In Yemen，you always see one type of vehicle on the road：the water truck.They travel mountain roads and cross deserts to bring Yemenis the goods more valuable than oil.It is one that only the rich can afford，with the supply regularly being cut off.Others must rely on scarce rain or charity to fight thirst.
B．might not D．shouldn’t
Experts say Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water.The capital，Sanaa，will run out of drinking water as early as 2025，says a report by the World Bank.
Hannan，an 18yearold from Lahej，said that only the rich could prepare for cuts in supply.“In a good week we’ll have a water supply all week but then the following week there will be water only for a day or two，” she said.
She and her husband，a factory worker，pay 3,000 riyals (99 yuan) for a week’s supply of water from a touring water truck when the taps run dry.With an income of only 20,000 riyals (660
yuan) a month，this means the family often spend half their money on water.
“There are a lot of people who can’t afford it and they have to rely on their neighbors to help，” she said.
The average person in Yemen survives on onefifth of what the World Health Organization considers to be enough water.
In Taiz，in the south，tap water is available only once every 45 days.In the mountainous Malhan district in the north，women and children climb a 1,500m mountain to collect water from a spring，often in the small hours to avoid long queues.
Yemen is located in Southwest Asia，bordering the Arabian and Red Sea.Yemeni people have lived on scarce water supplies for thousands of years but that problem has been made serious by conflict in the area，the fastgrowing population and the use of water to grow a drug called qat.With one of the world’s highest rates of population growth—3.46 percent，Yemen is the poorest Arab country.
The government is considering desalinating (淡化) seawater，but this would be expensive and it may now be too late.The only other solution is to cut down on farming，but that means importing even more food.
1．The passage aims to________.
A．analyze the reasons why Yemen lacks water B．suggest some solutions to the water issue in Yemen C．present how serious the water problem is in Yemen
D．encourage the world to help Yemenis who are suffering from water shortages
2．When Hannan said that only the rich could prepare for cuts in supply，she meant that________. A．rich people drank more water than the poor
B．rich people could buy water from the water trucks if there was a water supply cut C．she had a rich neighbor who often helped her during water supply cuts D．the rich were not affected by water supply cuts
3．Which of the following may be a reason why Yemen is short of water? A．The country has had no rain for a long time. B．The population of Yemen is growing fast. C．The government has failed to reduce farming.
D．People can’t afford the water from government water trucks. 4．The best title for the passage is “________”． A．Never take water for granted
B．The water truck—the commonest sight in Yemen C．The first country to run out of water in the world D．No water for Yemen
(诊断二，A)
It happened to me recently that I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams from My Father and how it had changed my views of the current US president.The person I was talking to agreed with me that it was，in his words，“a wonderfully written book”．However，he then proceeded to talk about Mr Obama in a way that suggested he had no idea of his background at all.I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.
And it seems that he is not the only one.Clearly two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t.In the World Book Day survey，Dreams from My Father is at number 9.The survey lists top ten books，and various authors，which people have lied about reading.As I’m not one to lie too often，I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire ten books.But I am pleased to say that I have read the book at number one，George Orwell’s 1984.I think it’s absolutely outstanding.
Asked why they lied，the most common reason was to impress someone they were speaking to.This could be difficult if the conversation became more indepth!
The World Book Day survey also has some other interesting information in it.It shows that many people lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen，the Bronte sisters，Charles Dickens and so on.But when asked which authors they actually enjoy，they named J．K.Rowling，
Jilly Cooper，and Stephen King (ah，the big sellers，in other words)．Fortyone percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story.
So which books have you lied about reading—if any—and which is your favourite? 5．The main reason why people lie about reading is to________. A．make fun of the listener B．impress the listener C．please the listener D．interest the listener
6．The underlined word“proceeded” in the passage probably means “________”． A．wanted C．continued
B．happened D．stopped
7．What does the World Book Day survey show?
A．Nearly half of the people surveyed didn’t read through a whole classical book. B．People don’t like Dreams from My Father and George Orwell ’s 1984. C．Few people lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen. D．People usually enjoy reading books by Charles Dickens. 8．What is the best title for the passage? A．Are You a Book Liar? B．Readers Are All Liars C．World Book Day 课时作业(十二) Ⅰ.语音知识

2．C 考查比较级。nothing can be better再也没有比这更好的了。否词与比较级连用时，表示最含义。

【语篇解读】 位于亚的也门是一个水资源特别匮乏的国家，在这里，水资源的匮乏已经延续了几千年，而冲突、人口的快速增长因素使这个的饮水问题特别突出。也门也是最贫穷的阿拉伯国家。
1．C 考查推理判断。从全文内容可知，本文的中心话题是介绍也门这个国家的饮水困难。 2．B 考查细节理解。第一段说只有富人才能买得起水，第三段Hannan说，只有富人能为水供减少做好准备，由此判断B项是她要表达的意思：假如减少了饮用水的供，富人能花钱买水用，而穷人则只能依靠降雨或慈善机构的施舍。
3．B 考查细节理解。从倒数第二段可知，也门的饮用水短缺是长期存在的问题，而这个国家人口的快速增长使这个问题更突出。
4．D 考查主旨大意。从所给四个选项看，A项“不要以为水是理所当然的”与本文的核心话题无关，
B.“水车，也门街头最常见的风景”只是也门缺水的结果，只是文章内容的一分，C.“上第一个用完水的国家”不全面，而D项“也门没有水”最能形象地表达全文的内容。
5．B 细节理解题。根据第三段的第一句“Asked why they lied，the most common reason was to impress someone they were speaking to”可知，人们撒谎说读过某一本书是为了给对方留下深刻的印象。
6．C 词义猜测题。根据第一段的内容可知，我跟别人谈起现任总统巴拉克·奥巴马的Dreams from My
Father一书时，对方完全同意我的意见。当他继续谈下去的时候，我发现他根本没有读过这本书。第一段
第三的proceeded一词表示“继续下去”，与continued同义。
7．A 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“Fortyone percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story.”可知，41%的人承认他们没有读完一本书的内容就翻到后面读故事的结局。这与A项的陈述基本一致。故选A。其他三项均与文中有关陈述不符合。
8．A 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了the World Book Day survey的内容，同时问读者是否就某书撒过谎，结合全文的内容，尤其是第一段和最后一段可判断最佳标题是A。
