Faced with the threat of-water shortages, Beijing and Shanghai will take effective measures to save water and protect water resources.
Beijing will stick more strictly to water saving policies through the readjustment（重新调整）of industrial structures. Beijing is expected to be short of 1, 185 billion cubic meters of water by 2020. Beijing will shut down factories with high water consumption（消耗）and pollution including electric power, steel and paper manufacturing equipment. Advanced and water-saving technology will be introduced to new industrial projects in the capital city.
Grain-growing areas will be reduced to save ground water and more trees will be planted. Animal breeding and other “high efficient” agriculture with modern water-saving irrigation methods will be developed.
It is said that water used in agriculture will drop to 35 percent of the city's water consumption in 2010 from 43 percent in 1998, and the figure will continue to drop to28 ~ 30 percent in 2020. Beijing will increase the speed of renovation（修复）of its urban water supply equipment. It is reported that more than 15 percent of water is lost during distribution（分发）. Water-saving equipment and efficient management can save Beijing more than 537 million cubic meters by 2010.
Shanghai still faces key problems connected with its water resources and environments. Since 1998, the city has invested nearly US $169 million to treat its rivers, especially Suzhou Creek. The city's rivers have become noticeably clearer since putting it into action.
The government will provide a further US $ 24 million for the treatment of rivers and US $12 million to treat sewage（污物）.
This year's task is to improve the water quality at the three ports of Longhua, Yangshupa and Hongkou. Another emphasis to raise the water system is Songjiang New Area with a project worth US $ 4.8 million. Efforts will be made to improve public awareness about the need to protect water resources.
（1）How many measures has Beijing taken to save water and protect water resources?
[ ]
（2）Grain-growing areas in Beijing will be reduced because ________.
[ ]
A. grain can't fetch a good price in China
B. a lot of ground water will be saved by this means
C. Beijing helps to develop advanced technology
D. highly effective agriculture needs less farmland
（3）Beijing can save over 537 million cubic meters by 2010 by means of ________.
[ ]
a. water-saving equipment
b. effective management
c. artificial rain fall
d. reducing water pollution
（4）The author wrote the passage to tell us ________.
[ ]
A. Beijing and Shanghai are short of water
B. to save every drop of water in our daily life
C. big cities like Beijing and Shanghai are trying their best to protect water resources
D. water shortages have become one of the most important problems that China has to deal with

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers(young people aged from13~19)from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.
Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.
Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected—much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.
Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.
“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”
At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize(批评)American schools,” he said. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”
This year ________teenagers will take part in the exchange programme between America and other countries.
twenty-three hundred
thirteen hundred
over three thousand
less than two thousand
The whole exchange programme is mainly to__________.
help teenagers in other countries know the real America
send students in America to travel in Germany
let students learn something about other countries
have teenagers learn new languages
Fred and Mike agree that__________.
America food tasted better than German food
German schools were harder than American schools
Americans and Germans were both friendly
There were more cars on the streets in America
What is particular in American schools is that________.
there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings
there are a lot of after-school activities
students usually take fourteen subjects in all
students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car

If you think American cooking means opening a package and throwing the contents into the microwave oven （微波炉）， think again. On one hand, it’s true that many Americans have cold cereal ( 谷类食品 ) for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and instant dinners. From busy homemakers to working people, many Americans enjoy the convenience of fast food that can be ready to serve in 10 minutes or less. On the other hand, many Americans realize the importance of cooking skills. Parents－especially mothers－see the importance of training their children－ especially daughters. Most Americans think that there’s nothing better than a good home-cooked meal. But with cooking, as with any other skill, good results don’t happen by accident.
Probably every cook has his or her own way of cooking. But there are some basic skills that most people follow. For example, baking is a main method of preparing food in America. For that reason, Americans would find it next to impossible to live without an oven. American cooks pay special attention to the balance of foods, too. In planning a big meal they try to include meat, a few vegetables, some bread and often a dessert. They also like to make sure the meal is colouful. Having several different colors of food on the plate usually makes for a healthy meal.
For those who need guidance in their cooking, or for those who have just run out of ideas, recipes are a great help. Recipes list all the ingredients for a dish ( generally in the order used ), the amount of each to use, and a description of how to put them together.
61.This passage mainly tells us that _______________.
A.Americans usually have fast food, but they pay special attention to cooking as well.
B.without an oven, Americans find it impossible to live conveniently.
C.Americans pay special attention to recipes and nutritious meals.
D.Americans like to have several different colors of food on the plate.
62.The underlined word “ convenience “ in the first paragraph means _______________.
A.the lower and acceptable price
B.being suitable to one’s comfort or needs.
C.The high quality and low price.
D.The unusual taste of the food.
63.Many Americans have cold cereal for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and instant dinner because ______________.
A.they like instant food very much
B.they don’t like cooking at all.
C.most American working people are busy and don’t have time to cook
D.fast food is delicious and it usually contains a lot of vitamins.
64.By saying “ But with cooking, as with any other skill, good results don’t happen by accident, the author means _____________.
A.good cooking doesn’t come easily; it needs a lot of practice
B.just like any other skill, cooking may bring good results
C.cooking comes from one’s gift, not through practice
D cooking can lead to accidents
65.From the passage, we know that _____________.
A.Americans don’t care about food
B.Americans are not good at cooking because they like to use recipes
C.an oven plays an important role in cooking for Americans
D.while cooking, Americans usually run out of ideas
