3.For many kids in Africa,the colorful PlayPump(踏水车)is the first playground thing they have ever seen.When the children give it a push and jump in for their first ride,smiles of wonder appears on their faces.The fun of going round and round in a circle is just part of the wonder.The wonderful invention doesn't only change the kids'play time,but also makes a big difference to the people's lives.
As the merry-go-round starts,it pumps(泵送)clean water up from deep underground and keeps it in a huge tank(桶).People are welcomed to come and help themselves to get the water for free.They are very happy these days.
In the countryside of Africa,very few people could drink clean water.They don't have machines that can get water in their homes.Instead,they often walk a long way to carry water back.
Patricia Molope,a fifteen-year-old girl,explains that before her village in South Africa got a PlayPump,people would pay a taxi driver to take them to a well far from their homes."Sometimes the taxi drivers were so busy that we would have to stop taking showers in order to save water.It was so far to walk there,but at present we have our own clean water in the village,and the life is better,too."
The hard job of carrying water usually is done by women and girls.Carrying water for miles and hours each day is such a heavy job that it sometimes prevents girls from being able to go to school.
Thanks to the PlayPump,getting water is quicker and easier-----and even boys join in.The pumps have become a new activity.Kids and adults seem to love playing with them while collecting water.
A boy named Khumalo,twelve years old,says,"I have seen many kinds of water pumps,but have never seen one that can keep water.When I grow up,I want to be an inventor so I can also invent clever things like the PlayPump that will help my country."
So far,more than 800PlayPumps are being operated in schools and neighborhoods in four African countries,providing water for almost two million people.

分析 对于非洲的孩子来说,压水井是他们在操场上见到的第一个东西.当孩子们第一次参与的时候,脸上露出了笑容.
压水井的发明不但给孩子们带来了乐趣,但同样也给人们的生活带来了巨大改变.
通过压水井,可以将地下水转移到地上的水桶中,人们来这个地方获得自己需要的生活用水.
在非洲的农村,人们很少能够喝到干净的水.他们没有运送水的工具,因此他们必须长途跋涉去取水.
一位名叫Patricia Molope的女孩说,在没有压水井之前,他们需要乘坐出租车去很远的地方,有时出租车司机非常忙,因此他们必须减少洗澡用水,但是现在村子里有了压水井,我们的生活也变好了.
取水的工作通常都是由妇女和女孩完成的.由于这会花费很长的时间,因此女孩几乎不能去学校;
压水井的实现使更快更简单的获得了水源,而且男孩子也可以帮助他们.
到现在为止,在非洲的四个国家已经有800个压水井,可以为将近200万人提供干净的生活用水.
解答 81.B.细节理解题.根据When the children give it a push and jump in for their first ride,smiles of wonder appears on their faces.可知,孩子们在用压水井的时候,首先进行的是压,因此这里的答案是B.push it first
82.C.词义猜测题.根据The wonderful invention doesn't only change the kids'play time,but also makes a big difference to the people's lives.也就是段落前一段的最后一句可知,压水井的发明不但给孩子带来了快乐,还改变了当地人的生活,随后描述人们通过"它"从地下泵送干净的水到自己的水桶里,因此这里的它表示的是压水泵,即C.PlayPump
83.C.细节理解题.根据Sometimes the taxi drivers were so busy that we would have to stop taking showers in order to save water.It was so far to walk there,可知,这个女孩取水时要打出租车,但是有些时候出租车司机很忙,因此他们就必须节约用水,走着到取水的地方实在太远了,题目中说对于Patricia Molope她说取水很困难的原因是什么,根据上面的描述,是因为路途遥远,即C.The only place to get water was far away from home.
84.A.推理判断题.根据When the children give it a push and jump in for their first ride,smiles of wonder appears on their faces.可知,只需要压压水井就可以得到水,而且根据通篇文章,并没有提到从压水井中得到水是收费的,因此A错误;根据The wonderful invention doesn't only change the kids'play time,but also makes a big difference to the people's lives.可知,不仅孩子们获得了快乐,而且方便了当地人民的生活,因此孩子和父母都会受益,因此B正确;根据Thanks to the PlayPump,getting water is quicker and easier可知,压水井的发明,使得非洲人都更容易获取干净的水,因此C正确;根据So far,more than 800PlayPumps are being operated in schools and neighborhoods in four African countries,providing water for almost two million people.可知,到现在为止,在非洲的四个国家已经有800个压水井,可以为将近200万人提供干净的生活用水,因此D正确;
85.D.文章主旨题.根据文章的内容,首先描述的是非洲人们获得干净的生活用水是多么的困难,但是由于压水井的发明,使得非洲人民可以更简单的获取干净水,且到目前为止,已有200万非洲人民受益,因此文章的主题就是介绍压水井这个伟大的发明,即答案为D.PlayPump is a great invention in the world.

First of all,you should learn to save before you buy.When you receive money,you should save some of it,maybe 30%.After this,spend what you want.Secondly,you'd better watch your money.Don't trust other people with it.Don't lend money and don't try to buy friends.If friends want your money,they aren't real friends.Another piece of advice is to buy only what you can afford.If that MP5 player or iPhone costs more than you have,then you don't need it.Don't borrow money for it,either.If you really want something,you can save for it.Saving teaches discipline(自律).Also,after you have saved up enough money,you may realize you don't really want it after all.Finally,you are supposed not to compare what you have with what your friends have.That expensive iPad of your friend may be borrowed or paid for with borrowed money.
There is an old saying:"Give a person a fish and he will eat for a day.Teach a person how to fish,and he will eat for the rest of his life."This is also true when we teach our children about money.Don't buy everything your children want.If you teach them good habits,they will always look after their money.
