Passage Four

It seems strange that while three-quarters of the world's surface is covered with water,getting an adequate(足够的）supply of it that's fresh,clean,and safe to use for drinking,cooking and washing, is one of the most important problems that faces humanity.Most of the earth's water is salt water in the oceans,only three percent is fresh and only a small part of that is possible. It may be trapped deep underground, and anyway unequally exist around the globe,so droughts and floods happen now and then. Of the remaining fresh water, much is polluted and dangerous to use.

A large part of UNICEF's(联合国儿童基金会）work is bringing safe water to people and educating them in basic health care.Some diseases spread by polluted water are the most common causes of death and illness in children under five in the developing world.

Although water gives life,it can also carry some kinds of disease-a leading cause of blindness among children,Mosquitoes,and flies that live near in water bring yellow fever, malaria(疟疾）and sleeping sickness, so good piped water supplies are needed to reduce the need for people to gather in such an area.

In the country,women and children spend a major part of their time going out to collect water,often walking many miles each day to provide just the limited family needs for cooking, washing and drinking . And they can't carry much while walking over rough fields bearing a

heavy bucket(桶）。

    Because children have to play their part in family life,and that includes getting water,they may be unable to go to school,or be so tired when they get there that they have difficulty learning.They may even have to spend the whole day without a drink as there may not be any

clean water there,either.

    Last year,UNICEF aimed to get almost 90000 water systems set up, to benefit 20 million people, working where it is most badly needed, often just to ensure keeping alive. A well may mean the difference between life and death:

76.what is the main reason for the lack of fresh water?

A.Most of the water is polluted

B.Most of the water is in the send

C.Most of the water is hard to get

D. Most of the water is in the land

77. what percentage of fresh water is drinkable on the earth?

A.more than3%

B.less than3%

C.more than97%

D.less than97%

78.What is the leading cause of blindness among children?

A. Flies B. Mosquitoes C.Piped water D.Polluted water 

79. The purpose of this passage is to ()

 A.inform the reader

B.comfort the reader

C.persuade the reader

D.frighten the reader

80.what can be inferred from the last paragraph ?

A water can spread disease

B water has nothing to do with children' illness

c some children have to lead a hard life

D children spend most of their time collecting water

|||. Translation( 20 points)

Directions: In this part, there is a short passage in English. Read it carefully and put it into Chinese.

Great changes have been made in family life because of science and technology. In the past, when more people lived in the countryside, the typical family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Often, too, uncles and aunts lived nearby....... industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land to move again whoever necessary and large families cannot move easily from place to place as smaller families can ,so ,at present people tend to have smaller families
