初三中考英语三模测试卷带答案(2)

　　C

　　Winnie sat outside the Headmistress's office waiting to be called in. She wished she had not been caught down by the river at lunchtime. But it was too late now.

　　That morning, Winnie happened to be in the playground with a group of girls from the ninth grade. She liked hanging out with the older girls. She felt more important when she was with them. She especially admired Vicky. Vicky was always breaking the school rules, but somehow managed to get away with it.

　　Vicky told the group of girls she pinched a packet of cigarettes* from her dad's pocket. She invited them to follow her to the river at lunchtime for a smoke. They sat under the bridge and Vicky passed round the packet of cigarettes. Winnie had never smoked before. It tasted awful. The other girls started making fun of her. Then Vicky told Winnie to steal a packet of cigarettes from her dad and bring it to school for them to smoke. Winnie knew this was wrong but wanted so much to be part of the group. So she said they could count on her to bring a packet the next day.

　　Then, suddenly, before they could hide their cigarettes, Mr. Jackson, her class teacher was standing next to them. He was furious. Vicky threw the packet of cigarettes into Winnie and said, "She gave them to us. She stole them from her dad." But Mr. Jackson had seen and heard everything. He told them to go straight back to school and wait for him outside the Headmistress's office.

　　Now, sitting outside the Headmistress's office, Winnie knew she would be punished but in her heart she also knew the punishment was a stitch in time. She would never try another cigarette and would never again get mixed up with students like Vicky. Winnie was beginning to have second thoughts about Vicky. Because of Vicky, she was in trouble, too.

　　The door opened and Vicky came out. She was crying. Winnie had never seen Vicky cry before. She looked so different, so weak, so unimportant. In a flash Winnie realized Vicky was not a very nice person after all.

　　The supply of water is causing increasing an uncomfortable feeling to scientists in many countries. In these countries, it is fast becoming an important social and economic problem. The water requirements depend on various facts. An obvious one is the amount needed for household use in baths, showers, washing-machines, toilet and so on. The amount of water used in industry is greater than in the houses. Textile works are major users. A lot of water is also used in agriculture: in irrigation and in the keeping of animals.

　　In some under-developed countries the daily water consumption* is as low as two or three gallons* while in other countries it reaches 100 gallons a person. As standards of living improve, an increased rate* of consumption must be expected. At the same time, many countries are making a great effort to set up sew industries: to create jobs and get money through exports*. Unluckily, the degree of pollution of the water used in modern industries is often very high and prevents the water from being used again. More water will also be needed in future years for agricultural purposes; with enough water supplies deserts will be transformed and become rich crop-growing areas.

　　Although the natural supply of water (It comes from fall of rain, snow, etc.) is at present far larger than the world's total requirements, this supply is not distributed and full use cannot be made of it. The conveyance* of water over long distances is too expensive to be practicable, and many of the world's great rivers contains a lot of fresh water which can never be of much real use. For the world's immediate needs, men must now look to new sources of fresh water, and they must develop technologies for recovering fresh water from salt water. Every country is trying to find ways to turn salt water into fresh. In the past, expense had been a difficulty to the widespread use of desalination* plants, but recent technologies has finally made this method reasonable. Some areas, such as Kuwait, are almost totally dependent on external supplies and would be in a dangerous position. Whatever the methods used, scientists are confident that the supply of fresh water will be increased but they point out that the cost will increase correspondingly.

　　37. In some countries, the amount of water used by each person every day is very low. An important reason for this is that _____.

　　A. living standards are not high B. a lot of water is used in industry

　　C. technologies are not improving D. it is expensive to carry water a long way

　　38. Kuwait is mentioned in the passage to show that _____.

　　A. it is no longer largely dependent on water from the sea

　　B. some areas do not prevent the water from being used again

　　C. it is possible to get large numbers of fresh water from the sea

　　D. some countries are creating jobs and get money through exports

　　39. What can be learned from the passage?

　　A. Textile works need much more water than in the houses.

　　B. The water requirements depend on the number of students.

　　C. Desalination plants can’t be used because of long distances

　　D. Scientists can’t find new methods to supply fresh water now.

　　40. Do you have an idea to get fresh water from the sea? What is it? ▲

　　Dear Amanda,

　　I’m very sorry to say that I cannot go to Wenzhou Museum with you on Saturday morning. I have just found that I have to attend an important class meeting that morning. I hope the change will not cause you too much trouble.

　　Shall we go on Sunday morning? We can set out early so that we’ll have more time to visit the museum and know more about Wenzhou’s history, people, culture and so on. If it’s convenient for you, let’s meet at 8:30 outside the school gate. If not, let me know what time suits you best. I should be available any time after school next week.

　　Yours,
