                             (一) (2015 .襄陽(yáng)) 

        Imagine one day,the water taps (水龍頭) 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 say 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（供應(yīng)）. Hannan,an 18-year-old boy from Lahej,told Times ：“In a good week we9ll 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 had 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,”he 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 (貧困) 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.

                           (六) (2015 •孝感) 

      On May 23 ,Shenzhen introduced tough new rules in order to discourage the Chinese style of crossing the road .“ Chinese people cross roads without thinking about traffic lights,so long as they are part of a crowd,”said a post on Sina Weibo.

        A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour,more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road in Shijiazhuang,Hebei.

        Many people say that they jaywalk (亂穿馬路) because the red light lasts too long. Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University. The team did research on people's waiting time at different road crossings for three years. They found that Chinese people would wait for 70 to 90 seconds (秒) before they lost their patience. “People are likely to ignore (忽視) the light when the waiting time is longer than they can bear ,” said Ni Ying,a member of the research team.

        However,a survey on Sina Weibo suggests that people jaywalk mainly because they ignore rules. “I always obey traffic rules. Time is important but safety should come first ,” someone wrote on his Weibo.

        Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers. In Singapore, the maximum can be three months in prison. Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions,too. For example,the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50 yuan in Shijiazhuang.

        But calling on people to respect rules is more important. To completely solve the problem,everyone should realize the importance of obeying the traffic rules.

   B. A research group at Tongji University.

   C. A post on Sina Weibo.

   D. A daily newspaper.

() 3. How long will Chinese people wait to cross the road before they lose patience?

   A. About five minutes.

   B. Less than one minute.

   C. Less than one and a half minutes.

   D. More than ten minutes.

() 4. Why do people jaywalk according to the survey on Sina Weibo?

   A. Because people don't pay much attention to rules.

   B. Because there are too many people on the road.

   C. Because the red light lasts too long.

   D. Because people have less patience.
