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A、B、C、D四篇材料,从每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Have you noticed that some people succeed, while others may not? This is because some people own certain qualities while others don't have. If you want to be successful, you should remember the following things. 

The first thing you must remember is that in order to succeed, you must have a strong wish. If you do not expect to win, you will not try as hard as those who do expect to win. You also need to have a clear purpose and reason for doing something. If you do not have a purpose, you will not do your best to work hard and make sure that every detail you have done is right. 

Reading is another thing to remember, as it will help you learn about how other people have achieved success. If you want to learn how to set up a successful business, you should read books about some successful people who have achieved amazing success in their areas of business, such as Jerry Yang. 

Another thing that helps people succeed is creativity -- thinking about things differently and wondering how others will do the same thing. Think about some successful people you know. They might be successful with a little creativity, but the most successful people are the most creative ones. 

Practicing is essential if you want to succeed because practice makes perfect. Practice every day for the job you are in, and by doing so, you will see yourself, your business and your self-confidence begin to grow. If you feel confident about what you do, this confidence will make other people believe in you more as well. Your workmates will be happy to work with you, and your boss will give you more important things to do. 

Finally, if you succeed, you will get respect from people and do more for our world. 

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B 、C 和 D)中选出最佳选项。

Traditional clothing plays an important role in any country's history and culture. In China, when it comes to traditional clothing, hanfu, qipao and the Chinese tunic suit are the most popular. However, most Chinese people are unclear about them. Here is some information about these three kinds of clothing. 

Traditional hanfu

Hanfu was created for Han people in the beginning. It shows the Chinese mind. Its colour, its style and even the length are about Chinese culture. 

Hanfu first appeared in the Shang dynasty, over 3, 000 years ago. It was popular for a long time in Chinese history from the Qin dynasty to the Ming dynasty. At the beginning of the Qing dynasty, however, it lost its popularity. With growing calls for reviving (复兴) traditional Chinese culture, many Chinese people have taken a liking to hanfu nowadays. 

Qipao

Qipao, also known as the Cheongsam, appeared in the 1920s and remained as the "national clothing" until the 1950s. At first, people made it wide and loose, covering most parts of the body. Yet it was not beautiful and people wanted a more beautiful kind of clothing. So in the 1930s, people made the traditional qipao tight (紧的) to show the beauty of a woman's body. Now, lots of women still like to wear it. 

The Chinese tunic suit

It is also called the "Sun Yat-sen suit", because it was named after Sun Yat-sen, a famous person in Chinese history. It looked simple but good, so it quickly became popular among Chinese men in the mid-20th century. Although other kinds of clothing have replaced it, leaders of China still wear it when going to important events. 

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项 (A 、B 、C 、和 D) 中,选出最佳选项。

Without the Intent or phones, communicating long distance is limited. Yet throughout history, cultures have developed ways to produce messages that travel miles. Morse Code is a system of communication. It uses patterns of signals to send and receive messages, often with a machine called a telegraph. 

A telegraph is a machine that creates different signals from different messages. These signals are then changed into electrical current. They are sent across a wire. They can travel long distances, such as across the country or ocean. Another telegraph receives these signals. The machine changes the signals back into the original message. 

In Morse Code, there are three types of signals. They are dots, dashes, and pauses. Dots (·)are the short noises or flashes of light. Dashes(一)are longer noises or flashes of light. Spaces( )are the pauses. Patterns of these signals represent letters, numbers, and punctuation marks. In Morse Code, letter A is one dot and one dash, letter E is one dot, letter I is two dots. As for consonants, letter C is one dash, one dot, one dash and one dot, letter D is one dash and two dots, Letter T is one dash. 

Morse Code was invented in the United States by Samuel Morse during the 1830s. People soon realized that the code could not transmit all messages in other languages. To fix this problem, a newer version called the International Morse Code was developed. International Morse Code is simpler and more exact. For example, the original Morse Code could only represent a few of the letters. The International Morse Code, on the other hand, is for all letters.
