【题目】Imagine one day, the water taps (水龙头) in your house stop running. You have to pay a lot of money to buy water from shops. And still there isn’t enough water for everyone. Your mother has to save the family’s shower (洗澡) water to use for washing clothes. Then she has to use that same dirty water to wash other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?

Probably not. But that’s what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts say Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. According to a World Bank report, the capital, Sana, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.

Because of the water shortage (短缺) in Yemen, the government often cuts the water supply. Hannan, an 18-year-old from Lahej，told the Times, “In a good week we’ll have a water supply (供给) 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 (平均的) person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic meters of water per year. That is far below the international water poverty（贫困）line of 1,000 cubic meters.

The government is thinking of making use of sea water. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.

【1】The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refers to ______.

A. drinking water B. buying water from shops

C. suffering from water shortage D. washing clothes with used water

【2】Which of the following is not true?

A. Common people in Yemen don’t have enough water to use.

B. People in Yemen have no water to use during a bad week.

C. Rich people in Yemen buy water at very high prices.

D. Private companies in Yemen sell water on their trucks.

【3】It can be inferred(推断) that ______.

A. the capital of Yemen is developing fast

B. Hannan is a teenager from a rich family

C. Sana will run out of water in 10 years

D. private companies selling water make a lot of money

【4】The Yemen government ______.

A. can do nothing about the problem of water shortage

B. may try to make use of sea water

C. only cares about rich people’s lives

D. has found a practical solution
