    It was a quiet village in which there was a military camp. It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around. Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young men to go outside. Mr. White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.

    　　Once Mr. White was ill in bed. He couldn't work and a young officer, Mr. Hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr. Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening with the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they were all drunk. Of course they found the officer was angry.

    　　"I'm sorry, sir," said the first soldier. "I left the town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back."

    　　And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldier's turn. He said, "I'm sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but…"

    　　Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once. He called out, "If you say something was wrong with your bus, I'll punish you at once!"

    　　"No, no, sir," said the young man. "My bus was all right, but the dead horses were in its way!"

    For the people living in the Nile Basin，the river is their life. This 6,825 km waterway，whose watershed (流域) covers three million square kilometers，flows through mountains，woodlands，lakes and deserts. Its potential for fishing，tourism and shipping is great－but so are its challenges.

    Water shortage，already serious in Egypt and Sudan，will soon influence several other countries in the watershed as well. Today，about 160 million people depend on the Nile River for their living. Within the next 25 years，the district’s population is expected to double，adding to the demand brought about by growth in industry and agriculture. The frequent drought adds to the urgency.

    Water quality is also a problem. Precious soil is washed out to sea. Wastes from industry and agriculture create pollution. Higher concentrations of salt influence irrigated soils. Water-borne diseases remain unchecked. In areas where it’s hot and damp，hyacinths grow so fast that they choke off lakes，dams and other sections of the river，making it difficult for fishing and other businesses to move forward.

    Native people along the narrow area of farmland have watched the sand move closer day by day. They’ve seen the river change course，and their only source of water thickened with mud. They’re very poor and have few choices.

    But a new program，the Nile Basin Initiative(NBI)，is offering very practical assistance. The program is more than just a water-management project. It’s a plan for the social and economic development of a vast district: it concentrates on the needs of the poorest of the poor and the environment that supports them.

    These are whole ecosystem problems，calling for united solutions (解决办法)．Half the Nile Basin’s countries are among the world’s poorest nations; yet，somehow，they must find the resources，skills and political will to overcome these challenges.

    1.What are the great challenges the Nile Basin faces?

    A．The development of shipping industry and over-fishing of native people.

    B．Overfishing of native people and increasing population.

    C．Water shortage and water quality.

    D．Increasing population and tourism.

    2.The underlined word “hyacinths” in Paragraph 3 most probably refers to ________.

    A．plants

    B．fish

    C．rocks

    D．salts

    3.The program NBI is mainly aimed at ________.

    A．preventing water pollution

    B．changing the river course

    C．improving living conditions of the poor

    D．preventing land from becoming desert

    4.What would be the best title of this passage?

    A．People’s life in Egypt and Sudan

    B．Frequent drought in Egypt and Sudan

    C．The poorest countries in the Nile Basin

    D．The ecosystem problems in the Nile Basin

    Studying volcanoes is a demanding profession. Hazel Rymer frequently has to struggle through rainforests, climb to the top of mountains, then climb 200 metres into the crater of active volcanoes. But the 38-year-old volcanologist does her best to make it sound less alarming than it is. “Driving to work is more risky,” she insists. “And the deepest I go into the crater of a volcano is about 300 metres,” she adds, trying to make it all sound as ordinary as taking the dog for a walk.

    Hazel has been studying volcanoes for a long time, so it’s not surprising she is used to the danger. Her interest in volcanoes began at school. A teacher gave her a book about Pompeii. “I remember reading about the eruption of Vesuvius and the destruction of the city,” she explains. “The thought of all those people just frozen in time had quite an effect on me and I am still excited by their dangerous beauty today.”

    Nowadays, volcanoes are getting more and more unpredictable. There have been many changes in sea level caused by global warming and melting ice caps. These have resulted in some dormant volcanoes erupting, so studying them is more dangerous than ever before. Hazel says that although she doesn’t take any unnecessary risk she has had some frightening moments. Her worst experience was on the slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily, when she was slowly surrounded by lava. “I had a choice of walking ten hours to get around the lava flow or just walking across it,” she explains. She chose to pick a path across the cooler rocks in the lava stream. “I guess it was five metres. The flow was 1,000°C, so if you hesitated your boots would begin to melt. It was scary, but it really was a practical decision --- there wasn't time to do anything else.”

    And what about the future? “I haven’t been to the volcanoes in Indonesia yet. And I would love to spend some time working in the Antarctic,” she says. “I would also like to know why quiet lava flows erupt from some volcanoes and why other volcanoes go bang.” In other words, Hazel Rymer won’t be exchanging her volcanoes for the relative safety of driving to work just yet.

    1.Hazel’s claim that “driving to work is more risky” than exploring volcanoes shows that ______.

    A. people have exaggerated the dangers of volcanoes in the past

    B. Hazel does not really understand the dangerous situations she puts herself in.

    C. there are many bad drivers in the place where Hazel lives

    D. Hazel is being modest and understating the dangers she faces

    2.When did Hazel first become interested in volcanoes?

    A. When she was visiting Italy.

    B. When she was at school.

    C. When she was twenty.

    D. When she saw Vesuvius.

    3.The underlined word “these” (in paragraph 3) refers to __________.

    A. melting ice-caps         B. volcanic eruptions

    C. changes in sea level         D. higher temperatures

    4.When Hazel was on Mount Etna she had to ________.

    A. take a dangerous route

    B. take an unnecessary risk

    C. leave her boots behind

    D. walk for ten hours around the mountain

    5.In the future, Hazel wants to ________.

    A. revisit volcanoes she knows

    B. go on holiday to the Antarctic

    C. find a less dangerous job

    D. discover new things about volcanoes
