Yu Chenrui, 29, is a maker of automata (机关人偶) in Chengdu, Sichuan province. Automata are built to look like humans or animals and give the illusion (错觉) of being able to move on their own, “The art form amazes me, becauseit combines various skills, from storytelling to mechanics, and the pieces are built with a sense of humor,” Yu says. His creations have caught the attention of well-known artists and his fancy pieces of art have attracted collectors worldwide.

Over time, Yu’s reputation grew and his business flourished (兴旺). Many of Yu’s creations are built with a dash of wisdom, a sprinkle of humor and are inspired by observations of real life. Yu knows that there are many more creative ideas waiting to be expressed. “It feels quite good to be fully devoted to automata creation and I am still searching for myself.”

Water keeps us alive. When it runs out, we have a problem.

About one out of four people on the planet are facing a shortage of water. Seventeen countries around the world are dealing with high-water stress. This means they are using almost all the water they have access to. Many are dry countries. Some waste much of their water. Some may currently use too much of their groundwater that they should be saving. Several big cities face acute shortages. These include Sao Paulo, Brazil; Chennai, India; and Cape Town, South Africa. A year ago, Cape Town faced nay Zero-the day when all its dams would he dry.

Climate change adds to the risk of water shortages. Rainfall is less steady. The water supply becomes less reliable. The days grow hotter. More water evaporates(蒸发)from lakes and rivers even as demand for water increases. By 2030, the number of cities in the high-stress category may have risen to 45 and include almost 470 million people.

All over the world, farmers compete with city residents for water. Rich urban places, such as Los Angeles, use too much water for pools and golf courses. But the worst problem is the growth of cities. Bangalore, India, for example, had a few years with little rain. It built over its many lakes or filled them with city waste. The lakes are no longer the rain water storage tanks they once were. Bangalore now imports water. A lot of the imported water, however, gets lost on the way to Bangalore.

To address this issue, what can be done? First, cities can plug leaks in their water distribution system. Wastewater can be recycled. Rain can be harvested and saved for hard times. Lakes and wetlands can be cleaned up and old wells can be restored. And farmers can switch from water-intensive crops like rice to less-thirsty crops like millet(小米).

Experts are looking at ways to reduce the number of people on the planet. They are looking at ways to reduce the size of cities. They are looking for ways to encourage people, factories and farmers to use less water. 12. What can we know from Paragraph 2?

A. A quarter of the world's population is living with water shortages. B. Nearly all countries are facing acute water shortages now. C. Underground water should he used to meet the water demand. D. Measures have been taken to deal with the water shortage in India. 13. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?

A. Rainfall is not as steady as before. B. Climate change may lead to water shortages. C. The water supply relies more on rainfall. D. Hotter weather changes the water demand. 14. What can farmers do to deal with water shortage?

A. Plug leaks in the water distribution system. B. Clean up lakes and wetlands and restore wells. C. Reduce the number of people in the cities. D. Grow less-water consumption crops instead. 15. What will be discussed if the passage continues?

A. How to prevent from climate change. B. How to inspire people to save water. C. How to recycle wastewater in cities D. How to make people get access to clean water. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)

I am a high school student who have just entered the Senior Two.

Recently, I have found that some of the students in our classes study harder than before. They study lately

into night, eating snacks and drink Coca-Cola, which is bad for their health. In the morning, due to staying late, some students have to go to school hurriedly without breakfast, that surely does harm to their health.
