六、任务型阅读。

（20分）
A
Have you ever been to a foreign country? If not,I ‘d like to tell you a story.I am Sally from America, and I travelled to France last summer vacation. While travelling on a bus in Paris, I became very sick. An old French woman on the bus helped me a lot.
She first asked the driver to stop the bus and helped me get off the bus. Then she helped me to find the nearest hospital. After that she helped me get the medicine and took me to a hotel. After a few hours, I felt much better. I could only speak a little French, so I couldn’t talk with her much.
However, we could understand each other. I used body language to show my thankfulness(感激). And she also used it to show her care for my health. From this experience(经历), I know that people could communicate with each other without many words.
根据短文回答问题。

（最多不超过6个字）
24. Where did the story happen? 25. What was the matter with Sally?
26. How did Sally show her thankfulness to the old woman?
27. What does the underlined word’understand’mean in Chinese?
28. What did Sally learn from the experience?
B
Hard as it may be to believe, more than 6000 dead pigs were found in the Huangpu River in Shanghai. Isn’t that a serious problem?
As we know, during the past 30 years, China, a country in the east of the world, is developing(发展) fast. Several problems appear at the same time, such as the pollution of the environment, large differences between the poor and the rich, the lack of love and pity among the people and so on.
But there is a most important thing that no one can overlook(忽视). It is the problem of the safety of the food. In China, there is an old saying that ‘Food is god for the people’. It’s certain that food is the most important thing in people’s daily life. But these years, the problem of the safety of the food has become a big one in the society. The melamine(三聚氰胺) found in the Sanlu milk powder, and the use of gutter oil(地沟油) in the food, are only a few of the safety problems of food.
The reports of these cases have caught all the Chinese people’s attention, and of course, the worry and anger. Worrying about that, I hope that things can be better in the near future.
Luckily, the government has realized that and ‘Food Safety Law’has been made to solve these safety problems of food.
根据短文内容填空，每空一词。

29 . _______ 6000 dead pigs were found in the Huangpu River and it’s a __________ problem.
30. ___________ the past 30 years, China , a country in the ___________ part of the world is developing fast.
31. ___________ is the most important thing in ___________ daily life..
