22、   AII living things on the Earth need water to live. Yet humans are facing serious water problems. According to the United Nations, today over 663 million people live without a safe water supply close to home.

To remind people of the importance of water, the UN first set up World Water Day in 1993. It is on March 22 each year. From March 22 to 28 is also the China Water Week. The first year’s theme is “Waste water”. It tried to call on people to reuse waste water instead of wasting it.

In Australia people make good use of waste water. Most Australians have a grass lawn around their home instead of washing the car in the street. Many of them wash it on the lawn to keep the grass longer so that it covers the ground and reduce evaporation(蒸发).

Rainwater may seem useless to you. But you can also reuse it. People in Germany collect rainwater to wash their toilets. Most houses in the country that are built in the last few years have rainwater collection devices (设备). Rainwater is collected from the root, and then linked to the toilet. But if you don’t have the device just put a bucket(桶) under your roof when it rains.

Water makes up 71 percent of the. Earth’s surface. But we can only use a very small part of it. Only about 3 percent of the world’s. water is fresh water. It’s in lakes, rivers and underground.

Over 80 percent of the waste water in the world goes back into the nature. It has not been cleaned and pollutes the rivers and lakes. Unsafe water makes around 842 ,000 people die each year.

By 2030, about half of the world’s population could be facing water problem. By 2050, as many as seven billion people across the world could not have enough water supplies. The world’s population might be 9. 3 billion by then.

【1】From Paragraph 1, we can learn that ________ .

A．people around the world are facing serious water problems

B．water is always the most important in our school lives

C．saving water can help us better improve the environment

D．people in different places have different habits to use water

【2】The first year’s aim of the China Water Week was to________ .

A．collect rainwater to wash their toilets

B．remind people of the importance of water.

C．put a bucket under your roof when it rains

D．call on people to reuse waste water instead of wasting it

【3】The word“reduce”in Paragraph 3 most probably means “________”.

A．sit down

B．cut down

C．put down

D．write down

【4】What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?

A．To share his rich knowledge about water.

B．To warn more people to save water.

23、Some people think that they have an answer to the problems of automobile crowding and pollution in large cities. Their answer is the bicycle, or bike.

In a great many cities, hundreds of people ride bicycles to work every day. In New York City, some bike riders have even formed a group called "Bike for a Better City". They claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car engines.

For several years this group has been trying to get city government to help bicycle riders. For example, they want the city to paint special lanes—for bicycles only—on some of the main streets, because when bicycle riders must use the same lanes as cars, there may be accidents. "Bike for a Better City" feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bikes.

But no bicycle lanes have been painted yet. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea. Taxi drivers don't like the idea—they say it will slow traffic. Some store owners on the main streets don't like the idea—they say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike.

The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends, Central Park—the largest open place in New York—is closed to cars, and the roads may be used by bicycles only. But "Bike for a Better City" says that this is not enough and keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown. Until that happens, the safest place to bicycle may be in the park.

【1】The underlined word "automobiles" in the second paragraph means ________.

A．trains

B．cars

C．planes

D．ships

【2】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Special lanes are needed on every street.

B．The Central Park is closed to cars on weekdays.

C．"Bike for a Better City" members ride bicycles to work.

D．Accidents won't happen if cars and bikes are on different lanes.

【3】This passage is mainly about ________.

A．city problems and "Bike for a Better City"

B．"Bike for a Better City" and the city government

C．the government's idea on traffic and city pollution

D．advice on the city problems of traffic and pollution

24、It was raining hard and nearing dark. I was late for an appointment in a nearby city that I know only by GPS. And now my phone has died. The usual exits were closed. I didn’t know how to get where I was going or how to let my appointment know I might not make it there.

I stopped at a fast food restaurant in a poor part of town and walked up to a mother and her teen daughter.

“I’m sorry, but is it possible for me to look up a number on your phone and then call the place and let them know I’m lost?” She handed me her phone and then told me I was lucky she had her phone, for it was getting ready to be off because she didn’t have enough money to pay the phone bill. The young girl and the mother didn't pay me much attention when I made a call. The appointment told me how to get there by another road.

Before I left, suddenly, I reached into my wallet where I don’t usually have cash and pulled out all I had a $20 bill. I gave it into the mother’s hand and then turned to leave quickly. I heard her daughter calling after me, “Thanks, sir. You have no idea how you just helped us.” What’s more, they really helped me.
