Every country is trying to find ways to turn salt water into fresh. Why arent there many factories like the Symi factory?In some places the sun is not hot enough. Or it does not shine every day.In such places other ways of heating sea water can be used. These ways cost more money, but they work faster than the sun. By boiling sea water with high heat a lot of fresh water can be made quickly.But heating is not the only way to get fresh water from salt water. Other ways are tried.One way is freezing. The fresh part of salt water freezes first. To get fresh water, the bits of ice are taken out.Which way is the best? The one that gives the most water for the least money. It may be a different way for each place.Symis way seems very good for small, hot places. It does not make much water at a time. But the factory is easy to build and costs little. That is why people in many dry places talk about Symi.（1）From the passage we know that fresh water _.A . is needed in many countriesB . is needed in every countryC . can be used in many waysD . is very important for factories（2）The Symi factory _.A . turns salt water into freshB . can be built everywhereC . can make much fresh water at a timeD . doesnt need sunshine every day（3）Which is the best way for small and hot places to get fresh water?A . Boiling the sea water.B . Heating the sea water.C . The Symis way.D . Freezing the sea water.（4）What fact doesnt the passage mention (提到)?A . New ways of getting fresh water.B . A lot of fresh water can be made quickly by heating.C . The best way is to get the freshest water with the least money.D . The Symis way doesnt work in dry places.（5）The Symis way is not suitable for _ places according to the passage.A . smallB . hotC . coolD . dry13. （8分） Many strong and out-of-control emotions are recognized as an illness. People who are always very sad have depression (抑郁症); those who worry a lot have anxiety.But what about anger problems? Anger is largely viewed as a secondary emotion one caused by other emotions. People are thought to be angry because they are sad, anxious or stressed. In the past, many doctors didnt accept the idea that anger could be a problem all on its own.Today, though, a growing number of mental health experts think that anger is a serious problem that needs its own treatment.How to tell the difference between normal anger and anger problem is difficult. After all, everyone gets really mad from time to time. Experts point out a few ways.Disordered anger, as it is sometimes called, tends to be of greater intensity (强度). It takes very little to set off a person with an anger problem, and their responses (反应) are very strong. An example: While most people would get upset if a driver cut them off, someone with disordered anger might try to chase down the car and force it off the road.And in cases of disordered anger, the person gets angry more frequently and his/her anger lasts longer. For most people, angry feelings disappear quickly. But people with anger problems often stay angry for days, weeks or even years; their feelings of anger dont disappear over time.Consequences are also important to consider: Disordered anger often damages peoples lives. “It interferes (干扰) with peoples relationships and their jobs,”says Raymond Chip Tafrate, a US psychologist. “Even their health is affected.”Anger clearly increases the risk of certain health problems, as many studies have shown. “When a person is angry, their heart beats faster and their blood pressure goes up,”says Howard Kassinove, a professor at Hofstra University in New York. Over time, these changes take their toll on the body, he adds.Experts suggest that people with an anger problem take anger-management programs. The programs teach people to control their responses to stressful situations through the use of relaxation techniques. The programs sometimes include life-skills training as well: increasing someones level of competence (竞争) whether on the job or as a parent or partner helps bring down stress and cut angry feelings.（1）A person who _ most possibly has disordered anger in the experts opinion?A . cant get out of anger quicklyB . is dissatisfied with relationshipsC . has high blood pressureD . is worried about his job（2）What does the underlined word Consequences mean?A . Responses.B . Effects.C . Reasons.D . Feelings.（3）Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A . Anger is an secondary emotion that makes people sad and stressed.B . Anger was recognized as an illness by most doctors in the past.C . A person with an anger problem gets angry more often and easily.D . The use of relaxation techniques is the best way to manage anger.（4）What is the best title of the passage?A . Can anger be an illness?B . Is it disordered anger?C . Can anger influence our life?D . Is anger management important?14. （8分）根据短文内容的理解，选择正确答案。A lot of boys and girls in western countries are wearing the same kind of clothes, and many of them have long hair, so it is often difficult to tell whether they are boys or girls.One day an old man went for a walk in a park in Washington and when he was tired, he sat down on a chair by a swimming pool.
