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 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 girl 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 sea water. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.
29. ______is the name of the capital city of Yemen.
A. Sana B. Lahej C. Hannan D. Times
30. 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
31. What does the underlined word “shortage” in the third paragraph mean in Chinese
A. 充足 B. 短缺 C. 干旱 D. 需求
32. 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 girl is from a poor family
C. private companies make a lot of money
D. Lahej is a beautiful place
C
One morning a boy went home with his father. They noticed a pair of old shoes by the roadside. They thought the shoes might be a poor man’s. In fact, the owner of the shoes was working in the field nearby, and he had nearly finished his work.
The boy said to his father, “Let’s play a trick on the man—we hide his shoes, and wait to see what he will do when he can’t find them. ”
“My boy, we should never have fun by tricking other people like that, ”answered his father. “Instead, let’s put a coin in each of the shoes, and watch what he will do. ”The boy did so, and then they hid nearby.
The man soon came back to get his shoes, but when he put his foot into one of his shoes, he felt something in it. He bent(弯曲)down and found the coin. Surprise appeared on his face. He looked at the coin for a minute, and then looked around, but nobody could be seen. He then went on to put on the other shoe, but he was even more surprised to find the second coin. He then went down on his knees, looked up to the sky and said thanks aloud. He said his wife was ill and his children were hungry. He wanted to buy some bread for them.
The boy was deeply moved. “Now, ”said his father, “you must be much more pleased than if you had played your trick. ”The boy replied, “You have taught me a lesson which I’ll never forget. Now I understand these words, which I didn’t understand before: ‘It is more blessed(神圣的)to give than to receive. ’”
33. How did the boy want to deal with the shoes first
A. To hide the shoes. B. To steal the shoes.
C. To put coins in the shoes. D. To return the shoes.
34. How many coins did the man find
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
35. What would the man do after he got the coins He would______.
A. give them to his wife B. buy a pair of new shoes
C. give them back to the boy D. buy some bread for his family
36. At last, the boy knew______.
A. it was funny to play tricks B. it was good to help each other
C. it was better to give than to receive D. it was wrong to put coins in the shoes

As he is very careful with it, so it still looks as good as new. ____37_____He shook his head. “Then how did you get it ”I asked. “Well, ”he answered, “there’s a strange true story about the umbrella. About ten years ago, I was walking along a quiet London street one evening when it suddenly rained. I had no raincoat or umbrella. Gradually(渐渐地), it grew quite dark. And the people in the streets were fewer and fewer. As I was on my way to a party, I was afraid to get wet. So I stood in a doorway and waited for the rain to stop.._____38_____What was worse, there even wasn’t a person around, and still it rained and rained.

writer angry others for sorry better forgiving first idea book story shoes
What can you do when someone hurts you Most people may get 32 or even fight with the one who hurts him or her. But it’s not a good 33 . The best way is to forgive(原谅)them.
Although it is not easy 34 us to forgive people who hurt us, it is possible, “Forgiveness makes you hopeful. And it is good for our health, ”says Fredric, the 35 of the book called Forgive for God.
But how can we forgive 36
37 , think of something beautiful and try to get yourself happy.
Second, don’t wait for others to say sorry to you. If the people hurt you, he or she won’t say 38 to you. They may just want to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. Third, try to see things in others’ 39 . You can write a letter to yourself from the offender’s(触犯者)point. That can make you understand others 40 and make yourself happier.
At last, don’t forget to forgive yourself. For some people, 41 themselves is the biggest challenge. And it also makes you more confident.

六、阅读表达(10分)
We sometimes say the lion is “the king of the jungle” because it is stronger and more dangerous than the other animals. It can run faster than most other animals and it can hunt better. The lion is the highest animal in the land food chain. In the sea the shark is at the top of the food chain. It can swim faster than most other sea animals. It can also use its big teeth to catch other sea animals and eat them.
What is at the top of the world’s food chain Humans are! We are not the biggest or fastest, but we are the cleverest. We could not run faster than most animals, so we invented cars and now we can move fastest. We could not fight better than lions, so we invented guns. Now we can hunt the best.
People’s inventions are clever, but they can be dangerous, too. For example, many years ago, in Inner Mongolia, people used guns to kill a lot of wild wolves. The wild wolves usually eat wild rabbits. But in recent years, the number of wild rabbits is becoming bigger and bigger because the number of wild wolves is getting smaller and smaller. The wild rabbits competed for the grass with the sheep and cows. 44Much of the grassland became desert because it was seriously destroyed by the rabbits.
Remember that we are a part of the food chain, so we are in danger, too!45If we protect animals, we are protecting ourselves.
42. Which animal is the king of the jungle
43. Why are people at the top of the world’s food chain

I love playing basketball. So in ten years, I will play basketball in my free time.
