America is in no immediate danger of "running out of water". People in the West have been aware that water is a precious commodity and must be conserved. In the damp East, an excess of water led to complacency until two factors created concern over our water supply. First, the periods of drought from the 1961 to 1966 in the Northeast affected crop production and used up the surface and ground water supplies. Second, attention was called to rapid increases in the rates of pollution of these waters resulting from increased urban and industrial growth. As a result, there is an increasing awareness of the need for conserving the quantity and quality of our nation's water supplies.

Water is a renewable resource, but it is not exhaustible. When used for municipal, industrial, or agricultural purposes, it is not destroyed, but generally finds its way back into our water supply. This used water now carries some waste materials. These dirty waters are often dumped into large bodies of water or are disposed of on land. In the latter instance, evaporation concentrates some of the wastes on the soil surface. On the other hand, water moving through the soil will eventually carry some of the wastes down into the ground water supplies, Eventually, all water evaporates and later returns to the earth as rain or snow in a relatively purer state.

Through this never-ending cycle, there is just as much water in this country now as there ever was. The amount, however, does not increase. Our rapid population growth and our agricultural and industrial expansion have caused our water needs to soar. By withdrawing water from streams too quickly, we have in some instances upset the balance of nature's built-in renewal processes for conserving water. As a result, some of our streams and lakes have become "wet deserts." There is still plenty of water in them, but its water is so polluted that it supports almost no life at all.

1.The passage is mainly about_____.

A. water resources of the United States

B. the renewal processes of water in mature

C. the importance of water conservation

D.water pollution in America

2. The word "drought" in the sentence "First, the periods of drought---ground water supplies." Most probably means_____.

A. catastrophe of too much rain

B. danger of running out of water

C. calamity dry weather

D. damage caused by typhoon

3. Water is relatively purer in_____.

A. fast moving streams and rivers

B. underground water supplies

C. mountainous areas

D. rain and snow

4. When the author says that lakes have become "wet deserts",._____

A. he is being angry

B. he is being optimistic

C. he is being sad

D. he is being humorous

5. It is implied in the passage that______

A. water can be polluted by deserts

B. there are many water conservation programs in America

C. water keeps evaporating from the earth's surface

D. water is not polluted by waster materials

[答案]

1.C

考点：这是一道典型的文章主旨题。

解析：文章第一段的最后一句话是文章的中心思想，指出人们越来越意识到保护水的量和质的必要性。第二、三段主要讨论节约用水和水污染 的危害。第二段指出，水虽然百一种可再生的资源，但并不是用之不竭;第三段说，人口的急剧增加，工农业的快速发展使得用水需求高涨并造成严重的水污染。综上所述，我们可以看出，文章主要讨论保护水资源的重要性。选项A、B、D都是以偏概全。

2.C

考点：这是一道理解题。

解析：题目要求猜测"drought"一词的含义，我们可以通过这个词的上下文来理解它的意思。文章第一段第四句说，1961至1966年东北部地区的drought影响了农作物的生产，使地表水和地下水供应枯竭。据此我们可以推断出这个词的含义是旱灾。

3.D

考点：这是一道细节题。

解析：答案在文章第二段的最一句："Eventually, all water evaporates and later returns to the earth as rain or snow in a relatively purer state."(最终所有的水蒸发，然后以更加纯净的形式降雨或降雪回到地球。)

4.D

考点：此题考察学生对作者态度的理解。

解析：文章第三段最后一句很好地解释了"wet desert"的含义，即：一些河流、湖泊中有大量的水，但污染非常严重，几乎所有的生物都不能使用。根据这个解释，我们可以理解作者说这番话的心情，作者面对这样一种情况只能感到悲哀，而不是愤怒，因为愤怒无济于事，更不是感到乐观或幽默。

5.C

考点：此题考察学生的判断能力。

解析：根据文章第二段的最后一句："Eventually, all water evaporates and later returns to the earth as rain or snow in a relatively purer state."，我们可以推断出水不停地从地球表面蒸发掉，然后在高空中变成水的固态形式。选项A和D与文章内容不符。选项B在文章中没有提及。

Kitchen Design

Over the years economic, social and technological factors have influenced the design of kitchens. Since it is often used simultaneously by both family members as well as guests, the kitchen requires not only a glamorous look but a practical one. Also, the design elements must meet the needs of the modern family.

Environmental concerns have had an enormous impact on kitchen design. This concern includes recycling of house hold material, as well as energy efficient appliances and the purity of both water and air. Research shows that up to 85 percent of the population is concerned about what might be in their drinking water. They are also often dissatisfied with the taste and odor of what comes out of their tap. This is why it's important to consider adding a water filter system.

The character of today's kitchen is very different from the way it was thirty years ago. There's more sophistication in food preparation, and more technological help with cooking and clean-up.

When choosing cabinets, first consider the style. Use the architectural style of your house as a guide. Because cabinets are a big investment, it is best to choose quality. Popular styles in kitchen cabinets are framed panel doors with raised or recessed panels of wood, cabinet fronts with glass panes, or simple slab doors in a rich painted or laminated finish. Cabinet pulls, don't be afraid to mix and match styles.

Because many of today's kitchens consist of two of more cooks sharing in the meal preparation, there is a need for more counter space, cooktops and sinks. Although lifestyles are changing, the primary function of the kitchen as an area for preparing food has remained unchanged. The sink remains one of the most used areas in the kitchen as well as an important decorative statement.

Appliance technology is moving at a very fast pace. Choosing what type of appliances as well as how many will depend on several factors such as how often and how much you cook and the size of your kitchen.

Don't limit yourself to one of each kind of appliance. You can have a refrigerator in one place and a freezer in a separate area or two sets of cooktops, one on the counter next to the wall oven and one on an island. You can even have two dishwashers if size and budget require and permit---think of it as saving time in the long run.

1. A well-designed kitchen should be modern, beautiful and practical at the same time.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

2. Being harmless to the environment is the top priority in kitchen design.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

3. Quality matters the most when you are choosing kitchen cabinets.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

4. More counter space, cooktops and sink are needed in today's kitchens because food preparation is more complicated than it used to be.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

5. The design of the sink is indicative of a kitchen designer's intelligence

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

6. Means of saving labor, appliances should be replaced whenever new models come out

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

7. It is the amount of time you can spend in the kitchen that decides how many appliances of the same kind you should buy

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

Dear Andy，

I have read the advertisement and I am very glad to become your pen- friend.

I am a girl of 25 years old. I live with my parents in Beijing. I have a brother working in a computer company. I—— m a history teacher in a junior middle school. I share the same hobbies with you， and I also like traveling and hiking very much. I usually go camping with my friends on weekends.

Directions：Read the text below. Write an essay in about 120 words，in which you should summarize the key points of the text and make comments on them. Try to use you own words.

You might think that good-looking men have every advantage in life.

But new study suggests being handsome may not always work in a man‘ s favour—at least when it comes to his career.

The research claims that attractive men are less likely to be given a job in a competitive work- place because they intimidate bosses. “It‘ s not always an advantage to be pretty，” says Marko Pite- sa， an assistant professor at the University of Maryland. “It can backfire if you are perceived as a threat. ”

Interestingly， in Pitesa‘ s study， it was male attractiveness in particular， rather than female beauty， that made the most difference. If the interviewer expected to work with the candidate as part of a team， then he preferred goodlooking men. However， if the interviewer saw the candidate as a potential competitor， the interviewer discriminated in favour of unattractive men.

“l——he results suggest that interviewers were not blinded by beauty， and instead calculated which candidate would further their own career.

“The dominant theoretical perspective in the social sciences for several decades has been that biases and discrimination are caused by irrational prejudice，” Pitesa says.

“The way we explain it here， pretty men just seem more competent， so it is actually subjec- tively rational to discriminate for or against them. ”

On a deeper level， she adds， the behaviour remains irrational， since there‘ s no evidence that a real link exists between looks and comoetence.

范文

There might be a common view that good—looking people can take ad- vantages of their superior appearances in the daily life，especially for the preRy men in the job hunting market.However，according to a new research，good appearance is no longer been the silver bullet in a job inter-view.

The results showed that although there Was still a preference to cooperate with the attractive man and compete against the unattractive mall，and did not mind to work with them.However，people were not likely to pick a goodlooking man as their potential competitors.

In my opinion，we should not depend ourselves on our appearance in terms of job hunting.

Good appearance may bring US some benefits，but what is highly valued in the job market is our talents and abilities.
