Look at the Earth from space. Why does our planet look so blue? Its blue because water covers almost three quarters of the Earth's surface. Water is not just an important part of our planet. It is an important part of our body, too. More than half of our total body weight is water.
Our body loses water whenever we exercise or go to the toilet. That's why we need to drink plenty of water every day. We drink water. We use it to cook, clean and carry waste out of our homes. Farmers use it to grow vegetables and crops like rice and corn; factories use it to make products.
Since the 1950s, the amount (数量) of water people use has increased by three times. But the water supply (供应) hasn't. Scientists worry that soon there won't be enough water for us, as well as for the animals and plants that share our world. What can we do to help? Use water wisely.
Having enough water isn't our only problem. We also need it clean.
Right now, ships and factories are putting wastes into seas, rivers and so on. Even chemicals that farmers use are running into rivers and lakes. All this pollution can make the water dangerous to drink. It can also harm fish and other water-living lives.
We must do something to stop pollution. It's the best way to protect our world's most valuable natural resource (资源).
17. How many important areas of water are mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
18. The underlined sentence "We also need it clean" in Paragraph 4 means "______".
A. We also need water to wash things
B. We also need water that looks clean
C. We also need to keep water clean
D. We also need to discover clean water
19. This passage was written to ______.
A. ask people to value water
B. advise people to drink more water
C. introduce the uses of water
D. describe the situation of water supply
E
Many scientists once believed that physical similarities between identical twins are genetic （基因的），while their personalities，intelligence and other differences between them are an effect of their environment.Now scientists are discovering that the boundaries between genes and environment are not so clear.
Twins Jim Springer and Jim Lewis were adopted（领养） as babies and raised by different couples.When the Jims finally met at age 39，they discovered they had plenty in common.Both were six feet tall，180 pounds.They had the same smile and the same voice.When scientist Thomas Bouchard Jr.invited the Jim twins to his lab，people there found it very hard to tell them apart.
But the similarities didn't stop at the physical.They'd both had dogs named Toy.They had both married women named Linda and then their marriage broke up.They'd both been policemen，enjoyed music，and left love notes around the house for their wives.They had so much in common，it seemed unlikely these were just coincidences（巧合）.
The Jim twins were just one of 137 sets of separated twins Bouchard tested.When they compared the twins' IQ scores，Bouchard and his team reached a surprising conclusion.They concluded that intelligence was mostly connected to genes rather than to training or education.It seemed the differences in family and environment had little effect.
However，genes can't control everything，argues geneticist Danielle Reed，who also studies twins.Reed's research shows that though nothing can truly change our DNA，environmental differences that a child experiences before birth and in their first year can sometimes affect the way the DNA behaves，making even identical twins into very different people."What I like to say is that Mother Nature writes some things in pencil and some things in pen，"She explains."Things written in pen you can't change.That's DNA.But things written in pencil you can."
20. How many physical similarities between the Jim twins are mentioned？ ______
A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.
21. What did Bouchard's study find about the twins？ ______
A. Each seemed to be as tall as their twin.
B. Each had the same hobby as their twin.
C. Each had almost the same ability as their twin.
D. Each had about the same IQ level as their twin.
22. What is Reed's opinion about genes and environment？ ______
A. Only DNA has an effect on our development.
B. Environment could possibly change some things about us.
C. There are no boundaries between genes and environment.
D. Environmental differences can sometimes change our DNA.

Look at the Earth from space. Why does our planet look so blue? Its blue because water covers almost three quarters of the Earth's surface. Water is not just an important part of our planet. It is an important part of our body, too. More than half of our total body weight is water.
Our body loses water whenever we exercise or go to the toilet. That's why we need to drink plenty of water every day. We drink water. We use it to cook, clean and carry waste out of our homes. Farmers use it to grow vegetables and crops like rice and corn; factories use it to make products.
Since the 1950s, the amount (数量) of water people use has increased by three times. But the water supply (供应) hasn't. Scientists worry that soon there won't be enough water for us, as well as for the animals and plants that share our world. What can we do to help? Use water wisely.
Having enough water isn't our only problem. We also need it clean.
Right now, ships and factories are putting wastes into seas, rivers and so on. Even chemicals that farmers use are running into rivers and lakes. All this pollution can make the water dangerous to drink. It can also harm fish and other water-living lives.
We must do something to stop pollution. It's the best way to protect our world's most valuable natural resource (资源).
17. How many important areas of water are mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
18. The underlined sentence "We also need it clean" in Paragraph 4 means "______".
A. We also need water to wash things
B. We also need water that looks clean
C. We also need to keep water clean
D. We also need to discover clean water
19. This passage was written to ______.
A. ask people to value water
B. advise people to drink more water
C. introduce the uses of water
D. describe the situation of water supply
E
Many scientists once believed that physical similarities between identical twins are genetic （基因的），while their personalities，intelligence and other differences between them are an effect of their environment.Now scientists are discovering that the boundaries between genes and environment are not so clear.
Twins Jim Springer and Jim Lewis were adopted（领养） as babies and raised by different couples.When the Jims finally met at age 39，they discovered they had plenty in common.Both were six feet tall，180 pounds.They had the same smile and the same voice.When scientist Thomas Bouchard Jr.invited the Jim twins to his lab，people there found it very hard to tell them apart.
But the similarities didn't stop at the physical.They'd both had dogs named Toy.They had both married women named Linda and then their marriage broke up.They'd both been policemen，enjoyed music，and left love notes around the house for their wives.They had so much in common，it seemed unlikely these were just coincidences（巧合）.
The Jim twins were just one of 137 sets of separated twins Bouchard tested.When they compared the twins' IQ scores，Bouchard and his team reached a surprising conclusion.They concluded that intelligence was mostly connected to genes rather than to training or education.It seemed the differences in family and environment had little effect.
However，genes can't control everything，argues geneticist Danielle Reed，who also studies twins.Reed's research shows that though nothing can truly change our DNA，environmental differences that a child experiences before birth and in their first year can sometimes affect the way the DNA behaves，making even identical twins into very different people."What I like to say is that Mother Nature writes some things in pencil and some things in pen，"She explains."Things written in pen you can't change.That's DNA.But things written in pencil you can."
20. How many physical similarities between the Jim twins are mentioned？ ______
A. 2. B. 3. C. 4. D. 5.
21. What did Bouchard's study find about the twins？ ______
A. Each seemed to be as tall as their twin.
B. Each had the same hobby as their twin.
C. Each had almost the same ability as their twin.
D. Each had about the same IQ level as their twin.
22. What is Reed's opinion about genes and environment？ ______
A. Only DNA has an effect on our development.
B. Environment could possibly change some things about us.
C. There are no boundaries between genes and environment.
D. Environmental differences can sometimes change our DNA.
23. The paper money in your wallet has some new friends.China has upgraded the fifth edition （版本） of the renminbi（RMB）.The new money has brighter colors and new security features（防伪特征）.（1） ______
