A

In learning English,one should first pay attention to (注意) listening and speaking.It is the roundwork of reading and writing.You’d better try your best to speak while you do much listening.Don’t be afraid of making mistakes.But be careful not to let them stop you from improving (提高) your English.While you are doing this,a good way to write—keep a diary,write notes or letters,then if you can,ask some others to go through what you have written and tell you where it is wrong.Many mistakes in your speaking will be easily found when you write.Through correcting (改正) the mistakes,you can do better in learning English.

If you are slow in speaking,don’t worry.One of the helpful ways is reading,either aloud or to yourself.The important thing is to choose something interesting to read.It mustn’t be too difficult for you.When you are reading in this way,don’t stop to look up the words if you can guess their meanings when they have nothing important to do with the sentence.You can do that some other time.

The world is not hungry,but it is thirsty.It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of (短缺) water.Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can’t drink or use for watering plants directly.Man can only drink and use the 3%—the water that comes from rivers and lakes.And we can’t even use all of that,because some of it has been polluted.(污染).

Now more water is needed.The problem is:Can we avoid (避免) a serious water shortage later on? First,we should all learn how to save water.Secondly,we should find out the ways to reuse it.Scientists have always been making study in this field.Today,in most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers.But it can be used again.Even if (即使) every large city reused its water,still there would not be enough.What could people turn to next?

The sea seems to have the best answer.There is a lot of water in the sea.All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water.This is expensive,but it’s already in use in many parts of the world.Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it.So you see,if we can find a way out,we’ll be in no danger of drying up.

6.The world is thirsty because ________.

A.3/4 of the earth is covered with water

B.we have enough sea water to use directly

C.we haven’t used all the water in rivers and lakes

8.From the passage we learn ________.

B.man can only drink and use about 25% of the water on the earth

C.today in most large cities water is used only once

A.Save water and try to make good use of the water in rivers and lakes.

B.Don’t pollute water and keep all rivers and lakes clean.

Men always wanted to fly.For thousands of years they watched birds flying and wished that they could fly too.

Then two brothers tried another way.

They built a balloon.It was made of thin cloth and paper.They lit a fire under it.Up into the air it went.It reached a height of 1 800 metres.

A few months later,the brothers sent up another balloon with a sheep,a duck and a hen in a basket under it.The balloon traveled to a place two and a half kilometers away.In October 1783 a man went up with a balloon but it didn’t rise very high.A month later two men went up in a balloon full of hot air.The balloon rose to a height of 900 metres.The wind blew it along for nine kilometers.Then it came gently back to the earth.Men had traveled through the air for the first time.

Helen and Mary were good friends.They often went out together in the evening.

One evening after they had walked part of the way home together,they had to say goodbye,because their homes were in different directions.

“Be careful on your way home,” Mary said to Helen.“I would be happier if our houses were nearer.” “Me too,” answered Helen.The streets were very quiet at that time of the evening.

The next morning Helen and Mary met at an English class,and Helen said to Mary,“Do you know what happened to me after I left you yesterday evening?”

“No,” answered Mary anxiously.“What happened to you?”

“Well,” Helen said,“while I was walking home along that quiet street near my home,a robber came up behind me and pulled my necklace off my neck and ran away with it.”

“What are you going to do now? Have you been to the police?”

“No,” Helen said with a smile.

“Why not?” ask Mary in surprise.

“Because,” Helen answered,“when the man pulled my necklace,I turned round suddenly and put my hand out to try to stop him.I caught a chain,which he was wearing round his neck,and pulled it off him.My necklace is a cheap one.It was not real silver,but this chain is made of real gold! If I went to the police,I might have to give it to him.”
