江苏省沭阳县2020-2021学年七年级下学期英语期中阶段性达标测试卷
I live in a house near a river. It's an old house about 100 years old, and it's not big. There are two bedrooms upstairs but no bathroom. The bathroom is on the first floor next to the kitchen and there is a living room with an old fireplace.
There is a garden in front of the house. There are many flowers in the garden in spring(春天). I live alone (独自)with my dog, Boxer, but my friends often come to see me. I love my house, because I love the garden, the flowers in spring, and the fireplace. But I like the view(风景) from the window of my bedroom best.
Until the beginning of July, there has been no rain in northern Italy for over 100 days. Add to that the high temperatures, and the locals get very dry conditions. This is the most serious dry spell（干旱期）for that area in the past 70 years. Because of this situation, the country's longest river, the Po, is drying up!
This is bad news for several different reasons. The fresh water of the Po provides drinking water for northern Italy. Besides, farmers in this area need the water of the Po to keep their crops growing. What's more, the flowing river water is used to create about half of the hydroelectric power（水力发电）for Italy. Its drying up means that more natural gas（天然气） will be used, which is bad for the environment.
There have been some interesting discoveries from this lack of rain, however. Between Florence and Milan, a long ship sunk （沉没）in 1943 appeared because of the low water levels of the river. Now many tourists and locals come to see this ship. A German tank has also appeared out of water near Mantua. At other places along the river, people can even walk on the sandy river bed. Although this may be interesting, people in Italy and around the world are hoping for the return of rain to refill the Po!
