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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. What will be discussed if the passage continues?
A. How to prevent from climate change.

Few people are aware that Waterloo Bridge, crossed by thousands of daily commuters (每天长途上下班的人) and celebrated as a London landmark, was mainly built by a female workforce.
There are no written or photographic records ofthe women who built the bridge since the construction company that built it closed in the 1980s and with it went all the records. What’s left is anecdotal evidence, kept alive by the tourist boat skippers who have called it theLadiesBridge.
During the Second World War, with the majority of the active male labor-force away at the front, women increasingly took on traditionally male roles. By 1944, 25,000 women were working in the construction industry, carrying out back-breaking tasks. These women were permitted to carry out this exhausting and dangerous work on the basis that it would only be temporary and that their pay would be lower than that of men. So the surge (激增) in women working in construction and engineering did not continue after the war.
September sees a series of events celebrating the unknown work of the large female workforce. Musician Claudia Molitor has created a 45-minute musical entitled “theSingingBridge”, which runs at Somerset House from Sept9th. to Sept25th. In late September, the “Light up the Ladies Bridge” event saw the National Theatre’s fly tower lit up by large scale photographic projections (投影片) of female construction workers working in construction during World War II.
Let’s all celebrate the women who have helped to build the cities in which we live.
8. Why do few people know about the builders ofWaterlooBridge?
A. The records of their work have been lost.
B. Female workers received little attention.
C. The construction took place long ago.
D. Few people know about the bridge.
9. What can we learn from the fourth paragraph?
A. There are less female workers inLondon.
B.WaterlooBridgeis popular among artists.
C. The story ofWaterlooBridgeis better known.
D. Many works of art were created during World War II.
10. Why didLondonwomen do the construction work?
A. It was a tradition inLondon.
B. They wanted to get a steady job.
C. Mostmen had gone to the battlefield.
D. The company offered them better pay.
11. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Female Workers on the Rise
B. A Hidden Treasure inLondon
C. ANew LondonLandmark
D. The Story behind theLadiesBridge
D

Li wants to share the quiet country life, so she makes her new home a homestay. In 2019, the homestay became an online hit after guests shared their experiences on social media. “The longer I stay here, the more I feel it was the right choice to come back, and this is more meaningful than making money,” Li says.

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项Rejection doesn’t have to be about the big stuff like not getting into your top college. Everyday situations can lead to feelings of rejection, too, like if your joke didn’t get a laugh, if no one remembered to save you a seat at the lunch table, or if the person you really like talks to everyone but you. Rejection hurts. But it’s impossible to avoid it altogether. The only thing we should do is to learn to handle it.___16___. So how can you build that ability?
Be Honest About Your Feelings
If you get rejected, admit how intense your feelings are. Don’t try to brush off the hurt or pretend it’s not painful. Then, move on to name what you’re feeling. For example: “I feel really disappointed that I didn’t get chosen for the school play. I wanted it so badly and I tried so hard. I feel left out because my friends made it and I didn’t.”___17___.
Examine Your Thought Soundtrack
When you are rejected, it’s natural to wonder, “Why did this happen?” When you give yourself an explanation, be careful to stick to the facts. Tell yourself: “I got turned down for prom because the person didn’t want to go with me.” Don't tell yourself: “I got turned down because I’m not attractive” or “I’m such a loser.”___18___. Next time, if put-down thoughts start creeping into your mind, shut them down.
___19___
A rejection is chance to consider if there are things we can work on. It’s OK to think about whether there’s room for improvement or if your goals were higher than your skills.___20___. But if you approach it right, it could help nudge you in a direction that turns out to be the perfect fit for your talents, personality, and all the really great things that make you who you are.
A. Acknowledging feelings helps you move beyond painful emotions.
B. This kind of thinking crowds out hope and a belief in ourselves.
C. Be Patient When Rejected.
D. Dwelling on the negative feelings can feel like living the experience over and over again.
E. Sometimes a rejection is a harsh reality check.
F. The better we get at dealing with rejection, the less it affects us.
G. Use Rejection to Your Advantage.
