B.Advanced.C.Cost-effective. D.Eco-harmful.答案A解析推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Unfortunately,thecostofwater...increasepumpingcostsatleasttenfold...uncompetitiveonthenationalandinternationalmarkets.”可知,作者认为,通过任何一种计划获得水资源都会使得抽水成本提高至少十倍,进而导致这一地区的农产品成本上升,失去竞争力。故可推知,作者认为这些供水计划不切实际。DFromtimetotime,lifecanbeunbelievablydifficult.Wearefacedwithchallengesandeventsthatcanseemoverwhelming(势不可挡的),life-destroyingtothepointwhereitmaybehardtodecidewhethertokeepgoing.Butyoualwayshaveachoice.JessicaHeslopsharesherpowerful,inspiringjourneyfromtheworsttimesinherlifetothenewlifeshehascreatedforherself:IworkedinafinancejobthatIhatedandIlivedinaconcretejunglecitywithlittlegreencolor.Ioccupiedmytimewithmeaninglessrelationshipsandspentlargequantitiesofmoneyonsomethingworthless.Iwassearchingforhappinessandhadnoideawheretofindit.ThenIfellillwithChronicFatigueSyndrome(慢性疲劳综合征)andbecameactuallydifficulttogetupfrombed.Ihadtoquitmyjobandthenwasleftwithnoincome.Ilivedwithmyboyfriendofthenonly3monthswhofinanciallysupportedmeandourrelationshipwasputundergreatpressure.Ieventuallyregainedmyphysicalhealth,butnotlongafterthatIgotacallfrommyfamilyathometosaythatmyfather’scancerhadfiercelyprogressedandthathehadbeenadmittedtohospital.IleftthecityandIwenthometobewithhim.Hediedsixmonthslater.Myfatherwasacompleteinspirationtome.Hewasalwayssostrongthat,foraminuteafterhedrewhislastbreath,Ihonestlythoughthewouldcomebacktolife.Icouldn’tbelieveIwouldneveragainbeagainsthisbigwarmchestandfeelsafenomatterwhat.Thedeepsorrowthatfollowedwasstrongforallofus5childrenandourmother,butwehadeachother.Butmyeldestsisteratthattimecomplainedofabadback.Itgotsobadafter2monthsthatshetoowasadmittedtohospital.Theydiscoveredthatshehadhighlyadvancedcancerinherbonesandthattherewasnothingthattheycoulddo.Shediedonemonthlater.Icouldneverputintowordsthelossofmysisterinmylife.Shewasawalking,talkingangelandmyfavouritepersoninthewholeworld.Ifsomeonecouldhaveaskedmetheworstthingthatcouldeverhappen,itwouldhavebeenlosingher.ShewasmysoulmateandIneverthoughtIwouldjourneythislifetimewithouther.Theshockandextremeheartbreakbroughtmetomyknees.Thepainwassogreatandmyworldjustlookeddesolate.Ihadnorealhome,nomoney,nojob,andnofriendsthatcared.Notonepersonhadevensentmeasympathycardformyloss.ImadeanattemptofmyownlifeandIendedupinhospital.Irememberlyinginthehospitalbed,lookingupattheceilingandseeingmysister’sbeautifulface.Shestayedwithmeallnightlong.IrealizedduringthatnightthatIhadachoice.IcouldchoosetoendmylifeorIcouldchoosetoliveit.Ilookedinmysister’seyesandImadeadecisionnottogowithherjustyet.Iwouldstayandcompletemyjourneyhere.IalsomadethedecisionthatIwouldn’tjustliveanylife.IwouldlivethelifethatIabsolutelyloveandnothingless.Atthatmoment,theideawassoclearthatitwaslikealightshininginadarkroomforthefirsttime.Asiftheearth’splateshadchangedundermyfeetandeverythingsuddenlylookedrealforthefirsttime.语篇解读JessicaHeslop的生活和工作一直不顺心,甚至可以说糟糕至极。之后,两位亲人的相继离世险些将她的精神击垮。最终,她鼓起勇气为自己的生活做出了选择。45.Whatdoesthefirstparagraphexpress?A.HowdifficultJessica’slifewas.B.Everyonehasachoiceinhislife.C.WhatJessicalearnedfromlife.D.Weshouldbebravetofaceourlife.答案C解析46.WhatlifedidJessicaHeslopliveinthecity?A.Busyandrelaxing.
