【解析】
试题分析:这篇短文主要描述了水资源对于人类生活的重要性,以及水资源受到破坏的情况,号召我们采取行动保护水资源。
1.介词辨析。For为了,对于;to到,向;of关于,……的;towards朝向。只有在it's important for sb. to do sth.时sb.前用for,表示对某人来说,做某事很重要;而要表达某人某事某物对某人很重要时必须是sb./sth. be important to sb.这里只能用to。故选B。
2.词义辨析。None一个也没有;not副词,不;much许多;no形容词,没有。结合语境可知没有水就没有生命。None一般不用做定语,故选D。
3.联系前文主语we,我们,可知此处指的是我们自己,故选D,我们自己。
4.词义辨析。made of由……组成,用于被动语态;make制作;makes up组成;made in在……制造。结合语境可知水组成我们身体的大部分。故选C。
5.联系前文定冠词the及语境,可知指的是世界上最干旱的地方,故选A,最干旱的。
6.词义辨析。Best最好的;worse更坏的;worst最坏的;better更好的。结合语境可知是为了让事物变得更好,故选D。
7.decide决定;try试图;fail失败;take采取。联系下文,可知人们失败于保持水的清洁。故选C。
8.enough修饰形容词时一般放在形容词后面,结合语境可知此处意思是淡水不够清洁,故选A,足够清洁的。
9.考查短语be short of sth缺少某物。故选D。
10.考查被动语态。句意:必须采取措施阻止这种事情发生。根据句意可知本句主语为动作对象,故用被动语态,结合前文be动词,可知选D。
考点:关于水资源问题的说明文
点评:这篇短文内容比较简单,理解不难。各小题与上下文联系比较紧密,答题中一定要注意联系上下文。答完后多读几遍,看看是否符合逻辑,适当修改。个别小题可以当做单独的词义辨析题来做,先区分词义,结合语境选出最能使语句通顺的答案。
