25、   Have you ever thought about how much water you use in a day?

Starting February 1st, each person in Cape Town, South Africa received a daily supply of 13 .2 gallons of water which is only enough for a 10 ---minute shower! This restriction (限制) was introduced in preparation for April 22nd, also known as Day Zero, on which the city will turn off all municipal (市政) water taps because of the overuse of fresh water these years.

Over the past three years, Cape Town has suffered from a dangerous drought (干旱). That, along with a growing population of four million people, has caused water---supply drop strongly. As of November 2017, the water level in their largest water reservoir (水库) had dropped to 28% from 102.9% in 2014. That amount is expected to come down to 13 .5% by April 22, 2018.What's worse, the last 10% of the reservoir's levels are not potable (safe to drink) because of the dirt at the bottom.

Firstly, researchers thought the cause of the drought was El Niño. Cape Town could become the first ever major city to run out of water. The government has called on people to conserve the little water they have left by way of prevention, including stopping car washing and filling up swimming pools. They are asking the public to cut showers to two minutes and reuse bathing water to flush the toilet.

When Cape Town reaches Day Zero, there will be 200 water stations scattered(分布) across the town for people to receive their daily supply of 6.6 gallons. Armed guards will stand by to make sure there is no violence(暴力冲突) or theft.

The water shortage has already influenced all parts of Cape Town. People's lives are being affected, with those in the tourism industry and businesses like car washing, seeing no chance to make a living. The relationship between people also becomes worse as neighbors are encouraged to report each other for water waste and the government plans to collect a drought tax(税收) as they are losing tax money because of the low water use.

【1】On April 22nd, people in Cape Town could have only _____ gallons of water for a whole day.

A. 13 .2 B. 13 .5 C. 10 D. 6 .6

①a dangerous drought  ②a growing population

A. ①②③ B. ①③④ C. ②③④ D. ①②④

【3】What does the word conserve in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. produce B. protect C. promise D. prepare

【4】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The water in the largest water reservoir has already dropped to 10%.

B. Neighbours will learn to help each other when facing the serious problem.

C. Tourism industry and business will not be influenced by the shortage of water.

D. Armed guards will work to help keep the water stations in order when Day Zero comes.

26、

For at least 3,000 years, the Chinese have written stories and poems out giant pandas. Ancient writings say that emperors kept these pandas as a sign of wealth (财富). A giant panda's skull (头盖骨) was found in the tomb of an empress who lived over 2,000 years ago. Skins and bones of pandas have been discovered in older tombs as well. Today pandas are China's national symbol of peace and friendship, they are usually sent to other countries as popular presents.

All the forests of southern and eastern China were once the home of pandas. Now they live in the south-central mountains of Sichuan, Shanxi, and Gansu Provinces. The Chinese government has set up nature reserves in these mountains to protect pandas and other species of plants and animals.

Giant pandas have been known to spend up to 16 hours a day eating. They eat 30 to 40 pounds of food in one day! The reason why pandas eat so much is that bamboo doesn't have many nutrients (营养物).

27、   For years, I fought with the “bird’s nest” on top of my head. My mother thought my hair was naturally beautiful, but my classmates didn’t agree. They made fun of it, calling my hair “the mop (拖把)”.

When I got to university, I decided to change my hairstyle. I had my curly (卷曲的) hair straightened (拉直). However, it cost me $700 once every six months to do this. People said I was crazy to spend that much on my hair. But I would do anything to never again see that curly-haired girl in the mirror.

But when I had to rent my own apartment, the cost became too high. So I turned to Google. In the end, I found a “curly haired” salon, a place designed for girls with crazy hair. When I arrived there, the stylist, Jacquai, was waiting for me.

“No curly hair is hopeless,” she replied. “You just haven’t found a way to work with it. That’s all.”

After the hour was over, Jacquai had completed her task. She had fixed my hair using only her hands. I couldn’t believe it: my hair looked beautiful.

Now my world has changed. I am more outgoing and confident than ever. People say that I’m looking better than ever but that they don’t know what has changed. Hair is not just hair. I don’t need to tell them. My hair speaks for itself.
