Supermarkets， shops and outlets(经销店) in China can’t offer plastic bags any more.Every year， people use too many plastic bags. They throw them here and there after they have used them. The government has done its best to deal with them but failed. While we offer quick service（服务） to customers， the plastic bags pollute water，earth and air， and they waste the oil. The government asks people to go back to carry cloth bags and use baskets when they go to buy something. The cloth bags and the baskets can be used again and again.Many months have passed. The environment has been improved a lot.ActionMake a decision to stop the use of 41.42.Supermarkets， shops and outletsAdvantageOffer43. service to customersDisadvantagePollute water， earth and air and waste44.What should we doGo back to carry cloth bags and use 45.41.__________

So you know how important water is to us .46.___________( )46. A. importantB. most importantC. more importantD. different
BThe world is not only hungry，it is also thirsty for water． this may seem strange to you，since nearly 75% of the earth is covered with water． But about 97% of this water is sea water．Man can only drink and use the other 3% fresh water that comes from rivers，lakes，under-ground and other places． And we cannot even use all of that，because some of this fresh water has been made dirty．At the moment，this small amount(数量) of fresh water is still enough for us． However，our need for water is getting greater and greater． Only if we take steps to solve this problem now，we can get away from a serious world water shortage later on． The people of the world cannot have an enjoyable life without enough clean water．On one hand we should stop wasting this little water of ours，on the other hand we should find ways to reuse it，but this has not been done widely．Today，in most large cities，water is used only once and it then returns to the sea or runs into underground places．lf we can make it clean again，it can be used once more just as if it were fresh from a spring．But even if large cities reuse its water，we still would not have enough in the future． Where．could we turn to next for water? To the ocean! How can we do to make use of this great a-mount of sea water? We can take the salt from the water to make it fresh．So if we take all these steps，we'll be in no danger of drying up!( )26． Why does the writer say that the world is thirsty for water?A． The amount of fresh water is really very small．B． The people of the world waste too much water．C． The people of the world have to drink a lot of water every day．D． There are too many people in the world needing water．
29． The writer thinks that people in large cities should __________ ．A． stop the used water from getting into undergroundB． only use the water from the riversC． make their used water clean againD． use as much sea water as possible
30． In order to solve the problem of water shortage，we' have to________．a． make use of sea water on the earthb． save as much fresh water as possiblec． reuse the water from large citiesd． stop people from，using watere． only use the 3% of the water on the earthA．a and eB．a，b and cC．b，c and dD．a，b and d
阅读理解 判断给出的语句是否正确，正确的在括号内写(T)不符的在括号内写(F)Do you still get free plastic bags from the supermarkets? Things have changed.China has banned free plastic bags at shops and supermarkets, and people have to pay for using plastic bags.The rule started on June 1. It came because our country tried to make litter less、 Making super—thin plastic bags has also been banned.The Chinese once used about 3,000,000,000 plastic shopping bags a day, and they have caused pollution of the environment. The bags have become a main cause of plastic pollution because they are not easy to break and people throw them away here and there. So the Chinese people are encouraged to bring their own bags for shopping.What kind of shopping bag is the best to bring? Some students in Chongqing have a good idea. They make their own shopping bags. They use old clothes to make cloth bags, and send them to their parents as presents. They also ask their parents and friends to use cloth bags instead of plastic ones. They think it is their duty to protect the environment.( ) 21、 People in China have to pay for using Plastic bags at shops and supermarkets now.( ) 22、 China made this rule because plastic bags were bad for the environment.( ) 23、 The Chinese people are encouraged to bring their own bags for the shopping.( ) 24、 Some students in Chongqing buy cloth bags for their parents.( ) 25、 The main idea of the article is that the bags have become a main cause of plastic pollution.

It is widely accepted that English is the global language of modern times.About three decades ago,French was recognized as the language of diplomacy（外交）,and German was considered the language of science and technology.English now dominates（主导）not only as the language of science but also diplomacy,computing,and tourism.Today,in terms of native speakers,Mandarin Chinese is the world′slargest language.Yet there are people who believe that China will become the most powerful country in the world.Some have?even fixed the date as early as the year 2020.At present,while English is more widely spoken than any other?language,there are more people who speak Chinese than English due to the large population in China alone.If China?does become a world power,there is no doubt that this language will spread worldwide.As the controversy over which language will become dominant in the world continues,there are many who feel?that the dominance of English is unique and irreversible（不可逆的）.However,a separate study from David Graddol′s suggests that English′s dominance in the scientific area will continue.There is also an argument that the?English language would be changed greatly by 2020 for various reasons.With the possibility of China rising as a?world power,Mandarin could definitely challenge the dominance of English as a global language.The author says that Chinese is expected to spread worldwide if__________.A.China becomes a real world powerB.China has a larger populationC.China has the modern technologyD.more tourists come to China

单选题Passage2 Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage. Salt is as necessary to life as water. In many areas of Africa people once drank the urine（尿）of animals because they had no other source of salt. Without salt, human beings die. The human body demands that the amount of salt in the blood always stay the same. When the body does not get enough salt, it protects itself by letting less salt leave the body in. urine and sweat. But it cannot reduce this output to zero. Some salt is always escaping. On a completely saltless diet, like that of some people in Africa, the body steadily loses small amounts of salt through the kidneys（肾） and sweat glands(腺). It then tries to adjust to this loss by speeding up its secretion(分泌) of water. (78) In this way, the body attempts to keep the amount of salt in the blood at the necessary level. The result is a slow drying up of body and, finally, death. The person dies of thirst. In cases where there is little or no water to drink, the body tries to do the opposite thing.Again, it must keep the salt level in the blood constant. Because it has little water, it attempts to stop water from leaving the body and to increase its secretion of. salt. But, as with the escaping salt, it cannot be completely successful. Some water still leaves and the person eventually dies of thirst. In short, the body's normal needs for salt and for water are both parts of the same important need to keep the salt level in the blood constant.6 Some African people once drank animal urine______.Awhen they were going to dieBbecause they were thirstyCbecause there was little saltDbecause they were short of water
