二、阅读理解（分二节，共35分）

第一节、阅读选择（30分）

A

Look at the Earth from space. Why does our planet look so blue? It’s blue because water covers almost three quarters of the Earth’s surface. Water is not just an important part of our planet. It is an important part of our body, too. More than half of our total body weight is water.

Our body loses water whenever we exercise or go to the toilet. That’s why we need to drink plenty of water every day. We drink water. We use it to cook, clean, and carry waste out of our homes. Farmers use it to grow vegetables and crops like rice and corn；factories use it to make products.

Since the 1950s, the amount（数量）of water people use has increased by three times. But the water supply （供应） hasn’t. Scientists worry that soon there won’t be enough water for us, as well as for the animals and plants that share our world. What can we do to help？Use water wisely.

Having enough water isn’t our only problem. We also need it clean.

Right now, ships and factories are putting wastes into seas, rivers and so on. Even chemicals that farmers use are running into rivers and lakes. All this pollution can make the water dangerous to drink. It can also harm fish and other water-living lives.

We must do something to stop pollution. It’s the best way to protect our world’s most valuable natural resource（ 资源 ）.

Living in China, it is very easy for us to get clean water. However, in many other places around the world, clean water is unavailable. Take Liberia (利比里亚) as an example. Many people there have no choice but to drink dirty water. Every year, many children die of diarrhea (腹泻).

Destinee Whitaker learned this when she entered high school. The problem worried her a lot. The American girl wanted to make a difference. She shared her wish with her schoolmates. Together, they discussed how to help people in Liberia.

The students decided to donate water purification systems (水质净化系统) to Liberia. To raise money, they held bake sales at their school. Finally, they collected enough money. Whitaker gave a check (支票) to people in Liberia. The local people were excited about the “gift”. They were moved by what the students had done.

Remember: Not everyone in this world has what we have. Not everyone lives the way we live. By putting her “big dream” into action, Whitaker changed the lives of many Liberian people. Then, what can you do to make this world a better place?

29．Why do many children die of diarrhea in Liberia?

A video by the name of Dancing on Water: The Chinese Art of Bamboo Drifting ( 漂 流 ) became an Internet hit months ago. It shows people balancing (保持平衡) on thin bamboo poles ( 杆 ), moving along the Chishui River in Guizhou Province. Not only do these people balance on these poles, but they also dance, perform, and play sports.

Bamboo drifting may be strange to the outside world, but to many in Southwestern China’s Guizhou Province, it is an important sport and has a long history. During the Qin Dynasty, the ancient capital of Xianyang in Shanxi Province needed lots of nanmu. They were from the Bozhou district in Guizhou Province. But how could people move them along the Chishui River, the first part of the journey from the nanmu forest in Bozhou?

Guizhou locals solved the problem. They each brought one log (原木) down the Chishui River, stood on their log as it drifted down the river, and guided it toward its next stop, the Yangtze River. From there people moved the logs onto boats and sailed north to the capital.

Later, the Guizhou locals began to challenge each other to jump from log to log, and so, wood drifting was born. During the Qing Dynasty, wood drifting became bamboo drifting, for bamboo is much cheaper.

Today， bamboo drifting is getting increasingly popular in Guizhou, especially among young people. Also, it is a much-loved activity among visitors.

37. Why did Guizhou locals have to bring their logs to the Yangtze River?

A. The Chishui River is deep and narrow.

B. It’s the safest way to send logs to the capital.

C. From there logs could be sailed to the capital.

D. There were too many logs in the forest in Bozhou.

38. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?

A. People in Guizhou were clever.

B. People had much trouble cutting down logs.

C. How people moved logs along the Chishui River.

D. How Guizhou locals brought logs to the Chishui River.

39. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. Bozhou is the birthplace of bamboo drafting.

B. Bamboo took the place of wood because of its weight.

C. Local young people are losing their interest in bamboo drafting.

D. Guizhou locals didn’t perform on water until the Qing Dynasty.

40. What’s the best title of the passage?

A. An Internet Hit B. Bamboo Drifting

C. Valuable Wood D. A Popular Video
