22、   Sand is a common sight in the world. But you might not know that sand is also a useful resource (资源).

Sand is the second most-used resource in the world after water, the BBC reported. However, the UN said that sand is not limitless and that we might be running out of it.

Sand is made up of very small pieces of rock, soil and minerals (矿物质). It can take tens of thousands of years to form.

But now we are using sand more quickly than it is being formed. According to the BBC, we use about 15 billion tons of sand every year to build houses, roads and other things.

People also put sand in the sea to make new islands. Singapore, for example, is now 20 percent bigger than it was in 1965. Palm islands are three large man-made islands in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. They took 94 million cubic meters of sand to build.

If people keep using this much sand, it will run out in many places. For example, Vietnam may run out of construction (建造) sand by 2020, Live Science noted.

Since people need so much sand, they are trying to mine (开采) more of it. But this is bad for the environment. Mining sand may cause beaches to disappear and more floods to happen in places close to the sea. Also, this may affect the habitats (栖息地) of many plants and animals.

【1】What does the story tell us about sand?

A.It can only be found on beaches. B.It is the most-used resource in the world.

C.It can never be used up. D.It can be used to build houses.

【2】According to the passage, which country is using sand to build islands?

A.Singapore and Vietnam. B.Singapore and United Arab Emirates.

C.Britain and America. D.United Arab Emirates and Vietnam.

【3】Every year, we use about________tons of sand.

A.94 million B.20 billion C.20 million D.15 billion

【4】We are running out of sand because________.

A.there is only a little sand in the world B.we are using sand too quickly

C.we cannot mine enough sand D.our environment is badly polluted

【5】In places close to the sea, more floods will happen because of________.

A.overmining of sand B.climate change

C.the increasing size of certain islands D.the death of some plants

23、   “Make-A-Wish” is one of the world’s most well-known charities(慈善机构). It makes wishes come true for children who have serious illnesses. It gives them hope and joy and helps them forget about their health problems and have fun.

It all started in 1980 in Phoenix, Arizona. Christopher was a 7-year-old boy who was very sick. He always dreamed of becoming a police officer.

There are four kinds of wishes children usually have:

I wish to go. Children usually want to travel or go to a concert, a game or a park.

I wish to be. Some children wish to become actors, singers or police officers.

I wish to have. They often want to have a computer, a game, a bike or many other things.

Let’s hope more wishes will come true in the future. People who work in the charity always try for the best. Almost 25,000 volunteers(志愿者) help, work or give money. Will you be one of them?

24、   It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers（祖先） had lived in the same way for centuries. 

Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog's legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.

This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a better future. But the dream didn't last long. 

No one noticed the change at first, but it seemed to be more insects around recently. So they had to use the money they made to buy pesticides(杀虫剂)and medicines. Soon there was no money left.

The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately. 

Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn't been useless. They had been doing an important job-eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading(传播) diseases.

Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.

【1】From Paragraph 1 we learn that the villagers _____.

A.worked very hard for centuries

B.dreamed of having a better life

C.were poor but somewhat content

D.lived a different life from their forefathers

【2】Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?

A.The frogs were easy money.

B.They needed money to buy medicine.

C.They wanted to please the visitors.

D.The frogs made too much noise.

【3】What might be the cause of the children's sickness?

A.The crops didn't do well.

B.There were too many insects.

C.The visitors brought in diseases.

D.The pesticides were overused.

【4】What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?

A.Happiness comes from peaceful life in the country.

B.Health is more important than money.

C.The harmony between man and nature is important.

D.Good old days will never be forgotten.
