The Dead Sea

At 430 meters below sea level, the Dead Sea is Earth's lowest point on land. It is popular for its wonderful buoyancy(浮力). The high salt content-more than 34 percent - makes swimming more like floating.

Now the Dead Sea is actually dying. People are using water from the Jordan River, which takes water away from the Dead Sea. Since 1930, its surf area has reduced by almost 40 percent.

Venice, Italy

With waterways instead of streets. This "Floating City" has attracted visitors for centuries. But no visit to Venice is complete without a ride on one of its famous gondolas, human powered

water taxis. Water creates Venice. But water will also kill the city.

Built on soft earth, Venice has slowly been sinking (下沉) for centuries. Now, with rising sea levels caused by human activities, it's sinking faster. According to US-based magazine Architectural Digest, the city may disappear in the next 100 years. Better book your gondola soon!

Great Barrier Reef, Australia

Covering  more  than  2,300  kilometers  of  Australia's northeast coast, Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest reef ecosystem, and an ideal place for scuba divers (水肺潜水者).Thousands of colorful coral (珊瑚) and fish make homes in the blue sea water. It's like a big underwater party!

Sadly the party might be over soon. The reef is dying. Human activities are changing the weather. Warming ocean, water kills the coral, and this causes problems up the food chain. The New York Times reported that large parts are already dead, and the reef system might be gone  by 2030.

The world uses about a thousand million (百万) tons of water a day. Water is a human right and everyone should have their share. Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water.

Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. 80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all, and it is running into oceans. But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater.

While 75% of our planet is covered with water, only about 2% is fresh water—that comes from rivers, lakes, ice and snow. The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to drink. Then desalination businesses come in. More than 19,000 factories have been built around the world, mostly in coastal countries. They process (加工) more than 92 million tons of water every day. But the technology they use requires a lot of energy.

Scientists are working to create a less costly technology. They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough. But for now, the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone.

12. How many people have trouble in getting clean water around the world?

A. Under 10 million. B. Only 19 million.

C. About 92 million. D. Over 700 million.

13. Treating wastewater helps the environment by _____.

A. storing waste in ice and snow B. letting waste run into oceans

C. keeping waste out of rivers and oceans D. sending waste to coastal countries

14. What does the underlined word "desalination" in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. 远洋运输 B. 潮汐发电 C. 食盐销售 D. 海水淡化

15. At present, the technology to process water_____.

A. needs much energy B. saves much money

C. satisfies everyone D. causes pollution

16. What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Water should be a human right. B. The water problem is still serious.

C. Our planet is covered with water. D. Everyone has enough clean water.

Sun bears（马来熊）are the smallest of the world’s eight bears species（物种）. They have a black coat and a white or golden colour on their bodies. Their homes are in the tropical（热带雨林）of Southeast Asia. They live in trees and eat both plants and animals. They can grow to be 1.4 metres in height and 65 kilograms in weight. They usually live alone and are happy to spend most of their time by themselves.

    Scientists studied sun bears in the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Center. They found that although sun bears live alone, they have developed a surprising social skill. They can copy (模仿) other sun bear’s facial expression (面部表情) as a form of communication. They can even copy exact muscular (肌肉的) movements that other sun bears make- such as making a face.

    The ability to copy facial expressions is found in humans, gorilla’s (大猩猩), some monkeys and some other animals. But until now, only humans and gorillas have the ability to exactly copy facial expressions. However, scientists found that sun bears can copy facial expression as well as humans and gorillas. This surprised them because sun bears are alone and they have no close relationship with human beings.

    Although they live alone in the wild, the sun bears in the study often played gently with each other. Sometimes they played with faster actions as hitting and biting. Scientists are still not sure what messages the sun bears were sending to one another.

35. According to the passage, where do sun bears usually live?

A. In caves. B. In trees. C. By the river. D. On the ice.

A. they like to live alone in the wild and only eat animals

B. they can copy other sun bears’ facial expressions for communications

C. they can copy exact muscular movements of other sun bears

D. they have no close relationship with human beings

37. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?

A. A warm home on the earth B. A brave animal in the forest

C. A new friend of human beings D. A surprising skill of sun bears

Technology is developing fast and it has become an important part of our life. Then what will the world be like in the future?

    3-D food will be both delicious and nutritious(有营养的). We can use 3-D printers to print some basic materials.    ①    And we can go further. Scientists belive that we just need to turn on a printer in the kitchen and then we can enjoy our favourite food whenever we like.

         ②      5G network will allow many more people to get information. Big companies like China Mobile and China Unicom will start to offer 5G. It is said that promises download speeds 10 to 20 times faster than 4G. For example, we can download a film within just 1 second. But with a 4G network, it takes a few minutes. There will be much bandwidth (带宽) and we can get unlimited (无限的) information.

    Underwater cities will provide more space. The earth is becoming more and more crowded. We may turn to underwater homes which will be built as low as 15 of the sea can be used to provide power for the homes.

         ③      For us common people on the earth, the dream of travelling around space will come true. In the coming years, spacecraft will be as popular as buses, trains and planes. We can leave our home and enter space to take an adventure (冒险). And even we will get used to living there.

    A robot will be a part of life.  Robots can do many of the same things as we humans do like driving cars. But they will be used in other areas as well. They will be able to think. They can tell the difference between right and wrong. They can feel       ④        In a word, just as Jules Verne said, ”Anything one man can imagine, other men can make real.”
