You may wonder how paving(铺砌)a road can lead to less usable fresh water. A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers. It comes from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.‎ Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages(短缺). Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱) than areas with more rainfall, but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.‎ Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too. In the ‎ United States, a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live, but there’s a lot we can do to lower the number.‎ You can take steps to save water in your home. To start with, use the same glass for your drinking water all day. Wash it only once a day. Run your dishwasher(洗碗机)only when it is full. Help your parents fix any leaks in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.‎ ‎21. Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater?‎ ‎ A. Using river water B. Paving parking lots ‎ C. Throwing batteries away D. Throwing rubbish into lakes ‎22. What can be inferred from the text?‎ ‎ A. It takes a lot of effort to meet our water needs.‎ ‎ B. All water shortages are due to human behavior.[]‎ ‎ C. There is much we can do to reduce family size.‎ ‎ D. The average family in America makes proper use of water.‎ ‎23. The last paragraph is intended to____________.‎ ‎ A. show us how to fix leaks at home B. tell us how to run a dishwasher ‎ C. suggest what we do to save water at home D. prove what drinking glass is best for us ‎24. The text is mainly about_________.‎ ‎ A. why paving roads reduces our water B. how human activity affects our water supply ‎ C. why droughts occur more in dry climates D. how much we depend on water to live B There are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.‎ Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspaper have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.‎ Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.‎ Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called “What Color is Your Parachute(降落伞)?” by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career(职业)since it was first published in 1970.‎ Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W.Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources the help them find the right job.‎ ‎25. What is the passage mainly about?‎ ‎ A. Finding a job B. College students’ part-time jobs ‎ C.

Why does this happen? Should the parents take any measures?‎ On the one hand, people who spend a lot of time in front of the TV, especially teenagers, may snack more, and that may affect their long-term diet quality.‎ On the other hand, TV ads for fast food, sweets and snacks tempt teenagers to eat more of those foods. And TV time might also replace exercise time for some kids.‎ Lead researcher Dr. Dahcia J. Barr-Anderson, of the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, told Reuters Health a clear correlation between TV time during high school and diet quality in young adulthood. While the heaviest TV viewers were eating the most junk food, those who’d watched less than two hours per day had the highest intake(吸收)of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and high-calcium food. In her opinion, parents should limit and monitor TV viewing.‎ As far as I am concerned, children should watch no more than two hour of television per day. And parents should set a good example by eating right, being physically active and curbing their own TV time.‎ ‎29. What’s the best title for this passage?‎ ‎ A.

Whispering Room’s architecture allows for a phenomenon that usually makes people laugh. Once inside the gallery, place one person facing the corner at one end of the room and then place another person facing the corner at the opposite end.
