【題目】閱讀下列短文，從所給的四個選項中，選出最佳選項。
B
A new weapon is on the way in the fight against smoking in Europe. Soon when smokers buy cigarettes they might see a shocking photo of a blackened lung or a cancer patient staring back at them from the packet.
Some boys may think of smoking as cool and sexy. Their friends won't agree when they see their packets of cigarettes lying on the table. The European Union announced on October 22, that it had chosen 42 photos that showed the damage cigarettes could do to the body. It called on member nations to put these pictures on packets to discourage smokers. To catch the attention of teenagers, the special packets warn of long-term medical dangers, like cancer. Short-term effects, like bad skin, are also on the list.
“The true face of smoking is disease, death and horror. That is the message we should send to the young,” said David Byrne, an EU health official. “Hopefully these pictures will shock students out of their love for cigarettes.”
The EU head office hoped the pictures would work better than current written warnings on packs of cigarettes. The warnings included“smoking kills” and “smoking can lead to a slow and painful death.”
So far, Ireland and Belgium have shown interest in the photos. Canada has used similar pictures and warnings on cigarette packs since 2000. The country has recently seen a fall in the number of smokers. According to studies, smoking is the single biggest cause of avoidable death in EU. Every year more than 650,000 smokers die, more than one person a minute.
（1）Why will the “new weapon” hopefully work better according to the passage?
A.Because it is easier to understand.
B.Because it shows both dangers and effects.
C.Because it can be seen by the smokers' friends.
D.Because it is more powerful to catch attention.
（2）The pictures chosen by the EU are supposed to work on ______.
A.young smokers
B.smokers in Ireland and Belgium
C.all smokers
D.young smokers' friends
（3）What can we learn from the passage?
A.Canada has been the first to use the EU's “weapon”.
B.Many smokers don't quite believe the written warnings.
C.The new form of warning has already proved to work.
D.Smoking has caused more deaths than anything else in EU.

【題目】概要寫作。閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容寫一篇60詞左右的內(nèi)容概要。
A new study warns that about thirty percent of the world's people may not have enough water by the year 2025.
A private American organization called Population Action International(PAI) did the new study. It says more than 335 million people lack enough water now. The people live in 28 countries. Most of the countries are in Africa or the Middle East.
PAI researcher Robert Engelman says by the year 2025, about 3, 000 million people may lack water. At least 18 more countries are expected to have severe water problems. The demand for water keeps increasing. Yet the amount of water on Earth stays the same.
Mr. Engelman says the population in countries that lack water is growing faster than in other parts of the world. He says population growth in these countries will continue to increase.
The report says lack of water in the future may result in several problems. It may increase health problems. Lack of water often means drinking waters is not safe. Mr. Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases, such as cholera which are carried in water.
Lack of water may also result in more international conflict. Countries may have to compete for water in the future. Some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries. And the report says lack of water would affect the ability to improve their economies. This is because new industries often need large amounts of water when they are beginning.
The Population Action International study gives several solutions to the water problem. One way, it says, is to find ways to use water for more than one purpose. Another way is to teach people to be careful not to waste water. A third way is to use less water for agriculture.
The report also says long--term solutions to the water problem must include controls on population growth.

【題目】Culture shock isn't a clinical term or medical condition. It's simply a common way to describe the confusing and nervous feelings a person may have after leaving a familiar culture to live in a new and different culture. 【1】

Those can be exciting, but those can also be overwhelming. You may feel sad, anxious, frustrated and want to go home.

Everyone may feel the pressure to change himself to fit in at one time or another—whether they've lived in the area for days or years.【2】All of your experiences before you come to your new home are part of you and what makes you special.

The following tips may help you live in a new culture more easily and make sure the new culture doesn't overpower the old.

Teach people your culture. You're the one who meets the new culture, but it doesn't mean you should be the one doing all the learning. Take the opportunity to teach your classmates and new friends about your culture. 【3】Invite them for traditional dishes from your culture, or show them how you celebrate your holidays.

Find a support group. Find people in your class or neighborhood who have recently moved here, too. You can share experiences, cheer each other up when things get difficult.

Keep in touch with home. You probably left behind your good friends and family when you moved. If it's going to be a long time until your next visit, keep in touch.【4】You not only left behind people, but also other things, like your favorite spots to hang out. Keep pictures around to remind you of home.

Remember, the key to getting over your culture shock is to understand the new culture and find a way to live comfortably within it while keeping true to the parts of your own culture that you value.

It's also important to be yourself. Try not to force yourself to change too fast or too many things all at once.【5】As long as you find a good combination between old and new cultures, you'll be fine.

A. Making friends who aren't new to the culture may help you understand the new culture better.

B. But don't feel that you need to change everything about yourself so you can stand out less.

C. When you move to a new place, you're bound to face a lot of changes.

D. Write letters, send emails, and make phone calls so that you can learn about the things happening there.

E. You will have your own pace of adjusting.

F. But the good news is that culture shock is temporary.

G. It will also help them to learn more about you in the process.
