2019中考（人新）英语八下U8阅读练习及答案

一、阅读理解。

A

Imagine one day, the water taps(水龙头) in your hou 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?

first country in the world to run out of water. According to a report, the capital, Sana, will run out of

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 u. 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 ll

water—at very high prices. “A lot of people can’t afford it,” she said.

The average (平均) person in Yemen us 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 u of awater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen

soon enough to help the people of Yemen.

告，也门的首都萨那到2025年的时候，就将没有饮用水了。也门政府也正在想办法解决这个

问题。

1．A细节理解题。短文第二段中提到了Yemen这个国家，然后根据According to a report, the

capital, Sana, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.可知，Yemen的首都是Sana，因此选

A。

drinking water as early as 2025.的这句话可知，根据一项报告，也门的首都萨那将在2025年用

4．C 细节理解题。根据短文第四段中Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the

city every day to ll water—at very high prices可知，私人公司拥有卡车，他们可以到城市的各

处去卖水，并且是以很高的价格。由此可见，私人公司可以赚很多钱，故选C。

5．D主旨大意题。这篇短文给我们讲述了现在水资源的缺乏，尤其提到了也门这个国家，根

据一项报告，也门的首都萨那到2025年的时候，就将没有饮用水了。也门政府也正在想办法
