阅读理解

    As we know, water is very important for us .Imagine one day, the water taps(水龙头) in your house stop running. You have to buy water from shops. And still there isn't enough for everyone. Your mother has to save the family's shower water to do other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?

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

    Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply(供应). Hannan, an 18-year-old from Lahej, told Times: "In a good week we'll have a water supply 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) person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic(立方)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 seawater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.

(1)、_____________ is the name of the capital city of Yemen.
A、Sana B、Lahej C、Hannan D、Times
(2)、A report shows that Sana will have ____________ as early as 2025.
A、enough drinking water to use B、no drinking water to use C、no private companies D、more water pollution
(3)、What does the underlined word "shortage" in the third paragraph mean in Chinese?
A、充足 B、干旱 C、短缺 D、需求
(4)、We can infer(推断) from the passage that _____________.
A、the poor don't have to worry about the water supply B、the 18-year-old boy is from a poor family C、private companies make a lot of money D、Lahej is a beautiful place
(5)、Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?
A、Yemen is Facing Serious Water Shortage B、How to Make Use of Seawater C、How People Use Water Fully D、How to Save Water
举一反三

 阅读下面短文,根据短文内容选择正确答案。

When I was eight years old,my family moved from Edinburgh to London because my father started a new job here. The new place was far away from my grandmother,so we sometimes spent a couple of hours driving to Edinburgh to visit her when we missed her terribly. Her house was hundreds of miles away but the trip was never boring. 

Grandma never had much. She didn't have expensive things,or live in a nice house. But I could feel with my heart that she loved us deeply,especially when my world was turned upside down two years later. Grandma knew that my mother and father divorced and I lived with my father. I would actually like to live with my mother. 

I still remember those little things. Grandma allowed me to sit on the top of her kitchen table,getting me to dip(蘸)my fingers in the sugar bowl or drink from her coffee cup. Grandma had a beautiful bottle high on a shelf. One day after her death,I received a box. To my surprise,I found the bottle inside. She remembered once I had asked her for it. 

Grandma saved her pennies in a glass jar(罐). She could have used those pennies herself but she kept them for my brother Tommie and me. And I was always excited to divide the pennies between my brother and me. "One for you,one for me. " I would repeat until the jar was empty. I don't remember how much we got on our visits,but I know that's how she loved us and cared about us when we were far away from her. So if I am lucky enough to find a penny lying on the ground one day. I am sure it is just the one from Grandma in heaven(天堂). 

Those childhood memories have never gone away from me. Instead,they still give me great feelings through the years. A Grandma's love stays with a grandchild as long as he needs it. You know,love is just like that.
