China’s worst drought in fifty years is doing harm to most of the country’s south. Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Anhui and Jiangsu provinces have suffered the most because of little rain.35 million people have been affected by the big thirst, according to China’s Ministry of Civil Affairs.4 million of them cannot get safe drinking water.
Dongting Lake in Hunan has now become smaller by two thirds. Gao Yibing, fisherman, said, “No eggs were produced, so there’s no young fish. We would not be able to fish anything in autumn and winter.”

Medecims Sans Frontieres, or Doctors Without Borders, is a group that helps people in need. In 1971,some French doctors and journalists formed MSF. In 1999,MSF won the Nobel Peace Prize.
Doctors of MSF go to different countries to help poor people for free. These people are sick and hurt. They do not have enough money, food or water. MSF work in more than 70 countries including Iraq and Sudan. There are wars, disasters or diseases in these countries.
MSF doctors treat these sick people and speak out for them. They try to tell the world about what they see in the poor countries. This makes the world pay more attention to these places.

APRIL 5 marks the 100th anniversary(周年紀(jì)念日)of the sinking(下沉)of the Titanic. In 1997, the movie Titanic was a huge hit all around the world. Now, the 3-D version of the movie will come to Chinese theaters on April 10.
As anyone who has seen the movie knows, the Titanic struck an iceberg(冰山) and sank on its first voyage in 1912, killing 1,517 people. A century after the accident, scientists have found something new to blame(負(fù)責(zé)任) for the sinking: the moon. Donald Olson, a Texas State University physicist, led a team of astronomers(天文學(xué)家) to examine the moon’s role, according to Reuters.
Normally, icebergs stay in place and cannot move until they melt enough or a high tide(潮汐) frees them. A single iceberg can become stuck many times on its journey southward. The process can take several years.
According to Olson, a hundred years ago the moon made its closest approach to the Earth in more than 1,400 years. This caused the moon to have a much stronger pull on the Earth’s oceans than usual, which created a super-high tide. The tide pushed icebergs from shallow waters off the coasts of Canada’s provinces, Newfoundland and Labrador, into the Titanic’s way.
“Of course, the final cause of the accident was that the ship struck an iceberg,” Olson told Reuters. “It went full speed into a region with icebergs, but the lunar connection(月亮的聯(lián)系) may explain how an unusually large number of icebergs got into the path of the Titanic.”
The research team will publish their research in the April issue of Sky & Telescope magazine.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，選最佳擇答案,并在答題卡上按要求作答。
小題1: How many people lost their lives in this accident?
A．Over 2,000 people.B．About 100 people.
C．More than 1,500 people.D．We don’t know.
小題2: The underlined word “voyage” in the second paragraph really means ______.
A．航行B．飛行C．劃船D．游泳
小題3: Which of the following about icebergs is TRUE?
A．Icebergs move only when the tide frees them.
B．An iceberg can stop for some time during its travel.
C．An iceberg will move as soon as its melts.
D．It takes an iceberg several months to leave its place.

It began with a red paper clip and ended with a house. Kyle MacDonald, a 26-year-old Canadian, got a three-bedroom house through 14 trades (交換) that started with a single red paper clip.
Encouraged by Kyle’s successful experience, now more and more young people around the world are starting their own trading activities. They set up websites where people can trade things they don’t usually use with other people. A website called Peerflix allows people to trade their used DVDs. These traders usually prefer face-to-face trading, which means they don’t have to worry about who is going to pay for the delivery (遞送).
Last year, a young girl in Beijing decided to follow the example of Kyle. She started with a paper clip and hoped to get a house in the end. After several trades she now has a piano which is more than 10,000 yuan. But she may still have a long way to go.
You may be puzzled about why people are doing this. In fact, everyone in the trade activities gets things that are useful to them. Just as Kyle said, “What’s more important to a man dying of thirst in the desert — one million dollars or a glass of water?” Kyle’s words probably show why these trades are poplar among young people.
4. Where can people trade things they do not usually use according to the passage?
A. On the Internet.    B. In Beijing.         C. In Canada.      D. In the desert.
5. Why are trading activities popular among young people?
A. Because they can make a lot of money by trading with other people.
B. Because the traders can get things that are useful to them.
C. Because young people love trading activities.
D. Because many young people want to get a house.
6. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. If you begin with a paper clip, you will finally get a house by trading.
B. A young girl in Beijing got a house through trading.
C. A glass of water is more important than one million dollars.
D. Many traders like face-to-face trading because they don’t have to pay for the delivery.

A big earthquake happened in Japan in March, and it caused tsunami(海嘯).Thousands of people died and millions of Japanese lost their homes.

Many earthquakes happen in China, too. Arc you ready for the next earthquake? We havesome advice for you on how to keep safe in an earthquake.
When the earthquake happens, protect yourself first. The life is the most important becausewhere there is a life, there is hope. Don’t go back to get your money or other things.
If you are at home, hide under a desk. Stay away from windows because anythingmay fall on you.
If you are outdoors, try to move away from buildings and streetlights. They may fall on you. If you are in a shop and far from the door, don’t run outside.   Everyone will run outside so that people may hurt each other. Hide under a desk. Don’t get into a lift during an earthquake.
If you are in a moving car, drive to the side of the road, stop as quickly as possible, and stay in the car. Do not try to drive across bridges. It’s dangerous.
When an earthquake has ended, be careful because aftershocks(余震) may still happen. They are just as dangerous as the earthquakes, so stay under the desk until you think it is really safe for getting out.
Make sure you wear shoes after an earthquake. There may be broken glass on the ground.
Remember, these tips are very important. We should always hope for the best but prepare for the worst.
