　　(2024·威海高考模擬)

　　Behind the traffic noise and modern-day confusion on Stoney Creek Road in Bexley lies a small but amazing piece of history.Just a century ago，Mr Harold Chapman Snr.founded Sydney’s Famous Original Doll Hospital and，although the Hospital has relocated several times，you cannot help but get a sense of days gone by when you walk through the doors.

　　In 1913 Sydney’s first Doll Hospital was opened in Beamish Street.Campsie by Mr Harold Chapman Snr as part of his General Store，all beginning from a simple shipping accident.Harold’s brother was in the business of importing dolls from Japan and during the shipping process the rubber bands holding the dolls together would go rotten and it was Harold who found a way to repair them.From such a small beginning grew quite a successful business as demand for doll repairs increased.

　　The business was taken over in the 1930’s by Harold’s son，also Harold Chapman who relocated the Doll Hospital to Her Majesty’s Arcade in Sydney where the business expanded.The real boom came in 1939 with World War Ⅱ

　　and the extreme restrictions on production and import.Suddenly new dolls were no longer an option so little children had to have their “best friends” lovingly repaired.

　　In 1968 the Doll Hospital moved to its present location.It is now run by Mr Geoff Chapman，Harold Jnr’s son.The Hospital is not only in its third generation of owners，but also its third generation of “doctors”，the skills and knowledge being passed down through the family of repairers.

　　Flipping through the “Before and After” photo album，you can see just how many wonderful repairs have been carried out and you can just imagine the stories behind them.It is estimated that the Doll Hospital has treated over 2.5 million “patients” so far—that’s a lot of childhood memories revived!

　　1．The Doll Hospital gives visitors a sense of days gone by possibly because ________.

　　A．the buildings are of age-old appearance

　　B．the design of the doors suggests old times

　　C．they have already known the Hospital’s story

　　D．what they see reminds them of their childhood

　　2．Early in 1910s Harold’ brother________.

　　A．ran a General Store

　　B．shipped dolls from abroad

　　C．helped Harold repair dolls

　　D．ended his old business

　　3．Harold Jnr refers to the________of the Doll Hospital.

　　A．founder

　　B．second owner

　　C．third owner

　　D．present owner

　　4．Judging from the article，________during World War .

　　A．most people couldn’t afford new dolls

　　B．little children didn’t like new dolls

　　C．playing with dolls wasn’t allowed

　　D．new dolls were hardly available

　　5．What can you see in the “Before and After” photo album?

　　A．The three generations of the “doctors”．

　　B．The past and present of the Hospital.

　　C．The dolls before and after their repairs. D．All the 2.5 million dolls repaired.

　　(2024·江西師大附中、鷹潭一中高三年級聯(lián)考)

　　[1]For the people living in the Nile Basin，the river is their life.This 6,825 km river，whose watershed (分水嶺) covers

　　three

　　million

　　square

　　kilometers，flows

　　through mountains，woodlands，lakes and deserts.Its potential for fishing，tourism and shipping is great—but so are its challenges.[2]Water shortage，already serious in Egypt and Sudan，will soon influence several other countries in the watershed，too.Today，about 160 million people depend on the Nile River for their living.Within the next 25

　　years，the district’s population is expected to double，adding to the demand brought about by growth in industry and agriculture.The frequent drought adds to the urgency.

　　[3]Water quality is also a problem.Precious soil is washed out to sea.Wastes from industry and agriculture create pollution.Higher concentrations of salt influence irrigated soils.Waterborne diseases continue unchecked.In areas where it’s hot and damp，water hyacinths choke off lakes，dams and other sections of the river，making it difficult for fishing and other businesses to move forward.

　　[4]Native people along the narrow area of farmland have watched the sand move closer day by day.They’ve seen the river change course，and their only source of water thickened with mud.They’re very poor and have few choices.

　　[5]But a new program，the Nile Basin Initiative，is offering very practical assistance.The program is__________a water management project.It’s a plan for the social and economic development of a vast district as well：it concentrates on the needs of the poorest of the poor and the environment that supports them.

　　[6]These are whole ecosystem problems，calling for united solutions.Half the Nile Basin’s countries are among the world’s poorest nations；yet，somehow，they must find the resources，skills

　　and

　　political

　　will

　　to

　　overcome

　　these challenges.
