Lilan was in the bathroom. The tap was on. As she brushed her teeth, she thought about going swimming with her friends and ...
“Turn that tap off,” said an angry voice suddenly. “You’re wasting water.” Lilan turned the tap off and looked around, but there was no one there. “Who are you?”
“I’m Dripple, and I’m a drop(滴）of water. Do you know where I come from?”
“From the tap?” asked Lilan.
“Well, yes, but a few days ago, I was in a cloud,” said Dripple. “Then the wind pushed the cloud up a mountain. When the cloud cooled down, it started raining. I became one of the raindrops.”
“How did you come into my house then, Dripple?”
“I fell into a river and finally ended up in a reservoir(水库). Then I went to a special place. There, people cleaned me and added some chemicals(化学品）to me.”
“They cleaned you? Why?” Lilan asked.
“Because I was a bit dirty. Then I travelled through the pipes under the streets and now I’m here,” Dripple explained.
“So is this the end of your journey?” Lilan asked.
“No. People will clean me one more time. Then I’ll go into a river, and after that, I’ll return into the sea again.”
“Again?”
“Yes. My trip back to the clouds starts there. Remember not to waste or pollute me. I’m precious.”
“I’m sorry, Dripple!” Lilan came out of the bathroom and rushed to her study. She wanted to tell her diary about this at once.

本文主要讲述了一滴水从云层到水龙头，再回到云层的旅程，并提醒人们珍惜水资源。
1. C 细节理解题。根据第五段中“... a few days ago, I was in a cloud ... one of the raindrops.”可知，Dripple在成为雨滴之前来自被风吹动的云。
2. A 推理判断题。根据第九段中“Because I was a bit dirty.”和常识可知，人们清洁水是为了让水干净可饮用。
3. D 词义猜测题。根据上文中“Remember not to waste or pollute me.”可知，Dripple强调水不可浪费或污染，说明水具有重要价值。因此precious意为“珍贵的”，与选项D意思相近。
4. C 标题概括题。文章通过Dripple(一滴水)的视角，讲述了它从云变成雨滴、进入水库、被净化、通过管道进入家庭并最终将通过河流和海洋再次回到云层的循环过程，选项C最能概括全文内容。
