Question

【题目】请认真阅读下列短文，根据所读内容在文章后表格中第 56-65 小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，并将答案填写在答题卡标号为 56-65 的相应横线上。注意：每个空格只填 1 个单词。

In 1993 the UN decided that March 22nd is the World Water Day. On this day every year, countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water and that clean water is something everyone must have around the world.

The human body is 60% of water and we need to drink lots of water to be healthy. We also need water for cooking. We have toilets in our houses and when we brush our teeth or have a shower, we use the bathroom. Farmers, who produce the food we eat, use water to make the plants grow.

We are lucky enough to have clean water whenever ( 无 论 何 时 ) we want, but this is not the case for many

people around the world. Do you know the fact that around 750 million people do not have clean water to drink? And do you know that 2.5 billion people do not have clean toilets? That’s about 1 in 3 people in the world.

If we drink dirty water or we can’t wash our hands when we go to the toilet, it is easy to catch diseases from the bacteria (细菌) and become ill. Every year over 500,000 children die from diarrhoea (腹泻) from dirty water. In some countries children walk many kilometers every day to get water and sometimes the water isn’t even clean! If children walk many hours a day to get water, they can’t go to school.

For World Water Day, some people in the UK walk, run or cycle 10 km, others climb mountains or even jump from a plane to the ground. At one school children walk 6 km with 6 liters of water so they can see how it feels to walk a long distance (距离) carrying heavy bottles of water. People give them money for doing these things and all the money helps get clean water to as many people as possible around the world.

【解析】

水对于我们人类及日常生活非常重要，世界水日使人们知道了脏水的问题以及认识到干净水的重要性，但是世界上还有很多的人因为喝不到干净的水而生病死亡，因此一些人组织了一些活动进行筹钱，希望让更多的人喝到干净水。

【1】根据句中“On this day every year, countries around the world hold events to educate people about the problems of dirty water and that clean water is something everyone must have around the world. 每年的这一天，世界各国都会举办各种活动，向人们传授有关脏水问题的知识，而且世界各地每个人都必须拥有干净的水。”，可知世界水日是人们知道脏水的问题并意识到干净水的重要性，“重要性”为importance，故填importance。

【2】根据第二段“The human body is 60% of water and we need to drink lots of water to be healthy. 人体60%是水，我们需要喝大量的水来保持健康。”，可知我们喝水来保持健康，“保持健康”为keep healthy/fit，故填healthy/fit。

【3】根据句中“We also need water for cooking. 我们做饭也需要水。”，可知做饭用到水，“做饭”为cook meals，故填cook。

【4】根据句中“Farmers, who produce the food we eat, use water to make the plants grow. 农民们，他们生产我们吃的食物，利用水使植物生长。”，可知农民们用水种植植物，“种植”为grow，故填grow。

【5】根据句中“Do you know the fact that around 750 million people do not have clean water to drink? 你知道大约7.5亿人没有干净的水喝这个事实吗?”，可知本栏中是关于水的事实真相，“事实真相”为fact/truth，故填fact(s) / truth。

【6】根据句中“Do you know the fact that around 750 million people do not have clean water to drink? 你知道大约7.5亿人没有干净的水喝这个事实吗?”，可知上百万的人没有干净水喝，“上百万的”为millions of，故填Millions。

【7】根据句中“If we drink dirty water or we can’t wash our hands when we go to the toilet, it is easy to catch diseases from the bacteria and become ill. 如果我们喝脏水，或者上厕所时不能洗手，很容易从细菌（细胞）中感染疾病并生病。”，可知喝脏水后很容易得病，因为要修饰动词短语become ill，所以要用easy的副词形式easily，故填easily。

【8】根据句中“In some countries children walk many kilometers every day to get water and sometimes the water isn’t even clean! If children walk many hours a day to get water, they can’t go to school. 在一些国家，孩子们每天走很多公里去取水，有时水甚至不干净！如果孩子们一天走几个小时去喝水，他们就不能上学了。”，可知孩子们必须步行去取水而不是去上学，“而不是，代替”为instead of，故填instead。

【9】根据句中“People give them money for doing these things and all the money helps get clean water to as many people as possible around the world. 人们给他们做这些事情的钱，所有的钱帮助世界上尽可能多的人获得清洁的水。”，可知要组织一些活动筹钱，“活动”为events / activities，故填Events / Activities。

【10】根据句中“At one school children walk 6 km with 6 liters of water so they can see how it feels to walk a long distance carrying heavy bottles of water. 在一所学校里，孩子们带着6升水走6公里，这样他们就可以看到带着沉重的水瓶走一段长距离（距离）的感觉。”，可知孩子们带着沉重的水瓶走很远的路，“远的”为far，故填far。
