第五节 阅读下面的材料，并根据材料内容回答所提问题。
25．（10分）Grown﹣ups are always telling kids what to do.Do you listen to them？Usually they know what is best for you，but sometimes they can be wrong.
So，many countries have a special law（法律）to keep people under 18 safe.
How the law works
Teachers can punish bad students，but they cannot just do anything they like.If a teacher tries to kick（踢）you out of class，you can go to the headmaster and tell him you have the right to stay in school.
School buildings and playgrounds must also be safe for children.If the things you use in P.E.class are unsafe，the law says the school must fix（维修）them or get new ones.
Do you know anyone who can't go to school because their parents aren't willing to pay for it？This is also against the law，which says parents must have their kids in school.
Kids have a right to privacy（隐私）under the law，which says parents and teachers cannot read children's own letters.
The law also protects children's health.It says there should be no smoking in schools and other places where many teenagers go.
Have you ever wondered why tickets for parks and museums are cheaper for students？It's also because of the law.It says that kids need to have lots of chances to learn.
（1）Who can you get help from when your teacher tries to kick you out of class？
（2）What can you do if the things you use in P.E.class are unsafe？
（3）Is it right if your parents don't pay for your schooling？

Water，like air and sunshine，is very important to living things.All animals and plants need water. （1） Without water，there can be no life on earth.
Man also needs water.He needs it to drink，to cook and to clean himself.It even makes up the greater part of his body.
Water is almost everywhere. （2） It covers most parts of the earth. It is in lakes，rivers and seas.Even in the driest places of the world，there is water in the air.
However，most of the water on earth is seawater. （3） There is too much salt in it. So it is not good for drinking or washing. （4）We can only drink or use fresh water. It makes up only a very small part of all the water on earth.
To make things even worse，our need for water is growing and，at the same time，we are wasting the clean fresh water. （5）We are polluting the lakes and rivers. As a result，there is not much drinking water left.

第五节 阅读下面的材料，并根据材料内容回答所提问题。
25．（10分）Grown﹣ups are always telling kids what to do.Do you listen to them？Usually they know what is best for you，but sometimes they can be wrong.
So，many countries have a special law（法律）to keep people under 18 safe.
How the law works
Teachers can punish bad students，but they cannot just do anything they like.If a teacher tries to kick（踢）you out of class，you can go to the headmaster and tell him you have the right to stay in school.
School buildings and playgrounds must also be safe for children.If the things you use in P.E.class are unsafe，the law says the school must fix（维修）them or get new ones.
Do you know anyone who can't go to school because their parents aren't willing to pay for it？This is also against the law，which says parents must have their kids in school.
Kids have a right to privacy（隐私）under the law，which says parents and teachers cannot read children's own letters.
The law also protects children's health.It says there should be no smoking in schools and other places where many teenagers go.
Have you ever wondered why tickets for parks and museums are cheaper for students？It's also because of the law.It says that kids need to have lots of chances to learn.
（1）Who can you get help from when your teacher tries to kick you out of class？ We can get help from the headmaster.
（2）What can you do if the things you use in P.E.class are unsafe？ We can ask the school to repair them.
（3）Is it right if your parents don't pay for your schooling？ No，it isn't.
（4）Why are the tickets for parks and museums cheaper for students according to the law？ Because the law says that kids need to have lots of chances to learn.
（5）What's the purpose of making this special law？ It protects people under 18.
【分析】这是一篇关于保护未成年人的法律的文章。
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据If a teacher tries to kick（踢）you out of class，you can go to the headmaster and tell him you have the right to stay in school.（如果一个老师把你赶出了课堂，你可以去找校长并且告诉他你有权利在学校里。）可知如果一个老师把你赶出了课堂，我们可以寻求校长的帮助。故答案为：We can get help from the headmaster.
（2）细节理解题。根据If the things you use in P.E.class are unsafe，the law says the school must fix（维修）them or get new ones.（如果在体育课的东西不安全了，法律规定，学校必须维修或者买新的。）可知如果在体育课的东西不安全了，我们可以让学校维修或买新的。故答案为：We can ask the school to fix them or get new ones.
（3）推理判断题。根据Do you know anyone who can't go to school because their parents aren't willing to pay for it？This is also against the law，which says parents must have their kids in school.（你知道任何人因为他们的父母不愿意承担费用而不能去上学吗？这也是违反法律的，法律规定父母必须让他们的孩子上学。）可知父母不负担上学费用是不对的，否定回答。故答案为：No，it isn't.
（4）细节理解题。Have you ever wondered why tickets for parks and museums are cheaper for students？It's also because of the law.It says that kids need to have lots of chances to learn.（你想知道为什么公园和博物馆的门票对学生便宜吗？因为法律。法律规定孩子们需要更多学习的机会。）可知因为法律规定孩子们需要更多的学习的机会，所以门票才比成人便宜。故答案为：Because the law says that kids need to have lots of chances to learn.
（5）文章主旨题。根据many countries have a special law（法律）to keep people under 18 safe.（许多国家有一个特殊的法律去保护18岁以下人的安全。）可知这个法律的目的是保护18岁以下人的安全。故答案为：It protects people under 18.
