1、阅读下面的短文，将划线部分译成英文或中文。
The world is not hungry, but it is thirsty. It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can’t drink or use for watering plants directly. ①Man can only drink and use 1% of water on the earth. It comes from rivers and lakes. And some of the water is polluted, ②因此我们不能全部利用它。
Now more water is needed. The problem is: can we avoid (避免) a serious water shortage later on? ③首先，我们应该学会怎样节约用水。Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it. Scientists have always been making studies in the field. Today, in most large cities, water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers. But it can be used again. ④Even if every large city reused its water, still there would not be enough. Thirdly, there is a lot of water in the sea. What we need to do is to separate (分离) the salt from sea water. This is expensive, but it’s already used in many parts of the world. ⑤Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way. So you see, if we can find a way out, we’ll be in no danger of drying up.

26、It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail (详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.
【1】 People with little education usually ______.
A. spend a long time in school
B. have a good chance to get a job
C. spend the best years to choose jobs
D. have fewer chances to get a good job
【2】The earliest education was probably to ______.
A. make a man lead a better life
B. teach a man to write and think
C. make people get a way of living
D. teach people to read good books
【3】The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “______” in Chinese.
A.圆满的 B.崭新的 C.公平的 D.全面的
【4】 It is expected that educated people will be able to ______.
A. accept education as a way of living
B. take an interest in the whole world
C. develop their abilities to make plays
D. learn subjects like language and math
【5】The passage mainly tells us that ______.
A. education should make a man improve
B. people can get education in a short time
C. people should be able to get better paying jobs
D. all subjects are so important for a way of living
27、Nowadays there’s a discussion about whether it’s appropriate to have Internet slang (网络用语) in homework. Different students give different opinions.
Zhang Boren, 11, Beijing | I think Internet slang is very cool and it will make people’s articles or homework much more interesting. Language is always changing. New words come in and old words go out. For example, the Chinese phrase zhainan, which means someone who likes to stay home, originated from Japanese. This word is widely used right now. I think now is the time for Internet slang to come into our real lives and even our homework. We just have to accept this. |
Chen Junyu, 13, Jiangsu | In my opinion, Internet slang can be used in homework. Firstly, not all the words are “low” as some people say. For example, you can find out slang such as rear waves (后浪), meaning young generation, which is positive and sometimes used in news reports. Secondly, these words have a lot of meanings that we can learn. Take “mythical beast (神兽)” for example. It originally meant animals from antiquity (文物). Now it can refer to naughty kids. All in all, Internet words aren’t all bad. |
Yan Zihan, 13, Guangdong | I think Internet slang should stay on the Internet. It’s not good for real life because not everyone knows the meaning of slang phrases. For example, Q means thank you, but I didn’t know what it meant before. I don’t think Internet slang should be used in our homework as teachers might not know what you’re saying. They might get angry and give you a low score. |
Yin Peixin, 12, Hubei | I think Internet slang is a new and fun way for people to express how they feel, though sometimes it makes me feel left out when I don’t know some new Internet slang phrases. Still, I don’t really have a problem with them since they really are a very important part of modern society. But in more formal use, such as homework, I think we shouldn’t use Internet slang. |
【1】The Internet slang zhainan comes from ________.
A．English
B．Japanese
C．German
D．French
【2】Now Mythical beast can refer to ________.
A．young generation
B．someone who likes to stay home
C．animals from antiquity
D．naughty kids
【3】________ thinks Internet slang should only appear on the Internet.
A．Zhang Boren
B．Chen Junyu
C．Yan Zihan
D．Yin Peixin
【4】Which sentence is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Zhang Boren thinks it’s OK to use Internet slang in students’ homework because language is always changing.
B．According to Chen Junyu, some of the Internet slang have positive meanings.
C．Yan Zihan thinks we can use the Internet slang in homework because teachers won’t misunderstand their meanings.
D．In Yin Peixin’s opinion, Internet slang shouldn’t appear in students’ homework because it’s informal.
【5】We can probably read this passage from the magazine ________.
A．Campus Life
B．Business Week
C．Scientific China
D．Lonely Planet
