Miremba was getting up when she heard her mother call. “Miremba, you must go to the river today. We need water for cooling and washing.” “OK, Mum,” sighed Miremba. She wanted to go to school. She didn’t want to fetch water. But her mother had no time to do that. She had to look after the younger children. “I wish we had a water well in the village,” Miremba said as she left her house. On the way to the river, there were animals like tigers and bears. So Miremba usually walked to the river with her friend Akiki. That day while they were walking to the river, they met a snake. Their hearts beat like drums. Luckily, the snake didn’t hurt them and went away. On their way home, Miremba asked, “Do you remember Miss Miller from England? She visited us last year.” “Yes. She was very helpful and said she would try to get us a well,” answered Akiki. “Do you think she’s forgotten us?” “Maybe,” sighed Miremba. However, when Miremba and Akiki got home, they got a big surprise. There were some visitors in the village. Miss Miller had raised enough money and came to help them build a well here. “Miss Miller does remember us!” said Miremba happily. “We’re going to have a well! We’ll be able to go to school every day!” shouted Akiki. “Yes. We can learn to read and write!” said Miremba. 1．What does the underlined word“that” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．Fetching water. B．Going to school. C．Building a water well. D．Looking after the younger children. 2．Miremba usually went to the river with her friend because________.

D．Don’t believe in others easily. 【答案】1．A 2．D 3．D 4．A 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲了Miremba原本因需要去危险的河边打水而无法上学感到难过，途中遇蛇受惊，回家后惊喜发现去年来访的英国女士米勒小姐筹钱来帮村里打井，最终得以开心地期待每天上学。 1．词句猜测题。根据“She didn’t want to fetch water. But her mother had no time to do that.”可知，她不想去打水，因此“that”指代前文“fetch water”。故选A。 2．细节理解题。根据“On the way to the river, there were animals like tigers and bears. So Miremba usually walked to the river with her friend Akiki.”可知，因为路上有老虎、熊等危险动物，所以她通常和朋友一起去。故选D。 3．细节理解题。根据“Do you remember Miss Miller from England? She visited us last year.”可知，米勒小姐去年来过村子。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据“She wanted to go to school. She didn’t want to fetch water.”和“That day while they were walking to the river, they met a snake.”和“when Miremba and Akiki got home, they got a big surprise.”以及“We’ ll be able to go to school every day”可知，Miremba一开始因不能上学而伤心，途中遇到蛇时害怕，回家看到米勒小姐时感到惊喜，最后开心地说能上学。所以情绪变化为：悲伤→害怕→惊喜→快乐。故选A。 5．推理判断题。根据最后一段“We’re going to have a well! We’ll be able to go to school every day!”可知，Miremba因能上学而兴奋，可能会呼吁读者珍惜上学时光。故选B。 B Welcome to Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt!

On 22 March, World Water Day draws attention to the importance of water in our lives, the difficulties many people have getting clean water, and solutions to these problems. Why do we need water? The human body is around 60% water, and we need to drink lots of water to be healthy. As well as needing clean water to drink, we need it for cooking, washing and brushing our teeth. Cleaning toilets also needs a lot of water. Farmers use water to make the plants grow. A lot of water is used to produce the clothes we wear. Do you know that it takes about 2,700 liters of water to make one T-shirt? Does everyone have enough water? We all need water to stay alive, but more than two billion people around the world live without safe water in their homes. Many of them live in countryside or in places where there is a war. Some people live in desert and it is very hot, so it is very difficult for them to get water. What are the consequences (后果)? If we drink dirty water, we will become ill. In some countries, women and children walk many kilometers every day to get water, and sometimes the water isn’t even clean! If children spend most of their day walking to get water, they can’t go to school, so they don’t learn how to read or write and don’t get an education. What happens on World Water Day? In 1992, the United Nations decided to make a special day for water, and World Water Day has been celebrated on 22 March every year since 1993. On this day, many countries hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water and to try to find solutions to provide everyone around the world with clean water. A lot of charities (慈善机构) hold activities for World Water Day. People make posters to tell the importance of saving water. They also sell their old books to raise money. All the money helps buy taps and toilets and provide clean water to as many people as possible around the world. So, this World Water Day, what will you do? 1．When is World Water Day? ____________________________________________________________________________________________2．How much water does it take to make a T-shirt? ____________________________________________________________________________________________3．What will happen if you drink dirty water? ____________________________________________________________________________________________4．Would you like to take part in World Water Day activity?

(Please give two reasons.) ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】 1．World Water Day is on 22 March. 2．It takes about 2,700 liters of water to make one T-shirt. 3．If you drink dirty water, you will become ill. 4．放性试题，言之有理即可。参考答案为：Yes, I want to join World Water Day activities. First, I think it’s crucial to let people know about the world’s water problem and how much we need clean water. By taking part, I can help spread this important message and motivate others to do something. Second, I like being part of events that bring our community together to make the world a better place.

Miremba was getting up when she heard her mother call. “Miremba, you must go to the river today. We need water for cooling and washing.” “OK, Mum,” sighed Miremba. She wanted to go to school. She didn’t want to fetch water. But her mother had no time to do that. She had to look after the younger children. “I wish we had a water well in the village,” Miremba said as she left her house. On the way to the river, there were animals like tigers and bears. So Miremba usually walked to the river with her friend Akiki. That day while they were walking to the river, they met a snake. Their hearts beat like drums. Luckily, the snake didn’t hurt them and went away. On their way home, Miremba asked, “Do you remember Miss Miller from England? She visited us last year.” “Yes.
