三、阅读理解（分2节，共35分）
第一节、 阅读填空（40分）
A
Look at the Earth from space. Why does our planet look so blue? It’s 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）.
26. How many important areas of water are mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
27. The underlined sentence “We also need it clean” in Paragraph 4 means” ________.”
学学科科网网（（北北京京））股股份份有有限限公公司司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
28. 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

Andrew was smart when he was young. He liked doing things in a way that he thought to be clever. But
sometimes he made wrong decisions.

China’s Foreign Minister Mr. Wang Yi highly praised Edgar Snow
（1905-1972）, a reporter from America on March 7 this year during the
National People’s Congress in Beijing. He said Snow was always “staying
truthful and objective（客观的）and standing by justice （正义） and
conscience （良心）.”
Snow came to China in 1928. He spent over 10 years in China trying to
understand its people and showing what he learned to the rest of the world. He
is best known for his books and articles on Communism （共产主义）in China and the Chinese Communist
Revolution （革命）. For example ，Red Star Over China, which came out in the 1930s, is known as the first
book that introduced China’s revolution to the west. In it, Snow collected first hand information on the Long
March, as well as on the work and life of members of the Communist Party of China.
Many westerners were introduced to the Party through his book. Norman Bethune, a Canadian doctor, came to
China after reading Snow’s book. He worked hard to save the lives of Chinese soldiers during World War II.
“When the whole world had forgotten us, Snow came to see us and told the world what had happened. We will
remember Snow’s great help to China forever,” Chairman Mao said during the interview with a German reporter in
1938.
Snow’s spirit is not only needed now, but also in the future. No matter what era（时代）it is, people all over
the world always need some connection, as well as understanding and help from each other.
