Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa．It is also the second largest lake in the world．It is an important lake because it is one of the sources(源头) for the longest river in the world, the Nile River．Lake Victoria provides a source of water, food, and power for several African countries．Lake Victoria is a big part of African life．

Unfortunately, Lake Victoria has a problem．It is shrinking．There are several power stations at Lake Victoria in Uganda．These are on the Nile River, and besides producing power, they keep the water of the lake at a certain level．For the past forty years, that level has been 11．9 meters．Over the last several years, the water level has dropped by about 2．5 meters．There seem to be several reasons for this drop．

One possible reason is drought(干旱)．Drought has been very bad in the area since 2000．Lake Victoria gets all of its water from rain, so the drought means less water in the lake．

However, some environmentalists believe that the real problem is the power plants(factories) on Lake Victoria．Uganda depends on those power plants for most of its power, and they made the power plants larger in 2000．Many people believe the power plants have been taking too much water off Lake Victoria．As a result, they have been asked to use less water until Lake Victoria goes back to its old level．

Whether the low water level is caused by drought or power plants, the result is the same．This is already a poor area of Africa, where many people live a really hard life．People, animals and plants around Lake Victoria will suffer even more from low water levels on the lake．Many people need Lake Victoria for fishing or growing food．Fish need the water to live, and animals need it for water．Plants around the lake will die without the water, and then more animals and people will suffer．Unless the lake fills soon, many people will suffer and die．

Kudzu is a fast-growing vine(蔓生植物) that covers a large area in the southern United States. It is so common that one might think it is a native plant, but it is not. Kudzu was brought to the United States from Japan in 1876. Many Americans thought it was beautiful, and they began to plant it. They didn’t know it could grow up to a foot a day during the summer months. Nor did they know it would grow up and over anything in its path(路径).

In Japan, kudzu experienced cold winters and a short growing season. But in the United States, it has a very long growing season with warm and wet southern weather. It is fine weather for the vine to grow fast.

In the 1920s, people used the vine to feed farm animals. Ten years later, the government supported to plant kudzu because it kept soil(土壤) from washing away. However, by the 1950s, the government no longer wanted people to plant the vine. Twenty years after that, the government said it was a harmful plant.

The vine grows up trees and buildings, making some beautiful shapes. However, trees die after kudzu covers them because they can not get enough light. Scientists are looking for ways to kill the vine. They used poisons(毒药) to kill the vine. However, some of the poisons made it grow even better. Scientists also find it difficult to dig up Kudzu. The plant is really tough.

Because kudzu is so hard to kill, some people are making the best of it. So they try to find different uses for the vine. They find the vine can be used to make paper and baskets, it can be used to feed the goats, and it can even be eaten by people. Scientists are studying it in the hope that the vine can be used as a medicine. At the very least, kudzu serves as an example of the unexpected results that can come from non-native plants.

1. We can learn from the passage that 　　　　 .

A. kudzu mostly grows in the northern America

B. kudzu was brought to Japan from America

C. kudzu grows very fast in warm and wet weather

D. American government has never supported to plant kudzu

2.The underlined word “tough” in Paragraph 4 probably means “　　　　 ”.

A.　 not easily broken　　 B. widely used

C. hard to grow　　　　　 D. important to one’s health

3.The last paragraph is mostly about 　　　　 .

A.　 how quickly the vine grows

B. how people use the vine

C. why people want to kill the vine

D. why people eat the vine

4. The writer uses the title “The Vine That Ate the South” most probably to 　　　　 .

Vanuatu is an island nation in the South Pacific. It is one of the smallest countries in the world. But for those who are interested in adventure and sport, there is a lot to do. Vanuatu’s islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world: volcano（火山）surfing and land diving.

Volcano Surfing

On Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises 300 meters into the sky. Yasur is an active volcano, and it erupts（爆发）almost every day, sometimes several times a day. For centuries, people have climbed this mountain to visit the top. Recently, people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano. In some ways, volcano surfing is like surfing in the sea, but in other ways it’s very different. Volcano surfers try to escape the erupting volcano—without getting hit by flying rocks! It’s fast, fun and dangerous—the perfect extreme sport（极限运动）.

Land Diving

Most people are familiar with bungee jumping, but do you know bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu and is almost fifteen centuries old? The activity, first called land diving, is part of a religious ceremony（宗教仪式）. A man ties tree vines（树藤）to his legs. He then jumps head-first from a high tower to touch the earth with the top of his head—without breaking the vine. Every spring, island natives (men only) still take part in this amazing activity.

1.In Line 2, what does the word “those” mean?
