第四部分任务型阅读 (共10小题;每小题1分, 满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格的空格处里填人最恰当的单词。注意:每个空格填1个单词。
There’re seven oceans across most of the earth"s surface. But they contain saltwater, unfit for human consumption. Only a tiny part of the world"s water – about 2.5 percent – is drinkable. That still would be an enough supply if it were clean and available where needed. However, it"s not.
Today some 1.2 billion people lack access to safe drinking water and 2.6 billion lack proper waste water treatment. As a result, polluted water supplies are blamed for the worldwide deaths of 1.8 million children, according to the United Nation"s Human Development Report for 2006.That means 4,900 children under 5 years old died per day.
What"s more, children worldwide miss 443 million days of school each year because of water-related illnesses. The UN also estimates that half of the world"s hospital beds are occupied by patients suffering from water-borne diseases.
Beyond that, millions of people (almost always women) in different parts of the world spend hours per day carrying water up to several miles for their family"s needs because no source is close at hand.
Since 1992, the UN has sponsored(倡议) World Water Day, observed on March 22, to raise awareness of the need to protect and improve access to clean water supplies. 
"When the well is dry, then we know the worth of water," said Benjamin Franklin, long before today"s water challenges.
It"s clear that competition for water "will intensify(加剧) in the decades ahead," said Kemal Dervis, administrator of the United Nations Development Program in its 2006 report. "Water is the fundamental resource, crossing borders through rivers, lakes – a fact that points to the potential for cross-border tensions in water-stressed regions."
Growing populations, are using up water resources, and climate change is expected to worsen the problem as it changes rainfall patterns. A new UN study shows that as temperatures have gone up, the world"s glaciers(冰川) have been decreasing at fast rates and may disappear entirely within a few decades. China, India, and the West Coast of the United States are among populous places that rely on glaciers for their water supply. Glaciers feed some of the world"s great rivers, which serve billions of people.
One of the UN"s Millennium Development Goals, established in 2000, is to cut in half by the year 2015 the population unable to reach or afford safe drinking water. Achieving that goal is "critically important," says UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon. "When you look at the health and development challenges faced by the poorest of the world"s population, the common sticking point often turns out to be water." Governments and private groups are working hard to solve the problem as well.

(D)
Mozart was one of the greatest composers who ever lived. He was born in Salzburg,
Austria, in 1756. Even when he was very young, Mozart loved music. His father, who was the leader of an orchestra, was very happy that his son was so interested in music. When Mozart was three years old, he learned to play the harpsichord, which is a kind of piano. Mozart began to compose music at the age of five, and his father took him to play in front of the kings and queens of Europe.
At one concert, one of the violinists was missing from the orchestra. Mozart picked up a violin and played the music without a mistake. Mozart’s father and the other players in the orchestra were surprised. Mozart had never been taught to play the violin! Mozart continued travelling around Europe with his father, who was his teacher in everything. He composed many pieces for the piano, the violin, and later for full orchestra.
Mozart could write down a piece of music even if he had heard it only once. One day, he went to hear a group of people singing in a big church in Rome. The song was very special. The church leader said that people could sing the song only once a year, and only in his church. No one else was allowed to have the music. Mozart listened to the song. Although it was very difficult and long, Mozart went back home and wrote down the whole piece from memory. The head of the church heard about this, and instead of being angry with Mozart, he gave him a prize.
When Mozart grew up, people were not so interested in him. He worked as a teacher and pianist, but he did not make much money. In 1791, at the age of 35, he died. He was so poor that there was not enough money for him to have a proper grave. No one knows where he is buried.
43. The story is mainly about ____.
A. Mozart and his music
B. a leader of an orchestra
C. the life of a great composer
D. the head of a church in Rome.
44. Mozart’s father helped Mozart a lot by ____.
A. teaching him about music
B. giving him a violin to play with
C. sending him to a music school
D. giving him a lot of money
45. When Mozart was only three years old, he ____.
A. went to Rome  B. began to sing  C. began to compose music  D. played the harpsichord.
46. Mozart had a very good _____.
A. violin   B. grave   C. memory   D. orchestra

第二节:任务型阅读(共3小题,每小题2分,满分6分)
阅读下列材料,然后按要求完成材料后面的三个小题。
Driving Rules in Winter
Winter is dangerous because it’s so difficult to know what is going to happen and accidents take place so easily. Fog(雾) can be waiting to meet you over the top of a hill. Ice might be hiding under the melting snow, waiting ahead to send you off the road. The car coming to you may suddenly slip(滑)  across the road.
Rule Number One for driving on icy roads is to drive smoothly(平稳地). Sudden movements can make a car very difficult to control. So very time you either start or stop your car, increase or reduce your speed, you must be as gentle and slow as possible. Suppose you are driving with full cup of hot coffee on the seat next to you. Drive so that you wouldn’t spill(溅) it.
Rule Number Two is to pay attention to what might happen. The more ice there is, the further down the road you have to look. Test how long it takes to gently stop your car. Remember that you may be driving more quickly than you think. Generally, allow twice of your usual stopping distance when the road is wet, three times this distance on snow and even more on ice. Try to stay in control of your car at all times and you will not get into trouble.
请根据阅读材料补全以下语句信息。(48-49题,每空一词,共4分)
48. Winter is dangerous for drivers because there may be ____  or  ____ on the road.
