21、Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving（铺砌）a road can lead to less useable fresh water. A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers. It comes from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.
Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages（缺乏）. Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts（干旱）than areas with more rainfall, but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.
Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too. In the United States, a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day！This shows how much we depend on water to live, but there's a lot we can do to lower the number.
You can take steps to save water in your home. To start with, use the same glass for your drinking water all day. Wash it only once a day. Run your dishwasher only when it is full. Help your parents fix any leaks（滴水）in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.
【1】What can we know from the passage?
A．Paving roads has great effect on groundwater.
B．All water shortages are due to human behavior.
C．There is much we can do to reduce family size.
D．The average family in America makes proper use of water.
【2】How can people make sure of enough water supply?
A．To pave less roads.
B．To reduce human activities.
C．To use less water every day.
D．To have a good management of water.
【3】What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A．To show us how to fix leaks at home.
B．To tell us how to run a dishwasher.
C．To give tips on how to save water at home.
D．To prove what drinking glass is best for us.
【4】What's the main idea of the passage?
A．Why paving roads reduces our water.
B．How much we depend on water to live.
C．Why droughts occur more in dry climates.
D．How human activity affects our water supply.
22、It is well known that the United States’ population come from all over the world. The immigrants(移民) can learn the language, English, to keep this country united, but it is unnecessary to change their culture for an American way of life.
I believe that recent immigrants should learn English in order to live in the country. They should learn the “public language”. If they don’t learn English, they won’t be able to communicate and do what they want. For example, my mother’s friend came to the United States from Ecuador three years ago. She doesn’t speak English. One day, her daughter, Anita, couldn’t breathe. Anita didn’t know what was going on, but she told her mother to call an ambulance. When her mother called the hospital, she couldn’t communicate. The operator couldn’t understand what Anita’s mother was saying. Fortunately, her mother’s sister arrived and called the ambulance. The doctor told her sister that if she hadn’t arrived at the hospital on time, Anita could have died. A pill had gotten stuck in her throat.
Immigrants should learn English to speak with the public, but they can also keep their language at home. The children of immigrants should learn how to speak their parents’ language. It is very important to communicate with our relatives and family. If we learn English only and forget our private “language”, we won’t be able to communicate with our parents. For example, Florence, my co-worker, speaks English only. Her mother didn’t teach her Spanish (her mother’s mother language). Now, Florence can’t communicate with her grandparents or other relatives in Puerto Rico. She has lost her mother’s mother language, tradition and culture.
Immigrants have the freedom to keep their culture and values. Immigrants should know where they come from and what their family’s culture is. In this way, they can transmit it to future generations.
In conclusion, immigrants should learn English in order to communicate with the public and to keep the country united, but they shouldn’t give up their own culture.
【1】 Who played the most important part in calling an ambulance fro Anita?
A. Anita’s aunt. B. Anita’s mother.
C. The operator. D. The doctor.
【2】If immigrants in the United States can’t speak their parents’ language, what trouble might they have?
A. They can’t ask for help when they get lost in the United States.
B. They can’t call police for help when they are in trouble in the United States.
C. They can’t make themselves understood while in their original country.
D. They can’t go shopping by themselves conveniently in the United States.
【3】 The author develops the passage mainly by _________.
A. following the natural time order
B. providing typical examples
C. comparing opinions from different people
D. presenting a cause and analyzing its effects
【4】 By writing the passage, the author mainly wants to ________.
A. show that the United States is a multi-cultural country
B. advise immigrants to learn English and keep their own culture
C. explain why so many people move to the United States
D. describe the difficulties immigrants meet in a new country
23、 Mr. Hadley was my 6th grade teacher. At that time I was a short girl weighing 70 kilograms. Boys always laughed at me because of it. So I became an extremely shy young lady.
One day Mr. Hadley told us that we would be required to come to the front of the class and read the reports that we had completed.
When my turn came, I refused to stand in front of all those students and open up to their tricks. Mr. Hadley handed me my report and asked me to read it. I gave it back to him. He walked to the font and said, “Martha has a very good report here and I think everyone needs to hear her read it. If you make strange noises or make fun of her in any way, I will let you fail right here and now. OK?”
Mr. Hadley walked back to me and handed me the paper again, asking me to go to the front of the class. I walked there on legs that were shaking and I felt a rabbit in my chest. Everyone was all quiet, including those boys. I stood there trying to be calm.
Mr. Hadley walked over to me and put his arm around me, “You can do it. I have confidence in you!” His words helped me calm down. I read the report and instead of the kids laughing at me and making fun of me, they all stood up and clapped their hands.
From that day on the kids never made fun of me and some actually made friends with me. I continued to be quiet and shy all through school but 1 knew if I had to stand up in front of the class, I could do it.

24、 Have you ever wondered what the longest word in the English language is? Believe it or not, there’s no simple answer to the question. You might think it would be as easy as opening a dictionary and looking for the longest word. However, it’ s far more complicated than that.
Over time, many people have suggested many different words for the title of the longest word in English. How can that be? That’s because the first thing that people have different opinions on is what should be considered a word. Some of the words were simply made up to be the longest! For example, there is one really famous long word that most kids know. It comes from Disney’s movie Mary Poppins: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, which means wonderful. But since that 34-letter word was made up simply to be sung as a song in a movie, should it count?
How about long words that actually describe something in the world? Scientists have come up with several possible choices. The name of a virus totals 1, 185 letters. There’s also a protein whose name totals 1, 909 letters. Should these win the title? “Not so fast!” say some people. Are these words ever actually used? Can they even be pronounced? And are they meaningful just because they are made up to be long?
If you’re wondering about some long words in common English, here are some examples. Those words include uncharacteristically (20 letters), deinstitutionalization (22 letters) and counterrevolutionaries (also 22 letters). Or perhaps the word “smiles” is the longest word in English. Sure, it has only six letters, but there is a “mile” between the first and the last letters!
【1】What is the first thing to consider when we decide the longest word?
A.Whether it is a real word. B.Whether it can be pronounced.
C.Whether it is used in daily life. D.Whether it can be understood.
【2】Why does the author mention the underlined questions in paragraph 3?
A.To express the writer’s concern. B.To compare different ideas.
C.To amuse readers. D.To show people’s doubt.
【3】How does the author sound in the last paragraph?
A.Proud. B.Humorous.
C.Excited. D.Surprised.
【4】The text is mainly about _________________________.
A.English words change a lot as time goes by
B.it is hard to decide what the longest word is
C.long words are often used in scientific fields
D.why we can’t understand some English words
