21、   Sand is a common sight in the world. But you might not know that sand is also a useful resource (资源).

Sand is the second most-used resource in the world after water, the BBC reported. However, the UN said that sand is not limitless and that we might be running out of it.

Sand is made up of very small pieces of rock, soil and minerals (矿物质). It can take tens of thousands of years to form.

But now we are using sand more quickly than it is being formed. According to the BBC, we use about 15 billion tons of sand every year to build houses, roads and other things.

People also put sand in the sea to make new islands. Singapore, for example, is now 20 percent bigger than it was in 1965. Palm islands are three large man-made islands in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. They took 94 million cubic meters of sand to build.

If people keep using this much sand, it will run out in many places. For example, Vietnam may run out of construction (建造) sand by 2020, Live Science noted.

Since people need so much sand, they are trying to mine (开采) more of it. But this is bad for the environment. Mining sand may cause beaches to disappear and more floods to happen in places close to the sea. Also, this may affect the habitats (栖息地) of many plants and animals.

【1】What does the story tell us about sand?

A.It can only be found on beaches. B.It is the most-used resource in the world.

C.It can never be used up. D.It can be used to build houses.

【2】According to the passage, which country is using sand to build islands?

A.Singapore and Vietnam. B.Singapore and United Arab Emirates.

C.Britain and America. D.United Arab Emirates and Vietnam.

【3】Every year, we use about________tons of sand.

A.94 million B.20 billion C.20 million D.15 billion

【4】We are running out of sand because________.

A.there is only a little sand in the world B.we are using sand too quickly

C.we cannot mine enough sand D.our environment is badly polluted

【5】In places close to the sea, more floods will happen because of________.

A.overmining of sand B.climate change

C.the increasing size of certain islands D.the death of some plants

22、   It may be hard to believe, but the American Revolution—the war that freed the American states from British control—began over a cup of tea. Tea was not the only thing that caused the war, of course, but it played a very big part.

The British people’s love of tea is well-known. When the British won control over much of North America in the early 1700s, they brought their tea-drinking habits with them. Tea quickly became the continent’s most popular drink. As tea could not be grown locally, just as in Britain, it was shipped into the country—mostly from India.

In the early 1700s, the Britain government made a special deal with the East India Company, as an English trading company. They agreed that no other company was allowed to bring tea to Britain or any country controlled by Britain, including America. It was a great deal for the East India Company, since it meant that the company could decide whatever price it wanted for its products. And it always decided on a high price!

In North America, the local people did not like having to pay such high prices. Instead of overpaying for tea from the British, they turned to Dutch traders, who secretly brought tea to the country that was just as good and much less expensive. Although this broke the law, the American people didn’t care. They got the same cup of tea at a much lower price.

The East India Company, however, didn’t like this at all. By the 1760s, they were losing millions of pounds each year to Dutch traders—a huge amount of money in a time when $60 a year was considered a good income. Instead of reducing their prices to compete with the Dutch, the company asked the British government for help and the government agreed.

In 1767, the British introduced new law that increased the prices of all goods which were brought into America. These laws helped make the East India Company even richer and forced local people to pay much more for everything. The American leaders asked the British government not to do so, but the British refused to listen. These unfair laws increased Americans’ anger about British rule and the rest, as they say, is history.

【1】In the early 1700s where did most tea drunk in America come from?

A．China.

B．India.

C．America.

D．Britain.

【2】The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refers to ________.

【3】Why did many Americans begin to buy tea from the Dutch traders?

A．The tea was much cheaper.

B．The tea was a lot healthier.

C．They could buy it more easily.

D．They didn’t want to support the British.

【4】What did the East India Company do to stop losing money?

A．It reduced the price of its tea.

B．It improved the taste of its tea.

C．It introduced a new kind of tea.

D．It asked the British government for help.

【5】What is the passage mainly about?

A．Tea trade in eighteenth-century America.

B．The relationship between America and Britain.

C．A reason for the start of the American Revolutionary War.

D．The introduction of British tea-drinking habits into America.
