It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of (短缺) water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can’t drink or use for watering plants directly (直接地). Man can only drink and use the 3% —the water that comes from rivers and lakes. And we can’t even use all of that, because some of it has been polluted. Now more water is needed. The problem is: Can we avoid (避免) a serious water shortage later on? First, we should all learn how to save water. Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it. Scientists have always been making studies in the field. Today, in most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers. But it can be used again. Even though every large city reused its water, still there would not be enough. What could people turn to next? The sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea. All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water. This is expensive, but it’s already used in many parts of the world. Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it. So you see, if we can find a way out, we’ll be in no danger of drying up. 1．The world is thirsty because ________. A．3/4 of the earth is covered with water B．we have enough river water to use directly C．about 97% of water on the earth can’t be drunk or used for watering plants directly D．we can drink sea water directly. 2．Which of the following is true? A．3% of water on the earth is in rivers and lakes. B．75% of water on the earth is the sea. C．97% of the earth is covered with water. D．2/4 of the earth is covered with water 3．From the passage we learn _________. A．if every city reuses its water, we’ll be in no danger of drying up B．man can only drink and use about 25% of water on the earth C．today in most large cities water is used only once D．We can avoid a serious water shortage 4．To avoid the serious water shortage, which of the following is the most important? A．Save water and try to make good use of the water in rivers and lakes. B．Don’t pollute water and keep all rivers and lakes clean. C．Try to find a cheaper way to get the salt out of the sea water. D．Every large city reused its water. 5．The name of the passage would be ________ A．The Sea Water B．How to Save Water C．The Hungry World D．The Thirsty World 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．C 4．C 5．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了世界水资源短缺的问题，包括地球水资源的分布情况、缺水的原因，以及为避免严重缺水所探讨的解决办法，如节约用水、水的再利用和淡化海水等。 1．细节理解题。根据第一段“Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can’t drink or use for watering plants ... because some of it has been polluted.”可知，地球上约97%的水是海水，不能直接饮用或用于浇灌植物，所以世界缺水。故选C。 2．细节理解题。根据第一段“Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can’t drink or use for watering plants directly ... comes from rivers and lakes.”可知，地球上3%的水来自河流和湖泊，也就是在河流和湖泊中的水占地球总水量的3% 。故选A。 3．细节理解题。根据第二段“Today, in most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers.”可知，如今在大多数大城市，水只被使用一次就流入大海或河流。故选C。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“The sea seems to have the best answer. ... we’ll be in no danger of drying up.”可知，海水有大量的水，解决缺水问题最好的办法是把海水中的盐提取出来，而目前成本高，科学家在找更便宜的方法，所以找到更便宜的提取海水中盐的方法是最重要的。故选C。 5．主旨大意题。文章开头就指出“The world is not hungry, but it is thirsty.”，且全文围绕世界缺水以及解决办法展开，所以文章标题应该是“The Thirsty World”。故选D。 二、书面表达 “水是生命之源”。你校准备举行以“Save Water”为题的英语征文比赛，请根据以下思维导图的内容提示写一篇短文投稿，呼吁同学们节约用水。 注意： 1. 可在思维导图内容提示的基础上适当拓展信息； 2. 词数80词左右 (短文的开头已给出，不计入词数)； 3. 不得透露学校、姓名等任何个人信息，否则不予评分。 In the world, many people live a hard life because they don’t have enough water. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【例文】 In the world, many people live a hard life because they don’t have enough water. Water is important to people. People need water to survive. But many people waste water. Some of them don’t turn off the taps after washing hands. Some of them take a shower for a long time. It is important to save water. We should always turn off the taps after using them. After we wash the vegetables, we can use the water to clean the toilet. When it rains, we can collect the rain and use it to clean the floor. I think everyone should save water to protect the environment. Let’s start from small things.

Let’s work together to save water at home, starting today! First, let’s change our habits in the bathroom. Turn off the tap while brushing teeth, take showers under 5 minutes, and replace old showerheads with water-saving ones. These small steps can cut our bathroom water use by half! Second, let’s reuse water in the kitchen. Save water from washing vegetables to water the plants on the balcony, use a basin to wash dishes instead of running the tap, and store leftover drinking water in a bottle for later. Reusing water is easy and smart! Finally, let’s check for leaks regularly. Look for dripping taps in the kitchen, wet spots under the sink, or leaking hoses in the garden. Fixing a small leak can save up to 50 liters a day — that’s like 100 bottles of water! Water is life. Without it, there’s no fresh food, no clean clothes, no happy moments at home. Let’s be water savers, one drop at a time. Save water, save our home! Liu Yang 【范文 1】 A Proposal for Water Conservation in Daily Life Dear friends, Did you know that over 70% of the earth is water, but only 3% is fresh and usable? At home, we can make a big difference by changing our daily habits. Let’s protect water together! Let’s start with small actions. When washing hands, turn off the tap while soaping; when cleaning the floor, use a wet cloth instead of a bucket of water; when filling the kettle, boil only as much as you need. These tiny changes add up to huge savings. We can also get creative with water. Collect rainwater in a big barrel to clean windows, use water from rinsing fruits to feed the fish, and save water from boiling eggs to water the flowers. It’s fun to find new ways to reuse water! Finally, let’s teach each other. Tell your little brother not to play with the tap, show your parents how to fix a dripping faucet, and share water-saving tips with your neighbors. When we all join in, our efforts multiply! Water connects us all. Let’s promise to care for it, today and always. Be a water hero — start at home!

It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of (短缺) water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can’t drink or use for watering plants directly (直接地). Man can only drink and use the 3% —the water that comes from rivers and lakes. And we can’t even use all of that, because some of it has been polluted. Now more water is needed. The problem is: Can we avoid (避免) a serious water shortage later on? First, we should all learn how to save water. Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it. Scientists have always been making studies in the field. Today, in most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers. But it can be used again. Even though every large city reused its water, still there would not be enough. What could people turn to next? The sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea. All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water. This is expensive, but it’s already used in many parts of the world. Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it. So you see, if we can find a way out, we’ll be in no danger of drying up. 1．The world is thirsty because ________. A．3/4 of the earth is covered with water B．we have enough river water to use directly C．about 97% of water on the earth can’t be drunk or used for watering plants directly D．we can drink sea water directly. 2．Which of the following is true?
