Globalwarmingismakingthingsworse.【答案】DCBAE【解析】试题分析:每年的3月20日是世界水日。根据美国的一个报道,世界上有一半多的主要河流严重缺水或被污染。造成这一现象主要是由于筑坝和全球变暖导致河流干涸。18. 句意:但是现在它有个非常严重的问题。根据前文讲到黄河是第五大河流,灌溉着些最古老的土地,后面却提到黄河源头的青藏高原正在干涸,过去35年里的大部分时候都没有流入海里,可知这里需要-个表转折的过渡句,D项最合适。19. 句意:过去的水流量是320亿立方米。根据后面一句NowitisdowntoZbillioninorso可知,C项的44Itusedtocarry.”形成对比。20. 句意:它是如何发生的呢?前文提到世界各大河流出现的问题,下文乂根究出现这些问题的原因,因此这里承上启下式地提出“为什么会出现以上这些现象?的话题,B项最合适。21. 句意:大坝为田地提供灌溉水源,还可以用来发电。此空前后讲述水坝(dam)的的作用,因此选A合适。22. 句意:全球变暖使小情变得更糟。后面是讲述全球变暖所带来的影响,所以该句是提出“全球变暖(Globalwanning)”这一现象。答案为E。三、短文填空1UnusualFestivalsEverycountryhashisownfestivalstocelebratedifferentthings.Somefestivalsaremoreinteresting(hanothersbecausetheyreunusualandalotmorefun!Herearejustafewunusualfestivalsaroundtheworld.Holi,thefestivalofcolours,takesplaceeveryyearinIndia,Nepal,andotherpartsoftheworld.Holicelebratesthee25.ofwinterandthearrivalofspring.Itsalsoacelebrationofgoodoverevil.Duringthefestival,peoplethrowcolouredpowder(粉末)andwaterateachother.Storesandofficesclose,andthestreetsfillwithe26.crowds.Itsoneofthemostcolourfulfestivalsintheworld.Theonlycolourduringanotherfamousfestivalisred.4tLaToniatina,takesplaceinBunol,Spain,inAugust.Peopleconicfromallovertheworldforabigfoodf27.LaTomatina,yousee,isthefestivalofthrowingtomatoes!Alloverthecountry,peoplerunthroughthestreetsthrowingredtomatoesateachother.Thestreetsgetverymessy,buteveryonehasagoodtime.A28.strangeandcoldfestivaltakesplaceeveryMayorJuneinPeru.Peoplecelebratewithmusicanddanceontopofaglacier!Thefestival129.forthreedays,andpeoplewalkoutcarryingtorches(火把)tofinishthefestival.Finally,howaboutafestivalwithanimals?OnthelastweekendinNovember,peopleinLopbur,Thailand,i3().someunusualgueststodinnerattheMonkeyBuffetFestival.Hundredsofmonkeyscometothebuffet,wheretheyfeast(享受)onfruil,nutsandvegetables.Itsagreattouristattraction,andpeoplefromallovertheworldtowatchit.Unusualornot,festivalshaveonethingincommonallovertheworld.Theybringpeoplet31.andtheygivethemareasontocelebrateandhavefun.【答案】end23. excitedfight24.
