举一反三
A private American
organization called Population Action International did the new study. It says more than three-hundred-thirty-five-million people lack enough water now. The people live in twenty-eight countries. Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East.P-A-I researcher Robert Engelman says by the year 2025, about three-thousand-million people may lack water. At least 18 more countries are expected to have severe water problems. The demand for water keeps increasing. Yet the amount of water on Earth stays the same.
Mr. Engelman says the population in countries that lack water is growing faster than in other parts of the world. He says population growth in these countries will continue to increase.
The report says lack of water in the future may result in several problems. It may increase health problems. Lack of water often means drinking waters are not safe. Mr. Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases, such as cholera, which are carried in water. Lack of water may also result in more international conflict. Countries may have to compete for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries. This is true of Egypt, the Netherlands, Cambodia, Syria, Sudan, and Iraq. And the report says lack of water would affect the ability of developing to improve their economies. This is because new industries often need a large amount of water when they are begin
ning.The Population Action International study gives several solutions to the water problem. One way, it says, is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose. Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water. A third way is to use less water of agriculture.
The report also says long-term solutions to the water problem must include controls on population growth. It says countries cannot provide clean water unless they slow population growth by limiting the number of children people have.
小题1: are expected to have severe water problems by the year 2025.
| A．18 countries | B．No countries |
| C．46 countries | D．28 countries |
| A．New industries need a lot of water |
| B．There are solutions to the water problem |
| C．Egypt now has enough fresh water |
| D．Lack of water may cause conflict between countries |
A. The ability of developing has nothing to do with lack of water.
B. . It is not known whether diseases have something to do with lack of water
C. Lack of water may also result from international conflict
D There is connection between providing clean water and slowing population growth
小题4:The best title of the passage would be .
| A．World Water Shortage | B．Population and Water |
| C．World Conflict | D．Diseases and Water |
The studies show that children, especially those under five, are often overwhelmed and actually play less than those with fewer toys. It may even harm their development. The studies show that giving children too many toys or toys of the wrong type can actually be doing them harm. They get overwhelmed and cannot concentrate on anything long enough to learn from it.
The conclusions have been backed up by British research looking at children with relatively fewer toys, whose parents spend more
time reading, singing or playing with them. It showed such children surpass(胜过) youngsters from richer backgrounds, even those who could use computers.Some parents notice the ill effect early. Orhan Ismail, a researcher saw a change for the worse in Cameron, his 10-month-old son, after he was given a lot of toys last Christmas.
Ismail said, “ If there are too many toys in front of him, he will just keep flitting around them and then end up going off and finding something like a slipper to play with. Now we just get out one or two toys and hide the rest in a box.”
Alexander and her husband also decided to limit the toys their 6 daughters play with. She believed many toys restrict children’s imaginations. She said, “ A Barbie can only work as a Barbie. But a cardboard box can become anything. The only limitations are in the child’s mind.”
Experts hesitate to put a figure on the number of toys children should have, but
many believe two dozen is enough for children of preschool age.小题1:In the writer’s opinion, a Barbie _____.
| A．can attract more attention from children than a cardboard box |
| B．can work more than a Barbie |
| C．may become anything else such as a cardboard |
| D．may keep children from further imaginations |
| A．too many toys will help children develop wide interests. |
| B．One or two toys at a time will help children concentrate. |
| C．Only wrong types of toys do harm to children. |
| D．The proper number of toys given to the children depends on their ages. |
| A．spend more time reading or playing with children |
| B．choose right types of toys for children |
| C．ask experts for the exact number of necessary toys |
| D．put out one or two toys and hide the rest |
Research suggests many of us are likely to respond “no”, and public support for spanking (打屁股) has been falling over the years. But surveys also show that 75 percent to nearly 90 percent of parents admit spanking their child at least once.
I was raised in a zero-tolerance( 零容忍) home for disrespect, and my parents often turned to physical punishment. And, no, I don’t feel I was damaged by it.
Nothing is more annoying than watching ill-mannered behavior from children.
But there is data to suggest that a return to old-school spanking isn’t the answer.
Two years ago , Newsweek reported that it had found data suggesting that teens whose parents used physical punishment were more likely to become aggressive(好斗的).
Murray Straus, professor at the University of New Hampshire in America, has studied the topic of children and spanking for decades. He said that children who were physically punished have lower IQs than their peers. It may be that children with lower IQs were more likely to get spanked, but the punishment may have been counterproductive (反作用) to their mental development, as well.
Some researchers make the argument that occasional open-handed smacks (用巴掌打) on the bottom are not only harmless but can have some benefit.
Last year, Marjorie Gunnoe, a psychologist at Calvin College, studied teens who have never been spanked. There are a greater number of children growing up without ever having been physically punished. Gunnoe’s research suggests they don’t turn out any better than those who were sometimes spanked.
There are some parents who simply cannot control their tempers. But I still believe that the best parents are the ones who are able to offer fair and firm discipline (管教) without ever turning to physical punishment.
小题1: What can we know from the research in the second paragraph?
| A．Many of the parents made no response to the survey. |
| B．More and more people support spanking in public. |
| C．Most parents have the experience of spanking their children. |
| D．Many of the parents think they should hit their children. |
| A．the children who have never been spanked do better than those who were sometimes spanked |
| B．instead of harmless, spanking can have a little benefit |
| C．spanking has little effect on the children’s future performance |
| D．the teens who were often spanked are more likely to be aggressive |
| A．who often use physical punishment | B．who never use physical punishment |
| C．who use physical punishment properly | D．who take physical punishment as useful tool |
| A．The author’s parents were strict with him when he was young. |
| B．The author thinks his parents’ spanking did no harm to him. |
| C．Murray Straus thinks spanking has nothing to do with children’s IQs. |
| D．Some parents spank their children because they can’t control their tempers. |
Several days before Homecoming, students start to decorate(装饰) the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team, and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Homecoming twenty or thirty years after their graduation.
