A
In December 2021, people in Shenzhen found that water ran more slowly from their taps. The government (政府) said the city was facing its most serious water shortage (短缺) ever. Compared with northern areas, southern areas have more rain and are close to more rivers and lakes. So why are they still “thirsty”?
In big cities like Shenzhen, populations (人口) are growing fast. As a result, people and factories need more and more water. Each person in Shenzhen has less than 200 cubic meters of water each year. It’s 1/12 of the country’s average.
Climate change is making the water problem worse. For example, most cities in Guangdong depend on (依赖于) the
Dongjiang River as their main source (来源) of water. In 2021, the river was reported to be drying up. Because of climate change, there’s also less snow in the mountains of Tibet. The snow has long been the source of water for many areas in China. Those mountains might provide less water in the future.
There are other reasons for water shortages. For example, water pollution makes it harder to get clean drinking water. Factories and farms don’t use water efficiently (有效地). Some cities have enough rainfall, but don’t have big lakes or reservoirs to store water. The water just goes into the sea.
51．Why does the writer use the word “thirsty” to describe southern areas like Shenzhen?
A．Because they use more water than other cities.
B．Because they have wasted too much water.
C．Because they are short on water.
D．Because they have few lakes and rivers.
52．Why is there less water in China’s rivers according to Paragraph 3?
A．Mountains in Tibet have less snow.
B．People are using up the water in these rivers.
C．The rivers flow through many areas with less rain.
D．Most water goes to the sea before people can get it.
53．Which of the following is NOT a reason for the water shortage mentioned in the last paragraph?
A．Water pollution.B．Wasting water.C．Lack of storing place.D．Lack of rainfall.
54．Which of the following can show the structure of the passage?
A．B．C．D．
①In recent times, the COVID-19 pandemic (新冠肺炎疫情) has destroyed the age-old habit of shaking hands. It is most widely used as a greeting, but when did shaking hands become the standard greeting?
②The handshake dates all the way back to the 9th century BC．King Shalmanesar III ruled over Assyria, an empire (帝国) of the ancient Middle East. Archaeologists (考古学家) found a throne base (王座底座) from that time. It shows two people holding hands. In the 5th century BC, in Greece, this was a symbol of peace, showing that neither person carried a weapon. The handshake also makes an appearance in Homer’s ancient poem, the Iliad (荷马史诗). In it, two characters “shook each other’s hands”.
③However, these handshakes were not used as greetings. The earliest reference to a handshake greeting is in 16th century novels by French writer Francois Rabelais, says Dutch sociologist Herman Roodenburg.
④Even so, the most widely-accepted theory about the handshake’s origin is that it survived through a group called the Quakers, who worked to equality and peace. As the movement spread, so did the handshake, eventually becoming standard among the working class in the mid-1700s.
⑤However, this was not the case everywhere, according to Roodenburg. Some French people described it as a vulgar (平民) English greeting, so many kept “la bise”, the traditional peck (轻吻) on two cheeks, which was widely used until the COVID-19 outbreak. In many countries, people have started touching elbows or ankles (脚踝) to greet each other instead of shaking hands, as this is believed to be safer.
55．In the 9th century BC, what happened?
A．Greek people thought the handshake was a symbol of peace.
B．The handshake was first considered as a way to greet each other.
C．A throne base found by archaeologists shows two persons holding hands.
D．The handshake became standard among the working class.
56．In many countries, what do people think of the handshakes when the COVID-19 appeared?
A．Closer.B．Unsafer.C．More convenient.D．Easier.
57．What’s the passage talking about?
A．The history of handshakes.B．The COVID-19 pandemic.
C．How to shake hands.D．The ways of greeting.
58．The structure of the passage may be ________.
( ①=Para.1②=Para.2③=Para.3④=Para.4⑤=Para.5 )
A．①②; ③④; ⑤B．①; ②③; ④⑤C．①; ②③④; ⑤D．①②; ③; ④⑤
