24、

Earth is about 75% water. But most of that water is salty. Only about 2.5% of Earth’s water is fresh water — the kind we can drink and that plants need to grow. Much of Earth’s fresh water is locked up in ice caps. In all, just 1% of Earth’s water can be used for washing, drinking, cooking, and watering crops.

       In some countries, people don’t usually worry about having enough clean, fresh water. People just turn on a faucet(水龙头) and there it is. In some countries, though, water is scarce(稀缺的). People in Africa, Asia, and Latin America have serious water shortages.

       What causes water shortages? In some places, well water is being used faster than wells can refill. In other places, droughts — long periods without enough rain—mean there is not enough water. Some parts of the United States are now having water problems because of drought. Evaporation(蒸发) is a big problem in some parts of the world. When the sun shines on water, the water turns into vapor(水蒸气) and rises into the air. The water is gone before it can do any good. The ground becomes dry. Nothing can grow. Not all fresh water is safe to drink. Water in wells, lakes, and rivers may have bad things that cause illness. When water is dirty, it can be dangerous to drink. Dirty water is making children sick. It is dangerous to get a drink or even wash your hands.

       But the news isn’t all bad. Mansoor Ali, who works for the United Nations, says water problems can be solved. Kids and adults are learning how to protect water and how to use it wisely.

【1】How much of Earth’s water can be used for washing, drinking, cooking, and watering crops?

A．1%.

【2】Which of the following is TRUE?

A．Water problems can’t be solved.

B．All of the fresh water is safe to drink.

C．People in America have serious water shortages.

D．Evaporation is one of the reasons for water shortages.

【3】What will happen if the ground becomes dry?

A．Crops can’t grow.

B．Vapor will rise into the air.

C．Water will become dirty.

D．Wells can refill.

【4】According to the text, washing your hands with the dirty water is ________.

A．acceptable

B．meaningless

C．harmful

D．special

【5】What can we learn from the text?

A．We should stop using the fresh water.

B．There is too much water to be used up.

C．Everyone should protect water and use it wisely.

D．Only a few places in the world face water shortages.

25、   In the Spring and Autumn period (春秋时期), the state of Wu (吴国) and the state of Yue (越国) were neighbors. But there were always wars between them. During a war Wu beat Yue.

27、We often praise the world of science. It explains the world and makes our lives easier with technology. One of the most exciting fields in science is artificial intelligence (人工智能，AI). This is an area where scientists are working on creating machines that think like humans.

However，one of the most famous scientists has a very dark warning for us about this type of technology.

“The development of full artificial intelligence could lead to the end of the human race,” said Professor Stephen Hawking to the BBC.

Hawking is a well-known British Physicist and writer of bestselling science book A Brief History of Time. This warning came from a serious disease called ALS; he needs an AI computer to communicate. The computer learns how Hawking thinks and suggests the words he may want to use next.

This is a basic type of AI, which is very useful, yet Hawking fears the possibility of creating technology that can match or go beyond human intelligence. And it’s easy to imagine how terrible things may be. Many TV shows and films display big, killer machines that are far cleverer than us. “Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution(进化), couldn’t compete, ” said Hawking.

But not every scientist is pessimistic(悲观的)about AI technology. “I believe we will remain in charge of（掌控) the technology. “ The potential(潜力)of it to solve many of the world problems will be realized.” In what direction do you think AI is going? Should we be hopeful or fearful?

【1】Which of the following is TRUE about AI？

A. The technology is not very popular now.

B. Scientists haven’t controlled the technology.

C. It is now much smarter than humans.

D. It makes our lives easier.

【2】The writer took Hawking as an example to ____________.

A. explain how AI has helped us

B. show the great hidden use of AI

C. show AI has already become part of our life

D. suggest that AI become dangerous for humans

【3】What would be the best title for this passage?

A. AI: a friend or an enemy?

B. The development of AI

C. The future of human beings

D. The fight between humans and AI

Conor McClory and Sophie Curran found a time capsule (时空胶囊) on a beach in Ireland recently. They opened it and found it was full 【1】 letters, poems, pictures and other small things. One of the letters was written on August 4, 2018. It said, “【2】 ['evrɪθɪŋ] around is covered by ice. We think that by the time this letter is found there will be no more ice in the Arctic (北极) unfortunately.”

The capsule was buried (掩埋) in the North Pole by people on an ice-breaking ship. They 【3】 [θɔ:t] it wouldn’t be found for another 30-50 years. Sadly, they were very 【4】. The time capsule was freed from the melting (融化的) ice in less than two years. The finding of it 【5】 (show) how quickly the Arctic ice is melting.

Global warming is 【6】 (make) the ice melt more quickly, and the Arctic is warming twice as fast as anywhere else. In 2020, for the 【7】 (one) time ever, the Arctic sea ice did not refreeze by late 【8】 [ɒk’təʊbə(r)]. The Arctic has just set a record for the least amount of ice ever at this time of year.

Conor McClory and Sophie Curran are worried about the climate change. They hope that 【10】 story will encourage others to “do their bit with the environment even if it’s one small change”.
