  • 完形填空。
          The world is not hungry, but it is thirsty. It seems    1    that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with
    water while we say we are short of water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water
    which we    2    drink or use for watering plants. Man can only drink and use the 3% of the water that
    comes from rivers and lakes. And we can't even use all of that,     3    some of it has been dirty.
          Now more water is needed. The problem is: Can we avoid (避免) a serious water shortage later on?
    First, we should all learn how to     4    water. Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it.     5    
    have always been making study in this field. Today, in most large cities water is used only once and then 
        6    to the sea or rivers. But it can be used again. Even if every large city reused its water, still there
    would not be     7   . What could people turn to next? 
          The sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea. All that needs to be     8    
    is to get the salt out of the sea water. This is     9  , but it's already in use in many parts of the world.
    Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it. So you see, if we can find a way out, we'll be in
    no    10    of drying up.
    (     )1. A. interesting

    that he did not even understand. At last they reached China. This was in the year 1275. The emperor made

            When Christie Andrews was born, she weighed less that half of one kilogram. Her heart was the size
    of a large coin. Her mother said Christie was so small that she could hold her in the palm of one hand.
            Christie couldn't breathe without a machine to give her oxygen. If she had been born 20 years earlier,
    she would probable have died at once. She needed two operations, but she survived without serious damage.
            Twenty years ago, 90% of all premature (早产) babies died. Today, doctors manage to save four out
    of every five, because they have better machines for breathing and better ways to feed the babies.
            But saving Christie's life cost more than 400,000. In some cases, doctors spend 1 million saving a
    single child. The parents usually don't have enough money to pay. Either the government, an insurance
    company or the hospital picks up (支付) the bill. 
           Even after a baby goes home from the hospital, it may require medical care.
           Some people think it makes more sense (更合乎逻辑) to spend money saving 10 adults who have
    cancer or other diseases than saving one small baby. But nobody wants to be the doctor who has to tell
    parents to their faces, " Sorry, I won't save your new child."

    [     ]
    A. doctors must never decide whether to save babies or cancer patients

    C. having a premature baby was cheaper and safer 20 years ago
    D. Christie survived because the hospital paid her bills
    2. Parents don't pay their babies' hospital bills because             .
    [     ]
    A. they don't have enough money
    B. they would rather save cancer patients
    C. doctors don't care if the babies die
    D. it makes more sense to have a bigger baby
    3. The true cost of saving a baby may be even more than 1 million because             .
    [     ]
    A. oxygen machine are expensive
    B. the baby may require medical care after it leaves the hospital
    C. doctors always charge more than they should
    D. four out of five premature babies can now be saved
    4. From the story we know that saving a cancer patient             .

          Once a circle lost a piece of its own. The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its
    missing piece. But because it was incomplete (不完整的), it could only roll very slowly. It enjoyed the flowers
    and the sunshine along the way. It talked with worms. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So
    it left them all by the side of the road and kept on looking for the missing piece. Then one day the circle found a
    piece that fit perfectly. The circle put the missing piece into itself. It could be whole with nothing missing. It was so happy and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to see flowers or talk
    to worms. It realized how different the world was when it rolled so quickly. It felt so sad that it stopped, left its
    found piece by the side of the road and rolled away slowly. Sometimes we are perfect when we lose something. A man who has everything is a poor man in some ways. He will never have hopes, dreams or something better.

    had. We couldn't be perfect, but we must be brave enough to love, strong enough to forgive (原谅), kind enough to share happiness with others and clever enough to know there is enough love around us and then we can always live a wonderful time in our lives.

           Goats are useful animals. They are able to produce milk for us to drink. The milk can also be
    used to make many things including cheese, soap and beauty creams. Their meat can be eaten and

    the world, goats are kept to carry heavy loads (重物). 
          The, 1,000 goats at Hay Dairies are kept for their milk. The farm was set up by John Hay, a pig
    farmer who saw that there was a growing need in Singapore for goat's milk. One in five children in
    Singapore suffers (患病) from Asthma (气喘), a disease which does a lot of harm to the breathing
    pathway and leads to a sudden difficulty in breathing that can cause death if not treated quickly. Many
    of these children cannot drink cow's milk as this can start an asthma attack and doctors believe goat's
    milk is healthy choice.

          Climbing a mountain is hard work. But one step after another finally brings a person to the top. Along
    the way, he can stop and look around. And the h              he climbs, the more wonderful his view (视野)
    is. If he k              climbing, he will have a new world b              him. He will have a new way of
                 everything.
          Now learning another language is s              like climbing a mountain. This new language can give
    you a new view of l              . And it is more than a look at the surface of things. It can open the way
    into people's minds and h             , into a culture very d              from the one of your own. This will
    make you richer, richer in things that money can't buy. Even though you never set foot on a ship or a
    plane, you can be an armchair tourist through books. 
          Like the mountain climber who stops now and then to e               the scenery around him, everyone
    who is interested in reading will find pleasure in b              as he fights on to learn more and more of
    that new language.
