　　Imagine being told not to drink，shower，or brush your teeth with tap water.That's what happened to people of Toledo，Ohio，and parts of Michigan after tap water coming from Lake Erie was found to be unsafe.Hundreds of thousands of people were affected.

　　As a temporary solution，bottled water was trucked into the area and the Ohio National Guard was purifying(净化) water for people.But by Monday morning，the ban had been removed.“Our water is safe，” said Toledo mayor D．Michael Collins.“Families can return to normal life.”To reassure people，he took a sip from a glass of the city's tap water.

　　Toledo is Ohio's fourth largest city.News about the water ban came after tests at one water－treatment plant showed high levels of the toxin microcystin(微囊藻毒素)．Algae(藻类) caused the toxin.Following the warning，Ohio Governor John Kasich declared a state of emergency.Drinking the contaminated water could cause vomiting，cramps，and rashes(呕吐、腹部绞痛和疹)．

　　To try to solve the problem，city officials added carbon and chlorine(氯) to the water.Test results on Sunday showed that the toxins had probably reached a safe level，but Mayor Collins said two tests had come back “too close for comfort”．It wasn't until Monday that the mayor announced that six new water samples had come back clean and safe to drink.

　　Tap water accounts for two－thirds of the drinking water consumed in homes across the US.Officials test the quality of the water to make sure it is healthy for people to drink.During the emergency in Ohio and Michigan，officials began to talk about how to stop pollutants from polluting Lake Erie.The lake supplies drinking water to 11 million people and the toxins that polluted the region's drinking water didn't just suddenly appear.

　　Toledo mayor D．Michael Collins said that，going forward，scientists and political leaders need to come together and figure out how to solve the algae problem in Lake Erie.

　　6．D.Michael Collins drank the city's tap water just to ________．

　　A．compare it with purified water

　　B．show it was dangerous to drink

　　C．act as a temporary solution

　　D．show it was safe to drink

　　答案　D　[推理判断题。根据第二段“‘Families can return to normal life.’To reassure people，he took a sip from a glass of the city's tap water.”可推知，柯林斯市长之所以喝自来水，是为了证明自来水已经可以安全饮用，以此来打消人们的顾虑。]

　　7．What does the underlined word “contaminated” in Paragraph 3 mean?

　　A．Polluted.

　　B．Clean.

　　C．Dirty.

　　D．Improved.

　　答案　A　[词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“News about the water ban came after tests at one water－treatment plant showed high levels of the toxin microcystin.”可知，禁水令开始于一水处理厂的测试显示水中超标的微囊藻毒素。再根据画线词下文“cause vomiting，cramps，and rashes”可知

　　8．What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?

　　A．The tests on adding chlorine to the water.

　　B．The measures the city officials took.

　　29．who　[考查定语从句。those做先行词指代人时，只能用who。]

　　30．a　[考查冠词。根据空格前的代词“it”可知，空格后的名词“headache”在句中表示一件令人头痛的事，为抽象名词具体化现象，因此应用不定冠词修饰。故空格处填a。]

　　31．dividing　[考查非谓语动词。当consider作“考虑”讲时，后面通常跟动名词作其宾语，由此可知，空格处应使用提示词的动名词形式。故空dividing。]

　　32．but　[考查并列连词。空格前后两句话之间是转折关系，根据语境可知，but符合语境。故空格处填but。]

　　33．what　[考查疑问代词。题干为特殊疑问句，且疑问词作“do”的宾语，由此结合下文语境可知，此处指的是“我接下来应该做什么？”，因此what符合语境。故空格处填what。]

　　34．them　[考查代词。空格前的动词“buy”是buy的用法：buy sb sth并结合语境可知，空格处应填代词且该代词作动词“buy”的宾语并指代前面的“the friends”。故空格处填them。]

　　35．on　[考查介词。空格后的名词“diet”是关键词，该词常与介词on搭配，构成固定短语on a diet，意为“节食”。故空格处填on。]

　　36．healthy　[考查形容词。空格前的动词“keep”是系动词，其后跟形容词作表语，由此可知，空healthy。]

　　37．importantly　[考查副词。空格处在句中作状语，作为评注性的状语修饰谓语动词或全句时，只能用副词，由此可知，空格处应使用提示词的副词形式。故空格处填importantly。]

　　38．have helped　[考查动词的时态。空格处在句中作谓语，结合上下文语境可知，此处表示过去发生或已经完成的动作对现在造成的影响或结果，由此可知，空have helped。]
