43. Which of the following can replace the underlined word

Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go to work or school every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening. One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one's own.

Then, in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends. On summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one's free time digging, planting, watering and doing a lot of things that are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one enjoys the reward of his hard work.

Some people, however, take no interest in country things; for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinema and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that

their life was not worth living if they had to live outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and two weeks' visit to the seaside every summer is all the country life they want. The rest they will leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.

44.Some people prefer to live in the country because_________. A. they cannot afford to rent a flat in London B. they can make more money in the country C. they enjoy driving their own cars to work D. they can get close to nature and live a cheaper life 45. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text? A. Living in the country can avoid the noise and hurry of the city. B. Digging and planting in a country garden is really enjoyable. C. It is cheaper to buy a house with a garden in the country. D. It is easier to know people and make friends in the country.

46. People who think happiness lies in the town would prefer to_________. A. live in the country B. plant in their garden

C. live a life of pleasure D. go to bed early in the evening

Water shortage in China is expected to reach the highest point in 2030, when the country, with the population coming to about 1.6 billion, would have a share of water resource of 1,760 cubic meters per person, according to the Ministry of Construction.

This will make China one of the countries in the world suffering a medium-level shortage of water resource according to the standard of the United Nations, said Vice Minister Qiu Baoxing here Tuesday.

In general, China's current water resource is very low, 2,200 cubic meters per person on average, and the country supports 21 percent of the world’s population with 7 percent of the world's water resource, Qiu said. The distribution (分布) of water resource in China is not balanced. The northern part of the country, with six percent of the country's total water resource, supports one third of the population.

The water resource per person of Tianjin, in north China, is only one 10,000th of that of Tibet.

The growing water pollution adds difficulties to water supply in China, according to the official. In China, 200 billion tons of waste water flow into rivers every year, causing pollution of different degrees to 90 percent of rivers in the country.

The official also warned the danger of too much exploitation (开发) of underground water, which causes the land in many cities to sink down. Qiu, taking Beijing as an example, said that the capital city has sunk down nearly one meter since the early 1950s.

61. How much will each person have of the water resources in 2030 in China?

____________________________________________________________________________ 62. How is the distribution of water resource in China?

____________________________________________________________________________ 63. What has made the water supply in China become even more difficult?
