[1] For the people living in the Nile Basin,the river is their life. This 6,825 km river,whose watershed (流域) covers three million square kilometers,flows through mountains,woodlands,lakes and deserts. Its potential for fishing,tourism and shipping is great — but so are its challenges.
[2] Water shortage,already serious in Egypt and Sudan,will soon influence several other countries in the watershed, too. Today,about 160 million people depend on the Nile River for their living. Within the next 25 years,the district"s population is expected to double,adding to the demand brought about by growth in industry and agriculture. The frequent drought adds to the urgency.
[3] Water quality is also a problem. Precious soil is washed out to sea. Wastes from industry and agriculture create pollution. Higher concentrations of salt influence irrigated soils. Waterborne diseases continue unchecked. In areas where it"s hot and damp,water hyacinths choke off lakes,dams and other sections of the river,making it difficult for fishing and other businesses to move forward.
[4] Native people along the narrow area of farmland have watched the sand move closer day by day. They"ve seen the river change course,and their only source of water thickened with mud. They"re very poor and have few choices.
[5] But a new program,the Nile Basin Initiative,is offering very practical assistance. The program is ________ a watermanagement project. It"s a plan for the social and economic development of a vast district as well:it concentrates on the needs of the poorest of the poor and the environment that supports them.
[6] These are whole ecosystem problems,calling for united solutions.Half the Nile Basin"s countries are among the world"s poorest nations;yet,somehow,they must find the resources,skills and political will to overcome these challenges.

小题3: 320 million.

核心考点
试题【阅读下面短文并回答问题,然后将答案写在横线上(请注意问题后的词数要求)[1] For the people living in the Nile Basin,t】;主要考察你对数词等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
A.The secret of the writer’s success |
B.A writer with enduring popularity |
C.Well-received creation to encourage Brits |
D.The insight into human nature |
F. The story appreciate for school students
1. ____________
Charles Dickens is often thought of as one of England’s great writers. Yet for many his language is old-fashioned and his story plots often improbable. Why, Dickens, out of so many other great English writers, has made the list? How then to explain Dickens’s enduring popularity?
2. _____________
One reason undoubtly is the British government’s insistence that every child studies a Dickens novel at school. Alongside Willian Shakespeare, Charles Dickens is a compulsory (必读的)writer on every English literature school reading list. His stories, though often over-long by today’s standard, are superbly written moral tales. They are filled with colorful characters.
3. ______________
But what makes his books stand out from other English writers is his insight into human nature. Dickens, like Shakespeare, tells us truths about human behavior that are as true to citizens of the 21st century as they were to his readers in the 19th century. Readers have returned to Dickens’s books again and again over the years to see what he has to say about readers’ own time.
4. _______________
The BBC adapted one of his less well-known novels, Little Dorrit, into a popular television drama that introduced many Brits to the novel for the first time. A dark story about greed and money, it was the perfect story to illustrate the bad times. No surprise then that it was Dickens Britons turned to, during the economic crisis last year, to make sense of world rapidly falling apart.
5. _______________
Readers of the 19th and early 20th century usually prized Dickens’s earlier novels for their humor and pathos(悲痛). While recognizing the virtues of these books, critics today tend to rank more highly the later works because of their formal coherence and acute perception(洞察力) of the human condition. For as long as Dickens’s novels have something to say to modern audiences, it seems likely that he will remain one of Britain’s best loved writers.
Slowly, however, I became more confident. The teacher made sure 小题2:____ would always touch the bottom of the pool with my feet and 小题3:____ my head was above water. By the end of the lesson I could float on the water for 小题4:____ least a minute.
I’m glad I’m learning to swim; it can be lots of fun. Soon I hope to be able to dive into the pool 小题5:____ swim underwater.
Stress is an uncomfortable feeling in the mind from any situation or thought that makes you feel frustrated,angry, or anxious. Stress is often accompanied by physical symptoms like trembling,sleeping difficulties and nightmares(恶梦).
Stress is a normal part of life.In small quantities,stress is good—it can motivate you and help you be more productive. However,too much stress is harmful. It can cause general poor health as well as specific physical or mental depression. Persistent and never-ceasing stress often leads to anxiety and unhealthy behaviours like abuse of alcohol or drugs.
Certain drugs can lead to symptoms of stress due to side effects. A poor diet can also contribute to stress or anxiety.Performance stress is related to specific situations,like taking a test or making a presentation in public. Post-traumatic stress develops after an unforgettably shocking event like war, physical attacks, or a natural disaster.
Any effective ways to cope with your stress or anxiety? One step is to make a list of what you think might be making you ‘stress out’:Is something constantly on your mind? Does anything in particular make you sad or depressed?
Then,find someone you believe in who will listen to you. Often,just talking to a friend or loved one is all that is needed to relieve anxiety. Most communities also have support groups and hotlines that can help. Social workers,psychologists,and other mental health professionals may be needed for therapy and medication.
Also, find healthy ways to deal with stress. For example, eat a healthy diet,get enough sleep, exercise regularly, limit caffeine and alcohol.Learn and practice relaxation techniques like yoga and tai chi. Make sure to balance fun activities with your responsibilities. Spend time with people you enjoy. Find self-help books at your local library or bookstore.
