After this meeting,【2】_. At last, I had such a chance to go on such a holiday with some of my schoolmates last month. We went to London, a place where I had wanted to go since years ago.
After we got to London, we went to stay with different families. I was lucky that my host family (寄宿家庭)was a white couple who had a daughter about my age.【3】_. They were interested in me and I learnt a lot of things from then on.
【4】. After breakfast, a local teacher would come to take us in his car. Then we would have classes or go on a sight—seeing trip to different places of interest like Big Ben. London Bridge, and Bockingham Palace. We would go back to our own homes after the activities.

24、Imagine one day, the water taps 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.
【1】_____________ is the name of the capital city of Yemen.
A. Sana B. Lahej C. Hannan D. Times

A. enough drinking water to use

D. more water pollution

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
【5】 Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?

25、Homework is a problem for students all over the world. As a student, you have a lot of homework to do every day. It’s a main part of a student’s school day. It’s the best way to review what you have learned in class. And it helps you understand important concepts (概念) . Luckily, there are several things you can do to make homework less difficult.
☆Be sure you understand the homework.
Write your homework down in your notebook if you need to. Don’t be afraid of asking questions about it. It’s much easier to ask the teacher during or after class than to try to remember later that night!
☆Use your time at school
Many schools have study halls. They allow students to study there. It’s more interesting to play with your friends. But the more homework you finish at school the less you’ll have to do that night.
☆Take a break
It’s difficult to hold your attention for too long. So take a break while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you feel very tired. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people.
☆Make a plan
If you don’t finish your homework at school, think about how much you have left, so you can budget your time. Most students have between 1 and 3 hours of homework a night. If it’s a heavy homework day, you’ll need to spend more time on it. It’s a good idea to make a homework timetable, especially when you want to enjoy sports or other activities.

26、 According to a national study, in the summer of 2013, the long – term(长期的)warm weather in the UK has made the number of butterflies increase.
Around 46,000 volunteers(志愿者)took part in the year’s Big Butterfly Count(统计), and they found 830,000 butterflies. Volunteers were asked to make a record. They would record how many times they found one of 21 different kinds of butterflies.

They found that there was a rise in the number of 15 kinds of butterflies, and some of them went up by 50% compared to recent years. They said the increase in butterfly numbers was a result of warm weather.
