21、 One in four people around the world is at the risk of facing dangerous water shortages. Seventeen countries face “extremely high water stress” because they use 80 percent of their available water each year. The situation is made worse by a rise in dry periods linked to climate change, the World Resources Institute (WRI) said.
New information from WRI's Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas showed the countries suffering most are in and around the Middle East and North Africa. The Atlas helps governments, investors, and other users understand where and how water risks arise worldwide. It uses a special method and the best-available data to create customizable global maps of water risks.
Qatar is the most water-stressed country, followed by Israel. India ranks 13th among “extremely high” water-stressed nations. But with a population of more than 1.3 billion, it has more than three times the people in the other 16 countries combined, which means besides plenty of fresh water, much more is demanded for Indian daily life, agricultural development etc., resulting in the higher likelihood of water shortages for the country than the other 16.
India's city, Chennai, was the latest city worldwide to warn it could be without water, as water storage levels fell. “That followed a similar announcement from Cape Town last year. It’s good that there's just one city mentioned,” said Betsy Otto, Director of WRI's Global Water Program. “But more of these kinds of “Day Zeros” are round the comer. And soon, the situation will be different, with more people put in a tight spot.”
Many things threaten the worlds water supplies, from climate change to poor supervision, according to WRI. “High dependence on groundwater supplies, which are decreasing, is an added concern,” Paul Reig said. He leads work on the WRI Atlas. Reig noted groundwater supplies are difficult to manage because they're deep below the Earth’s surface. Nearly a third of fresh water is groundwater. “It's poorly understood. We have got to get down studying it deeply and quickly, working for more available fresh water?”
【1】What does the WRI Atlas serve as?
A.A database about water storage and supplies.
B.A tool offering information about water risks.
C.A company collecting water-related information.
D.An institute concerning water-stressed countries.
【2】What's Otto's attitude to future water conditions?
A.Concerned. B.Optimistic. C.Doubtful. D.Cautious.
【3】What do Reig’s words imply?
A.Climate change threatens the world's water supply.
B.High dependence on groundwater is decreasing.
C.Further research is needed on groundwater.
D.New ways should be adopted for fresh water.
【4】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.The situation of water stress and potential solutions.
B.The effects water stress has on each country.
C.The reason why water stress should be overcome.
D.The cause of global water stress.
22、 One day, when my family was leaving a restaurant, I heard a man's voice from a car in the car-park. After a quick look at the car, I noticed the Washington license plate (牌照) at once, so I knew they had come from far away. The young man had his head partly out of the window and spoke to me as I moved closer, "Excuse me, my wife and I are trying to find a room for the night and every place in the area seems to be filled up. Do you have any suggestions for us where we might find a room?"
Well, that didn't surprise me. After all, it was the busy time of the year for tourism. As he spoke, I noticed that his wife was pregnant (怀孕的). I told them that they should just keep searching and wished them good luck in their search. The young husband didn't say any other words and backed out of the car-park and headed off. We also got into our car and drove home.
After a short time, I couldn't get this young couple out of my mind. Here they were, traveling in a different state, tired, the wife pregnant. It was at that moment that my wife told me we needed to go back and find that couple. We went back and looked for them. We even went as far as the mountain.

23、Imagine a perfect day: the weather is good and everything seems fine. When, suddenly, your mobile phone loses its signal , the television has no programs, and you can’t get online with your computer.
What has happened? These are just the types of problems a solar storm(太阳风暴)might cause. You may not think of storms as putting our society in danger. But today, a solar storm is as serious as other bad events, such as earthquakes.
A solar storm is caused by solar flares(太阳耀斑): large explosions(爆炸)near the sun that can give off lots of energy. The strong energy can stop the satellite systems(卫星系统)that control our computers, telecom networks and so on. These storms can even cause the power to go out for weeks or months.
In the past few months, scientists have recorded some of the strongest sun flares in years. The most recent one happened around Valentine’s Day, 2011. It caused radio and satellite signals to go down in some northern cities in China.
“Solar flare activity is going to be much worse than what we’ve seen in the past. We’re not talking about a few cities losing power, it could be half of the country, maybe more.”Solar Storm Warning.com, a US website about space weather, warned.
Scientists say that little can be done to predict such a storm. Governments around the world are trying to work together before the next storm, although they are not sure when that may happen.
【1】In Paragraph 1, the underlined word “signal” means ________.
A.电池
B.标志
C.力量
D.信号
【2】According to the passage, a solar storm can cause many problems EXCEPT that _________.
A.earthquakes happen
B.mobile phones have no signals
C.people cannot get online
D.the power may go out
【3】According to the passage, solar flares are ________.
A.telecom networks
B.solar storms
C.large explosions near the sun
D.US websites
【4】The writer wrote the passage mainly to ________.
A.call for scientists to predict when the next solar storm will happen
B.tell people how to solve the problems caused by solar storms
C.introduce what solar storms are to people
D.ask people to work to prevent the solar storm from happening
24、Which English Do You Speak
English is the first language of several countries. It is also used for international communication in jobs related to medicine, business, and travel. However, the English language has many variations (变体). 【1】 In many English language courses, the British and North American varieties are taught. One is not more correct than the other, but there are important differences between the two.
Probably the biggest difference between North American and British English is the vocabulary. 【2】 For example, in the United States, people throw their garbage into the trash can (垃圾桶). In England, people throw their rubbish into the dustbin. In Britain, people take a lift to the fifth floor. In North America, people take an elevator.
【3】 For example, speakers of British English will ask “What did you do at the weekend?” But North Americans usually say “on the weekend”. Some verb tenses (时态) also differ slightly. In the United States people usually say “I’ve just gotten a new car, but in the UK they will say “I’ve just got a new car.”
The pronunciation of many vowel (元音) sounds in North American and British English is also different, even when the spelling is the same. 【4】 It is a classic example of this point.
【5】 Learning all of these differences would be very difficult, so English language learners should just be aware of them.
A.North American and British English differ in many ways.
B.North American and British English grammar can also be different.
C.The word “tomato” is pronounced to-mah-to in British English.
D.British, North American, Australian, and South African English are all spoken differently.
E.Different words and expressions are used to talk about the same thing.
F.As an English learner, you can communicate with native English speakers who speak English differently.
G.Vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation are three ways English differs all over the world.
