What do you do if your nation has a severe water shortage and happens to be located in a desert? If you have the resources, you turn to technology, which is what a company in the oil-rich United Arab Emirates (阿联酋) (UAE for short) is planning to do. The country, which gets less than four inches of rain per year, could solve its issue with water shortage by dragging icebergs from Antarctica to its shores. The first such attempt will begin in 2018.

Once the iceberg is at UAE shores, the ice above the waterline would be cut off and crushed into drinking water, which would then be stored in large water tanks. The iceberg would also have a broader impact, says Abdullah Mohammad Sulaiman Al Shehi:

“Cold air out from an iceberg close to the shore of the Arabian Sea would cause rainstorms across the Arabian Gulf and the southern region of the Arabian Peninsula all year round. As the rising air expands, cools and condenses (冷凝) due to the decrease in air pressure, water vapor (水蒸气) is collected in the clouds, which becomes heavy and falls as rain.” More icebergs will bring more water vapor and clouds, creating a profound (巨大的)effect on the regional climate over a decade, turning the desert into “green meadows(草地)”. The melting iceberg would also add fresh water to the Arabian sea, returning biodiversity. There would also be a boost(兴旺) for tourism from all the people interested in looking at the icebergs. The Emirates Iceberg Project comes from a group of efforts by NABL called “Filling the Empty Quarter”. The project aims to dramatically influence the deserts of the “Empty Quarter”, the planet’s largest sand desert. The region is also the richest oil-producing area in the world, including parts of Saudi Arabia, Oman, UAE and Yemen.

1.What is the UAE planning to do according to the text?

A. To collect fresh sea water from Antarctica.

B. To drag icebergs from Antarctica to the country.

C. To make icebergs from Antarctica melt.

D. To get 20 billion gallons of fresh water from icebergs.

2.What Al Shehi said reflects the effect of icebergs on_______.

A. the weather　　 B. the industry

C. the biodiversity　　 D. the tourism

3.According to the text, the deserts of the “Empty Quarter” are______.

A. turning into green meadows

B. the resource of salt in the Arabian sea

C. the empty area without population

D. abundant in oil as a matter of fact

4.According to the text, icebergs to be dragged to UAE’ shores will _________.

A. bring water vapor and sand

B. add salt water to the Arabian sea

C. become “green meadows”

D. attract people interested in looking at the icebergs

Wanting to be more responsible is admirable. Being responsible can seem hard at first, but if you keep at it, it will become second nature to you!

1. But to show that you can care for yourself and others, you need to do things before you’re asked. That shows you are responsible enough to see what needs to be done and take care of it. When you have a family, friends, or pets, being responsible may mean placing their needs above your own. 2. But it does mean you may need to take care of yourself later if someone you love has a need right now.

Being consistent is of great importance. 3. If you want to be responsible, then you have to find a routine that works for you and stick to it. For instance, don’t just study for ten hours in a row and then give up on studying for three weeks; instead, spend one hour every day looking over the course material.

In daily life, problems come up in any relationship. 4. A responsible person looks for solutions instead of trying to decide whose fault it is. Similarly, don’t attack someone instead of dealing with the issue and you should take time to think your words through. 5. If you find it difficult to control what you’re saying, try counting to ten in your head as you take deep breaths.

A.Don’t let your anger get the better of you.

B.That doesn’t mean you don’t take care of yourself.

C.Doing just the things you are asked to do is responsible.

D.Your responsibility won’t mean much if it is hit or miss.

E.Instead of blaming the other person, try to find a way to solve them.

F.Where you show you’re responsible is when you can say you made a mistake.

G.Staying consistent also means keeping your word you make to yourself and others.

In the future your automobile will run on water instead of gas! You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket! You might even drive a flying car!

For each prediction that has come true today, several others have missed by a mile. Many of these predictions didn’t consider how people would want to use the technology, or whether people really needed it in their lives or not. Let’s look at some predictions from the not-too-distant past.

Robot Helpers

Where’s the robot in my kitchen? Nowhere, of course. And he’s probably not coming anytime soon. Robots do exist today, but mostly in factories and other manufacturing environments.

Back in the 1950s, however, people said that by now personal robots would be in most people’s homes.

So why hasn’t it happened? Probably because robots are still too expensive and clumsy. And maybe the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too weird. At home we seem to be doing fine without them.

Telephones of Tomorrow

In 1964 an American company introduced the video telephone. They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes. But of course the idea hasn’t caught on yet.

Why? The technology worked fine, but it over-looked something obvious: people’s desire for privacy. Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just step out of the shower? Probably not—it could be embarrassing! Just because a technology available doesn’t always mean people will want to use it.

And finally, how about that crazy prediction of the flying car? It’s not so crazy anymore! But a flying car remains one of the most fascinating technology ideas to capture our imagination. Keep watching the news, or perhaps the sky outside your window, to see what the future will bring.

1.The whole passage is mainly about　　.

A. predictions that have come true

B. predictions that haven’t come true

C. why predictions don’t come true easily

D. what technology will bring about

2. The author of this passage won’t believe that　　.

A. predictions needn’t consider people’s practical use of technology

B. the future isn’t always easy to guess

C. not all past predictions have come true

D. many of the high-tech things our parents thought we’d be using by now simply never appeared

3.The underlined word “weird” in Para. 5 probably means　　.

A. wonderful　　　　　　        B. stupid

C. practical                            D. strange

4.What does the author think of the flying car?

A. It is too difficult to imagine.

B. It is too crazy an idea.

C. It is likely to be made.

D. It is often reported in the news.

In the future your automobile will run on water instead of gas! You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket! You might even drive a flying car!

Not all past predictions have been proved wrong. A few of them have been surprisingly accurate (正确无误). Some great thinkers predicted the arrival of the credit card, the fax machine and even the internet years before they happened. But for each prediction that has come true, some others have missed by a mile. Many of these predictions didn’t consider how people would want to use the technology or if people really needed it in their lives or not. Let’s look at some predictions from the not-too-distant past.

So why hasn’t happened? Maybe because robots are still too expensive and clumsy(笨拙的). And probably the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too strange. At home we seem to be doing fine without them.

In 1964 an American company introduced the video telephone. They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes. But of course the idea hasn’t caught on yet.

Why? The technology worked fine, but it overlooked (忽略) something obvious: people desire for privacy. Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just stepped out of the shower?

Probably not — it could be uncomfortable! Just because technology doesn’t always mean people will want to use it.

And finally, how about that crazy prediction of the flying car? It’s not so crazy any more! But a flying car remains one of the most wonderful technology ideas to catch our imagination. Keep watching the news or perhaps the sky outside your window to see what the future will bring.

1.The passage mainly deals with______.

A. predictions that can catch our imagination

B. predictions that haven’t come true

C. new technology can benefit our life

D. predictions that have come true

2.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?

B. Predictions don’t need to consider people’s practical use of the technology.

C. Not all the high-tech things people thought we’d be using by now are widely used.

D. High-tech things are not always convenient to people’s life.

3.Robot Helpers haven’t been used in most people’s homes because ______.

A. using the kind of robots at home is simply a waste of time and money

B. the kind of robots hasn’t been developed yet

C. people find it difficult to control the kind of robots
