问答题Water is vital for our survival and for producing food. It takes about a thousand tons of water to produce one tone of grain that, fed to cows, produces only 18 pounds of meat. Today mankind is using about 160 billion tons more water each year than is being replenished by rain and fed back into water storages. If this water were carried in water trucks, it would require a 300, 000-mile-long convoy of trucks every day—a convoy length 37 times the diameter of the Earth. This is how much water we are using and not replenishing.

BThe world is not only hungry，it is also thirsty for water． this may seem strange to you，since nearly 75% of the earth is covered with water． But about 97% of this water is sea water．Man can only drink and use the other 3% fresh water that comes from rivers，lakes，under-ground and other places． And we cannot even use all of that，because some of this fresh water has been made dirty．At the moment，this small amount(数量) of fresh water is still enough for us． However，our need for water is getting greater and greater． Only if we take steps to solve this problem now，we can get away from a serious world water shortage later on． The people of the world cannot have an enjoyable life without enough clean water．On one hand we should stop wasting this little water of ours，on the other hand we should find ways to reuse it，but this has not been done widely．Today，in most large cities，water is used only once and it then returns to the sea or runs into underground places．lf we can make it clean again，it can be used once more just as if it were fresh from a spring．But even if large cities reuse its water，we still would not have enough in the future． Where．could we turn to next for water? To the ocean! How can we do to make use of this great a-mount of sea water? We can take the salt from the water to make it fresh．So if we take all these steps，we'll be in no danger of drying up!( )26． Why does the writer say that the world is thirsty for water?A． The amount of fresh water is really very small．B． The people of the world waste too much water．C． The people of the world have to drink a lot of water every day．D． There are too many people in the world needing water．

共用题干The Drink Your Body Needs MostI Our bodies are estimated to be about 60% to 70% water. Blood is mostly water,andour muscles,lungs,and brain all contain a lot of water. Water is needed to regulate bodytemperature and to provide the means for nutrients（滋养物）to travel to all our organs. Water also transports oxygen to our cells,removes waste,and protects our joints andorgans.2 We lose water through urination（排尿）,respiration（呼吸）,and by sweating. If youare very active,you lose more water than if you do not take much exercise.Symptoms ofmild dehydration（脱水）include chronic pains in joints and muscles, lower back pain, headaches, and constipation（便秘）.A strong smell to your urine, along with a yellowcolor indicates that you are not getting enough water. Thirst is an obvious sign ofdehydration and in fact,you need water long before you feel thirsty.3 A good rule of thumb（好的做法）is to take your bod犷weight in pounds and divide thatnumber in half. That gives you the number of ounces（盎司）of water per day that youneed.For example,if you weigh 160 pounds,you should drink at least 80 ounces of waterper day.If you exercise you should drink another 8-ounce glass of water for every 20minutes you are active.If you drink coffee or alcohol,you should add at least an equalamount of water. When you are traveling on an airplane,it is good to have 8 ounces ofwater for every hour you are on board the plane.4 It may be difficult to drink enough water on a busy day.Be sure you have water handy atall times by keeping a bottle for water with you when you are working,traveling,orexercising.If you get bored with plain water,add a bit of lemon for a touch of flavor.Thereare some brands of flavored water available,but some of them have sugar or artificial sweeteners that you don't need. The amount of water your body needs per day is closely related________.A:in your bodyB:without waterC:before longD:for a changeE:on a busy dayF:to your weight

问答题The second most important constituent of the biosphere is liquid water.This can only exist in a very narrow range of temperatures, since water freezesat 0℃ and boils at 100℃ This is only a tiny range compared with the low tem-peratures of some other planets and the hot interior of the earth, let the tem- 1．_______perature of the sun. As we know, life would only be possible on the face of a 2．_______planet had temperatures somewhere within this range. 3．_______ The earth’s supply of water probably remains quite fairly constant in 4．_______quantity. A certain number of hydrogen atoms, which are one of the mainconstituents of water, are lost by escaping from the atmosphere to out space, 5．_______but they are probably just about replaced by new water rising away from the 6．_______depths of the earth during volcanic action. The total quantity of water is notknown, and it is about enough to cover the surface of the globe to a depth of 7．_______about two and three-quarter kms. Most of it—97%—is in the form of the saltwaters of the oceans. The rest is fresh, but three quarter of this is in the form of 8．_______ice at the Poles and on mountains, and cannot be used by living systems when 9．_______melted. Of the remaining fraction, which is somewhat fewer than 1% of the 10．_______whole, there is 10-20 times as much stored as underground water as is actual-ly on the surface. There is also a minor, but extremely important, fraction ofthe water supply which is present as water vapour in the atmosphere.欢迎使用ueditor!
问答题Directions： Please write an essay in about 150 words entitled “Water Shortage” based on the following outline. The first sentence has been given. Outline： （1）Water shortage has become much more serious than before. （2）The chief reasons for water shortage. （3）My suggestions.
单选题Since 1960, the fast-growing town of Hotstone, Arizona, has drawn water from the Gray River, which feeds Lake Mudfish. If the town’s water use continues to grow at its present rate, in about 20 years the water level of Lake Mudfish will inevitably decrease to the point that it can no longer support its biologically fragile population of fish. The prediction above is based on which of the following assumptions?AAs the town’s water requirements grow, it will not be able to meet those requirements by drawing on water sources other than the Gray River.BSince 1960, the lake’s population of fish has become more biologically fragile.CThe amount of water that the lake loses to evaporation each year will increase over the next two decades.DThere are multiple sources of water besides the Gray River that feed into Lake Mudfish.EThe town of Hotstone will be able to reverse its trend of increasing water use if it implements an aggressive water conservation program.

问答题Water is vital for our survival and for producing food. It takes about a thousand tons of water to produce one tone of grain that, fed to cows, produces only 18 pounds of meat. Today mankind is using about 160 billion tons more water each year than is being replenished by rain and fed back into water storages. If this water were carried in water trucks, it would require a 300, 000-mile-long convoy of trucks every day—a convoy length 37 times the diameter of the Earth. This is how much water we are using and not replenishing.
