题型：不详难度：来源：
When someone says, “Well, I guess I’ll have to face the music”, it doesn’t mean that he is going to hear a singer. It is something far less happy, as you are called in by your leader to explain why you did this and did that or why you did not do this or that.
At some time or another, every one of us has to “face the music”, especially as children. We can all remember father’s angry words “I want to talk to you.” And only because we did not listen to him. What a bad thing it was!
In the middle or at the end of every term, we students have to “face the music”. The result of the exam will decide whether we will face the music or not. If you got a “D” in the exam, that means parents’ cold faces and the contempt(轻视) of the classmates.
“To face the music” is well-known to every American, young or old. It is at least 100 years old. It really means that you have to do something, no matter how terrible the whole thing might be, because you have no choice.
小题1:“To face the music” means “to ”.| A．do something that we don’t like to | | B．go to the theatre | | C．go to the music show | | D．do something we want to |
小题2:After the exam, we’ll have to “face the music”. That’s why .| A．we like to take the exam | | B．we are afraid of taking the exam | | C．the exam is very important | | D．we are afraid of passing the exam |
小题3:Which of the following is wrong?| A．“To face the music” is well-known in the US. | | B．“To face the music” has a history of more than 100 years. | | C．The young Americans know the meaning of “to face the music”. | | D．Only the old in the US know the meaning of “to face the music” |

Australia is the smallest continent(洲) in the world. It is a little smaller than China. It is near the south of the equator(赤道).So when it is summer in our country, it is winter in Australia.
Australia has a small population (人口).The population of Australia is nearly the same as that of Shanghai, a city in China.
Australia is famous for its sheep and kangaroos. After driving for a short time from any town, you will find yourself in the middle of white sheep. Sheep are everywhere. Have you seen a kangaroo? It has a “bag” below its breast(胸). The mother kangaroo keeps its baby kangaroo in the “bag”. It is very strange, isn’t it?

Lake Victoria is the largest lake in Africa. It is also the second largest lake in the world. It is an important lake because it is one of the sources(源头) for the longest river in the world, the Nile River. Lake Victoria provides a source of water, food, and power(电力) for several African countries. Lake Victoria is a big part of African life.
Unfortunately, Lake Victoria has a problem. It is shrinking. There are several power stations at Lake Victoria in Uganda. These are on the Nile River, and besides producing power, they keep the water of the lake at a certain level. For the past forty years, that level has been 11.9 meters. Over the last several years, the water level has dropped by about 2.5 meters. There seem to be several reasons for this drop.
One possible reason is drought(干旱). Drought has been very bad in the area since 2000. Lake Victoria gets all of its water from rain, so the drought means less water in the lake.
However, some environmentalists believe that the real problem is the power plants(工厂) on Lake Victoria. Uganda depends on those power plants for most of its power, and they made the power plants larger in 2000. Many people believe the power plants have been taking too much water off Lake Victoria. As a result, they have been asked to use less water until Lake Victoria goes back to its old level.
Whether the low water level is caused by drought or power plants, the result is the same. This is already a poor area of Africa, where many people live a really hard life. People, animals and plants around Lake Victoria will suffer even more from low water levels on the lake. Many people need Lake Victoria for fishing or growing food. Fish need the water to live, and animals need it for water. Plants around the lake will die without the water, and then more animals and people will suffer. Unless the lake fills soon, many people will suffer and die.
小题1:Lake Victoria is __________.| A．an important lake in Africa | | B．the largest lake in the world | | C．the source of water, food and power for America | | D．the only source for the Nile River |

小题5:According to the passage, how can we solve the problems around Lake Victoria?| A．People must build more power plants. | | B．More sources of water must be found. | | C．Every country should offer some money to Africa. | | D．All the people living in the area should move to another place. |
