent spring rains, flowed fast and carried the boy around a bend and out of sight from his parents, who took Jason out there and said they had not even witnessed the incident.

Luckily for Jason, one of the most unselfish students from Brentwood’s Central High School was taking a walk alone through the park.

As soon as he found the boy struggling in the water, Erickson jumped into the creek and managed to pull the drowning boy out of the water. And it was reported that Erickson had never received any life-saving instruction before.

“I wasn’t sure I could do it,” Erickson said. “I didn’t know if I could swim through the river by myself, not to mention getting another person out with me.”

This incident should be a lesson to young children who do not know how to swim. Stay away from dangerous bodies of water.

Young Jason Pryor lives at _______.

A. Anchor Point B. Chillicothe, Ohio C. Mill Creek D. Brentwood

Which of the following sentences is true according to the passage?

A. Life-saving instruction helped a lot in the incident.

B. Jason’s parents saw him fall into the creek but couldn’t help.

C. The creek flowed fast because it was very straight without any bends.

D. Erickson was not sure if he could save the boy when jumping into the creek.

What’s the possible meaning of the underlined sentence “The Pryor boy had no business playing near the edge of the river,” in the third paragraph?

A. The accident was none of the boy’s business.

B. The boy had no friends to play with him.

C. The boy shouldn’t have played near the creek. ks5*u

D. The boy was very busy and had no time to play.

What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Did You Know the Danger of Water B. Be Responsible Parents

C. The Fast Running Mill Creek D. Beginning Swimmer Saved Drowning Boy

Any car accident is frightening, but an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water, with you trapped inside, is absolutely terrifying.   1  However, most deaths result from panic, without a plan or understanding what is happening to the car in the water. By adopting a brace (支撑) position, acting decisively and getting out fast, you can save yourself from a sinking vehicle.
Brace yourself for impact (撞击力). As soon as you're aware that you're going off the road and into a body of water, adopt a brace position. The impact could set off the airbag system in your vehicle, so you should place both hands on the steering wheel in the "ten and two" position.
Undo your seatbelt.   2  Untie the children, starting with the oldest first. Forget the cell phone call. Your car isn't going to wait for you to make the call.
  3  Leave the door alone at this stage and concentrate on the window. A car's electrical system should work for up to three minutes in water, so try the method of opening it electronically first. Many people don't think about the window as an escape option either because of panic or misinformation about doors and sinking.
Break the window. If you aren't able to open the window, or it only opens halfway, you'll need to break it with an object or your foot. It may feel counter-intuitive (有悖常理的) to let water into the car.   4
Escape when the car has equalized. If it has reached the dramatic stage where the car cabin has been filled with water and it has become balanced, you must move quickly and effectively to ensure your survival.   5  While there is still air in the car, take slow, deep breaths and focus on what you're doing.
A. Open the window as soon as you hit the water.
B. Surviving a sinking car is not as difficult as you think.
C. It takes 60 to 120 seconds for a car to fill up with water usually.
D. Such accidents are particularly dangerous to the risk of drowning.
E. In conclusion, if you know what to do in the water, you will be safe.
F. This is the first thing to attend to, yet it often gets forgotten in the panic.
G. But the sooner the window is open, the sooner you can escape directly through it.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C,D）中，选出最佳选项。

Mike McClure walked into Sarasota Bay for a little fishing on a beautiful day last April. This afternoon, the water was shallow enough at low tide that McClure could easily walk 100 yards offshore and cast(投）his line in any direction.

Near sunset, still without a fish, he decided to turn back. Rather than turn to his earlier course, he chose a more direct path toward shore, thinking the bay wouldn't get deeper along the way. Instead, he was trapped. He tried to walk in different directions, but shallower water eluded(避开）him. Finally, he decided his safest choice was to head straight for land.

"Within about five steps, the water was coming in through the top of the waders(高筒防水胶靴）," says McClure.

He felt the deadweight of the flooding waders pulling him down and knew that if he didn't get out of them, he would drown. But he failed to kick his way out of the waders. Instead, they pulled him completely below the surface.

Back onshore, Eliza Cameron, 19, Loren Niurka Mora, 20, and Caitlin Petro, 20, had been watching McClure fish as they rested on the grass after a long week of classes. They saw McClure go under and then heard him cry, "Help！”

The three friends kicked off their shoes and ran into the bay. They were all good swimmers, but all hid a fear that he might pull them down too because they'd have to dive to save him.

When they reached him, he'd managed to kick himself out the waders, but his eyes had partly rolled back. Cameron and Mora each hooked an arm under his shoulders, while Petro supported his back and held his hand. Then the three friends tried their best to tug him towards shore. Finally, they all returned to shore safely.

56.Mike McClure didn't turn back by his earlier course because _____.

A. He wanted to choose a short course

B. His earlier course was dangerous

C. He just wanted to take a risk

D. He knew where the water was deep

57.What directly trapped Mike McClure in the bay?

A. His wrong decision B. The coming high tide

C. His waders' being flooded D. The depth of water

58.During the rescue, ____.

A. The three women were afraid of being trapped in the water

B.Cameron and Petro helped catch Mike McClure's arms

C. The three women removed Mike McClure's waders

D. Mike McClure still wore his flooding waders
