Faced with the threat of water shortages, Beijing and Shanghai will take effective measures to save water and protect water resources.
Beijing will stick more strictly to water saving policies through the readjustment（重新调整）of industrial structures. Beijing is expected to be short of 1 185 billion cubic meters of water by 2020. Beijing will shut down factories with high water consumption（消耗）and pollution including electric power, steel and paper manufacturing equipment. Advanced and water-saving technology will be introduced to new industrial projects in the capital city.
Grain-growing areas will be reduced to save ground water and more trees will be planted. Animal breeding and other “high efficient” agriculture with modern water-saving irrigation methods will be developed.
It is said that water used in agriculture will drop to 35 percent of the city's water consumption in 2010 from 43 percent in 1998,and the figure will continue to drop to 28~30 percent in 2020. Beijing will increase the speed of renovation（修复）of its urban water supply equipment. It is reported that more than 15 percent of water is lost during distribution（分布）. Water saving equipment and efficient management can save Beijing more than 537 million cubic meters by 2010.
Shanghai still faces key problems connected with its water resources and environments. Since 1998, the city has invested nearly US $ 169 million to treat its rivers, especially Suzhou Creek. The city's rivers have become noticeably clearer since putting it into action.
The government will provide a further US $ 24 million for the treatment of rivers and US $ 12 million to treat sewage（污物）.
This year's task is to improve the water quality at the three ports of Longhua, Yangshupa and Hongkou. Another emphasis to raise the water system is Songjiang New Area with a project worth US $ 4.8 million. Efforts will be made to improve public awareness about the need to protect water resources.
(1) How many measures has Beijing taken to save water and protect water resources?
[ ]
(2) Grain-growing areas in Beijing will be reduced because __________.
[ ]
A．grain can't fetch a good price in China
B．a lot of ground water will be saved by this means
C．Beijing helps to develop advanced industry
D．highly effective agriculture needs less farmland
(3) Beijing can save over 537 million cubic meters by 2010 by means of __________.
A．water-saving equipment
B．effective management
C．artificial rain fall
D．reducing water pollution
[ ]
解析：

(1) 短文第二段和第三段各讲了两种措施，第四段又讲了一种，一共讲了五种节水和保护水源的方法。(2) 短文第三段首句中Grain-growing areas will be reduced to save ground water说明，减少粮食种植面积的目的是为了节约地下水。(3) 从短文第四段最后一句Water-saving equipment and efficient management can save Beijng more than 537 million cubic metres by 2010．可以看出，借助于节水设备和有效的管理，北京可节省5亿3千7百万以上立方米的水。 |
