Large numbers of insects arebreeding(繁殖) in the polluted waterway. Officials say the insects land on the Taj Mahal and leave poop on its white stone walls. The insects waste is beginning to turn the walls green.Workers first discovered the problem last year. Aflyknown as thegenusGeoldichironomus is the reason for all the waste on the wall. Workers try to remove that, but experts fear heavy cleaning could damage the artwork from the wall in the Taj Mahal.Environmentalist D.K. Joshi says the way to stop this new threat is to save the dying river. “Industrial waste, solid waste, all this pours into the river. Millions of dollars have been spent to clean the river, but nothing has happened,” he added. Whats more, ashes (骨灰) from burnt human remains are part of the problem. For 200 years, people have set fire to dead bodies near the Taj Mahal. Ash from the funeral (葬礼的) ceremonies is the main source of food for the insects.Vikram also worries about the large amount of tourism. “So much is the amount of dirt that it creates; these are the problems of tourism. The tourists, they like to touch the surfaces. For that we are trying to provide some kind of separators”.We do believe cleaning the Yamuna River is possible with a short-term program. “Stop the waste from going into the river, improve its flow. It is not difficult,” Vikram said. He hopes this latest threat to the Taj Mahal from insects will get the attention of city officials. He hopes it will get them to clean the river.（1）Whats the new threat to the Tji Mahal? A . The Yamuna River is very dirty.B . Some white stones walls turn green.C . Many insects live in Tji Mahal and The Yamuna River.D . The insects leave poop on the stones.（2）What “that” in the 3rd paragraph refers to? A . The workers.B . The waste.C . The wall.D . The fly.（3）Which is not a helpful solution to this problem? A . cut down the waste that poured into the river.B . makes the flow of the river improved.C . Ask more workers to remove the waste of the Taj Mahal.D . Reduce the burning of the human bodies（4）What does Joshi suggest? A . City officials should ignore the insects.B . Workers should help clean the Taj Mahal.C . Fires should be set to kill some insects.D . People should give up the tradition of burning the dead.5. （8分）阅读理解So, lets imagine you are walking down the street drinking a box of tea. You finish drinking the tea. Now, what do you do with the box? Do you drop it on the ground? Or, do you do the right thing and drop it in a trash can? Hopefully, you drop it in the trash can because, besides harming the environment, littering is also very impolite.Recently, a magazine published a list of the most polite cities in the world. They looked three things: did people litter, did shop clerks say thank you and did people hold the door open for the person behind them? The top three politest cities were New York, USA, Zurich, Switzerland, and Toronto, Canada. Hong Kong, China was number 35. Shanghai wasnt even on the list.Does that mean that Shanghai is not apolite city? Well, maybe. There are different ways to judge(判断) politeness but the survey was looking at how a visitor to a city would feel when walking around its public places. Visitors dont like to step over empty tea boxes as they walk down the street. They dont like it when they buy something and the shop clerk doesnt say thank you or even give them a smile. They also dont like it when someone lets a door slam(砰然关上) into them instead of holding it open.Shanghai is a nice city but it is not always the most polite city. I dont think this is intentional(有意的). I think its just a lack of awareness(缺乏意识). China is becoming a popular place for tourists to visit. When they come to Shanghai they will find a friendly city: it would be nice if they also found apolite one. And, remember, being polite makes you feel good, too. Its nice to be nice.（1）The following cities EXCEPT _ are on the list of the most polite cities in the world.A . ShanghaiB . TorontoC . New YorkD . Zurich（2）How many cities are mentioned in this passage?A . Four.B . Five.C . Six.D . Seven.（3）Why is Shanghai not always the most polite city in the survey?A . Because people there dont realize the importance of politeness.B . Because people there are not friendly enoughC . Because the food there is not delicious.D . Because the city is too old.（4）In the survey, it is looked to be impolite _.A . to give visitors a smileB . to drop tea boxes into the trash canC . to say thank you to visitorsD . to hold the door closed for visitors（5）The writer mainly wants to tell us _.A . not to drink tea in the streetB . to hold the door open for anybodyC . to remember to be polite in public placesD . to travel to the most polite cities more often三、 选词填空（词汇运用） (共1题；共5分)6. （5分）用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空。 though care clear loud（1）Sorry, I cant hear her clearly.

Around 132 years later in January, the bottle was found on the Australian coast_The bottle was thrown into the water to track ocean currents (洋流). Between 1864 and 1933, German sailors threw thousands of bottles into the sea._But throwing messages in bottles into the ocean is not just for scientists.
