Passage C
实际用时: minutes
Read the passage and then choose the right answers.
The world is not only hungry, but also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70% of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97% of that is seawater, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3%— the fresh water from rivers, lakes, groundwater, and other sources. And we cannot 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 only in this way can we get away from a serious world wide water shortage later on.
We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer. From there it returns to the sea or runs into underground places.
But even if every large city reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we have to do to make use of seawater in the world is to remove the salt. If we take these steps, we'll be in no danger of drying up.

解析
【分析】
本题是英语阅读理解题，围绕水资源短缺主题设置5道题，涵盖句意理解、细节理解、词义猜测等题型。解题思路为：1. 先通读全文，把握文章主旨（全球水资源现状及解决措施）；2. 针对每道题，根据题型特点解题：细节题需定位原文对应语句，词义题结合上下文语境推断，句意题分析词语的引申义而非字面义；3. 逐一排除错误选项，确定正确答案。
【解析】
1. 句意理解题：划线句中“hungry”并非指生理饥饿，而是引申为“食物资源不足”，“thirsty for water”指“对水资源的需求”，整句核心是食物和水无法满足世界人民的需求。选项A“几乎没有”过于绝对；选项B“越来越少”偏离句意；选项D“所有人都饥渴”是字面理解，不符合语境，故选C。
2. 细节理解题：定位第一段“nearly 70% of the earth's surface is covered with water”，可知陆地占比为30%，选项A正确；选项B第一段未提及“不够”，仅说明淡水占比少；选项C“每天喝3%”与原文不符；选项D“现在用海水”与原文“目前不用海水”矛盾，故选A。
3. 词义猜测题：结合第二段“our need for water is becoming larger and larger quickly”及“get away from a serious world wide water shortage”，可知“shortage”意为“短缺，不足”，选项A“所需物品不足”符合；选项B“身高矮”、C“使变短”、D“短寿命”均与语境无关，故选A。
4. 细节理解题：定位第三段“develop ways of reusing it”和第四段“make use of seawater... remove the salt”，可知提到两种解决方法，故选B。
5. 细节理解题：定位第四段“make use of seawater in the world is to remove the salt”，可知去除海水的盐就能获得大量淡水，选项B正确；选项A、C、D均与原文不符，故选B。
