They had to walk along the mountain road for two hours to the nearest water source. The water was not clean. They used only gauze (纱布) to filter the water. It was not a strange thing for the residents in the village to fall sick after drinking the water. Now, however, all the villagers can enjoy clean drinking-water straight from the tap at home. Taking a shower used to be something of a luxury (奢侈), but now the villagers can enjoy one every day. The tap water has made their lives much more convenient. The change happened in 2018. The local government spent almost 9 million yuan building a project to provide water for the village. It took water from a spring (泉) at an altitude of 3,500 meters. There were huge difficulties in building the project because large machines could not enter the area. The workers had to depend on horses to move materials in. Sometimes, they had to carry materials themselves. This was one of many projects to provide clean drinking water for the residents in the countryside. Before 2020, in southern Xinjiang alone, the residents in 67 villages couldn’t use tap water. To supply them with safe drinking waters the workers had to overcome lots of difficulties. First of all, there was no suitable local water source because the water there wasn’t fit for drinking. After a long period of surveying and researching, they decided to get water from more than 100 kilometers away to meet the needs of the 470,000 residents in Payzawat. The great project began in May 2019 and on May 20, 2020, the last part of the project was completed. A time of safe drinking water began for the residents in the area. More than 90 percent of the residents in the countryside now use tap water, up from 71 percent in 2015. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 6. What does the underlined word “filter” most probably mean in Chinese? A. 堵漏 B. 擦干 C. 扔掉 D. 过滤 7. Why was it difficult to build the project in the village of Ushkaplun? A. Because the horses were very weak. B. Because they didn’t have enough money. C. Because the road conditions were bad. D. Because they didn’t have many workers. 8 The main difficulty in supplying safe drinking water in Payzawat was ________. A. there was no suitable water source B. it was difficult to carry the materials C. the spring was at a very high altitude D. there were no big rivers running by 9. When was the last part of the project in Payzawat completed? A. In 2018. B. In 2019. C. In 2020. D. In 2021. 10. What does the text mainly tell us? A. The difficulties in supplying safe drinking water. B. Why some people in Xinjiang were short of drinking water. C. How many residents were short of safe drinking water. D. How to supply safe drinking water to some villagers. C Can plants talk? Modern research has found something amazing: they do communicate with each other. It has been known for some time that plants use chemicals to communicate with each other. This happens when a plant gets attacked by insects. The plant gives out chemicals from the leaves that are being eaten. This is like a warning, or a call for help: “I’m being attacked!” When another plant gets the chemicals, it starts to give out its own, different chemicals. Some of these chemicals drive insects away. Others attract the wasps（黄蜂; 蜜蜂）! The wasps kill the insects that are eating the plants. Scientists hope to learn more about this plant warning system, so that we can use it to grow more crops. More surprisingly, plants also use sound to communicate. People can’t hear these sounds; but plants are making them. Some plants make noises with their roots. Corn and chili plants do this. Some trees make clicking noises when there is not enough water. Most surprisingly of all, plants have an amazing system of communication that can link nearly every plant in a forest. Scientists call this system the “wood wide web” . The wood wide web is linked underground by fungi（霉菌）. It links the roots of different plants to each other. It is in some ways similar to the Internet we use. Using the wood wide web, plants can share information and even food with each other. However, it may lead to bad effects. Plants may use it to steal food from each other, or spread chemicals to attack other plants. Perhaps one day scientists will learn how to create a “firewall” to help prevent these attacks within the wood wide web. Scientists are learning more every day about the secret ways in which plants talk to each other. Maybe one day we will know enough about plant communication to be able to “talk” with them ourselves. 11. What will plants do when they are attacked by insects? A. They will kill the insects by themselves. B. They will control the wasps to kill the insects. C. They will send out signals to ask for help. D. They will produce chemicals as a warning or a call for help. 12. How are the wood wide web linked by fungi? A. By making noises with their roots. B. By connecting the roots of different plants to each other. C. By sharing food and information with each other. D. By spreading chemicals to each other. 13. What is the writer’s intention of the last paragraph? A. To give people hope for further studies. B. To praise scientists for their great achievements. C. To call on people to protect the plants on Earth. D. To inspire people to communicate with plants. 14. What is the structure of the passage? A. B. C. D. 15. Which is the best title for the passage? A. The Secret Language of Plants B. The Study about the Plant Warning System C. The Plants that Give Warnings D. Why Scientists Do Research about Plants D 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。 Have you ever imagined what the house will be like in the future? ____16____ We know for certain that nothing is impossible.
