It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of (短缺) water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can’t drink or use for watering plants directly. Man can only drink and use the 3%—the water that comes from rivers and lakes. And we can’t even use all of that, because some of it has been polluted. Now more water is needed. The problem is: Can we avoid (避免) a serious water shortage(短缺) later on? First, we should all learn how to save water. Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it. Scientists have always been making studies in the field. Today, in most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers. But it can be used again. Even though every large city reused its water, still there would not be enough. What could people turn to next? The sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea. All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water. This is expensive, but it’s already used in many parts of the world. Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it. So you see, if we can find a way out, we’ll be in no danger of drying up. ( )56 ．The world is thirsty because ________. A ．3/4 of the earth is covered with water B ．we have enough river water to use directly C ．about 97% of water on the earth can’t be drunk or used directly D ．we can drink sea water directly.

What you need to know l Food growing has been taught in schools for more than 100 years in the UK. l At most schools, food growing is an extracurricular activity. This means it's usually an after-class club instead of a lesson like English or Maths. l The number of school pupils in the UK growing their own food has increased since 2023, according to a recent survey. Some people say that growing food is a skill that every child should learn while others think it's not necessary. What do you think? Should children learn to grow food? Yes-it teaches children so much. Growing food is a fun way to learn about lots of things besides books. Students get to know where food actually comes from and it's a way to learn more about soil, insects and weather. Also, if children grow food, studies show that it helps them to be healthier. Planting, watering and moving around outside is a great way to keep fit just like PE. Besides, watching a small seed grow into food makes students feel like they achieve something besides the stressful numbers on the test papers. No-it's not a necessary skill. Not all schools have enough space to grow food. Buying seeds and gardening tools also costs money. Some schools may have trouble finding the right place and sparing（留出）enough money. Besides, looking after a patch（菜 地）properly takes time and effort-perhaps more than students can give. Schools would have to get help from staff or volunteers to manage the weeding（除草），watering and so on. Anyway, most students will buy their food from shops in the future. Growing food is a lovely hobby but it's not a necessary life skill. Should students learn to grow food? Some facts about food growing in British schools ·It has a history of over 100 years. ·It is not as important as other lessons. ·An (61) number of pupils grow food at school. 8AU1 闯关 D 第5页 共 8 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 Different attitudes towards students learning to grow food Pros Cons Educational value ·Learn the origin of food. ·Get knowledge about soil, (62) and weather. Lack of resources ·Not have enough (64) . ·Can't afford seeds and tools. Health benefit ·Engage in activities similar to PE to keep fit. Time and energy Require much time and effort. ·Need extra help from staff or (65) Sense of (63) ·Achieve something beyond test grades to be more confident. (66) life skill ·Tend to buy food from shops in the future. ·Better treat it as a lovely hobby. D. Read the passage below and answer the following questions. （根据文章内容回答下列问题）（11 分） Gulliver（格列佛）is planning on leaving Blefuscu for Lilliput. The island of Blefuscu is only about a kilometre to the north ofLilliput. I knew that just beyond the narrow sea separating the two countries, there were at least fifty warships ready to attack us. But I kept away from that side of the coast so that the people of Blefuscu would not see me. I had a secret plan. From the King's workmen I ordered fifty heavy metal hooks, each fastened （使系牢）to a piece of strong rope. I took off my coat and shoes ， and walked into the sea with the hooks and ropes in my hands. The water was deep in the middle, so I had to swim for a few metres. But it only took me half an hour to get to Blefuscu. When the Blefuscans saw me, they were so frightened that they jumped out of their ships and swam to the beach. I then used one hook for each ship, and tied all the ropes together at one end. While I was doing this, the enemy shot thousands of arrows at me. I was afraid of getting an arrow in my eyes, but I suddenly remembered I still had an old pair of reading glasses in my pocket, so I put them on and continued my work. When I was ready, I started walking into the shallow（浅的）water away from Blefuscu. As I walked through the waves ，I pulled the enemy's warships behind me. When the people of Blefuscu realized that all their warships were disappearing, their cries were terrible to hear. As I came nearer to Lilliput, I saw the King and all his lords and ladies standing on the beach. They could only see Blefuscu's warships coming closer, as I was swimming and my head was sometimes under the water. Therefore, they supposed that I had drowned, and that the Blefuscan ships were attacking. But when they saw me walking out of the sea, they welcomed me warmly with cries of astonishment and delight. The King himself came down to the water to meet me. “Everyone in Lilliput is grateful to you!" he cried. "For your bravery, you will be one of my lords from now on.” 8AU1 闯关 D 8AU1 闯关 D 第6页 共 8 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 "Thank you, sir," I replied. ——from Gulliver ＇s Travels（《格列佛游记》） 67 ．How was the relationship between Blefuscu and Lilliput?
