2、

Many have heard of shark fin soup. This famous and expensive dish is especially popular in southern China. But do you realize that you’re killing a whole shark each time you 【1】 a bowl of shark fin soup?

When people catch sharks, they cut off their fins and 【2】 the sharks back into the ocean. This is not only cruel, but also harmful to the environment. Without a fin, a shark can no longer swim and 【3】 dies. Sharks are at the top of the food chain in the ocean’s ecosystem. If their numbers drop too low, it will bring danger to all ocean life. Many believe that sharks can never be endangered because they are the strongest in their food chain. But 【4】, around 70 million sharks are caught and traded in this industry every year. The numbers of some kinds of sharks have fallen by over 90 percent in the last 20 to 30 years.

Environmental protection groups around the world, such as Wild Aid and the WWF, are teaching the public about “finning”. They have 【5】 asked governments to develop laws to stop the sale of shark fins. So far, no scientific studies have shown that shark’s fins are good for health, so why eat them? Help save the sharks!

21、Mr. Hunt came from a poor family. He had three brothers and two sisters. His father worked hard but wasn’t paid much. And his mother did all the housework at home. They were both able but they couldn’t get enough money for their family.

Mr. Hunt was in school for only three years and he had to stop to help his parents though he was good at his lessons. When he was sixteen, he came to the city and began to work in a small factory. He learned from an old worker and became a skilled worker. The old worker liked him and married（嫁，娶） his daughter to him. The young man did not have his own house and had to live with his parents-in-law(岳父母). His mother-in-law always thought he was poor and often chattered(唠叨). So the young man tried to save everything and hoped to have his own house.

It was one fine Sunday. The old woman wanted to have a picnic on the top of the hill. She told Mr. Hunt to drive her car. But sometimes she told him to turn left and sometimes to turn right. The young man had to listen to her. At a crossing the lights were red but she made him turn left. The policeman stopped them and told the young man to give his license to him.

22、In December 2021, people in Shenzhen found that water ran more slowly from their taps. The government said the.city was facing its most serious water shortage（短缺）ever.

Some other cities in the southern part of China, like Chengdu and Guangzhou, are also becoming “thirsty”, The Paper reported. Compared with northern areas, southern areas have more rain and are close to more rivers and lakes. So why are they still short on water?

In big cities like Shenzhen and Guangzhou, populations are growing fast. As a result, people and factories need more and more water. Each person in Shenzhen has less than 200 cubic meters of water each year. It’s 1/12 of the country’s average. According to the United Nations, it is an “absolute water shortage” (极度缺水) when the number is below 500 cubic meters.

Climate change is making the water problem worse. For example, most cities in Guangdong rely on the Dongjiang River as their main source (源) of water. In 2021, the river was reported to be drying up. Because of climate change, there’s also less snow in the mountains of Tibet. The snow has long been the source of water for many areas in China. Those mountains might provide less water in the future.

There are other reasons for water shortages. For example, water pollution makes it harder to get clean drinking water. Factories and farms don’t use water efficiently (有效地). Some cities have enough rainfall but don’t have big lakes or reservoirs (水库) to store water. The water just goes into the sea.

【1】Why does the writer call these cities “thirsty”?

A．Because they have wasted too much water.

B．Because they use more water than other cities.

C．Because they have few lakes and rivers.

D．Because they are short on water.

【2】The amount of water each person has in Shenzhen each year ________.

A．meets the UN’s standards

B．is higher than the country’s average

C．shows that the city’s water problem is serious

D．is the same as other parts of China

【3】Which of the following words can replace the word “rely” in paragraph 4?

A．depend

B．focus

C．advise

D．reply

【4】Why is there less water in China’s rivers according to Paragraph 4?

A．People are using up the water in these rivers.

B．The rivers flow through many areas with less rain.

C．Mountains in Tibet have less snow.

D．Most water goes to the sea before people can get it.

【5】Which of the following is NOT a reason for the water shortage mentioned in the last paragraph?

A．Water pollution.

B．Wasting water.

C．Lack of storing place.

D．Climate change.
