“If these rivers die，millions will lose their livelihoods，biodiversity（生物多样性）will be destroyed on a massive scale，there will be less fresh water and agriculture，resulting in less food security，”said．Rayi Singh，secretary—general of WWF—India．The report。launched ahead of“World Water Day”today，also cited the Rio Grande in．the United States，the Mekong and Indus in Asia，Europe’s Danube, La Plata in South America and Australia’s Murray—Darling as in need of greater protection．
Rivers are the world’s main source of fresh water and WWF says about half of the available supply is already being used up．Dams have destroyed habitats and cut rivers off from their flood plains．while climate change could affect the seasonal water flows that feed them，the report said．Fish populations，the top source of protein and overall life support for hundreds of thousands of communities worldwide，are also being threatened, it found．．The Yangtze basin is one of the most polluted rivers in the world because of decades of heavy industrialization，damming and huge influxes（流入）of seaiment（积淀）from land conversion．

In older people with mild cognitive（认知）impairment（损害），having a drink now and then——up to an average of one drink of alcohol each day——may delay progression to dementia（痴呆症），．new research suggests．
“While many studies have assessed（评价）alcohol consumption and cognitive function in the elderly，this is the first study to look at how alcohol consumption affects the rate of progression of mild cognitive impairment to dementia，”study authors Dr．Solfrizzi and Dr．Panza，from the University of Bari in Italy，said in a statement．
In the study，reported in the medical journal Neurology，the researchers assessed the occurrence of mild cognitive impairment in 1,445 subjects and progression to dementia in 121 patients with mild cognitive impairment'．
The participants were between 65 and 84 years of age at the start of study，and they were followed for 3．5 years．Alcohol use was assessed before the survey．
Drinking was not associated with the development of mild cognitive impairment，according to the report．However，once mild impairment occurred．Subjects who had one drink per day of alcohol had an 85 percent reduced risk of dementia compared with those who didn’t drink．
The benefit was seen with both alcohol in general and with wine in particular．
Having more than one drink a day，however，offered no protection against dementia compared with abstaining（戒绝），the report indicates．

The round-the-clock（24小时不断的）availability that cell phone have brought to people’s lives may be taking a toll on family life，a new study suggests．The study，which followed more than 1，300 adults over 2 years, found that those who consistently used a mobile phone throughout the study period were more likely to report negative “spillover’’ between work and home life—and，in turn, less satisfaction with their family life．
Spillover essentially（本质上）means that the line between work and home begins to become unclear．Work life may invade home life when a．parent is taking job—related calIs at home，for instance--or family issues may start to take up work time．For example，a child may call mom at work，telling her "microwave exploded” explained Noelle Chesley，an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee and the author of the study．The problem with cell phones seems to be that they are allowing for ever more spillover between work and home． ‘
This may be especially true for working women，the study found．Among men，consistent use of mobile phones seemed to allow more work issues to creep （潜入）into family time．But for women，the spillover tended to go in both directions being “connected” meant that work cut into home time，and family issues came：into work life．
Cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful exchanges among family members．But there may be ways to control the spillover，according to Chesley．Empoyers, she said，could look at their policies on contacting employees after hours to make sure their expectations are “reasonable”．For their part，employees could decide that cell phones go off during family time, Chesley said．
68．What does the underlined phrase “taking a toll on’’probably mean in Paragraph 1?
A．Explaining． B．Protecting． C．Extending D．Damaging．
69．What is the purpose of offering the example “microwave exploded” in Paragraph 2?
A．To show the microwave is of poor quality．
B．To indicate how dependent the child is．
C．To indicate family issues affect work hours．
D．To show work time creeps into family life
70．As a result of negative“spillover”，people will feel _____．
A．1ess satisfied with their family life． B．1ess satisfied with their work．
C．angry with their troublesome children D．unwilling to get married at an early age．
71．According to Chesley，what is the best solution to the problem caused by cellphones?
A．Refuse to use cell phones． B．Separate work hours from family time．
C．Ignore coming calls during family time． D．Encourage women to stay at home．
72．We can learn from the passage that
A．spillover makes the line between work and home unclear
B．cell phones seem to be convenient to families
C．cell phones affect men as much as women
D．we can do nothing to solve the problem
第二节 简答题（共3小题；每小题2分，满分6分）
阅读下面短文，根据第73至第75小题的具体要求，简要回答问题。
When parents use sarcasm（讽刺）to make jokes with their young children，do the kids comprehend the humor? Not likely，according to a Canadian researcher who has completed a study showing that children need：to be 10 or older before fully getting the idea that Sarcasm can be funny or even rude．“The results offer good advice for everything from the content of children’s television programming to understanding rude behaviors,” University of Calgary psychologist Penny Pexman said．“Our study suggests that the 5-year--olds are beginning to understand the simplest form of sarcasm and are getting better at it，but still by the age of eight they really don’t find it funny．So there is disconnection there,” said Pexman，who has been studying sarcasm for the past six years．“They can see that the person means the opposite of what they are saying，but they don’t find it humorous．”
In addition，children under the age of 10 almost always took a sarcastic remark as a serious one，even when it was intended to be humorous．It is still not completely clear what determines how children understand sarcasm，but Pexman said factors could include the amount used at home，their social environment and the types of television shows they watch．
In fact，adults write kids’ television programs but much of the humor may be lost on the intended audience，she said．
73．Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word “comprehend”．
74．According to the study, who can fully get the idea of sarcasm?（回答词数不超过8个）
75．What is the main idea of the passage? （回答词数不超过8个）

The World Bank，the United Nations and the London School Of Hygiene and Tropica1 Medicine did a study to urge hand—washing around the world．They found that one million lives could be saved each year if people washed their hands with soap often．They said that programs to increase hand—washing with soap could be among the most effective ways to reduce infectious disease．
Doctors say，many diseases can be prevented from spreading by hand—washing．These include pinworms（寄生虫），influenza（流行性感冒），the common cold，hepatitis（肝炎）A，meningitis（脑膜炎）and infectious diarrhea．（腹泻）
Hand--washing destroys germs from other people，animals or objects a person has touched．When people get bacteria on their hands，they can infect themselves by touching their eyes，nose or mouth．Then these people can infect other people．
The experts say the easiest way to catch a cold is to touch your nose or eyes after someone nearby has sneezed or coughed．Another way to become sick is to eat food prepared by someone whose hands were not clean．
The experts say that hand--washing is especially important before and after preparing food，before eating and after using the toilet．People should wash their hands after handling animals or animal waste，and after cleaning a baby．The experts say it is also a good idea to wash your hands after handling money and after sneezing or coughing．And it is important to wash your hands often when someone in your home is sick．The experts say the most effective way to wash your hands is to rub them together while using soap and warm water．They say you do not have to use special antibacterial soap．Be sure to rub all areas of the hands for about ten to fifteen seconds．The rubbing action helps remove germs．Then rinse（冲洗）the hands with water and dry them．
