26、   You might not regard England, which is famous for its almost year round rain, as a place with a water shortage problem. However, James Bevan, head of the UK Environment Agency, warned at a recent conference that England will lack water within 25 years.

A major reason for the shortage is climate change. As recently as 2017, Britain saw its driest 10-month period in over 100 years. In 2018, below-average rainfall caused many reservoirs (水库) to run dangerously low. It’s predicted that, by 2040, over half of UK summers will be hotter than the summer of 2003, and water supply from rivers could fall by between 50-80 percent, according to CNN. In 2003, the UK experienced one of the most significant heat waves in recorded history.

Another major reason is that the British waste too much water in daily life. On average each person uses about 140 liters of water per day through a combination of showers, washing machines and garden hoses, according to the BBC. Bevan said people should try to save water and that they could cut their daily water use from 140 to 100 liters. “There re simple steps we can take... Get a low flush toilet, Take short showers...” he said during the conference.

While England may not be the only place facing a water shortage, some other areas have taken measures to avoid one. Israel, for example, recycles waste water, which makes up 40% of the country’s agricultural water.

Wherever you’re in the world, water is precious. Our world is 70% covered by water, but only 2.5% of it is fresh, and only 1% is easily accessible. So let’s try to save the water we’re lucky enough to have and not be wasteful.

【1】What can be the best main idea of the passage?

A. English people are wasting too much water.

B. England may run short of water in the near future.

C. Climate change causes water shortage in England.

D. English people should solve the problem with water shortage.

【2】What’s the purpose of writing the passage?

A. To call on people to save water together.

B. To educate people about the importance of water.

C. To inform people of the water problem in England.

D. To introduce ways to solve the water shortage problem.

【3】Where can you probably find the article?

A. In a textbook. B. In a research report.

C. In a travel journal. D. In a newspaper.

27、Nearly one in four Americans made money over the last 12 months by using their personal computers or other devices connected to the Internet. The Pew Research Center, an independent research group in Washington, found that people are using the Internet to find extra work. They go online to sell things such as used books and furniture or they offer to provide services such as babysitting, house cleaning or computer repairs.

Pew found that income earned on the Internet can come in many forms. Some said they had jobs that paid a few pennies each to take surveys. In these surveys, people are asked for their opinions of different products or well-known people. About two percent of Americans earned money from ride-sharing companies such as Uber and Lyft. When drivers are ready to pick up passengers, they use their ride-share company’s app. The computer program lets them know when passengers are ready to be picked up and how to reach them. Some people make their homes, apartments, or rooms inside their homes, available for money to people visiting their cities.

About 60 percent of people say the income they earn is important to them. But just one in five people who sell things online say the income is enough to be important to their lives. Only 16 percent believe doing online work will lead to a meaningful career. But 37 percent say the extra income earned from online jobs helps them make up for shortages in money.

The number one reason people gave for taking online jobs was that the work gave them something to do and was fun. What kind of people work online or use online devices to find work?The answer appears to be: mostly people who already have jobs.

29、   In some countries where racial prejudice is acute, violence has so come to be taken for granted as a means of solving differences that it is not even questioned. There are countries where the white man imposes his rule by brute force; there are countries where the black man protests by setting fire to cities and by looting and pillaging. Important people on both sides, who would in other respects appear to be reasonable men, get up and calmly argue in favor of violence --- as if it were a legitimate solution, like any other. What is really frightening, what really fills you with despair, is the realization that when it comes to the crunch（关键时刻）,we have made no actual progress at all. We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our instinct remain basically unchanged. The whole of the recorded history of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learned that violence never solves a problem but makes it more acute. The sheer horror, the bloodshed（流血）, the suffering mean nothing. No solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us.

The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing. They are despised mistrusted and even persuaded by their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law enforcement（执行）. If half the energy that goes into violent acts were put to good use, if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at improving living standards and providing education and employment for all, we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution. Our strength is sapped by having to mop to the mess that violence leaves in its wake. In a well-directed effort, it would not be impossible to fulfill the ideals of a stable social programme. The benefits that can be derived from constructive solutions are everywhere apparent in the world around us. Genuine and lasting solutions are always possible, providing we work within the framework of the law.

Before we can even begin to contemplate peaceful co-existence between the races, we must appreciate each other’s problems. And to do this, we must learn about them: it is a simple exercise in communication, in exchange information. “Talk, talk, talk” the advocates of violence say, “all you ever do is talk, and we are none the wiser.” It’s rather like the story of the famous barrister who painstakingly explained his case to the judge. After listening to a lengthy argument, the judge complained that after all this talk, he was none the wiser. “Possibly, my lord,” the barrister replied, “none the wiser, but surely far better informed.” Knowledge is the necessary prerequisite to wisdom: the knowledge that violence creates the evils it pretends to solve.

B.Violence Can Do Nothing to Diminish Race Prejudice

C.Violence as a Legitimate Solution

D.Violence: The Instinet of Human Race

【2】Recorded history has taught us_______.
