Part IV. 阅读理解

Directions: Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.

The world is not hungry，but it is thirsty．It seems strange that nearly 3／4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of（短缺）water．Why？Because about 97％ of water on the earth is sea water which we can't drink or use for watering plants directly（直接地）．Man can only drink and use the 3％ of the water that comes from rivers and lakes．And we can't even use all of that，because some of it has been polluted（污染）．

Now more water is needed．The problem is：Can we avoid（避免）a serious water shortage later on？Firstly，we should all learn how to save water．Secondly，we should find out the ways to reuse it．Scientists have always been making study in this field．Today，in most large cities, water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers．But it can be used again．Even if（即使）every large city reused its water，still there would not be enough．What could people turn to next？

The sea seems to have the best answer．There is a lot of water in the sea．All that needs to be done is to get the salt（盐）out of the sea water．This is expensive，but it's already in use in many parts of the world．Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way to do it．So you see，if we can find a way out，we'll be in no danger of drying up． 根据短文内容判断正（T）误（F）。

T 1．The world is thirsty because about 97％ of water on the earth can't be drunk or used for watering plants directly．

F 2．97％ of the earth is covered with water．

F 3．Man can only drink and use about 25％ of water on the earth．

T 4．To avoid the serious water shortage，it's the most important to try to find a cheaper way to get the salt out of the sea water．

F 5．The name of the passage should be“How to Save Water”．

Part III. 完形填空

Directions: Choose the best word to complete the following passage. Each word in the box can be used only once.

A. other B. sight C. older D. way E. account

It seems quite clearly unjust to pay two people different amounts of money for doing the same work. But it is not as easy as it appeals at first __1_ sight _ to introduce equal pay for equal work. Two people may be working side by side in a factory and doing the same work, but one may be doing it twice as fast as the _2_ other _; or one may be making no mistakes, while the other is making a lot. In some kinds of work, one can solve the problem of speed if one pays by the amount of work to be done and not by the hour: work paid for in this __3_ way _ is called piece-work. But it is not always possible to do this, so it is sometimes useful to pay workers at different rates, which take differences in skill into __4_ account _. This usually means that the younger and therefore less experienced worker gets less than the __5_ older _ and more experienced one, which seems reasonable enough.

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world. Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she’d said again, “it’s for Elizabeth. ”

I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in
