People have mainly used cars or taxis to travel from one place to another. These forms of land transportation have their constraints. Time has been wasted simply because of the traffic on the road. Well, this issue may be solved soon because a company has made a taxi that can actually fly and avoid the crowded streets.
XPeng, a Chinese carmaker, has created this wonderful innovation and conducted the first global public fight of its electric flying car, the XPeng X2, in Dubai.

The future model will be equipped with both manned and unmanned flight driving modes, and will be able to drive in the air and on roads—the fifth-generation vehicle is only capable of flying, not driving.
This first ever public flight came with full support of Dubai’s government. They have been deeply involved in the process. An official called Hashemi said, “The first global public flight of the X2 flying car will change the game of future mobility. The flying car is the combination of ambition, innovation and future-oriented vision that has always inspired Dubai and its leadership.

Around two-thirds of the world’s population will face at least one month of water shortages by 2050, according to a new report on how climate change is affecting the world’s water resources.
The report from the WMO(世界气候组织), released Tuesday, includes predictions about river flows, floods and droughts(干旱) on every continent. It warned that some places, such as Brazil’s Rio Sao Francisco basin, face a challenging future because of the continuous droughts. However, others, including the Great Lakes region of the United States, are in better shape. There will be losers and winners, the authors wrote, though, “Overall, the negative trends are stronger than the positive ones.”
Researchers also said rapid snow melt in high-altitude regions has “a great impact” on global water security. The heavy use of groundwater for irrigation, a problem worsened by droughts, also affects global water security.
“The impacts of climate change are often felt through water—more severe and frequent droughts, and more extreme flooding. They have great effects on economy, ecosystems and all aspects of our daily lives,” WMO Secretary-General Taalas said.
“There isn’t enough understanding of changes in the distribution(分布), quantity, and quality of freshwater resources. The 36-page report will fill that knowledge gap and provide an outline of water availability in different parts of the world,” another official said. The findings will guide investments on climate adaptation. Besides, it will also give information to the United Nations’ campaign to provide access to early risk warning systems for climate disasters.
“Between 2001 and 2018, the United Nations reported that 74 percent of all natural disasters were water related. This motivates participants at the recent U. N. climate conference to further add water into adaptation efforts. This report will be a great help,” added the official.
32.What is the main finding of the report
A. Continuous floods have put Brazil at risk.
B. The use of groundwater has worsened droughts.
C. The world water security has become unbalanced.
D. Every continent is suffering from natural disasters.
33.What is Taalas’s attitude to global water security
A. Concerned. B. Optimistic. C. Critical. D. Tolerant.
34.What is the main idea of Paragraph 5
A. The content of the report. B. The purpose of the report.
C. The background of the report. D. The significance of the report.
35.Why did the author write this text
A. To call on people to save water.
B. To explain reasons for climate disasters.
C. To present a report on global water security.
D. To compare water resources in different places.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
Fluency is the rate at which the child reads. Fluent readers take note of things like question marks and adjust their voice. Their expression sounds natural, and their voice is not as flat as they read. Children who are fluent readers make their reading sound like talking. 36 Here are some ways to improve Your children’s fluency.
First, it’s important to choose “just right” books. They will struggle to read books that are too difficult, spending their time trying to figure out unfamiliar words. 37 If a child is struggling with fluency, consider having him read books that are easy.
38 It’s important to discuss what fluent reading sounds like but even better actually to set an example for your children. This can help your children understand what you mean when you ask them to use the expression more smoothly. Another choice is to have children listen to audiobooks to hear what fluent reading sounds like.
Children can improve their fluency through whispering phones. They are like pretend telephones that children read into. When children read into such phones, they can hear themselves well and use that feedback to think about their expression and reading rate. 39
Use choral reading(合唱式阅读). This occurs when a group of children reads something together, saying the words at the same time. You might read the text out loud by yourself first. 40 Then you can read it together, with them matching your pace and expression.
A. This causes fluency to break down.
B. Give your children materials to listen to.
C. Many children also find choral reading useful.
D. Model for children how reading should sound.
E. Children can hear how the reading should sound.
E. Many children find it’s quite interesting to use them.
G. Their reading sounds effortless, much like carrying on a conversation.
