B（2025·苏州高新区模拟）
Water is one of the most important substances（物质）on Earth. Without water，humans，animals and even plants would die. About 70 per cent of our body weight is water. We could live for a month or more without food，but we could live for only three or four days without water.
How much water do animals and plants need? A human may need 2 liters（升）per day，a cow needs 135 liters per day and a large tree requires 400 liters a day.
How do we people use water? We drink water. We wash our bodies，our clothes and many other things with water. The foods we eat have water in them，and all our drinks are largely water. We use water to cook many of our foods，and we use water for different activities，such as boating，swimming and fishing.
Plants need water to live just like we do. Plants use their roots to absorb water from the soil. The crops need water to grow. In some places where there is little rain and the land is dry，farmers bring water from rivers，lakes and wells to their fields. It's called irrigation（灌溉）. Some crops need more water to grow than others. Rice and cotton，for example，need lots of water，while olives and oranges need only a little.
Animals also need water to live. The animals that provide us with meat，milk and eggs need large amounts of clean water to drink. Water is also home to millions of plants and animals，including the fish we eat.
Some industries use water to cool hot substances or the moving parts of machines. Water also helps to produce most of our electricity（电）. In hydroelectric power stations（水电站）fast - flowing river water is used to drive turbines that produce electricity.
Water is used to make many kinds of food and many of the things we see or use every day.
