growing as the population of the state continues to expand.New research has found deep water reserves under the state which could help solve their drought crisis.Previous drilling of wells could only reach depths of 1,000 feet，but due to new pumping practices，water deeper than this can now be extracted(抽取)The team at Stanford investigated the aquifers(地下蓄水层) below this depth and found that reserves may be triple(三倍的) what was previously thought.It is profitable to drill to depths more than 1,000 feet for oil and gas extraction，but only recently in California has it become profitable to pump water from this depth.The aquifers range from 1,000 to 3,000 feet below the ground，which means that pumping will be expensive and there are other concerns.The biggest concern of pumping out water from this depth is the gradual setting down of the land surface.As the water is pumped out，the vacant space left is compacted(压紧) by the weight of the earth above.Even though pumping from these depths is expensive，it is still cheaper than desalinating(脱盐) the ocean water in the largely coastal state.Some desalination plants exist where practical，but they are costly to run and can need constant repairs.Wells are much more reliable sources of freshwater，and California is hoping that these deep wells may be the answer to their severe water shortage.One problem with these sources is that the deep water also has a higher level of salt than shallower aquifers.This means that some wells may even need to undergo desalination after extraction，thus increasing the cost.Research from the exhaustive study of groundwater from over 950 drilling logs has just been published.New estimates of the water reserves now go up to 2,700 billion cubic meters of freshwater.5How could Californias drought crisis be solved according to some researchers?ABy building more reserves of groundwater.BBy drawing water from the depths of the earth.CBy developing more advanced drilling devices.DBy improving its water distribution system.6What is mentioned as a consequence of extracting water from deep underground?AThe sinking of land surface.BThe harm to the ecosystem.CThe damage to aquifers.DThe change of the climate.7What is the authors purpose in writing the text?ATo encourage people to save water.BTo promote the seawater desalination.CTo introduce a new way of extracting freshwater.DTo draw peoples attention to the droughts in California.答案BACC(2021四川树德中学质检)Recently，Google announced that its voiceactivated program，Google Assistant，will be offering a new feature called “Tell Me Something Good”Users can now give that command and receive an earful of positive news stories.Whats more，The New York Times has a page online called “Fixes”，which focuses on what people are doing to fight social ills.As media researcher Karen McIntyre of Virginia Commonwealth University explains，these are all parts of a news movement called constructive journalism.Constructive journalism is different from “feelgood news”，like a fireman rescuing a cat.Instead，constructive journalism offers a more complete but appealing version of the news，says McIntyre.In her opinion，besides focusing on solutions，constructive journalism includes reporting on the historical and social setting of specific news incidents，using reliable data to look at longerterm trends，and avoiding interview techniques that create drama without increasing understanding.However，newspapers thrive on eyes on the page，and editors may be less interested in constructive journalism if they arent convinced that itll attract their readers.While McIntyre acknowledges those concerns，research has shown the opposite to be true.For example，one study found participants who read an online story that focused on approaches to poverty spent more time on the page than those reading a similar story without focusing on solutions.There is much we dont know yet about how this kind of journalism affects behavior.The research is relatively young，though at least one of McIntyres studies showed an interesting result：people who read inspiring news stories were more willing afterwards to sign up for generous actions related to the story，such as donating money to support a cause from the story.Therefore，she argues，theres a hunger for this type of news.8Why are Google Assistant and “Fixes” mentioned in the first paragraph?ATo say how the news movement works.BTo stress the importance of positive news.CTo show what constructive journalism is.DTo lead in the topic of the whole text.9Constructive journalism encourages stories that .Ainform people of big eventsBare solutionfocusedCfocus on amazing youDare based on interesting facts10What may be the problem with constructive journalism?AThat it isnt appealing to readers.BThat it isnt easy to collect and edit.CThat it adds to some editors concerns.DThat it is unavailable to some readers.答案DBA.七选五(2021河南濮阳质检)It takes so long to organize your room and each closet，but it only takes a few days for you to return to your old bad habits.Learning how to organize something is one thing，but staying organized is a completely different matter.Here is some advice for you to follow through.Set deadlines for yourself. 1 Therefore，you have to set deadlines.For example，if you have a lot of tasks to finish，you need to set deadlines for each task.This way can urge you to finish all the tasks in an organized way. 2 One of the reasons why you may be struggling to stay organized is that you spend too much time on one task and then leave no time for other things you have to do on a day.Instead of making sure that you do Task A perfectly，make sure that you do a great job of it. 3 Reward yourself for tasks youve accomplished.If you want to continue to follow through on staying organized，dont just do one task and move on. 4 If you never stop to let yourself know what a great job youre doing，or take a break from time to time，then youre likely to feel stressed out and refuse to stay organized. 5 Wanting to stay organized doesnt mean that you have to do everything alone.If you want to clean your household，you should make sure that anyone else sharing the space with you also does their share of tasks; if you want to keep things running smoothly at work，take responsibilities together with your colleagues.AAvoid perfection.BTurn to others for advice.CCooperate as much as you can.DThen give yourself enough time to move on.EYou should reward yourself for saving much time.FInstead，give yourself a treat that delights you most.GTo stay
