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．

Passage FourHow can we get rid of garbage?Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs?These are two important questions that many people are asking today．Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time,They suggest using garbage as an energy source,and at the same time it can save the land to hold garbage．For a long time,people buried garbage or dumped it on empty land．Now,empty land is scarce．But more and more garbage is produced each year．However,garbage can be a good fuel to use．The things in garbage do not look like coal,petroleum,or natural gas;but they are chemically similar to these fossil fuels．As we use up our fossil-fuel supplies,we might be able to use garbage as an energy source．Burning garbage is not a new idea．Some cities in Europe and the United States have been burning garbage for years．The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water．The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby,buildings．In Paris,France,some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the cities garbage each year．The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil．Our fossil fuel supplies are limited．Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs．This method could also reduce the amount if garbage piling up on the earth．What is the author's attitude?A.DelighteB.SadC.Agree inD.Disagree in

The water we drink and use is running short in the world.We all have to learn how to stop wasting our limited water.One of the steps we should take is to find ways of reusing it.Experiments have already been done in this field.Today in most large cities,fresh water is used only once,then it runs into waste system.But it is possible to pipe the used water to a purifying factory.There it can be filtered and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again,just as it were fresh from a spring.But even if every large city purified and reused its water,we still would not have enough.Then we could turn to the oceans.All we’d have to do to make use of the seawater on earth is to get rid of the salt.This process is called desalinization,and it is already in use in many parts of the world.The way to stop wasting our limited water is to________.A.do experiments with waterB.purify the used water and reuse itC.use fresh water once againD.make use of seawater
There wouldn’t be enough water for us if we didn’t_________.A.turn to the oceans for more waterB.reuse used water and make use of seawaterC.desalt seawaterD.take steps to reuse all water on earth
