Electricity shortage leaves Afghanistan in the dark. Electricity is in short supply in the Middle Eastern Nation of Afghanistan. Only 6 percent of the country’s residents have electric power, according to the Asian Development Bank, an organization that works to reduce poverty.

Some residents in Kabul received only 3 hours of electricity a day last fall. Others received none. Kabul is the capital of Afghanistan. “It’s dark everywhere,” says city resident Gul Hussein. “Some of our neighbours are using candles.”

Experts say water shortage is partly to blame. Water is used to make electricity. In Kabul, power becomes scarce in midsummer, when the region’s hydroelectric(水力發(fā)電的) dams dry up. Hydroelectricity is made by the force of falling water.

Kabul’s growing population is also a cause. Since the late 1990s, the city’s population has jumped from less than 1 million to more than 4 million people. Now even more electricity is needed.

Despite receiving millions of dollars in international aid, the country’s electricity shortages continue. Still, Afghans hope for a solution. One plan is to import, or bring in, power from the nearby country Uzbekistan. Afghan officials also spoke with U.S. president about the nation’s need to make its own electricity.

“ Life takes power,” says Jan Agha, a worker from Kabul. “If you have electricity, life is good; but if there’s no electricity, you go around like a blind man.”

1.One reason for electricity shortage is _________

A. the lack of international aid  

B. the shortage of hydroelectric dams

C. the increase of population   

D. the low temperature in midsummer

2. Which of the following will probably a solution for the problem of electricity shortage?

A. To build more hydroelectric dams.

B. To advise people to use less electricity.

C. To buy electricity from America.

D. To produce electricity on its own.

3. What does the underlined word “scarce” mean in paragraph 3?

A. not normal    B. not little    C. not effective   D. not enough

4. Which one should be the best title for the passage?

A. Water Shortage in Afghanistan       B. Population Lead to Lack of Electricity

C. Electricity Shortage in Afghanistan   D. Help Needed in Afghanistan

閱讀理解。
     Since Erica was a young girl, she had always wanted to meet an alien. Then one day, something truly
unbelievable happened. 
     Erica woke up early one bright, sunny Saturday morning. It was a beautiful day, so she went outside
to enjoy her breakfast in the sunshine. Then she heard a strange sound coming from the garden. She looked
up and saw a short, green creature standing in the middle of the garden. It had two big brown eyes and three
ears on top of its head. It was an alien.
     The alien and Erica stared at each other, neither of them moving. Though meeting an alien was a dream
to come true, she was not quite prepared for it. She had to keep up the courage to talk to the alien. So Erica
walked over to it cautiously.
     Suddenly, the alien opened its mouth and said, "Prue." The alien then picked one of the flowers and
handed it to Erica. "Prue." the alien said again and pointed to the flower.
     Erica was very excited to finally meet a real, live alien. Even though they were speaking in completely
different languages, they could understand each other. Erica spent the whole day accompanying the alien.
They walked around Erica's garden and picked up different things that they saw-flowers, grass and other
plants. Erica showed the alien some of her old toys, saying the English words for all these things and hoping
to teach it English. After Erica said each English word, the alien said something in its language. They were
teaching each other!
     When the sun began to set in the evening, the alien looked up at the sky. He pointed to the sky, and said,
"Keeta m'gul arul." "I understand," said Erica. The alien smiled at Erica, and she smiled back and waved at it.
The alien then walked off and disappeared right before her eyes. Although Erica was sad to see the alien go,
she was happy because one of her lifelong dreams had finally come true.
1. The alien was _____ when Erica first saw it.
[     ]
A. holding a glass of orange juice

C. pointing at
D. walking around
