    London used to be “foggy” for the same reason that cities like Beijing or Chongqing are “foggy” today. The “fog” was in fact smog, a mixture of smoke and fog. In other words, it was made by air pollution. In London, some of this pollution came from factories, but much of it came from the coal (煤) that people burnt in their houses to keep warm during the winter. By the 1950s, London’s smog problem had become so bad that the government decided to do something to clean the air. A new law was made and nobody could burn coal in any British city. Within a few years, the air became much cleaner. There were no more “pea-soupers”.
    Many Chinese cities now face the same sort of problem with air pollution that London faced 40 or 50 years ago. However, this problem is more difficult for Chinese cities to solve. One reason is that more of the pollution comes from the factories, rather than from coal burnt in people’s houses. If these factories were closed, this would harm the economy and lots of people would lose their jobs. Another reason is that changing from coal to cleaner fuel (燃料), like gas, is quite expensive.
    However, the air in many Chinese cities is becoming cleaner and cleaner, as the government and people pay more and more attention to cutting down pollution. As a result, there are fewer “pea-soupers” in Beijing than there used to be.
    小题1:What was the main reason for air pollution in London?
    A．There was too much smoke in the sky.
    B．There were too many factories in the city.
    C．People burnt too much coal in the houses.
    D．The city was too big for the cleaners to clean.
    小题2:How did the air in London become much cleaner?
    A．There was not so much fog in the winter later.
    B．A law was made to keep people from burning coal in their houses.
    C．Many factories in the city were closed.
    D．People paid more attention to cleaning their city.
    小题3:What does the underlined word “pea-soupers” refer to?
    A．Smog.B．Smoke. C．Gas.D．Coal.
    小题4:The problem of air pollution is more difficult for Chinese cities to solve because of _____ reasons.
    A．oneB．twoC．threeD．four
    小题5:Which sentence is NOT true?
    A．Air pollution is serious in Beijing and Chongqing.
    B．Using coal is much more expensive than using gas.
    C．Factories made much more pollution in China.
    D．The reasons of air pollution in London and Beijing are different.

           Think of life in a desert: no food or water, only strong sun and heavy wind full of sand. You'd die of
    thirst while waiting for a passing plane that never comes.
            But don't dismiss the thought as a nightmare (噩梦). Your hometown could become a desert if nothing
    is done to prevent it.
            Deserts are eating land at high speed. In China, desertification (沙漠化) has affected 2,622,000 square
    kilometres, equal to 14 Guangdong Provinces, mostly in the North. Deserts are advancing at a pace of 2,460
    kilometres per year.
           According to the UN, one-third of the planet's land surface, with one billion people, has become desert.
    Africa, Asia and Latin America have the driest land in danger of desertification.
            Recognizing the threat (威胁) to human beings, the United Nations has named 2006 the International
    Year of Deserts and Desertification.
            It wants to increase public awareness (关注) of advancing deserts. Activities include a film festival in
    Rome with films on life in unproductive (贫瘠的) lands. Meetings will discuss international cooperation, such
    as planting trees and changing agricultural practices.
            Desertification takes place where rain is little and the climate hot. But human activities are the biggest
    cause. Land turns into desert when the soil is over-farmed and too many animals eat up plants. To make
    money, people also cut down trees that hold the soil. Desertification brings serious problems. From 1991 to
    2000, droughts (干旱) killed over 280,000 people worldwide. When land becomes useless, there's a big loss
    in food production.     
            Dust from deserts is blown into cities around the world. Each spring, Beijing is at risk of yellow dust
    from the Gobi Desert. Dust from Africa reaches cities in the US and Europe, leading to illnesses and
    worsening environments.
    1. Which of the following is Not mentioned in the passage?
    [     ]
    A. The bad influences of deserts.
    B. How serious desertification is.
    C. What makes land turn into desert.
    D. The ways to change deserts into farms.
    2. The purpose of writing the first paragraph is to _______.
    [     ]

    A. serve as a picture of a large desert
    B. show how important water is to humans
    C. draw your attention to the problem of desertification
    D. show how much is needed to be done to change deserts

    3. We can know from the passage that _______.
    [     ]
    A. deserts can be easily seen in both hot and dry places
    B. one third of the area in Africa has become desert
    C. the UN has made many films on desertification in 2006
    D. dealing with desertification needs world-wide cooperation

    Have you ever thrown away a bottle of water? Maybe a bottle of water does not seem like much to you, but it can save the day for people who live in drought-hit* areas in China.

    In the past few months, some places in southeast China has experienced a serious drought. In Yunnan, Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou and Chongqing, there has been very little rain since last autumn. Crops have died. The land has cracked* and wells and rivers have dried up. More than 20 million people are having difficulty finding safe drinking water.

    After learning about the drought, many people across the country have helped by giving water, money and other resources*.

    Last week, China asked every member of the Communist Youth League and Young Pioneers to give one bottle of water to the drought-hit areas. Students in primary schools and middle schools quickly joined in the activity. “A bottle of water isn’t much, but thousands of bottles will be of great use.” One student said. Some students offer their pocket money to the people there.  Other students also wrote their best wishes on the bottles.

    The serious drought has also made students realize that saving water is very important. Some students decided to take a shower twice a week instead of every day, so that they can save a little water. Some students said they would never forget to turn off the water taps after using. Some students even went on the street to tell people to take part in water-saving activities.

    Actually, learning how to save water is not difficult, and it can begin with teaching good habits to others around you. All you have to do is to think a little about how easy it is to waste water in everyday activities.

    (   )48.What does a bottle of water mean to the drought-hit areas?

           A. It can change the whole situation.

           B. Even one bottle is important for them.

           C. It won’t help the drinking problem at all.

           D. It means nothing because it is not enough.

    (   )49. There is a drought in those provinces because____________.

           A. the river has no water all the time.

           B. the sunshine is not strong enough there

           C. it has not rained for a long time

           D. people there don’t save water

    (   )50.People are doing the following to help the drought-hit areas EXCEPT___________.

           A. giving best wishes to the people there

           B. encouraging more people to save water

           C. visiting drought-hit areas by themselves

           D. raising money for the drought-hit areas

    (   )51.What have the students learned from the drought?

           A. The importance of water

           B. How to get on with others.

           C. Never waste food.

           D. How to find safe drinking water.
