Imagine one day, the water taps (水龙头) in your house stop running.You
have to buy water from shops.And still there isn’t enough for everyone.Your
mother has to save the family’s shower water to do other things.Would you
be able to stand that kind of life?
Probably not.But that’s what kids in Yemen are experiencing.Experts said
Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of
water.According to a report, the capital, Sana’a, will run out of drinking water
in as early as 2025.
Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply(供
应).Hannan, an 18⁃ year⁃ old girl from Lahej, told Times, “In a good week
we’ll have a water supply all week.But then the following week there will be
water only for a day or two.”
Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use.They can buy
water from the shops or from the water trucks.Private companies own the
trucks.They travel around the city every day to sell water—at very high
prices.“A lot of people can’t afford it,” she said.
The average(平均) person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic(立方) meters of
water per year.That is far below the international water poverty(贫困) line of
1,000 cubic meters.
The government is thinking of making use of seawater.But it will cost a
lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.
( )6. is the name of the capital city of Yemen.

A.enough drinking water to use

D.more water pollution
B
A
( )8.The underlined word “shortage” in the third paragraph means
in Chinese.
A.充足 B.短缺
C.干旱 D.需求
B
( )9.We can infer(推断) from the passage that .
A.the poor don’t have to worry about the water supply
B.the 18⁃ year⁃ old girl is from a poor family
C.private companies make little money
D.Lahej is a beautiful place
B
( )10.Which of the following do you think is the best title for this passage?
A.How to Save Water
