In Yemen, you always see one type of vehicle on the road: the water truck.They travel mountain roads and cross deserts to bring Yemenis the goods more valuable than oil.It is one that only the rich can afford, with the supply regularly being cut off.Others must rely on scarce rain or charity to  fight thirst.
Experts say Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water.The capital, Sanaa, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025,says a report by the World Bank.
Hannan, an 18­year­old from Lahej, said that only the rich could prepare for cuts in supply.“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, ” she said.
She and her husband, a factory worker, pay 3,000 riyals (99 yuan) for a week’s supply of water from a touring water truck when the taps run dry.With an income of only 20,000 riyals (660 yuan) a month,this means the family often spend half their money on water.
“There are a lot of people who can’t afford it and they have to rely on their neighbors to help,” she said.
The average person in Yemen survives on one­fifth of what the World Health Organization considers to be enough water.
In Taiz, in the south,tap water is available only once every 45 days.In the mountainous Malhan district in the north,women and children climb a 1,500­m mountain to collect water from a spring, often in the small hours to avoid long queues.
Yemen is located in Southwest Asia,bordering the Arabian and Red Sea.Yemeni people have lived on scarce water supplies for thousands of years but that problem has been made serious by conflict in the area,the fast­growing population and the use of water to grow a drug called qat.With one of the world’s highest rates of population growth—3.46 percent, Yemen is the poorest Arab country.
The government is considering desalinating (淡化) seawater,but this would be expensive and it may now be too late.The only other solution is to cut down on farming, but that means importing even more food.
小題1:The passage aims to________.
A.a(chǎn)nalyze the reasons why Yemen lacks water
B.suggest some solutions to the water issue in Yemen
C.present how serious the water problem is in Yemen
D.encourage the world to help Yemenis who are suffering from water shortages
小題2:When Hannan said that only the rich could prepare for cuts in supply,she meant that________.
A.rich people drank more water than the poor
B.rich people could buy water from the water trucks if there was a water supply cut
C.she had a rich neighbor who often helped her during water supply cuts
D.the rich were not affected by water supply cuts
小題3:Which of the following may be a reason why Yemen is short of water?
A.The country has had no rain for a long time.
B.The population of Yemen is growing fast.
C.The government has failed to reduce farming.
D.People can’t afford the water from government water trucks.
小題4:The best title for the passage is “________”.
A.Never take water for granted
B.The water truck—the commonest sight in Yemen
C.The first country to run out of water in the world
D.No water for Yemen

Recently, a new name has been added to that list----“Brother Banner(橫幅)”. What did he do to get the name?
“Brother Banner” is Chen Yihua, a Senior 1 student at Guangzhou No.16 High School. On the afternoon of May 4, he made a banner, dressed in school uniform, and stood outside a Line 1 subway station in Guangzhou.
Chen was protesting(抗議)Guangzhou Metro(地鐵) Company’s renovation(整修) project for the line.

The company made a 180-degree turn in its third response to Chen’s protest on May 10.
Zhong Xuejun, spokesman for the company, said the renovation would be based on the principle of saving energy and being economical. It would focus on the old equipment and the look of the stations wouldn’t be changed much.

TOKYO, Japan (AP) – Japan is very serious about robotics (機器人技術(shù)). If the droids are going to fit in, they probably need to learn the Japanese custom of serving tea. Fortunately, researchers at the University of Tokyo are exploring just that. In a show this week, a humanoid(有人特點的)with camera eyes made by Kawada Industries Inc. poured tea from a bottle into a cup. Then another robot on wheels delivered the cup of tea in an experimental room that has sensors embedded in the floor and sofa as well as cameras on the ceiling, to simulate(模仿)life with robot technology.
“A human being may be faster, but you’d have to say ‘Thank you,’” said University of Tokyo professor Tomomasa Sato. “That’s the best part about a robot. You don’t have to feel bad about asking it to do things.”
Sato believes Japan, a rapidly aging society where more than a fifth of the population is 65 or older, will lead the world in designing robots to care for the elderly, sick and bedridden(臥床不起的).
Already, monitoring technologies, such as sensors that automatically turn on lights when people enter a room, are becoming widespread in Japan.
The walking, child–size Asimo from Honda Motor Co. greets people at showrooms. NEC Corp. has developed a smaller companion robot–on –wheels called Papero. A seal robot available since 2004 can entertain the elderly and others in need of fuzzy companionship.
Sato says his experimental room is raising awareness about privacy questions that may arise when electronic devices(設(shè)備)monitor a person’s movements down to the smallest detail.
On the bright side, the tea – pouring humanoid has been programmed to do the dishes.
小題1:What is the best title of this passage?
A.“Thank You” Will Never Be Needed in Japan
B.Monitoring Technologies Are Widespread in Japan
C.Robot Is Designed to Care for the Elderly.
D.Robot technologies are widespread in Japanese daily life.
小題2:The underlined word “embedded” in the first paragraph probably means       .
A.fixedB.establishedC.settledD.rooted
小題3:According to Professor Sato,       .
A.the robot serves tea much faster than a human being
B.the robot does anything like human beings
C.tea – serving robot helps to form laziness of the aging society
D.tea – serving robot doesn’t need any reward for the service
小題4:Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A.A robot can imitate people to complete complicated tasks.
B.A robot has been programmed to clean the dishes.
C.All the problems in the aging society can be solved by robots.
D.The number of aging people is increasing rapidly in Japan.
小題5:We can infer from the passage that        .
A.people are afraid of being monitored by robots.
B.the technology of robots has been highlighted in Japan.
C.robots can completely take the place of human beings.
D.people’s privacy should be strictly protected
