Water keeps us alive. When it runs out, we have a problem.
About one out of four people on the planet are facing a shortage of water. Seventeen countries around the world are dealing with high-water stress. This means they are using almost all the water they have access to. Many are dry countries. Some waste much of their water. Some may currently use too much of their groundwater that they should be saving. Several big cities face acute shortages. These include Sao Paulo, Brazil; Chennai, India; and Cape Town, South Africa. A year ago, Cape Town faced nay Zero-the day when all its dams would he dry.
Climate change adds to the risk of water shortages. Rainfall is less steady. The water supply becomes less reliable. The days grow hotter. More water evaporates(蒸发)from lakes and rivers even as demand for water increases. By 2030, the number of cities in the high-stress category may have risen to 45 and include almost 470 million people.
All over the world, farmers compete with city residents for water. Rich urban places, such as Los Angeles, use too much water for pools and golf courses. But the worst problem is the growth of cities. Bangalore, India, for
example, had a few years with little rain. It built over its many lakes or filled them with city waste. The lakes are no longer the rain water storage tanks they once were. Bangalore now imports water. A lot of the imported water, however, gets lost on the way to Bangalore.
To address this issue, what can be done? First, cities can plug leaks in their water distribution system. Wastewater can be recycled. Rain can be harvested and saved for hard times. Lakes and wetlands can be cleaned up and old wells can be restored. And farmers can switch from water-intensive crops like rice to less-thirsty crops like millet(小米).
Experts are looking at ways to reduce the number of people on the planet. They are looking at ways to reduce the size of cities. They are looking for ways to encourage people, factories and farmers to use less water. 4. What can we know from Paragraph 2?
A. A quarter of the world's population is living with water shortages. B. Nearly all countries are facing acute water shortages now. C. Underground water should he used to meet the water demand. D. Measures have been taken to deal with the water shortage in India. 5. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. Rainfall is not as steady as before. B. Climate change may lead to water shortages. C. The water supply relies more on rainfall. D. Hotter weather changes the water demand. 6. What can farmers do to deal with water shortage?
A. Plug leaks in the water distribution system. B. Clean up lakes and wetlands and restore wells. C. Reduce the number of people in the cities. D. Grow less-water consumption crops instead. 7. What will be discussed if the passage continues?
A. How to prevent from climate change. B. How to inspire people to save water. C. How to recycle wastewater in cities D. How to make people get access to clean water.
C
Plastic is piling up in ecosystems all over the world. Although its harmful impacts on both species and ecosystems have been documented, a few animals—like bowerbirds and hermit crabs—are doing what they can to recycle it. And according to a recent study, wild bees in Canada have joined the effort, which is a rare observation of behavioral flexibility in species especially insects, in increasingly plastic-rich environments.
The researchers found two species of leafcutter bees putting plastic into their nests. One of the bees they studied, the alfalfa leafcutter bee, normally bites off pieces of leaves and flowers while the second bee gathers
sticky substances from trees. Leafcutter bees don't build big nests or store honey like honeybees, choosing instead small nests in underground holes, tree holes or cracks（裂缝）in buildings. But the researchers found that three of eight brood cells（育雏巢室）contained pieces of plastic bags, replacing 23 percent of the cut leaves in each cell on average.
While they don't make honey,alfalfa leafcutter bees still make money for theU. S. and Canadian farmers by pollinating（给......传授花粉）crops including alfalfa , carrots and melons. The European insects were introduced to North America in the 1930s for that purpose, and they've since become wild, joining the continent's many native species of leafcutter bees.
In a separate study conducted in Argentina between 2017 and 2018, researchers found a bee nest made entirely of plastic, which consisted of three separate cells. It's the first known example of such construction worldwide. Compared to the other nests the researchers examined, which were made of natural materials, this one had a pretty lower success rate of the bees' survival. One of the cells had a dead baby bee , another seemed to have housed an adult that had left the nest, and the third was unfinished. 8. What does the animals' use of plastic show according to the study? A. How widely plastic is used.
B. How strange the behavior of wildlife is. C. How some wildlife is adapting to plastic. D. How plastic pollution has harmed them. 9. What do leaves mean to alfalfa leafcutter bees? A. Food. B. Shelter.
C A plastic substitute. D. Traditional nest materials. 10. Which is one characteristic of leafcutter bees? A. They have great economic value. B. They store honey like honeybees. C. They prefer to live in tree holes. D. They have evolved into a new species.
11. What was the nest made entirely of plastic like?
A. It might be warmer. B. It might be unhealthy. C. It might be easy to finish. D. It might be recyclable.
D
TOKYO—Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga told the media on Monday if any places hosting events of the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics declare a state of emergency due to the COVID-19 epidemic during the games, the events will continue to beheld but without spectators (观众). With one month to go before the games are due to begin on July 23, Suga is again showing his administration’s determination to hold the Olympic Games as planned, despite so much pressure from various parties urging it tocancel the event.
Although the Japanese government regards the Tokyo Olympics as an important opportunity to improve its soft power, the Japanese people’s enthusiasm for the Games has been continuously dented (挫伤) since they were postponed last year. The resurgence (再猖獗) of the novel coronavirus in some places is Japan in recent months has cast a shadow over people’s confidence that the Olympics will not give rise to new clusters (群) of infections, and there are fears that the Games will provide new channels for the virus’ global transmission.
Some torchbearers from Japan have withdrawn from the Olympic torch relay in the country. And the latest survey indicates only 34 percent of Japanese people support holding the games as scheduled. Predictably, the Suga administration will do all it can to try to ensure the games go ahead. But it remains to be seen whether it can stand the tests of the uncertainties related to epidemic prevention and control that might happen during the Games.
Since it has not yet got the virus under control at home, the people have reasons to question is ability to deal with the prevention and control work when large numbers of participants will be flocking to Japan from around the world in a short time. It is to be hoped that Japan can draw lessons from the organization of epidemic prevention and control work during the ongoing UEFA European Championship, carry out strict epidemic prevention and control measures, and be prepared for emergencies to guarantee the safety and success of the Olympics at this special time.
It should be a common wish of the whole world that the Tokyo Olympics can become a stage showing unity and resolve of human beings in their fight against the virus. That willendowthe games with special meaning beyond sports.
12. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The virus’ global transmission. B. People’ worry about the infections. C. The resurgence of the novel coronavirus. D. The benefit of holding the Tokyo Olympics.
13. How do about one third of Japanese people like holding the games as planned?
A. Uncertain. B. Negative. C. Approving. D. Indifferent. 14. Which of the following words can replace the underlined word “endow” in the last paragraph? A. Compare. B. Equip. C. Provide. D. Charge. 15. What can be the best title for the news report? A. Japan can ensure Olympics go ahead B. Olympics big test for Japanese government C. Japanese people’s enthusiasm for the Games
D. Japan to carry out strict epidemic prevention during the Games 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
