三、阅读 （共分两节，满分45分）
第一节 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑
A
Napoga is a 12-year-old girl in Ghana, Africa. It is hard for her family to get clean water. Every morning, she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her family in a village far away. It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They can’t get enough clean water to keep healthy.
Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource on Earth. Water covers 70% of the Earth’s surface (表面). But most of that is sea water. We can’t use it for many things. Fresh water covers only 1% of the Earth5 s surface.
You probably feel lucky that your life isn’t as hard as Napoga’s. But that doesn’t mean you don ’ t have to worry about water. We all face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers, lakes, and seas dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish too. Now, 34% of all kinds of fishes are dying out. Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won’t have enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children.
26. Why does the writer tell the story of Napoga
A. To tell us a lot of people in the world can’t get enough clean water.
B. Let us know people in Africa need enough clean water to drink.
C. To tell us to help people who don’t have enough clean water to use.
D. To tell us to help Napoga go to school and make friends with others.
27. What kind of water do people really need
A. Sea water. B. Dirty water. C. Fresh water. D. Sweet water.
28. What’s the last paragraph mainly (主要地) about
A. Some of us still have enough water to use.
B. Everyone should know we are facing water problems.
C. Dirty water is bad for all living things on the Earth.
D. More than half of the fishes died because of water pollution.
29. What can we know from the passage
A. Napoga uses five hours to get water from a village.
B. Earth Day is on April 22 every year.
C. We can use 1% fresh water.
D. Thirty-two percent of fishes are disappearing.
30. What’ s the best title of the passage
A. An African girl. B. Clean water. C. Earth Day. D. Water problems.
B
Do you drink water every day Is it clean Perhaps your answer is yes. But 900 million people around the word don’t have clean drinking water. Without clean water, they get sick more easily. That’s why these two ideas are so great! They can make a big difference to a lot of people.
The Life Straw (吸管)
This straw cleans water when you drink through it. It is small and easy to carry. With it, you can get clean and drinkable water anywhere you go. It is cheap and can last more than six months for most people. Therefore, you don’t have to spend much money on it and worry about getting a new one often.
The Q Drum
This new box helps people carry clean water to their homes. In the countryside, many women and children often have to walk for a long time to get clean water for their families. Then they have to carry it back to their homes. They repeat this every time they need water, so they have to make several trips each day. But water is heavy! It is difficult for them to carry the water box home. The Q Drum solves this problem. You don’t have to lift it. You can roll it home. With it, there is no need to carry 50 kilograms of water.
31．What does the underlined word “They” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A．Clean water. B．900 million people.
C．The Life Straw and The Q Drum. D．People getting sick.
32．Who will like the two great ideas
A．People getting ill easily. B．People living in the countryside.
C．People with little money. D．People without clean drinking water.
33．What do we know about the Life Straw and the Q Drum
A．The Life Straw can usually last for less than half a year.
B．The Life Straw costs people much money.
C．The Q Drum can help people get the water easily.
D．The Q Drum is a new box that people have to lift it.
34．Why are the two ideas so great
A．Because they help many people drink more water.
B．Because they can help many people get clean water.
C．Because they can help sick people drink water.
D．Because they make it easier for people to carry water home.
5．Where can you probably find this passage
A．In a newspaper. B．In a diary. C．In a storybook. D．In a sports magazine.
C
The world uses about a thousand million (百万) tons of water a day. Water is a human right and everyone should have their share. Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water.
Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. 80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all, and it is running into oceans. But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater.
While 75% of our planet is covered with water, only about 2% is fresh water—that comes from rivers, lakes, ice and snow. The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to drink. Then desalination businesses come in. More than 19.000 factories have been built around the world, mostly in coastal countries. They process (加工) more than 92 million tons of water every day. But the technology they use requires a lot of energy.
Scientists are working to create a less costly technology. They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough. But for now, the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone.
36. How many people have trouble in getting clean water around the world
A. Under 10 million B. Only 19 million.
C. About 92 million. D. Over 700 million.
37. Treating wastewater helps the environment by _____.
A. storing waste in ice and snow B. letting waste run into oceans
C. keeping waste out of rivers and oceans D. sending waste to coastal countries
38. What does the underlined word "desalination" in Paragraph 3 mean
A. 远洋运输 B. 潮汐发电 C. 食盐销售 D. 海水淡化
39. At present, the technology to process water_____.
A. needs much energy B. saves much money
C. satisfies everyone D. causes pollution
40. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Water should be a human right. B. The water problem is still serious.
C. Our planet is covered with water. D. Everyone has enough clean water.
D
We all know that water is important for life. But how much water should we drink
Usually for most of us eight glasses of water every day might be OK. But those who live or work in warmer environments need to drink more water. That is because they lose more water than us.
55 70% of our body is made up of water, but it cannot replenish （补充） water itself. So drinking water helps balance health. Here are some important rules about drinking water.
1. Drink often throughout the day to prevent dehydration （脱水）. After getting up or one hour before meals, it is helpful to drink a glass of water.
2. Usually we can drink beverages （饮料） like tea or coffee instead of water. Of course, some fruit juice or milk has some water in them, but water is still the best drink.
3. Some people do not have the habit of drinking often. They only drink when they are thirsty. In fact, when we feel thirsty, the body is already short of water. It is too late to drink water.
4. In your office or your home, put a full glass of water out and drink from it whenever you see it. In this way, you are on the right path to drinking enough water.
41. How much water should we drink every day
A. Eight glasses. B. As much as we can. C. Four glasses. D. At least eight glasses.
42. When is a good time to drink water according to the passage
A. At any time of a day. B. Before we get up.
C. When we are thirsty. D. One hour after meals.
43. What does Rule 3 mainly tell us
A. Our body is losing water. B. Drink before feeling thirsty.
C. We must always drink water. D. Eat less to keep healthy.
44. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A. Sometimes we can drink green tea instead of water.
B. We also need to drink water when we don, t feel thirsty.
C. When you are thirsty, it is best to drink green tea or fruit juice.
D. A farmer working outside on hot days needs to drink more water.
45. What is the best title for the passage
A. Water and food. B. Always drink enough water.
C. Water is the best drink. D. The importance of water.

16．句意：当年轻人找到智者的时候，他正在河边的一座小房子里阅读。
sleeping睡觉；playing玩；reading阅读；fishing钓鱼。结合文中“the wise man put down the book”可知，智者当时正在读书。故选C。
17．句意：智者带着微笑，放下书，听年轻人说话。
smile微笑；fear害怕；surprise吃惊；interest兴趣。结合语境可知，智者是带着微笑与年轻人交谈。故选A。
18．句意：先来帮我烧一壶水吧！
tea茶；water水；drink饮料；coffee咖啡。结合文中“The young man saw a big pitcher(水罐)…he went out for it”可知，年轻人在为烧水做准备。故选B。
19．句意：他把柴火放在炉子里，点燃了它。
lit点燃；warmed温暖；sat坐；boiled烧开。结合文中“but because the pot-was too large, when the wood burned out, the water did not boil.”可知，年轻人把柴烧完了，还是没有烧开水。故此处表示点燃了柴火。故选A。
20．句意：这次，他变聪明了。所以他不再着急去点火，而是再去找一些柴火。
look at看；look for寻找；look into调查；look up查阅。结合文中“went out to…some firewood again. ”可知，这次他找了足够的柴火。故选B。

23．句意：你一开始有这么多想要的东西，设置了太多的目标。
objects物体；goals目标；channels频道；plans计划。结合文中“just as the large pot was filled with too much water but you didn’t have enough firewood”可知，年轻人设定太多目标就像壶里的水太多一样，很难达到目标。故选B。
24．句意：如果你并不想让这些水烧开，你最好倒掉一些水。
empty倒；fill填充；add加；drink喝。结合“the large pot was filled with too much water”可知，由于水太多，故智者建议年轻人倒掉一些水。故选A。
25．句意：当他回去的时候，他从他的计划中删除了许多列出来的目标，只留下了最近的一些，而利用业余时间他学习各种各样的爱好。
hard艰难的；spare空闲的；good好的；daily日常的。根据句意，前文讲到删除了一些目标，留下了一些目标，故推测爱好是利用业余时间来进行的。故选B。

It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They can’t get enough clean water to keep healthy.
Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource on Earth. Water covers 70% of the Earth’s surface (表面). But most of that is sea water. We can’t use it for many things. Fresh water covers only 1% of the Earth5 s surface.
You probably feel lucky that your life isn’t as hard as Napoga’s. But that doesn’t mean you don ’ t have to worry about water. We all face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers, lakes, and seas dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish too. Now, 34% of all kinds of fishes are dying out. Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won’t have enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children.
26. Why does the writer tell the story of Napoga
A. To tell us a lot of people in the world can’t get enough clean water.
B. Let us know people in Africa need enough clean water to drink.
C. To tell us to help people who don’t have enough clean water to use.
D. To tell us to help Napoga go to school and make friends with others.
27. What kind of water do people really need
A. Sea water. B. Dirty water. C. Fresh water. D. Sweet water.
28. What’s the last paragraph mainly (主要地) about
A. Some of us still have enough water to use.
B. Everyone should know we are facing water problems.
C. Dirty water is bad for all living things on the Earth.
D. More than half of the fishes died because of water pollution.

Do you drink water every day Is it clean Perhaps your answer is yes. But 900 million people around the word don’t have clean drinking water. Without clean water, they get sick more easily. That’s why these two ideas are so great! They can make a big difference to a lot of people.
The Life Straw (吸管)
This straw cleans water when you drink through it. It is small and easy to carry. With it, you can get clean and drinkable water anywhere you go. It is cheap and can last more than six months for most people. Therefore, you don’t have to spend much money on it and worry about getting a new one often.
The Q Drum
This new box helps people carry clean water to their homes. In the countryside, many women and children often have to walk for a long time to get clean water for their families. Then they have to carry it back to their homes. They repeat this every time they need water, so they have to make several trips each day. But water is heavy! It is difficult for them to carry the water box home. The Q Drum solves this problem. You don’t have to lift it. You can roll it home. With it, there is no need to carry 50 kilograms of water.

C
The world uses about a thousand million (百万) tons of water a day. Water is a human right and everyone should have their share. Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water.
Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. 80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all, and it is running into oceans. But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater.
While 75% of our planet is covered with water, only about 2% is fresh water—that comes from rivers, lakes, ice and snow. The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to drink. Then desalination businesses come in. More than 19.000 factories have been built around the world, mostly in coastal countries. They process (加工) more than 92 million tons of water every day. But the technology they use requires a lot of energy.
Scientists are working to create a less costly technology. They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough. But for now, the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone.
36. How many people have trouble in getting clean water around the world
A. Under 10 million B. Only 19 million.
C. About 92 million. D. Over 700 million.
37. Treating wastewater helps the environment by _____.
A. storing waste in ice and snow B. letting waste run into oceans
C. keeping waste out of rivers and oceans D. sending waste to coastal countries
38. What does the underlined word "desalination" in Paragraph 3 mean
A. 远洋运输 B. 潮汐发电 C. 食盐销售 D. 海水淡化
39. At present, the technology to process water_____.
A. needs much energy B. saves much money
C. satisfies everyone D. causes pollution
40. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Water should be a human right. B. The water problem is still serious.
C. Our planet is covered with water. D. Everyone has enough clean water.
【答案】DCDA B
【解析】“水是生命之源”，我们的生活离不开水。但地球上的水资源是有限的，全世界很多地方的人们仍然没有办法获得干净、安全的水。现在我们有了一项新的技术，可以处理和再利用废水，但它需要大量的能源，因此科学家们正在努力创造一种成本更低的技术。
36 细节理解题。根据短文第一段最后一句话Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water.可知，有超过7亿人在获得清洁、安全的水方面存在困难。由此可知应选D。
37.细节理解题。根据短文第二段Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans.可知，处理废水可以使废物远离河流和海洋，从而有利于保护环境。由此可知应选C。
38.词义猜测题。根据单词所在的上下文语境The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to drink. Then desalination businesses come in.，地球上98%的水在海洋里，是咸水不能喝，然后下文More than 19.000 factories have been built around the world提到了很多处理海水的工厂。由此可推测desalination的意思应该是“海水淡化”，故应选D。
39.细节理解题。根据短文第三段最后一句话But the technology they use requires a lot of energy.可知，现在处理海水的技术需要大量的能量。由此可知应选A。
40.推理判断题。根据短文最后一句话But for now, the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone.可知，现在，世界每天仍然面临着没有足够的水供每个人使用。由此可知现在水问题仍然非常严重，故应选B。

【范文赏析】
As we all know, plants and animals need water. We human beings need water, too. As the saying goes, water is the symbol of life. Without water，there will be no life on Earth. So in order to make rivers and lakes clean, we must try our best to stop all kinds of pollution. What’s more, we should remember not to waste or pollute water in our daily lives.
If we can do these things, I think water will become cleaner and cleaner and the world will be more and more beautiful.
