Imagine one day, the water taps(水龙头) in your house stop running. You have to buy water from shops. And still there isn’t enough for everyone. Your mother has to save the family’s shower water to do other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?
Probably not. But that’s what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts said Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. According to a report, the capital, Sana, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.
Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply(供应). Hannan, an 18-year-old from Lahej, told Times: “In a good week we’ll have a water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two.”
Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water trucks. Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water—at very high prices. “A lot of people can’t afford it,” she said.
The average (平均) person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic（立方）meters of water per year. That is far below the international water poverty(贫困) line of 1,000 cubic meters.
The government is thinking of making use of seawater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.
56. _____________ is the name of the capital city of Yemen.
A. Sana B. Lahej C. Hannan D. Times
57. A report shows that Sana will have ____________ as early as 2025.
A. enough drinking water to use B. no drinking water to use
C. no private companies D. more water pollution
58. What does the underlined word “shortage” in the third paragraph mean in Chinese?
A. 充足 B. 短缺 C. 干旱 D. 需求
59. We can infer(推断) from the passage that _____________.
A. the poor don’t have to worry about the water supply
B. the 18-year-old boy is from a poor family
C. private companies make a lot of money
D. Lahej is a beautiful place
60. Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?
A. How to Save Water B. How to Make Use of Seawater
C. How People Use Water Fully D. Yemen is Facing Serious Water Shortage
C
A serious earthquake can be a terrible experience, and it is easy to forget safety measures(措施) in disorder(混乱). Fortunately, most earthquake safety measures are common sense, but if you forget everything else, remember the following instructions: drop, cover, and hold on. Also, most of earthquake deaths happen after the earthquake, so remember that the danger does not end when the shaking does!
If you stay indoors during an earthquake move away from unsupported areas and windows. Try to get under a doorway or another area of the building which is held up by strong beams(梁). Stay under a table or desk only if it is very strong. Do not rush to lifts, because it is far safer to stay where you are. Cover your head with your arms around it and curl (蜷缩) into a ball, and wait for the shaking to stop.
If you stay outdoors during an earthquake, move to an area which is as open as possible. Don’t move to buildings, electric poles and other objects which may fall during an earthquake and injure you. Protect your head and stay low to the ground till the shaking ends and it is safe to move.
After an earthquake, many buildings are less strong, although they appear safe. If you stay indoors, move people from the building quickly and help disabled or injured people. Once outdoors, move well away from the building so that if it falls down, you will not be injured. Wait till public safety officials announce that it is safe to stay indoors.
By planning ahead and keeping calm during an earthquake, you can greatly increase your chances of survival(生存) without injury.
61. The underlined word “Fortunately” in the first paragraph means ____________.
A. especially B. gradually C. luckily D. finally
62. We can learn from the passage that earthquake safety measures ____________.
A. are planned for children B. help us to keep safe
C. are not necessary D. are not easy to understand
63. According to the passage it isn’t a good choice ___________ during an earthquake.
A. to take a lift B. to stay under a strong table
C. to get under a doorway D. to cover the head with arms around it
64. If you stay outdoors during an earthquake, you can do all the following except ___________.
A. trying to protect your head B. moving to an open place
C. moving away from buildings D. taking the disabled people into the room
65. The purpose of the passage is mainly to tell us how to ____________.
A. stay away from an earthquake B. predict an earthquake
C. control an earthquake D. keep safe duri
