However, many people in Asia and Africa don't have enough clean water to use. The World Health Organization reports that almost 4,000 children die each day of dirty water or lack (缺乏) of water. Farmers use 70-85% of the world fresh water to produce food. People usually don't pay much attention to how much water industry(工业) uses, but you may be surprised to know that industry uses 59% of the water in developed countries. Home use takes up(占据) only 8% in the world. But as cities grow, more water will be used. The local government has to try to make people use less water. In 60% of European cities, people are saving water by using less. They even keep waste water for other use. In Australia, the government has encouraged people to collect rainwater and recycle water from showers for a second use. The US Environmental Protection Agency has made a water saving program to encourage families and businesses to check their water use and save more water. Scientists and the UN are looking for good water management as the key to solving the problem. We can all work together to protect our fresh water in our daily life. 41. In developed countries, most water is used by industry. 42. People in Asia have enough clean water to use. 43. To save water, Australians and Europeans both choose to recycle water for a second use. 44. According to the passage, scientists have found good ways to deal with water problems. 45.

But now it has become a popular outdoor activity. While rock climbing may still be necessary for mountain climbing, most people just climb low mountains for fun. If you have ever done rock climbing, you will know that it is not a very easy sport. Indoor and outdoor rock climbing both need practice. What most people don’t know is that rock climbing is one of the sports that depend on your body and mind(意志). To climb successfully, one must use wonderful skills. One of the important rules is to always have three parts of your body on the rock face. Another important rule is that your arms only hold you close to the rock face while your legs are pushing you up, the closer you are to the rock face, the easier it is to climb. Rock climbing is a wonderful sport. Once you start to learn how to climb, you'll find more fun. People who like games such as chess playing or problem-solving may love rock climbing, because they are nearly the same in the way of thinking. For anyone who wants to get into beautiful shape, rock climbing is a fun and good way. Anyone who enjoys a difficult game and loves the outdoors should think of taking rock climbing as a new hobby. 50. When did rock climbing become a sport? A. In 1900. B. Early in the 1900s. C.

If you are like a lot of people, you probably have at least one credit card. Also, you might use it more often than you probably should. Credit cards first became popular in the 1920s, At that time, businesses, such as hotels and companies, gave credit cards to their best customers(顾客). Unlike today's credit cards, customers could only use these cards at the Store or business that gave out the card. Customers had to pay for things in full. They couldn't pay for something a little at a time. In 1950, a businessman named McNamara started a credit card company — Diners Club. Unlike earlier credit cards, this card could be used by customers at many restaurants. Customers liked the card because they didn't have to carry a lot of cash with them. Restaurant owners liked the card, too. Why? They found out that customers usually spent more money when they could pay by credit card. In its first year of business, Diners Club issued 200 cards, The customers who got the cards from the Diners Club could use them at 27 different restaurants. Today, Diners Club has about 8 million customers, and they can use their cards in over 7. 6 million businesses in more than 200 countries. 53. What can we know about the earlier credit cards from the passage? A. They could be used everywhere. B. Customers had to pay for things in full. C. They were very popular before the 1920s. D. Everyone could get this kind of credit card. 54. The underlined word "issued" here probably means " ". A. showed B. took C. borrowed D. provided 55. This passage is mainly about . A. part of the development of credit cards B. how to use cash C. the number of people who use credit cards in the world D. how credit cards help businessmen 【主旨大意】本文主要讲述了信用卡的发展过程。 53. B。从这句话“Customers had to pay for things in full.”得出答案。 54. D。根据下文意思,得出词义“提供”。 55. A。纵观全文,得出答案。 第Ⅱ卷(共50分) Ⅶ.完成句子;根据所给中文意思,完成下列各句。(共5小题,计10分) 56. 他性格外向,喜欢交朋友。 He is outgoing and likes ____________________. 答案:making friends / to make friends 57. 每天放学后,我们可以散散步来放松自己。 We can ___________________ to relax ourselves after school every day. 答案:go for a walk / take a walk / walk 58. 日本大地震后,世界各地的人们给予了很大帮助。 When the big earthquake hit Japan, people __________________________ helped a lot. 答案:all over(around/throughout) the world / from different parts of the world 59. 在去电影院的路上,他听到了这个消息。 He heard the news __________ to the cinema. 答案:on his (the) way 60. 由于“世园会”的举办,西安今年会迎来更多的游客。 Because of the "Expo", more _______________ will come to Xi'an this year. 答案:visitors/ tourists/ travel(l)ers Ⅷ.短文填空。 用方框中所给词的适当形式填空,使短文完整正确。 old, shoe, stand, foot, pick, small, feel, clear, need, use Learn to share(分享) One day, while I was sitting in my car in a parking area, I noticed a young boy in front of my car.

Just as the movie Capital of the United States is Hollywood, the movie capital of India is Bombay (孟买), but it is usually called "Bollywood", a combination(结合) of the words Bombay and Hollywood. No Bollywood movie is thought complete without a few songs and dances. In fact, music is an important part of Bollywood movies. Even a bad movie can still do well if the music is good. Music directors are sometimes more popular than the film stars. A Bollywood movie has five to six songs with at least three songs to show what the dances mean. Bollywood may be different from Hollywood in music, but it is very like Hollywood in several ways. If Tom Cruise can hold a gun, so can the Bollywood hero Sharukh Khan. Hollywood stars are followed by news reporters just as often as Hollywood stars. The persona! lives of actors and actresses catch the headlines(头版头条), just as they do in the United States.

They usually start to do this at the age of 10. School students have to do homework and study for exams. They don’t have free time from Monday to Friday. So they do chores only on weekends. Younger kids only do chores. So they don’t get much money. But that’s OK. Many of them only want to buy candy. And candy is cheap! They help do the dishes after the dinner, and feed the family cat or dog. When they get older, kids want to buy more things. They want things that are more expensive than candy. Then they have to work harder! They often wash the family car, cut the grass, walk the dog or cook dinner. Doing chores is a good way for kids to learn new things. For example, they can learn how to cut grass or how to cook. Of course, their parents help them at first.查看更多
