There is a river in Indonesia where you can hardly see the water because of pollution. It’s the Citarum River. It’s a sad thing for millions of people who depend on this river for a living.

The river became dirty many years ago and now it has got worse over time because of the waste from houses and factories. In fact, people have poured about 6 million tons of human waste into this river. The government has done many things to clear up the Citarum River, but it seems fruitless.

Yusuf Supriyadi, a 54-year-old rice farmer, lives next to the “world’s dirtiest river”. He depends on it to irrigate (灌溉) a small rice land in West Java that supports his family of six.

The farmer’s rice yield is now down by two-thirds in the rainy season as more and more waste goes into the river. But he has no choice. “Pollution makes me grow less and less rice. If I keep going, I’ll lose money, but if I don’t, I’ll have no other job,” Supriyadi said.

Like Supriyadi, around 80% of West Java’s population are in danger because of the polluted river. They depend on it for irrigation, washing and even drinking. Now the government has decided to take action again.

“We are not playing around this time,” said Djoko Hartoyo, a spokesman. “We hope to make the Citarum River’s water drinkable by 2025, just like it was 50 or 60 years ago.” It sounds impossible, but I do believe that doing something is always better than doing nothing.

21．What can we know about the Citarum River from the first two paragraphs?

A．It’s not long before the river turned dirty.

B．The government did little to clean up the river.

C．The waste into the river is mainly from houses.

D．The Citarum River in Indonesia was badly polluted.

22．How many people are there in Supriyadi’s family?

A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six.

23．Supriyadi chooses to keep growing rice because ________.

A．he can’t find another job B．it’s good for the Citarum River

C．the government asks him to do that D．he can make enough money from it

24．How does the writer feel about what the spokesman said?

A．It’s not clear. B．It’s useless. C．It’s a little boring. D．It’s difficult to do.

25．The writer writes this text to ________.

A．call on people to fight pollution B．ask people to help the government

C．introduce a dirty river in Indonesia D．show the importance of clean water

As we all know, Tian Gong Space Station has been the pride of our country. What many people don’t know is that the astronauts face many risks every day. Besides the unknown risks, the space junk has become one of the main problems.

According to the latest survey, there are hundreds of millions of pieces of space junk floating around the earth. And these are just the things that we can see from the surface of the earth by telescopes （望远镜）. There are also millions of smaller pieces of junk that we can’t see.

Objects, like bits of old space rockets or satellites（卫星）, move around the planet so fast that even a very small piece can break important satellites or become dangerous to astronauts. If the tiniest piece of junk crashed（碰撞）into a spaceship, it could be harmful to the vehicle（轨道）.

To make things worse, when two objects in space crash, they break into many smaller pieces. For example, when a U.S. satellite hit an old Russian rocket in 2009, it broke into more than 2, 000 pieces, increasing the amount of space junk.

To reduce additional space junk, countries have agreed that all new space tools can only stay in space for 25 years at most. Each tool must be built to fall safely into the earth’s atmosphere（大气层）after that time. In the upper parts of the atmosphere, it will burn up.

Many scientists also suggest different ways to clean up space junk. In England scientists are testing a metal net that can be fired into space junk. The net catches the junk and then pulls it into the earth’s atmosphere to burn up. The Germans are building robots that can collect pieces of space junk and bring them back to Earth to be safely destroyed.

“The problem is becoming more challenging because we’re sending more objects into space to help people use their mobile phones and computers,” says Marco Castronuovo, an Italian space Researcher.

“The time to act is now. The longer we leave the problem, the bigger it will become,” he says.

26．What does the underlined word “these” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．New telescopes. B．Old satellites. C．Space junk. D．Other Planets

27．Why is space junk considered a problem?

A．Because it may crash into other space tools causing damage or death.

B．Because it could force new space tools to travel at slower speeds.

C．Because it burns up after it re-enters the atmosphere after 25 years.

D．Because it will be used by aliens to know much information about us.

28．Countries want future space tools to be able to fall back into the earth’s atmosphere so that ________.

A．the space tools can be reused later B．the tools won’t become space junk

C．the influences of space flight can be studied D．the aliens won’t become angry

29．How do the Germans plan to deal with space junk?

A．By building robots to collect it. B．By burning it in the earth’s atmosphere.

C．By sending it away from the earth. D．By destroying it in the outer space.

30．In which part of the newspaper would you probably read this article?

A．Entertainment. B．Local News. C．Education. D．Environment.

七、话题作文

例文：

Ocean is very important to human. Protecting ocean is becoming a focus for us all.

 It will cause serious problems if Japan pours the nuclear waste water into the sea. The waste water will not only destory the homes to the fish, but also pollute the water we drink.

It’s our duty to protect the ocean. First of all, we should not pour the rubbish into the sea. The rubbish will pollute the ocean and make the fish lose their homes. Next, we need to clean the river and lake. Last but not least, we are supposed to make ships environmentally friendly. It is helpful to the ocean.

From my point of view, we should stop polluting the ocean from now on. We all need to raise awareness of these problems. It now becomes necessary for us to take action now, before it is too late!
