The water we drink and use was running short. We all have to learn what

to stop wasting water. One of the steps that we should take are to find ways of

reusing it. Today in the most large cities, fresh water is used only once and

then it runs in waste system. But that is possible to pipe the used water to a

purifying factory, there the used water can be treated with chemical materials

by the workers so that it can reused. But even if every large city purified and

reused it’s water, we still would have enough water.

In a small open courtyard, outside a school building, there were flowers here and there. In the sunshine, a  36  was lying on the grass, reading a book with  37  concentration. Near her, another child was carefully watering the flowers, while a third was  38 with his back against a tree and had a  39  on his knees. He appeared to be drawing or writing something on it. He was _40  in his task, like the first child.
_41  the building, there were pleasant carpeted areas. Many children were busy with their tasks in a variety of  42  , while teachers wandered among them, talking to them,  43  them, and encouraging their efforts.
_44  I watched this scene on a morning in May years ago, it  45  to me that a visitor here would  46  have thought be had entered a formal school. He would have been even more  47  if he had been told that the children he was  48 came from different kinds of academic levels.
That  49 has been staying with me ever since. I have been  50 about some problems. Why in many schools are our children  51 asked to acquire skills in a way  52  from a real-life context(情境)? Why does a  53 school child so often become a defeated school failure?
Developmental psychologist Margaret Donald once said,”  54 of the intellectual framework (知识框架) on which we  55 our teaching is misleading.” In my opinion, a child learns everything in human situation. And if every child could learn in the same way as the children in the school I visited, they would develop better.

The world is not hungry, but it is thirsty. It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can’t drink or use for watering plants directly. Man can only drink and use the 3% the water that comes from rivers and lakes. And we can’t even use all of that, because some of it has been polluted.

Now more water is needed. The problem is: can we avoid a serious water shortage later on? First, we should all learn how to save water. Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it. Scientists have always been making study in this field. Today, in most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers. But it can be used again. Even if every large city reused its water, still there would not be enough. What could people turn to next?

The sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea. All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water. This is expensive, but it’s already in use in many parts of the world. Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it. So you see, if we can find a way out, we’ll be in no danger of drying up.

1.The world is thirsty because ___________.

2.Which of the following is TRUE?

3.From the passage we learn that __________.

第二节：（共5小题；每小韪分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有多余选项。

  51  The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide and other green house gases, which are closely associated to the big problem of global-warming．

Strategy 1: Bring your own cup to Starbucks

You’ll get a 10 cent discount, and it’s one less paper cup to end up in a landfill．While you’re there, pick up some free bags of spent coffee grounds to use as  ‘‘green’’  fertilizer in your garden．

The payoff:   52 

Strategy2: Turn off your computer

When in standby mode, your PC is still using energy．  53 

The payoff: Turning off a monitor for 40 hours a week may only save $5 a month, but it reduces CO2 by 750 pounds

Strategy 3: Reuse plastic bags

Instead of throwing away 100 billion plastic bags a year, try and get a second, third, or tenth use out of them．Better yet, next time you shop, try a reusable bag．

The payoff:   54 The amount of oil it would take to make just 14 plastic bags would run your car for one mile．

Strategy4: Use recycled paper in the bathroom

Most of the toilet paper we use is made from trees found in forests previously untouched by humans．

The payoff: If every household replaced one roll of toilet paper with a recycled one, 424000 trees would still be standing．Look for eco paper towels too．

Strategy5: Buy energy-efficient appliances（电器）

Replace the old fridge with an Energy Star appliance and you’ll use 15 percent less energy．  55  

The payoff: If we all used one Energy Star appliance at home, it would be like planting 1．7 million acres of new trees．

E．The store won’t create more waste when they throw away a cup．

F．The store won’t create more waste when they throw away a cup.

G．Just one tree will help make cleaner air and save the environment from 5000 pounds of hot carbon dioxide each year.

It is love that makes the world go round. And it is also love that has such power to overcome all difficulties. So we say: “Love will find a way.” As smile is a facial expression showing pleasure, affection, and friendliness, it is the commonest way to show our good will perfectly without saying anything. A Chinese saying runs: “never hit a person who is smiling at you.” It is a time-proven fact that the smile is a language all its own— a universal language—understood by the people of every nation in the world. We may not speak the same tongue as our foreign neighbors, but we smile in the same tongue. We need no interpreter for thus expressing love, happiness, or good will.
One day while shopping in a small town in southern California, it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerk whose personality contradicted mine. He seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase. I bought nothing, and marched angrily out of the store. My anger toward that grew with each step. Outside, standing at the corner, was a dark-complexion young man in his early twenties. His expressive brown eyes met and held mine, and in the next instant a beautiful, dazzling smile covered his face. I gave in immediately. The magnetic power of that shining smile drove away all bitterness within me, and I found the muscles in my own face happily responding. “Beautiful day, isn’t it?” I remarked, in passing. The, suddenly something inside me sent me turning back. “I really owe you a debt of gratitude,” I said softly. His smile deepened, but he made no attempt to answer. A Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby. The woman stepped forward and eyed me inquiringly. “Carlos, he no speak English,” she volunteered. “You want I should tell him something?” In that moment I felt transformed. Carlos’ smile had made a big person of me. My friendliness and good will to ward all mankind stood ten feet tall. “Yes,” my reply was enthusiastic and sincere, “tell him I said ‘Thank you!’” “Thank you?” The woman seemed slightly puzzled. I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave. “Just tell him that,” I insisted. “He’ll understand. I am sure!” Oh, what a smile can do! Although I have never seen that young man again, I shall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning.
From that day on, I became smile – conscious, and I practice the diligently, anywhere and everywhere, with everybody. When I got excited in traffic, taking the right – of – way (公路用地) from the other car with my stupid mistake, I’d smile and shrug my shoulders apologetically. This action on my part would always draw a good – natured smile in return. If the other fellow was at fault – and if I could remember my resolution in time! – he’d get a broad smile of understanding. This took a bit of doing at first. I’ll admit it wasn’t always easy, but it was fun. The results were sometimes amazing. Many times, a broad, friendly smile would completely turn aside ill – feeling and tension. I’m wondering now how many tragic add dents could be avoided on our overcrowded highways, if every driver remembered to smile!
