A new study warns that about 30% of the world people may not have enough water by the year 2025.
A private American organization called Population Action International (PAI) did the new study. It says more than three hundred and thirty-five million people lack enough water now. These people live in twenty-eight countries. Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East.
PAI researchers Robert Engelman says by the year 2025， about three thousand million people may face water problems. At least 18 more countries are expected to lack enough water. The need for water keeps increasing. Yet the amount(数量) of water on the earth stays the same.
The report says lack of water in the future may cause several problems. It may increase health problems. Lack of water often means drinking water is not safe. Mr. Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases， such as cholera， which are carried in water. Lack of water may also lead to more international conflict(冲突). Countries may have to fight for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their water from other countries. This is true of Egypt， the Netherlands， Cambodia， Syria， Sudan， and Iraq. And the report says lack of water would influence the ability to improve their economies(经济). This is because new industries often need a great amount of water when they are beginning.
The Population Action International study gives several solutions to the water problem. One
way， it says， is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose. Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water. A third way is to use less water for agriculture.
The report also says a long-term solution to the water problem is to control population growth. It says countries cannot provide clean water unless they slow population growth by limiting the number of children people have.

请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
When students complete a book， they consider the job of reading done. When they are asked what they have got from the book， quite a few of them can give you some information about the plot(情节). But if we ask them more detailed questions， they have nothing to say. In fact， that is not what a good reader is supposed to do.
To be a good reader， firstly， is to know the background. We need knowledge of the life story of the writer， the culture and society in which the story takes place， Otherwise， it is hardly possible for us to better understand the book or come to realize the theme.
Then， we start to read the book. A good reader will not stop since he has already made a good preparation. He goes through the whole book to get the general idea of it instead of reading off and on.
Next comes an important step一read the book once again and write annotations(注释) when there is something impresses us deeply. It helps us get close to the mind of the writer. Many students underestimate(低估)the importance of writing annotations. They say that they also can understand the writer although they do not write annotations. It is true that it brings us some trouble of writing， but it also gives us a lot of ideas of our own at the same time.
Finally， a good reader needs to write a book report. It is a time when we can sum up all our thoughts and turn them into a report. We start to think of the characters， the plots and the theme. Some say it is boring but in fact it is fun if we do it. Producing something of our own is really wonderful because we are on our way to be better than a good reader.
All of us move our eyes back and forth from words to sentences to paragraphs. However， as a good reader， we learn much more from reading one book carefully than we do from reading ten roughly(粗略地)
1. What background should a good reader know before reading a book?
A. The life story of the characters.
B. The theme of the book.
C. The society where the story happens.
D. The general idea of each paragraph.
2. What does the underlined phrase "off and on" in paragraph 3 mean?
A.上上下下地 B.断断续续地
C.来来回回地 D.里里外外地
3. According to the passage， a good reader ·
A. can just tell the plots of a book
B. can finish reading ten books at a time
C. underestimates the importance of annotating
D. will read a book more than once
4.The passage is mainly written to ·
A. ask readers to prepare well before reading
B. encourage readers to write a book report
C. tell what a good reader is supposed to do
D. remind readers to sum up their thoughts

Many years ago， when I was in high school and working at weekends， I lost my wallet. That day， I needed to put gas in my car. I paid for the gas and then put my wallet on the front bumper(保险杠) and drove off. I didn't even have time to miss it when my phone rang. A man asked me if I had lost my wallet. I checked my bag and to my surprise， I had. He asked me to tell him what was in it. I did so. He then told me where to go to pick up my wallet.
As I drove to his house， I noticed the man's car. It was really special. I was thinking that there was no way this man could have easily got out of his car and got my wallet off the street. He had to pull over， get in his wheelchair， lower the lift， and then pick it up.
I thanked him like 10 times for finding my wallet. I didn't want to insult(冒犯)him by offering money but I really felt like offering something. So I asked him if there was anything I could do to repay his kindness， and he said， "Just pass it on". I said I would be certain to do that.
Well， one does not find many wallets and so it was about 10 years later that I found one. It took me several days to find the man to whom the wallet belonged. He lived in another state， about 60 miles away from where I found the wallet.
The young man was actually surprised that his money was still in the wallet and he tried to
hand me $20. I told him， "Thanks， but just pass it on."
1. The man who picked up the writer's wallet was ·
A. humorous B. disabled
C. creative D. poor
2. What can we know from paragraph 3?
A. The writer gave the man some money.
B. The writer thanked the man many times.
C. The writer helped the man repair his car.
D. The writer promised not to lose anything.
3. Which is the best title for the passage?

C. Love in a Wallet D. Pass on Kindness

I put my sunglasses on and took a deep breath. We began to walk down the street on her first day of school with her hand held tightly in mine. I knew she would be crying in a few minutes, because she always did that when she was ______ about a new environment.
On the way to school, I told her repeatedly how ______ her new school life would be and expected she would feel ______. But when she saw the massive group of students everywhere, her face at once fell and the tears (眼泪) came into her eyes. “You can do this, sweetie.

What do you think about mistakes? Maybe you say no one likes making mistakes. But mistakes lead to growth.
Converge Magazine recently published articles about mistakes students should make. It suggests students need to live a balanced life, even in the college environment.
According to the topic of the article, there are four mistakes students should make. The mistakes include:
Think they pick the wrong major (专业)
A student should explore any possibility that interests him, and future careers might just be around the corner. Remember, if you don’t know what to do, it’s OK!
Think their teachers know everything
Students may think of their teachers as gods who know everything, but that really is not the case. Students should know teachers are the ones who can help us understand better. Students can research answers on their own and get their own opinions instead of having their teachers tell them the answers.
Think they get too involved
Getting good grades is very important, but it’s only a part of the life. Joining clubs and learning about social situations are all good for teenagers’ growth. It will not only make the students more knowledgeable but also create interest in their education.
Think taking a day off is a waste of time
Now, students are under too much pressure. It’s necessary for them to relax now and then. But they always keep in mind how that might influence their schoolwork. Take a day off to relax, and you may get an energetic student the next day. Just don’t do it too often.
1. The articles published on Converge Magazine are about ______.
A. students’ college life
B. college environment
C. students’ mistakes
D. students’ future career
2. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Making mistakes is good for growth.
B. Students can learn everything from the teachers.
C. Joining clubs helps students learn a lot.
D. It’s necessary for students to live a balanced life.
3.The writer thinks that ______.
A. students should pick the right major
B. getting grades is all for students
C. relaxing at times is necessary for students
D. teachers shouldn’t make mistakes
