阅读理解。How Time Changes around the World?
  Strange things happen to time when you travel because the earth is divided
into twenty-four zones(时区),one hour apart(一个时区相差一个小时). You can
have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or
fewer than seven days. 
  If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean(大西洋), your ship
enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes
one hour. Travelling west, you set your clock back, travelling east, you set it
ahead (向前). Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours. 
  If you travel by ship across the Pacific. You cross the international date line
(国际日期变更线). By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins.
When you cross the line, you change your calender one full day, backward or
forward. Travelling east, today becomes yesterday. Travelling west, it is
tomorrow. 1. Strange things happen to time when you travel because ______.  A. no day really has twenty-four hours 
B. no one knows where time zones begin 
C. the earth is divided into time zones 2. The difference in time between zones is ______.    A. one hour
B. more than seven days
C. seven days 3. If you travel across the Atlantic Ocean, going east, you set your clock ______.A. one hour ahead in each time zone

     Suppose (假定) every person on Earth ate only one kind of food. And maybe one year that food 
couldn"t   1   . If that happened, man would soon   2   .
      Luckily, man doesn"t   3    that problem. But another animal may. The animal is the giant (巨大的)
panda, one of the world"s most-loved animals.
      Dr Thomas Soderstrom, a scientist, has   4    for the first time that the bamboo (竹子) the giant 
pandas eat is dying. As a result, many of the pandas are also dying of being   5   . Scientists estimate 
(估计) that so far more than 140 giant pandas have died. This number may be   6   one-quarter of 
the world"s giant panda population. Between 400 and 1000 giant pandas are   7   to live in mountains.
      Giant pandas were once more   8   all over many parts of Asia (亚洲). Now they are only in small 
parts of China.
      Can the wild pandas be   9  ?
      The scientists want to find out more about the animals" food. They want to see whether the pandas 
are able to   10   their food while the bamboo is dying.
      Chinese scientists are trying to raise (饲养) more pandas in zoos. The first baby panda was born in 
the Beijing Zoo in the fall of 1978.

                                                The World"s Water Shortage
    The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since
nearly 70 percent (百分比) of the earth"s surface is covered with water. But about 97 percent of this
huge amount is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3 percent-the fresh
water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources (资源). And we cannot even use all of that,
because some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers (冰川). Even worse, some of it has been
polluted.
    However, as things stand today, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us. But our need
for water is increasing (增加) rapidly-almost day by day. Only if we take steps to deal with this
problem now can we avoid (避免) a severe (严重的) worldwide water shortage later on.
    We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop ways
of reusing it.
    Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system (下水道).
From there it returns to the sea or runs into underground storage tanks. But it is possible to pipe used
water to a purifying (净化) plant. There it can be treated with chemicals so that it can be used again,
just as if it were fresh from a spring.
    But even if every large city purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we"d
have to do to make use of the vast reserves (贮备) of sea water in the world is to remove the salt.
    If we take these steps we"ll be in no danger of drying up.
1. The world is thirsty for water because we can only use _____ percent of the water covering the
surface of the earth.
    A. 3
    B. more than 3
    C. less than 3
    D. 97
2. Which of the following statements is Not true?
    A. As things remain unchanging, this small amount of fresh water is still enough for us.
    B. Our need for water is becoming larger and larger.
    C. There will be no water shortage in the future.
    D. We should take steps to deal with the water shortage problem.
3. To reuse water, we should _____.
    A. treat it with chemicals
    B. use it only once
    C. send it out into a sewer system
    D. make it flow into underground tanks
4. In order to have enough water, we should also make use of _____.
    A. icebergs and glaciers
    B. sea water
    C. rivers and lake
    D. underground water
5. In the passage, the writer tells us _____.
    A. to make enough water
    B. to pay more attention to the water shortage problem
    C. to pipe used water to a purifying plant
    D. to reuse the water
