每年的3月22日是世界水日，这个日子是提醒人们注意保护水资源，因为现在水资源短缺已经成为了一个严重的问题。短文中通过举例子给我们阐述了这一问题。

【1】句意：它的目标是让人们和政府想起我们最宝贵的资源之一。根据句意可知，这句话介绍设立世界水日的目标，有了这个日子，我们就能够想起水资源的宝贵。故应选B，think about，意为“考虑，想起”。

【2】句意：你能想象没有了水世界是什么样的吗？根据上文可知，水资源是非常重要的，因此我们无法想象一个没有水的世界。故这里应选E，without意为“没有”。

【3】句意：现在我们正面临越来越多的环境危机，例如水污染和水资源短缺。根据文意可知，环境危机越来越多，故这里应用increasing日益增多的，渐增的。

【4】句意：必须马上采取措施节约和保护水。根据上文的文意可知，水资源短缺已经成为了一个严重的问题，因此需要马上采取措施，故这里填immediately，意为“立刻，马上”。
