The quality of drinking water in Shanghai will meet European Union standard by 2010 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, and official with the water authority, said Shanghai’s water consumption 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 ambitions. They will not be easy to achieve.”

He said water saving will help keep the sustainable 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 employment of new technology.

 “The aim is to arouse public awareness of the seriousness of water shortages,” Chen said. “The abundant 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 nearing exhaustion.

The city, therefore, has been exploring new sources from the Yangtze River and growing forests along it to conserve quality water.

Besides penning regulations, 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 conservation.

Another task the city is engaged in is the treatment of sewage(污水)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 sewage treatment factories are to be established with an estimated investment of 18 billion Yuan.

1.People in Shanghai get their daily water mainly from         now.

A.the underground         B.the rain

C.the Yangtze River         D.the Huangpu River

2.According to the passage, some people have the wrong opinion of using water because      .

A.the renovating of family toilets will save plenty of water

B.about half of waste water has been treated already

C.advanced technology makes people use water as much as possible

D.there is plenty surface water and large amount of rain at present

3.The authority is renovating the first 200 toilets for households to          .

A.make people’s living more convenient

B.improve people’s living standards

d.speed the economic development of Shanghai

e.renovate some family toilets        f.build more sewage treatment factories

A.a, b, c, d      B.b, c, e, f       C.b, c, d, e      D.a, b, e, f

认真阅读下面短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。

(注意:每空只填一个单词。)

  Many animal and plant species have become extinct and many more are in critical danger.

  Dodos

  The Dodo is a classic example of how human caused damage to the earth’s biology.The flightless Dodo was native to the Island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean.The easily controlled bird became a source of food for sailors and was attacked by animals introduced to the island by humans such as pigs, monkeys and rats.The population of Dodos rapidly decreased and last one was killed in 1681.

  Rhinos(犀牛)

  The Rhino horn is a highly prized item for Asian medicine.This has led to the animal being hunted in its natural habitat.Once widespread in Africa and Eurasia, most rhinos now live in protected natural parks and reserves.Their numbers have rapidly decreased in the last 50 years, and the animals remain under constant threat from poachers(偷猎者).

  The Giant Panda

  The future of the Giant Panda is far from certain.As few as 1, 000 remain in the wild.The Chinese government has set up 33 panda reserves to protect these beautiful animals.However, the panda’s distinct black and white patched coat fetches a high price on the black market and determined poachers still pose(造成)one of the most serious threats to the animals continued existence.

  Whales

  Despite the fact that one-third of the world’s oceans have been declared whale reserves, 7 out of 13 whale species remain endangered.Hunted for their rich supply of oil, their numbers have decreased to just 300.Collisions with ships, poisonous pollution and being caught in fishing nets are other major causes of whale deaths.

  Tigers

  The last 100 years has seen a 95% reduction in the numbers of remaining tigers to between 5,000 and 7,000 and the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers are already extinct.The South China tiger is precariously close to disappearing, with only 20 to 30 still alive.Like the Rhino horn, tigers’ bones and organs are sought after for traditional Chinese medicines.These items are traded illegally along with tiger skins.
