     The shortage of clean drinking water is a major problem worldwide.The World Health Organization
says more than one billion people live in areas where fresh water resources are not available.The problem
is especially serious in Asia and the Pacific.A United Nations report says water availability in that area is
the second lowest in the world,after Africa.
     Nearly half a billion people in Asia and the Pacific don"t have enough safe drinking water.The United
Nations report notes that the world"s poor countries are also the ones that use the most water for
agriculture.Agriculture uses about 80% of the water in the AsiaPacific area.There has also been an increase in water used for industry.India used three times more industrial water between 1999 and 2009 than in the past.
     The shortage of clean drinking water around the world forces millions of people to drink unsafe water.
This leads to an increase in diseases like diarrhea  (腹泻),the second leading cause of death in children.
Floods,pollution and climate change have made the water crisis more serious.
     The Millennium Development Goals for 2015 plans a 50% decrease in the number of people without
safe drinking water.Scientists,governments and aid organizations around the world are increasing their
efforts to meet these goals.Still the United Nations says there is much work to be done.During this World Water Day celebration it called on other organizations to work together to fight against the water crisis.
     The American researchers are designing a new technology for turning sea water into drinking water.The process uses electricity to help bring salt out from sea water to make it drinkable.The technology removed 99% of the salt and other harmful materials from sea water.So far the method has purified only small
amounts of water.But the researchers say it may someday be available as a personal water purifying
machine.
1. Which of the following has the lowest water availability in the world?
A. Asia.
B. Africa.
C. Europe.
D. Australia.
2. What"s the condition of water in poor countries?

     In a world with limited land,water and other natural resources,the harm from the traditional business
model is on the rise.Actually,the past decade has seen more and more forests disappearing and the globe
becoming increasingly warm.People now realize that this unhealthy situation must be changed,and that we must be able to develop in sustainable ways.That means growth with low carbon or development of
sustainable products.In other words,we should keep the earth healthy while using its supply of natural
resources.
     Today,sustainable development is a popular trend in many countries.According to a recent study,the
global market for lowcarbon energy will become three times bigger over the next decade.China,for
example,has set its mind on leading that market,hoping to seize chances in the new round of the global
energy revolution.It is now trying hard to make full use of wind and solar energy,and is spending a huge
amount of money making electric cars and highspeed trains.In addition,we are also seeing great growth in
the global markets for sustainable products such as palm oil,which is produced without cutting down
valuable rainforest.In recent years the markets for sustainable products have grown by more than 50%.
     Governments can fully develop the potential of these new markets.First,they can set high targets for
reducing carbon emissions (排放) and targets for saving and reusing energy.Besides,stronger arrangement of public resources like forests can also help to speed up the development.Finally,governments can avoid
the huge expenses that are taking us in the wrong direction,and redirecting some of those expenses can
accelerate the change from traditional model to a sustainable one.
     The major challenge of this century is to find ways to meet the needs of a growing population within the limits of this single planet.That is no small task,but it offers abundant new chances for sustainable product
industries.
1. The traditional business model is harmful because of all the following EXCEPT that  ________.
A. it makes the world warmer
B. it consumes natural resources
C. it brings severe damage to forests
D. it makes growth hard to continue
2. What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A. China lacks wind and solar energy.
B. China is the leader of the lowcarbon market.
C. Highspeed trains are a lowcarbon development.
D. Palm oil is made at the cost of valuable forests.
3. To full develop the lowcarbon markets,,government can ________.
A. cut public expenses
B. forbid carbon emission
C. develop public resources
D. encourage energy conservation
4. We can learn from the last paragraph that businesses have many chances to ________.
A. develop sustainable products
B. explore new natural resources
C. make full use of natural resources
D. deal with the major challenge
5. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce a new business model.
B. To compare two business models.
C. To predict a change of the global market.
D. To advocate sustainable development.

     Trees are useful to man in three important ways: they give him wood and other useful things, they give
him cool places, and they help to stop drought and flood.
     Unluckily, in many parts of the world, man has not found that the third of these points is the most
important. Man wants to make money from trees, so he has cut them down in large numbers, only to find
that without them he has lost the best friends he had. And also, he is usually too careless to plant and look after new trees. So the forests slowly disappear.
     This does not only mean that man will have fewer trees. The results are even worse: for where there are trees, their roots break up soil, make the rain in, and also bind the soil, thus stopping it from being washed away easily; but where there are no trees, the rain falls on hard ground and flows away, causing floods and carrying away the rich top-soil. When all the top-soil is gone, nothing is left but useless desert.
1. The most important points of trees to man is ________.
A. they help him to make money
B. they give him cool
C. they give him wood and other things
D. they help him to stop drought and floods
2. In many places forests slowly disappear because ________.
A. many trees have been cut down by man
B. new trees are not well looked after
C. man has not paid enough attention to planting trees
D. all the above
3. Land becomes desert after all trees are cut down because ________.
A. roots of trees break up the soil
B. there are too many rainfalls to make it
C. strong winds bring a lot of sand
D. no tree keeps the rain and protects the top-soil.
4. Which title best fits the passage?
A. Trees and Man
B. The Function of Tree Wood
C. How do People do with Trees?
D. The Usage of Tree Roots

阅读理解     Think about the different ways that people use the wind. You can use it to fly a kite or to sail a boat.
Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power sources(来源) as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows that windmills(风车)began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first
introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of
using wind power.
    For many centuries, people used windmills to grind(磨碎)wheat into flour or pump water from deep
underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s. people living in remote areas began to use them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the1940s
when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely
used.
     During the 1970s,people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and gas are burned to produce electricity .People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last
forever .Then, wind was rediscovered ,though it means higher costs. Today ,there is a global movement to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.1. From the text we know that windmillsA. were invented by European armies
B. have a history of more than 2,800 years
C. used to supply power to radio in remote areas
D. have rarely been used since electricity was discovered2. What was a new use for wind power in the late 19th century?A. Sailing a boat.
B. Producing electricity
C. Grinding wheat into flour.
D. Pumping water from underground3. One of the reasons wind was rediscovered in the 1970s is that_________.A. wind power is cleaner
B. it is one of the oldest power sources
C. it was cheaper to create energy from wind
D. the supply of coal and gas failed to meet needs4. What would the author probably discuss in the paragraph that follows?A. The advantages of wind power.
B. The design of wind power plants.
C. The worldwide movement to save energy
D. The global trend towards producing power from wind
