    The world is not only hungry, it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 75% of the earth is covered with water. But about 97% of this water is sea water. Man can only drink and use the other 3% fresh water that comes from rivers, lakes, underground and other places. And we cannot even use all of that, because some of this fresh water has been made dirty.

At the moment, this small amount (数量) of fresh water is still enough for us. However, our need for water is getting greater and greater. Only if we take steps to solve this problem now, we can get away from a serious world water shortage later on. The people of the world cannot have an enjoyable life without enough clean water.

    On one hand we should stop wasting this little water of ours, on the other hand we should find ways to reuse it, but this has not been done widely.

    Today, in most large cities, water is used only once and it then returns to the sea or runs into underground places. If we can make it clean again, it can be used once more just as if it were fresh from a spring.

    But even if large cities reuse its water, we still would not have enough in the future. Where could we turn to next for water? To the ocean! How can we do to make use of this great amount of sea water? We can take the salt from the water to make it fresh.

    So if we take all these steps, we’ll be in no danger of drying up!

1. Why does the writer say that the world is thirsty for water?

   A. The amount of fresh water is really very small.

   B. The people of the world waste too much water.

   C. The people of the world have to drink a lot of water every day.

   D. There are too many people in the world needing water.

2. From the passage we know that fresh water doesn’t come from _________.

   A. rivers           B. lakes             C. underground     D. the sea

3. The underlined word shortage in the second paragraph means _______in Chinese.

   A. 问题           B. 短龄             C. 缺乏           D. 资源

4. The writer thinks that people in large cities should __________.

   A. stop the used water from getting into underground

   B. only use the water from the rivers

   C. make their used water clean again

   D. use as much sea water as possible

5. In order to solve the problem of water shortage, we have to __________.

   a. make use of sea water on the earth.

   b. save as much fresh water as possible 

   c. reuse the water from large cities

   d. stop people from using too much water

   e. only use the 3% of the water on the earth

左栏是五位中学生对他们碰到的一些困惑的陈述，右栏是老师给予他们的一些建议。请将你认为合适的建议与困惑配对。

     现在，许多中学生沉迷于玩电脑游戏，荒废了学业。有的家长整天忙着谋生对此了解甚少，并且缺乏跟学校老师沟通。为了了解学生中玩电脑游戏的情况，某学校家长委员会组织了专项调查。下文是一位学生的调查报告，请仔细阅读后完成信息卡中的各项内容。

    Now computer games are very popular among middle school students. Half of male students in our class like playing computer games very much .Though our teachers and their parents tell them not to play games any more again and again, they play the computer games daily and they don't go to school. They spend a lot of time playing computer games each time, so they often ask their parents for money or borrow money from their classmates. Some students even use mobile phones to play the games in class. They don’t listen to the teacher carefully and usually forget to do their homework. I think it’s really bad for their lessons.

    Playing computer games wastes money and it is also bad for the students’ health and study. So I hope those who have got the habit of playing computer games could give it up as soon as possible.
