Waiting for the airplane to take off，I was happy to get a seat by myself.

In most cities,    1    or poor, it is the less well off that are most at risk from floods and natural disasters.

In some places, too little water, not too much, is the problem. China’s thirst for industry and    7    (irrigate) has combined with climate change to drain the aquifers (蓄水层). Droughts seem to be even more frequent in northern China, and southern cities such as Guangzhou are also affected.

Any benefits from extra water supplies will be short-term, and damaged by floods.

Ⅴ. 阅读理解

More and more English-educated Chinese Singaporean parents are realizing the importance for their children to be not only good at the English language, but also at Chinese. China has become a great political and economic superpower and they want their children to become bilingual.

It is common knowledge that, to master any language, especially one’s mother tongue, one must begin from childhood. But there are challenges and barriers for children of English-speaking homes to succeed in their journey towards bilingualism.

Take my family as an example. While my wife and I are products of English education, we had some foundation (基础) in Chinese which we kept up in our working life. But the language of communication in our home is mainly English.

We are glad that our three children had between 8 and 11 years’ Chinese schooling before switching over to English schools. Their foundation in Chinese has become an advantage in their adult life. They can hold their own in the spoken language, but they would find it hard to write a business letter in Chinese for lack of usage.

We have a grandson who will be two years old shortly. His parents have given my wife and me the unenviable task of making him bilingual. It is a very tough assignment, as we are with him only a couple of hours on most days. For the rest of the time, he is being surrounded by English sounds by his busy parents.

Fortunately, our perseverance is paying off. After eight months, he has been used to hearing Chinese sounds, and even he can now quite comfortably identify common everyday objects in Chinese.

A. Because most of the Singaporeans come from China.

B. Because their parents are missing their motherland.

2. The underlined word “bilingual” in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.

A. a person who knows English

3. What do we know about the author and his children?

A. He lives in China now.

B. His children hate learning English.

C. He usually speaks English at home.

D. His three children master Chinese very well.

4. The author uses the example of teaching his grandson mainly to prove that ________.

B. his foundation in Chinese is a big advantage in teaching his grandson

Ⅲ. 1.【解析】选B。根据下一句可知空姐想让作者“换”座位。本段最后部分提到还有一个空座，也是暗示。

2.【解析】选C。本段开头部分提到作者很高兴自己找到了一个座位，再结合句中的only一词可判断这是惟一剩下的座位。

3.【解析】选A。作者最终改变了初衷，“决定”坐在那个座位上。前面提到作者最初不想那么做，因此B项不恰当。作者并没有自己事先承诺，所以D项不正确。

4.【解析】选A。根据上一段中对她的描写可推断她此行的目的是“治疗”。

5.【解析】选C。作者很快就“意识”到她由于胳膊上打着绷带，不能自己吃东西。A项表示“知道”，语意不恰当；recognize表示“认出”，语句不通顺。

6.【解析】选B。她不能给自己“喂”东西，下一句中的feed her也提供了暗示。根据snack and juice可知eat不太恰当。

7.【解析】选A。offer to do sth. 表示“主动提出做某事”，下文中的“I offered to help her eat. . . ”也提供了线索。

8.【解析】选A。作者认为这么做似乎“没有礼貌”。喂食物理应靠近，所以C项不合理；前面提到食物端上来之后，作者意识到她无法吃东西才决定帮她，并不是一见面就想提供帮助，因此D项不恰当。

9.【解析】选D。作者和她只是萍水相逢。文中没有交代作者的性别，因此难以确定是性别差异引起的尴尬；作者本身也是“乘客”，所以C项不正确。

10.【解析】选C。她的需要比自己的不适更“重要”。A项表示“非同寻常的”，指的是与以往不同，语意不恰当。

11.【解析】选A。作者为能帮助别人而内心感到无比“温暖”。下一段中的Love一词也提供了暗示。cheer表示“欢呼”，语意不太恰当。

12.【解析】选C。结合本句中的the five-hour trip可知强调的是“时间”。自己坐在座位上不需要花费“能量；精力”。

13.【解析】选D。作者字里行间是对自己的做法表示肯定，前三项都表示否定意义，可排除。

14.【解析】选A。that keep us separate是定语从句，修饰先行词fears。由于恐惧，我们无法进行沟通，被这堵无形的墙“分开”。此处与borders相呼应。

15.【解析】选B。当我们“跨越”恐惧的界限，伸出温暖的双手时，就可以生活在一个更广阔的世界中。happen to do sth. 表示“碰巧发生某事”，不符合语意；D项在文中没有信息支持。

Ⅳ.

1.【解析】rich，rich or poor是并列词语，or表示转折，根据逻辑填入反义词。

2.【解析】选D。词义猜测题。第一段第一句提到，越来越多的接受英语教育的新加坡籍华人意识到孩子擅长英语和汉语的重要性，因此bilingual应指“会两种语言的人”。

3.【解析】选C。细节理解题。由第三段最后一句可知，作者和妻子在家里主要说英语。

4.【解析】选A。推理判断题。由第二段第二句可知对于一个英语环境下的儿童，要掌握汉语需要克服很多困难和挑战，再根据第五段第三、四句可知，作者认为这是一项艰难的任务，因为他的孙子每天大多数时间都和讲英语的父母呆在一起。可知作者举这个例子的主要目的是为了证明第二段提出的观点，即“对于一个英语环境下的儿童，要掌握汉语需要克服很多困难和挑战”。

5.【解析】选B。推理判断题。由第四段第二句“Their foundation in Chinese has become an advantage in their adult life. ”可知作者的孩子们有一些汉语基础，这成为他们在生活中的优势，由此推知，在新加坡懂汉语正在成为一种优势。

6. More and more Singaporean parents realize the importance for their children of learning Chinese. But it has many challenges and barriers for children of English-speaking homes to succeed in their journey towards bilingualism.
