五、（2024·苏州模拟改编）任务型阅读。〔人与自然——节约资源〕
Daisy was in the bathroom of her flat. She was brushing her teeth and the tap（水龙头）was on. Water was coming into the sink.
“Turn that tap off,” a voice said loudly. Daisy looked round, but saw no one. “Turn that tap off. You’re wasting water,” the voice said again.
“Who . . . who are you?” “I’m water. It’s not easy for me to get here. Do you know where I’m from?”
“From the tap, of course,” said Daisy.
“Yes, yes, but before that?” the voice said. “24 days ago, I was in a cloud in Jiangxi, enjoying the sights comfortably. Then the cloud dropped me into a stream and I ran down the mountain into the Yangtze River. It carried me to a lake. I stayed there for a few days, and then I travelled a long way and ran into the Huangpu River. Then it was time to get cleaned up. ”
“Cleaned up?” Daisy was surprised.
“Yes. I was dirty after my journey so they took me to a water factory. They cleaned me up and added a few chemicals（化学品）to me. Then I travelled in the pipes under the streets. I waited there until you called me, and here I am. ”
Daisy said, “So this is the end of your journey. ”
“No. When you’ve finished with me, I’ll go to a sewage plant（污水处理厂）. Then they’ll pour me into the river and I’ll be back in the sea again. ”
“Again?”
“Yes. That’s where I came from in the first place. Remember not to waste me or make me dangerously dirty. I’m precious（珍贵的）like gold. See you. ”
“Wait a minute. What do you mean by saying that?” But there was no answer. The water left.
