6.[1]As a distinguished Indian painter and author,Aabid has written around 80books but no story so shocked him as the truth about water shortage on the planet,"A UN report says by 2025more than 40countries are expected tobe short of water.That shortage of water will be the end of civilized life,"he said with great worry.[2]One day back in 2007,he was sitting in a friend's house and noticed a leaky tap.It bothered him.A few days later,he came across a statistic in the newspaper:a tap that drips(滴落)once every second wastes a thousand litres of water in a month.That triggered an idea.He would take a plumber(水管工)from door to door and fix taps for free every weekend.
[3]He named his Non-governmental Organization‘Drop Dead'and created a slogan:save every drop…or drop dead.
[4]By the end of the first year,he had visited l,533homes and fixed around 400taps.Slowly,the news began to spread.Local newspapers began to write about Drop Dead,which caused a further flood of grateful emails and messages.Conservatively,it could be estimated that he has saved at least 5.5m litres of water till date.
[5]In the summer of 2014,the state where Aabid lives is expecting its worst drought in 40years.Months in advance,the govemment has prepareddrought-relief packages worth millions of dollars,but Aabid sees his own approach as simple and inexpensive."Anyone can launch a water conservation project in his or her area.It doesn't require much funding.And most importantly,it puts the power back in our own hands,"he says.

分析 印度一个著名的画家兼作家写了80多本书,表达了水的短缺将使人类文明的生活终结.
解答 156.experience/suffer/have/face water shortage/crisis Or:be short of water/run short of water/lack water/be lacking in water 根据第一段提到That shortage of water will be the end of civilized life,这种水的短缺是文明生活的结果.所以可以得知上句话提到的联合国报道,到2025年有40个国家可能会面对水短缺问题.故用experience/suffer/have/face water shortage/crisis
157.To help save water./To save every drop of water.根据第二段提到a tap that drips(滴落)once every second wastes a thousand litres of water in a month.That triggered an idea.He would take a plumber(水管工)from door to door and fix taps for free every weekend.他看到一个报道说,水龙头每秒滴落的水一月有数升,他请来水管工,挨家挨户免费修水管,为是节约用水,所以答案是To help save water./To save every drop of water
158.That started/caused/led to/brought about an idea.Or:An idea occurred to him.根据第二段所提到的,水龙头每秒滴落的水一月有数升,所以他产生一个想法,免费修水管,来节约用水,故他突然想到一个好主意,故填写That started/caused/led to/brought about an idea.Or:An idea occurred to him
159.The achievements and influence of Aabid's water-saving project.根据第四段在叙述在第一年时,他修了400个水龙头,慢慢地消息开始传开,当地报纸开始报道这件事,产生很大的影响,他节约很多的水,所以在讲他节约用水的成就与影响,故填写The achievements and influence of Aabid's water-saving project.
160.Simple and inexpensive.根据最后一段提到Months in advance,the govemment has prepareddrought-relief packages worth millions of dollars,but Aabid sees his own approach as simple and inexpensive.可知他的想法是十分简单和成本低的,.
