Give water, save lives A bottle of water may not seem like much to you, but thousands of bottles will be of great help for people who live in drought-hit(遭受旱灾) areas in China. Since last autumn, there has been very little rain in Southwest China. Some places, especially in Yunnan . Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, have experienced a serious drought. Crops (庄稼) died, the land cracked, and wells (井) and rivers dried up. More than 20 million people are having difficulty in finding safe drinking water. After learning about the drought, many people around the country helped by giving water, money and other things. Last week, every member of the Communist Youth League (共青团员) and Young Pioneers(少先队员) were encouraged to give one bottle of water to the drought-hit areas. Students in primary schools and middle schools quickly joined the activity. In Yuhua Primary School in Xi’ an, 900 students bought over 1,000 bottles of water with their pocket money. They also wrote their wishes on the bottles. The serious drought has also made students realize the importance of saving water. Students from Nanshan Middle School in Huizhou in Guangdong went on the street to tell people to take part in water-saving activities. “I’ve heard that some children in drought-hit areas don’ t have enough drinking water. They have to drink muddy ( 含有泥土的 ) water. I feel really sad about that," said one student. “I decide to take a shower twice a week instead of every day to save water.”he said. 小题1:Why did a serious drought happen in Southwest China?   ___________________________________________________________________________                     小题2:What does the underlined (划线的) word "cracked" probably mean in Chinese? ______________________________________________                   ! 小题3:What did people do after learning about the drought?                                                                    小题4:Is a bottle of water helpful for the people in drought-hit areas?                                                                                小题5:What can you learn from the passage?

答案

小题1:Because there has been very little rain since last autumn. 小题2:裂开、裂缝 小题3: They helped by giving water, money and other things. 小题4: Yes, it is. / No, but thousands will. / A bottle of water isn’t much, but thousands will be of great use. 小题5:It’s time for us to save water. / We should help out people in trouble.

前面三段说明性的文章可以带着问题直接去找答案。而且答案一般都是按照段落顺序。后面段落讲述了西安一个学校的共青团员和广东的学生为干旱所做的事情。 1.  Southwest China是大写字母做关键词，在文章第二段第一行Since last autumn, there has been very little rain in Southwest China.用why提问，要用Because来回答，所以答案是Because there has been very little rain since last autumn. 2.猜词义要根据上下文的语境，在第二段第三行Crops (庄稼) died, the land cracked,庄稼死了，由于前面的干旱，猜测可得是土地开裂的意思。 3.after learning about the drought是关键词，在文章第三段many people around the country helped by giving water, money and other things. 答案中many people around the country用they代替。 4.第四段In Yuhua Primary School in Xi’ an, 900 students bought over 1,000 bottles of water with their pocket money. 根据文章意思回答是或者不是都有道理：对于干旱的地方来说，就算一瓶水也很重要，回答 Yes, it is.也可以理解为一瓶水太少，没有用，但文章中如果1000多瓶水可能就有用了，所以答案也可以是No, but thousands will. / A bottle of water isn’t much, but thousands will be of great use.（此题需要自己组织语言，比较难） 5.前三段讲了干旱，后面讲了学生们采取行动。所以是在呼吁更多的人加入节约用水的活动中来。只要答到这个意思即可。It’s time for us to save water. / We should help out people in trouble.意思与这个相仿都可以。
