10.In the US and Britain,the slogan around colleges was"Save water.Shower with a friend."Now,Wuhan University has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse.It charges students for the amount of time in a shower.Before entering the bathhouse,students pay for the amount of time they want in the shower with cash or their student ID card.The clock starts ticking the minute and the tap is turned on.It pauses when a button is pressed for soap.An integrated circuit(IC) card reader at each tap shows the time.No money,no water.The benefits of the new sysem can be seen with the old system,which charged 1Yuan for each person regardless of time in the shower.The university used about 320tons of water daily under the old system,but only 160tons now.Many students use the new system but opinions on it are divided.Some students say it is bad because bathing had become a sort of race.Many people using it for the first time are not sure how long they need to shower.Some might be embarrassed if their time is up and they're still covered in soap.They have to ask the bathhouse worker to help them buy extra time.
"It's a flaw in the system that you can not buy extra time on the ID card,"said Ren,a freshman in Wuhan University.The university is also considering some students'suggestions that they be allowed to pay after they've finished the shower.Not surprisingly,some are complaining about losing the hour shower.But many students say the move helps them develop a water-saving sense.
Without the time limits,most students tended to shower for 30to an hour in the bathhouse.Some even used the hot water to wash their clothes."In my experience,10-20minutes is enough,"said Dai Zhihua,a third-year student who usually takes 8minutes.
A similar system has been installed in other universities.Shanghai Normal University introduced it at its Fengxiang Campus in September.The bathing fee thee is 0.2Yuan per minute.One male student responded by setting a record with a two-minute shower.

分析 本文是一篇说明文,文章主要讲的是武汉大学为增加学生节约用水的意识而对洗澡采取的一种新措施:洗澡按时计费.学生们在洗澡前;用现金或学生身份证来支付想要洗澡时间的费用.学生对这种新体制的做法观点是不一样的.一些学生认为这样不舒服,洗澡像比赛一样.有些学生抱怨这样做也有弊端,用身份证不能买到额外的时间来洗澡,应该在洗澡完后再付费才合理.但也有学生认为这样做法能帮助形成节约用水的理念.
解答 28-31 BADC
28题答案:B考查词义猜测,根据后面的that you can not buy extra time on the ID card.(在ID卡上你无法买到额外的时间)可知横线单词意为"不足;缺陷",故本题答案为B选项.
29题答案:A考查细节推理,根据文章第一段的The university used about 320tons of water daily under the old system,but only 160tons now.(在旧的系统之下大学每天要使用大约320吨水,但是现在仅需要160吨)可知新的系统可以节约"一半"的水,故本题答案为A选项.
30题答案:D考查细节推理,根据第一段中的"In the US and Britain,the slogan around colleges was"Save water.Shower with a friend."Now,Wuhan University has come up with another system for the campus bathhouse."(在美国和英国,大学里的宣传口号是"节约用水,与朋友一起淋浴".现在武汉大学已经为大学浴室想出了另外的一套系统)可知,大学这些做法都是为了增加学生节约用水的意识,故本题答案为D选项.
31题答案:C考查细节推理,纵观全文可知,文章主要讲的是大学就洗澡问题采取的新举措.因此应该是"校园生活"符合语境,故本题答案为C选项.
