In Yunnan, Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou and Chongqing, there has been very little rain since last autumn. Crops died, the land cracked, and wells (井) and rivers dried up. More than 20 million people are having difficulty finding safe drinking water.After learning about the drought, many people around the country helped by giving water, money and other resources.Last week, China asked every member of the Communist Youth League (团员) and Young Pioneers (少先队员) to give one bottle of water to the drought-hit area. Students in primary schools and middle schools quickly joined the activity.“A bottle of water isnt much, but thousands of bottles will be of great use,”said Zhang Zihao, a middle school student at Tongling No 1 Middle School in Anhui.In Yuhua Primary School in Xian, 900 students bought over 100 bottles of water with their pocket money. They also wrote their wishes on the bottles.The serious drought has also made students realize the importance of saving water.Students from Nanshan Middle School in Huizhou in Guangdong went on the street to tell people to take part in water-saving activities.“I heard that some children in drought-hit areas dont have enough drinking water. They have to drink muddy (泥泞的) water. I feel really sad about that,” said one student. “I decided to take a shower twice a week instead of every day to save water.” he said. （1）Why did a serious drought happen in Southwest China?（2）What does the underlined（划线的）word “cracked” probably mean in Chinese?（3）What did people do after learning about the drought?（4）Is a bottle of water helpful for the people in drought-hit areas?（5）What can you learn from the passage?三、 词汇运用。 (共3题；共7分)5. （1分）Prices are r_ fast nowadays. 100 yuan cant go a long way.6. （5分）根据所给的中文提示，写出空白处各单词的正确形式。每空限填一词。（1）In _ (前面) of my house is a big bus station.（2）My _ (祖父母) go to the shop every morning.（3）My mother is the _ (经理) of a hotel.（4）Today is _ (星期六) and it is very cool.（5）This Sunday is my friend Linglings _ (生日).7. （1分）The first emperor, Qin Shihuang, _(stretched/ joined) all the small walls together to make the Great Wall. 四、 语法填空。 (共1题；共1分)8. （1分）The club organizes short trips to the mountains ,_, museums and so on .（beach） 五、 任务型阅读。 (共1题；共5分)9. （5分）左栏是五个人关于演讲的问题，右栏是七个关于演讲的建议。请将这五个人与对应的建议配对_I dont think I can talk fluently because its difficult for me to remember all the words._When I come face to face with the audience, where should my eyes fall upon?
