试题分析:考查倍数表达法。本题中的倍数是分数的形式one third三分之一;倍数表达有四种:1. “A+倍数+形容词或副词的比较级+than+B”, 2.“A+倍数+as+形容词或副词的原级+as+B”, 3. “A+倍数+the size/height/length/width, etc+of+B”, 4. “……times+what+从句”。本题使用了第2种;句意:在国际市场上,原油的价格已经下降了,现在的几个是原来的3分之一。故B正确。
点评:倍数表达要牢记,倍数表达法是高中英语教学的重点,也是历届高考的热点。当我们要表达甲是乙的几倍时,通常用句型来表示:
1. “A+倍数+形容词或副词的比较级+than+B”,表示“A比B大(长、高、宽等)多少倍”。如:
 This rope is twice longer than that one. 这根绳子是那根绳子的两倍长(比那根绳子长一倍)。
2.“A+倍数+as+形容词或副词的原级+as+B”,表示“A正好是B的多少倍”。如:
 Asia is four times as large as Europe. 亚洲的面积是欧洲的四倍。
3. “A+倍数+the size/height/length/width, etc+of+B”,表示“A正好是B的多少倍”。如:
This street is four times the length of that one. 这条街是那条街的四倍长。
4. “……times+what+从句”。如:
The production is now three times what it was ten years ago. 现在的产量比十年前增加了两倍。
举一反三
首先请阅读以下一些青少年杂志的简要介绍:
A. Teens Now is a successful music magazine for teenagers that lists who is playing, where and when and how to get tickets. Interviews with well-known singers and groups as well as biographies are included. It also gives its young readers the chance to send their own articles.
B. NS Teens magazine is well-known for its wildlife and environmental content but it also has articles on the history and culture of people from all over the world.

Many people have trouble with reading. Reading is a process of the brain where you look at eaning in them. If you develop good reading skills, it’ll be very helpful to your future. Aren’t your school teachers always saying “Read more books!”?
Read as much as you are able. Start with titles, names, or other larger print items that you may know or ever thought about. When you start getting bored or need a break, take one. Reading should be fun and enjoyable, don’t force it. After your break, return to where you were, and continue.
Read the page carefully. Don’t rush, take your time. Most people think that skimming the pages is a way of fast reading, but this definitely not true.
Use context clues to find out a word’s meaning. Context clues are when a person figures out the meaning of a word by seeing how the word was used in a sentence. For example, you were reading the following sentence and wanted to know what “pessimist” means: My mother is always happy and optimistic, the total opposite of my brother, the pessimist. So from the sentence, you can gather that “pessimist” means the opposite of happy. If you find a really difficult word, use the dictionary!
Reread! If you don’t understand what you are reading, read over the sentence(s) again. Try reading the words out loud to yourself. If you still don’t understand something, ask a good reader nearby to explain the sentence(s) to you, or simply pick up a book that is easier to read and more proper to your reading level. Feel free to use your finger as a pointer. It will keep your eyes focused on the line you are reading, improving your understanding!
Keep reading! Try to read as much as you can in your free time. Reading will help you in lots of ways; your vocabulary will become larger and you will notice your grades change for the better in school. Have fun reading!
To get the most comprehension, avoid lying down while reading. While reading in bed can help you relax and fall asleep, you can remember more information by having a good posture(姿势)while reading.

阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写在横线上(请注意问题后的词数要求)
[1] For the people living in the Nile Basin,the river is their life. This 6,825 km river,whose watershed (流域) covers three million square kilometers,flows through mountains,woodlands,lakes and deserts. Its potential for fishing,tourism and shipping is great — but so are its challenges.
[2] Water shortage,already serious in Egypt and Sudan,will soon influence several other countries in the watershed, too. Today,about 160 million people depend on the Nile River for their living. Within the next 25 years,the district"s population is expected to double,adding to the demand brought about by growth in industry and agriculture. The frequent drought adds to the urgency.
[3] Water quality is also a problem. Precious soil is washed out to sea. Wastes from industry and agriculture create pollution. Higher concentrations of salt influence irrigated soils. Water­borne diseases continue unchecked. In areas where it"s hot and damp,water hyacinths choke off lakes,dams and other sections of the river,making it difficult for fishing and other businesses to move forward.
[4] Native people along the narrow area of farmland have watched the sand move closer day by day. They"ve seen the river change course,and their only source of water thickened with mud. They"re very poor and have few choices.
[5] But a new program,the Nile Basin Initiative,is offering very practical assistance. The program is ________ a water­management project. It"s a plan for the social and economic development of a vast district as well:it concentrates on the needs of the poorest of the poor and the environment that supports them.
[6] These are whole ecosystem problems,calling for united solutions.Half the Nile Basin"s countries are among the world"s poorest nations;yet,somehow,they must find the resources,skills and political will to overcome these challenges.
