"I think in the end, because of the drought, all of Australia is going to end up drinking recycled purified water," said Peter Beattie. "These are difficult decisions, but you either drink water or you die. There's no choice. It's liquid gold, it's a matter of life and death."Beattie said Australia's second largest state would become the first to use recycled water for drinking.Water is recycled in Britain and parts of northern Europe along with the US and Israel.But Australians have never liked the idea.To try to change the way Australians think, Prime Minister John Howard and Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull have adhered to Queensland's move."I am very strongly for recycling and Mr. Beattie is right and I agree with him completely," Howard said.“Australian cities, all now facing water shortages because of the worst drought on record, must start to use recycled water.” added Turnbull, "All of our big cities have to widen the range of water sources to include sources which are not dependent on rainfall."1.

Underage drinking is a crime but also a common part of college social life. This week in our Foreign Student Series, we look at alcohol rules at American colleges and universities. These rules differ from school to school, as do measures. But many schools have been moving to strengthen their rules. The United States has more than 17000,000 students in higher education. Each year, 1700 of them die from alcohol-related road crashes and other injuries. 600,000 more are injured while under the influence of alcohol. And almost 700,000 are attacked by another drunken. One behavior that college officials are trying to prevent is too much drinking. Some researchers have found that students who think binge drinking is normal often think extremely how much other students really drink. A person can die of alcohol poisoning. At Oklahoma University, a nineteen-year-old student died from drinking heavily at a party in 2005Now alcohol is banned from all sorority houses and university housing. Student organizations can serve alcohol at events but only on Friday and Saturday nights. Other new requirements include an alcohol education program that first-year students take online. The rules govern behavior on campus (校园) and off. With a first violation(违犯), students pay seventy-five dollars and their parents are told. They must also take an alcohol education class. For a second "strike," they have to pay one hundred fifty dollars. A third strike means that they have to be suspended school for at least one semester. Since 2005, 363 students have had a first strike. 30 have had a second strike - and only one hasnt allowed to go to school for one semester. The president at Oklahoma tells us the aim is not just to punish but to change behavior and the culture at the university.1.

B 细节理解题。由第一则广告第二段 “What you need to do is log on our website and register, we will put your resume(简历) on Chinese website except contact details.”可知B项表述正确。A项与We provide this service to teacher for free. 不符; 第一则广告中没有提到可以打电话联系，故排除C项；D项明显不符原文信息。3.D 细节理解题。由 “Tutors should be fairly flexible(灵活的) to suit his busy schedule and be of professional appearance.”可知D项为正确答案。4.D推理判断题。由The teacher we are looking for will: - Be a Chinese /English speaking librarian.可知招聘的教师必须会中文和英语两门语言，所以D项是你被拒绝的原因。C项在此广告中没有提到；A、B两项可以从Qualifications找到依据。5.A猜测词义题。由全文的写作目的和该词后面的介绍可以推测出的意思为“职业”。本资料由七彩教育网 提供！
