70% of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97% of that is sea water, or salt water. Man can
only drink and use the other 3%-fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources (资源).
But we cannot even use all of that.
However, our need for water is becoming larger almost day by day. We should take steps (措施) to deal
with (对付; 处理) this problem now and in this way we can avoid (避免) a serious worldwide water shortage
later on.
We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop (开发;
发展) ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer
system (下水道). From there it returns to the sea or runs into underground places.
But even if (即使) every large city reused its water, we still would not have enough.
All we have to do, to make use of (利用) sea water in the world, is to remove (去除) the salt. But it is not
an easy thing.
B: we haven't got enough fresh water.
C: only 70% of the earth's surface is water.
D: more water is sent into sewer system.
B: rare (稀罕)
C: cheap and useful
D: much and helpful
(a) Make full use of the sea water.
(b) Carry salt water into lakes or rivers.
(c) Try to save the fresh water as much as possible.
(d) Do our best to use the water again.
(e) Drink and use all the water on the earth's surface.
B: (a) and (d)
C: (a), (c) and (d)
D: (b), (d) and (e)
B: make the water in the cities clean
C: take water from underground
D: make the need for water smaller
B: We Should Make Steps to Deal with the Water Problem
C: The World's Water Problem
D: The Fresh Water Is Still Enough
The world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since

water. Man can only drink and use the other 3%-the fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and
other sources. And we can not even use all of that. Even worse, some of it has been made dirty.?
However, as things stand today, this fresh water is still enough for us. But our need for water is
becoming larger and larger quickly-almost day by day. We should take steps to do with this problem
now and in this way we can get away from a serious worldwide water shortage (缺少) later on.?
