Will there always be 31       water? When you consider how necessary water is to each and every one of us and to all 32     (live) things, and when you observe how man has mismanaged other 33     (nature) resources, you may have reason to worry. Man has badly polluted his sources of water 34    Earth. And he uses more and more water each day. Can man learn to treat 35      (pollute) water for reuse fast enough 36      (keep) pace with the world’s technology and   37    (grow) population?
At the present time there is no serious shortage of water in the United States. Water, however, is not 38     able to meet all the local needs. Some areas, such as the southwestern part of our country, get less rain than 39    . In these areas, water must be brought in from 40      outside. Los Angeles, for example, must obtain its water from sources hundreds of miles away in the Colorado River and the rivers of northern California.

In ancient times, the most important examination was spoken, not written. In the schools of ancient Greece and Rome, testing usually consisted   31       saying poetry aloud or giving speeches.
Generally, however, modern examinations are written. The written examination, where all students are tested on the same questions, was probably not known 32_________    the nineteenth century. Perhaps it came into   33        (exist) with the great increase in population and the development of modern industry.
Two types of tests are   34         (common) used in modern schools. The first type is sometimes called an “objective” test. It   35   ___________  (intend) to deal with facts, not personal opinions. On objective tests, the student has just one task: he must recognize the correct answer and then he must copy its letter or number onto his examination paper. Sometimes there is   36        answer sheet on which the four letters or numbers are printed. Then the student only has to circle the one         37        go with the correct answer.
For testing some kinds of learning, however , such a test is not very satisfactory. A lively student   38       guess the correct answer without really knowing the material.
For a clearer picture of   39        the student knows, most teachers use another kind of examination in addition to objective tests. They use “essay” tests, and the tests require students to write long answers to broad, general questions. When some essay questions are used along with some objective questions,  40       , a fairly clear picture of the students’ knowledge and ability can usually be obtained.

A nine-year-old girl named Arwa lives with her parents and six brothers and sisters in an old, two-roomed house. She knows nothing of wealth and power but, in her own way, she has helped make history.
Arwa was the youngest of three Yemeni girls who recently went to court complaining they were married against their will and asking for a divorce（離婚）. It forced the government to change its law on early marriage.
Her father Abdul Ali described how a stranger asked him in the market if he knew some marriageable girls. After visiting their home and seeing Arwa and her 15-year-lold sister, he chose the younger child. Abdul Ali said the man had promised he would wait for the girl to reach puberty（青春期）before calling her to his house but then changed his mind.
So why did he sell his daughter to a stranger? “He gave me $150 and promised another $2,000. I was really in need of money and thought it was a solution for the family,” he explained.
When Arwa fought against her husband, she was beaten. The pain only came to an end when her husband and father quarreled and Abdul Ali allowed her to seek outside help. Then she went looking for a neighbor to lend her money for the journey to court. The judge at court took pity on her and gave her freedom.
Yemen’s Minister for Social Affairs, Professor Amat al-Razak Hammed, recognizes that the government needs to make a change and will personally decide on a legal age of 16. She says that both fathers who marry their children off early and officials who sign the marriage contracts should be punished.
Arwa’s courage to seek a divorce was inspired by another young girl from the capital, Sana’a who has become a national famous person.
60. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. Arwa’s behavior influenced the government to change the law on early marriage.
B. Arwa was the first girl to fight for the right of women to have freedom of marriage.
C. Arwa worked together with the government to draw up new marriage laws.

C
The world record for fastest text message typing is held by a 21-year-old college student from Utah, but his flexible fingers could mean serious injury later on. Most adults aged 18-21 prefer texting over e-mail or phone calls, and ergonomics(人體工程學(xué)) researchers are starting to wonder whether it’s putting the younger generation at risk for some overuse injuries – once reserved for older adults who have spent years in front of a computer. Judith Gold, an assistant professor of Epidemiology at the College of Health Professions and Social Work, thinks this might be the case. At this year’s annual meeting of the American Public Health Association, she presented previous research which suggested that among college students, the more they texted, the more pain they had in their neck and shoulders.
“What we’ve seen so far is very similar to what we see with office workers who’ve spent most of their time at a computer,” said Gold, who directs the Ergonomics and Work Physiology Laboratory. “The way the body is positioned for texting – stationary（不動的）shoulders and back with rapidly moving fingers – is similar to the position for typing on a computer.”
Text messaging is a fairly new technology, Gold says, so this is a new area of research among ergonomists. “But given the similarities in body position, findings from research on overuse injuries from computers could be applied here,” she said.
Current studies on computer use show office workers have the tendency to get involved in such diseases as tunnel syndrome, bursitis, and tendonitis.
In Gold’s lab, she and her team use tools like special cameras, motion analysis and heart rate monitors to study the body’s position in several job-related situations. But given the popularity of text messaging among young adults, Gold wants to explore further into the physiological effects of this latest form of communication.
“Looking around our campus, you see every student on their cell phones, typing away,” she said. “It’s the age group that texts the most, so it’s important to know what the health effects may be in order to learn whether it will cause long term damage.”
64. Which of the following are ergonomics researchers not sure about?
A. A 21-year-old college student holds the world record for fastest text message typing.
B. Most adults aged 18-21 prefer texting over e-mail or phone calls.
C. Overuse of computer will cause injuries to health.
D. Over text message will cause long term damage to health.
65. Current studies on computer use will lead people to believe that ______.
A. office workers are good at texting messages
B. office workers tend to suffer from some kinds of physical problems
C. texting messages seriously damage people’s health
D. e-mails and phone calls will be forbidden
66. When texting messages, college students will ______.
A. keep moving shoulders and back
B. move fingers very fast with shoulders and back still
C. spend most of their time at a computer
D. look around their campus
67. The most suitable title of this passage may be ______.
A. Over text messaging could cause shoulder and neck pain
B. Overuse of computers could cause diseases
C. A new world record for fastest text message typing
D. A new scientific discovery by ergonomics researchers
