Question

10．The quality of drinking water in Shanghai will meet European Union standard soon and，a decade later，citizens in Shanghai will drink the best water in the world．
These were the goals set out by the Shanghai Water Authority．With the city's population expected to increase only slightly and the economy to boom by 2020，Chen Yin，an official with the water authority，said Shanghai's water use will not increase from its present amount．
Zhang Yue，director of the Urban Construction Division under the Ministry of Construction，said，"Shanghai is the first city in the country to publicize these goals．They will not be easy to achieve．"
He said water saving will help keep the sustainable（可持续的） development of China's economy．
Saving one cubic meter of water means saving the city's infrastructure（基础设施）costs by 10，000 Yuan．Last year，Shanghai saved 300 million cubic meters of water either from readjustment of industrial structure or the use of new technology．
"The aim is to arouse public awareness of the seriousness of water shortages，"Chen said．"The rich surface water and amount of rain of the city are so misleading that they result in improper use of water．"
Shanghai lacks drinkable water．The Huangpu River，which supplies 80 percent of the city's drinkable water，is drying up．
The city，therefore，has been exploring new sources from the Yangtze River and growing forests along it to hold quality water．
Besides，the authority is popularizing technology among the public to efficiently cut the amount of water used．
At present，the city has 600，000 family toilets，each using 13 liters of water per flush．These are to be renovated（整修）to use only 9 liters of water per flush．
The authority is renovating the first 200 toilets for households-at a cost of 40 Yuan each．
In three years，all the toilets will be renovated，which saves the city nearly 15 million Yuan every year in water use．
Another task is the treatment of the waste water to improve the water environment．
At present the city can only treat 44  percent of its daily 5.04 million tons of waste water．To meet the total demand，27 more treatment factories are to be set up with an estimated investment of 18 billion Yuan．
32．Some people in Shanghai use water improperly becauseA．
 A．the rich surface water and large amount of rain mislead them
 B．their family toilets can save plenty of water
 C．the waste water has already been treated
 D．new technology provide people with water as much as possible
33．The authority begins to renovate the toilets for households toB．
 A．make people live more conveniently
 B．meet people's need of water
 C．make people's living standards better
 D．reduce employment pressure
34．Which of the following measures are all mentioned in the passage to save water？
D
a．Introducing or using some new technology．
b．Improving drinking water quality．
c．Changing some industrial structure．
d．Renovating some family toilets．
e．Building more waste water treatment factories．
f．Speeding the economic development of Shanghai．
A．a，b，c，d   B．b，c，e，f  C．b，c，d，e   D．a，c，d，e
35．We can infer from the passage thatC．
A．Shanghai will need a much larger amount of water in the future
B．people in Shanghai can drink the best water in the world today
C．not all the people in Shanghai today know water shortage
D．all the family toilets will be renovated to save water in 3 years．

Answer 1

分析 本文以新闻报道的形式介绍了上海的饮水问题．大量的地表水和城市大量的降水错误的引导了上海人不恰当的用水．通过产业结构调整、新技术的使用、厕所改造和建设更多的污水处理厂可以节约水．

解答 32．A 细节理解题．根据第六段"The aim is to arouse public awareness of the seriousness of water shortages，"Chen said．"The rich surface water and amount of rain of the city are so misleading that they result in improper use of water．"可知大量的地表水和城市大量的降水错误的引导了人们不恰当的用水．故选A．
33．B 细节推理题．根据第十段At present，the city has 600，000 family toilets，each using 13 liters of water per flush．These are to be renovated（整修）to use only 9 liters of water per flush．可知厕所改造后节约了用水量，从而满足了人们对水的需求．故选B．
34．D 理解判断题．根据第五段Last year，Shanghai saved 300 million cubic meters of water either from readjustment of industrial structure or the use of new technology．可知产业结构调整和新技术的使用能节约水；根据文章最后可知，厕所改造和建设更多的污水处理厂也能节约水．故选D．
35．C 细节理解题．通过阅读短文我们可以知道现在不是每个上海人都知道水资源短缺问题．故选C．
