This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70% of the earth’s surface is covered with water. But about 97% of that is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3%-the fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources(资源). And we can not even use all of that. Even worse, some of it has been made dirty. However, as things stand today, this fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is becoming larger and larger quickly-almost day by day. We should take steps to do with this problem now and in this way we can get away from a serious world-wide water shortage(缺少) later on. We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system(下水道) .From there it returns to sea or runs into underground places. But even if every large city reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we’d have to do to make use of sea water in the world is to remove the salt. If we take these steps we’ll be in no danger of drying up. ( )1.The world is thirsty for water because____. A. man hasn’t got enough food to eat B. we haven’t got enough fresh water C. only 70% of the earth’s surface is water D. more water is sent into sewer systems ( )2.The underlined word valuable means ____. A. much and salty B. fresh and enough C. dear and useful D. clean and helpful ( )3.What should we do if we want to have enough fresh water? (a) Make full use of the sea water. (b) Carry salt water into lades or rivers. (c) Try to save the fresh water as much as possible. (d) Do our best to use the water again. A. (c) and (e) B.(a) and (d) C. (a), (c) and (d) D. (b), (d) and (e) ( )4.The best but the most difficult way to solve the water problem of the world is to ____. A. remove the salt from sea water B. make the water in cities clean C. take water from underground D. make the need for water smaller ( )5.What’s the best title(标题)for this passage? A. The Importance of the Water B. The World’s Water Problem C. The Thirsty World D. Fresh Water and Sea Water C Henry works in a factory. He comes from a poor family and was in school for only for four years. He has to do the hard work, but he’s paid less. He likes to watch football matches very much and spends much time on it. One evening there was a big football match on a playground. He borrowed some money from his friend and hurried there. There were a lot of people there. And all the tickets ware sold out. He was sorry for it. He saw a pole(电线杆) outside the playground and climbed it up quickly. A policeman came and said, “It’s dangerous to stay on it! Come down!” “Wait a minute, please!” Henry said and just at that moment the policeman heard cheers(欢呼声) in the playground and asked in a hurry, “Which team has kicked a goal?” “Ours!” “Wonderful! You can stay there. But take care!” the policeman said happily and left. When the match would soon be over, he came back again and asked, “Who’s won?” “Theirs, 3-2.” “Come down,” the policeman said angrily, “Such a match isn’t worth watching!” Henry had to come down. But soon they heard cheers again.
