It covers about 71% of the Earth's surface, with approximately 97% being salt water in oceans and only 3% being fresh water. This fresh water exists in different forms; about 68% is trapped in glaciers.30% is underground, and just 2% is found in rivers, lakes, and the atmosphere. The continuous movement of water on Earth is called the 16 . This natural process begins when the sun's he at causes water to 17 from oceans, lakes, and rivers. The water vapor rises into the atmosphere where it cools and 18 into tiny droplets, forming clouds. When these droplets become too heavy, they fall back to Earth as precipitation(降水), which could be rain, snow, or hail depending on the temperature. Water is essential for all 19 processes in living organisms. Humans can survive without food for weeks, but can only live 3-5 days without water. Besides drinking, we use water for agriculture, which consumes about 70% of global fresh water. Industries also require large quantities of water for 20 and cooling purposes. However, water resources are under threat. Many areas face 21 due to climate change and overuse. Pollution from factories and farms has made many water sources 22 . In some developing countries, millions of people lack access to 23 drinking water, leading to waterborne diseases. To address these challenges, we must take action. Simple measures like fixing 24 pipes can save thousands of liters annually. Using 25 appliances and practicing rainwater harvesting are other effective solutions. Governments should also invest in water treatment plants to ensure clean water for all. 16. A. water cycle B. rain circle C. ocean flow D. ocean current 17. A. freeze B. evaporate C. disappear D. drop 18. A. condenses B. expands C. disappears D. increases 19. A. chemical B. biological C. environmental D. geological 20. A. cleaning B. manufacturing C. transporting D. eating 21. A. water shortages B. heavy rains C. floods D. strong winds 22. A. cleaner B. polluted C. deeper D. lighter 23.

They find that koalas are a 65 at night. They live in trees and depend on them for food, drinking and also for resting places. Koalas spend m 66 of the time high up in the trees. They eat lots of leaves. An adult koala normally eats between 0.5 kg and 0.8k g of leaves a day. Koalas sleep about 20 hours a day. Mella notes that a koala usually s 67 98% of its life in trees. She also notes that they only come down to the ground when they discover another tree with b 68 leaves. In fact, the word “koala” means “no drink” in the 169 language. Koalas did not go down to the ground very often. So it was considered that they had no need to drink water.
