Imagine one day, the water taps in your house stop running. You have to buy water from shops. And still there isn’t enough for everyone. Your mother has to save the family’s shower water to do other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?
Probably not. But that’s what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts said Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. According to a report, the capital, Sana, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.
Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply(供应). Hannan, an 18-year-old from Lahej, told Times: “In a good week we’ll have a water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two.”
Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water trucks. Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water—at very high prices. “A lot of people can’t afford it,” she said.
The average (平均) person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic(立方) meters of water per year. That is far below the international water poverty(贫困) line of 1,000 cubic meters.
The government is thinking of making use of seawater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.
50. _____________ is the name of the capital city of Yemen.

A．Sana

B．Lahei

C．Hannan

D．Times

51. A report shows that Sana will have ____________ as early as 2025.

A．enough drinking water to use

B．no drinking water to use

C．no private companies

D．more water pollution

52. What does the word “shortage” in the third paragraph mean in Chinese?

A．充足

B．短缺

C．干旱

D．需求

53. We can infer(推断) from the passage that _____________.

A．the poor don’t have to worry about the water supply

B．the 18-year-old boy is from a poor family

C．private companies make a lot of money

D．Lahej is a beautiful place

54. Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?

A．How to Save Water

B．How to Make Use of Seawater

C．How People Use Water Fully

D．Yemen is Facing Serious Water Shortage

“It hurts me more than you,” and “This is for your own good.” My mother used to say so years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.

That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy on us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy (不干预政策), We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them computers, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.

Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we've made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students-“so passive”- and wonders what happened. Nothing was demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children's passivity. “We're talking about a generation kids who've never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them. Instead of saying 'go look it up', you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say 'no' to a kid.”

Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It's time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It's time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it's for their own good. It's time to start telling them “no” again.

55. What can we infer from the first paragraph?

A．The writer's mother is strict with him	B．The writer developed himself naturally
C．The writer didn't have to stay home	D．The writer's mother used to let him learn Latin

56. What does the underlined word “permissive” mean in the passage?

A．allowing behaviour	B．providing help
C．accepting opinion	D．having discussion

57. What's the main idea of the passage?

A．It's time to be more strict with kids	B．Kids should have more activities at school
C．Parents should leave their children along	D．Kids should have a good example to learn from
