most people,graduation is an exciting day-the conclusion of years of hard work.Mygraduation day.was not.Like everyone else in my graduating class,I had watched the economyturn from bad to worse in my senior year.We graduates had degrees,but very limited prospects.Numerous applications had not panned out（成功）and I knew that the next day,when my lease（租约）ended,I would no longer have a place to call home.The weeks ahead werent easy.I gathered up everything I couldnt carry and put it into storage.Then,because I knew my small university town couldnt offer me any opportunities,I packed upmy car and drove to Southern California to find work.But what I thought would take a weekdragged into two,and then four,and 100 job applications later,I found myself in the exact samespot as I was before.And the due date to begin paying back my student loans was closer.You know that feeling when you wake up and you are just consumed with fear?Fearful ofsomething you cant control that sense of failure.Everything that happened to you thus far wasjust a bad dream.That feeling became a constant in my life.Days felt like weeks,weeks likemonths and those many months felt like an unending difficulty.And the most frustrating part wasno matter how much I tried,I just couldnt seem to make any progress.So what did I do to maintain my sanity?I wrote.Something about putting words on a pagemade everything seem a little clearer-a little brighter.Something about writing gave me hope.And if you want something badly enough.sometimes a little hope is all you need!I channeledmy frustration into a childrens book.Beyond the river was the story of an unlikely hero featuringa little fish who simply refused to give up on his dream.And then one day,without any sort of writing degree or contacts in the writing world just alot of hard work and perseverance-I was offered a publishing contract for my first book!Afterthat things slowly began to fall into place.I was offered a second book deal.Then,a few monthslater,I got an interview with The Walt Disney Company and was hired shortly after.Dont give up.Even if things look hopeless now dont give up.Two years ago I was huddledin my car drinking cold soup right out of the can.Things change.If you work hard,give it time,and dont give up,things will always get better.Often times our dreams lie in wait just a littlefurther upstream.all we need is the courage to push beyond the river.河西区高三英语试卷（一）第6页 共1 2页41.What is to blame for the authors suffering?A.Society.B.Education.C.Politics.D.Loans.42.What trouble did the author meet with?A.He couldnt find a job related to what he learned in the university.B.He didnt want to graduate from university but had to.C.He went to a wrong place trying to find an ideal job.D.He suffered from some negative feeling psychologically.43.The underlined word“sanity in Paragraph 4 means“the state of beingA.desperateB.reasonableC.awkwardD.frustrated44.Why did the author receive the first publishing contract?A.Because he had put what he had learned into use.B.Because he gave up applying for a scholarship.C.Because he worked hard and never lost heart.D.Because he was finally looked after by luck.45.What can we learn from this article?A.God helps those who help themselves.B.Experience is the mother of wisdom.C.The pen is stronger than the sword.D.Nothing comes wrong to a hungry man.CIs it possible to build houses that are completely self-sufficient in providing and disposing oftheir own water?Many areas of the world suffer from low rainfall.A lack of water is increasinglybecoming a problem.How is it possible to save and better use water resources in homes?Some houses in rural areas of Australia do not have water supplied to them.The house waslike this even though the people lived in a suburb called Gelorup,only 10 kilometers from the cityof Bunbury.They collected all the water on the roof and from the gutters（排水沟）where it wentinto underground pipes that led to a large water tank.From the tank the water fed back to thehouse and supplied all their needs from drinking to flushing toilets.When they came to the end ofthe winter rainy season,they would carefully watch the level of the water in the water tank:it hadan indicator on the side.河西区高三英语试卷（一）第7页 共1 2页The water used by the house would go into a system below the house which purified it andeventually released it into the ground.They werent allowed to use strong chemicals in cleaningand washing the natural bacteria needed to work in the water before it was released again.This was a great system as water was not pumped to or from their house.They were usingtheir own water and were self-reliant.They didnt even get a water bill!Imagine if every housecould be built with this capacity.The drawback was that it often seemed to be such a waste that the water filtering（过滤）downinto the ground could not be first used on the garden.When they ran low on water,it was thegarden that suffered as they had to stop watering.How often they imagined that water feeding theflowers and vegetables.Now there is a system,developed by an Australian company that allows people to reuse muchof that water.The system is called the Nexus eWater Recycler.On their website they explain that,“grey water is wastewater generated by washing people and their clothes.It accounts fbr nearlyhalf of the water used in a typical home.Water from the bath,shower,sink dishwasher andwashing machine is pulled into the recycler.There it is made safe enough to use on gardens and intoilets.That surely would have solved all the water problems.Houses which do not collect their ownwater as people in Gelorup did,can also still benefit from this system.With the system,most ofthe water fed to the houses can be used twice over.In addition,the system has an extra componentthat can be bought and installed that uses the heat from the waste bath or washing machine waterto heat up a tank of clean water.46.What do we know about people living in Gelorup from Paragraph 2 and 3?A.They collect all the water they could find in the underground pipes.B.They install a system to purify the water before it*s supplied to the family.C.They employ chemicals to kill the bacteria in water before draining it.D.They seldom worry about the volume of water in their tanks in rainy season.47.The drawback of the system used by Gelorup is.A.water should be pumped into the system to be purified before releasingB.it fails to rid the waste water of unnecessary bacteria and virus before releasingC.people still have to pay high water bill because of its low recyclability rateD.the waste rate is so high that people have to sacrifice gardening when lacking water48.Whafs NOT the advantage of the Nexus e Water Recyeler?A.Water dealt with by Recycler is safer to use in gardening.B.It improves the recyclability rate of the waste water.C.It enables every drop of wate
