26、   You might not regard England, which is famous for its almost year round rain, as a place with a water shortage problem. However, James Bevan, head of the UK Environment Agency, warned at a recent conference that England will lack water within 25 years.

A major reason for the shortage is climate change. As recently as 2017, Britain saw its driest 10-month period in over 100 years. In 2018, below-average rainfall caused many reservoirs (水库) to run dangerously low. It’s predicted that, by 2040, over half of UK summers will be hotter than the summer of 2003, and water supply from rivers could fall by between 50-80 percent, according to CNN. In 2003, the UK experienced one of the most significant heat waves in recorded history.

Another major reason is that the British waste too much water in daily life. On average each person uses about 140 liters of water per day through a combination of showers, washing machines and garden hoses, according to the BBC. Bevan said people should try to save water and that they could cut their daily water use from 140 to 100 liters. “There re simple steps we can take... Get a low flush toilet, Take short showers...” he said during the conference.

While England may not be the only place facing a water shortage, some other areas have taken measures to avoid one. Israel, for example, recycles waste water, which makes up 40% of the country’s agricultural water.

Wherever you’re in the world, water is precious. Our world is 70% covered by water, but only 2.5% of it is fresh, and only 1% is easily accessible. So let’s try to save the water we’re lucky enough to have and not be wasteful.

【1】What can be the best main idea of the passage?

A. English people are wasting too much water.

B. England may run short of water in the near future.

C. Climate change causes water shortage in England.

D. English people should solve the problem with water shortage.

【2】What’s the purpose of writing the passage?

A. To call on people to save water together.

B. To educate people about the importance of water.

C. To inform people of the water problem in England.

D. To introduce ways to solve the water shortage problem.

【3】Where can you probably find the article?

A. In a textbook. B. In a research report.

C. In a travel journal. D. In a newspaper.

27、Be a good Listener

When communicating with others, we often focus (集中) on what we should say. 【1】 Try the following tips to become a good listener.

Pay full attention to the speaker. You can’t listen effectively (有效地) if you’re constantly checking your phone or thinking about something else. 【2】 If you find it hard to do so, try repeating their words over in your head—it’ll help you stay focused.

Show your interest in what’s being said. Nod and smile at the speaker from time to time. 【3】 These show that you are listening with interest.

【4】 Listen without judging the other person or the things she tells you. If what she says frightens you, go ahead and feel frightened, but don’t say to yourself, “Well, that was a stupid move.” As soon as you allow yourself to be judgmental, you’ve decreased your effectiveness as a listener.

Don’t be a sentence-grabber. When you are trying to speed up the conversation by finishing the other’s sentences, this usually lands you way off base. 【5】 So what you need is patience, not speed.

A. Keep an open mind.

B. Look at each other in the eye.

C. The only way to find out is by listening.

D. But successful communication is more about listening.

E. Encourage the speaker to continue with small expressions like “yes” or “uh huh”.

F. Stay focused on the moment-to-moment experience to pick up the important information.

G. You’re following your own train of thought and ignore where the speaker’s is headed.

28、   Humans were designed to stand upright. And yet in this modern world, too many of us spend our days with our heads lowered for a simple reason: we’re staring at the tiny screen of a smart phone.

People spend an average of 2 to 4 hours each day with their neck bent while shooting off emails or texts. That’s 700 to 1,400 hours a year. The success of social media has led to a rapid development of bad smart phone posture（姿势）.

The average adult head weighs 10 to 12 pounds when it’s in the upright position. However, because of the gravity, bending your head at a 15 degree puts 27 pounds of pressure on your spine(脊椎)；a 30 degree neck bend could equal 40 pounds of pressure; a 45 degree bend adds the force of 49 pounds, according to the research from Dr. Kenneth Hansraj from New York. These stresses may lead to many problems.

It’s no secret that correct posture is better for your back. According to the researchers, good posture is described as ears aligned(成一条直线) with the shoulders. In proper alignment, spinal stress disappeared. It is the best position for the spine. Standing tall doesn’t just make you look better; it improves your health, too. Other studies have found good posture has even been connected to ways of behaving. People who have poorer posture often have poorer physical and emotional health.

The researchers describe bad posture as “the head in a forward position and the shoulders dropping forward in a rounded position”. Bad posture has been connected to many medical problems, including headaches and other problems, depression and heart disease. This is why Hansraj said it’s important to be mindful of your smart phone posture. Though it is nearly impossible to avoid the technologies that cause these problems, people should make an effort to look at their phones with a correct posture.

【1】Through the underlined sentence in paragraph 2, the author wants to show that _______.

A. the social media have its bad side

B. the social media have made a great success

C. people have to use social media unavoidably

D. more and more people are using smart phones

【2】What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?

A. It’s healthy to bend your back regularly.

B. Your back is getting exercise as you bend it.

C. The average weight of an adult head always changes.

D. The more you bend your neck, the more stresses your spine gets.

【3】Where does the text most probably come from?

A. A text book.

B. An advertisement.

C. A health report.

D. A book review

29、   There are plenty of things you can do right now to prepare if you live in an area where earthquakes often happen.

① Make sure each member of your family knows what to do no matter where they are when earthquakes happen:

Agree on a meeting place where you can all reunite afterward.

Find out about earthquake plans developed by children’s school or day care.

Remember transportation may be affected, so keep some emergency supplies--food, liquids, and comfortable shoes, for example—at work.

② Make sure all family members know where your gas, electric and water main shutoffs are and how to turn them off if there is a leak or electrical short.

③ Find the exact position of your nearest fire and police stations and emergency medical places.

④ Talk to your neighbors--how could they help you, or you them after an earthquake?

⑤ Take Red Cross First Aid and CPR Training Course.

⑥ Make your disaster supply bag. Beyond the usual flashlights, batteries and radios, include a first-aid bag; work gloves; shoes or boots; a week’s supply of medicine you or your family might need; credit card and cash; personal identification; extra set of keys; matches in a waterproof container; map of your area; phone numbers of family and other important people; copies of insurance policies and other important documents; a certain amount of water per person; three-day supply of food per person; hand tools; something for joy (toys, books, coloring books and crayons, playing cards)

⑦ Make sure bookcases, cupboards, tall furniture, and etc. stand well. Move the items which are heavy or easy to break to lower shelves. Fasten drawers and cabinet doors with latches or locks. Look for other steps you can take in your home and workplace to reduce your chances for injury and loss.

⑧ Ask about the safety of your home and/or business. It’s well known that some brick buildings can fail quickly during earthquakes. A check by an engineer now can help you decide what to do so that your buildings can withstand shaking.

31、课文内容填空

Middle English is the name 【1】(give) to the English used from around the 12th to the 15th centuries. Many things played a part in the 【2】(develop) of this new type of English. The most important 【3】(贡献) was from the Normans, a 【4】 (French speak) people who【5】 (打败) England and took control of the country in 1066. 【6】, the Norman Conquest did not affect English as much as the Angles and the Saxons’ victory about 600 years earlier, which led to Old English 【7】 (replace) Celtic. Even though the Normans spoke French for the e【8】 250 years they ruled England, French did not replace English 【9】 the first language. On the other hand, the English language did borrow many words from French. This resulted in even more words with similar meanings, such as answer (from Old English) and reply (from Old French). It is interesting to learn 【10】 the words for animals and meat developed.
