【題目】任務(wù)型閱讀
Look! People are gathering to get water from a huge well in the village of Natwarghad in the western Indian state of Gujarat! ①Because of the large population on the earth, the world is ________hungry, it is ______be thirsty for water now. The world's population has reached 7 billion. And it could possible grow to 15 billion by the year 2100.
②On the other hand, about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can't drink or use for watering plants directly. Man can only drink or use the other 3% of fresh water which comes from rivers, lakes and underground. And we can't even use all of that, because some of them has been polluted.
Now more water is needed. The problem is: can we avoid a serious water shortage later on? Firstly, we should all learn how to save water. Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it. Today, in most large cities water is used only once, but it can be used again .Even if every large city reuse its water, still there would not be enough. What could people turn to next?
The sea seems to have the best answer. The sea is very big. Look at the map of the world, there is more sea than land. It covers three quarters of the earth. All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water. Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it. So you see,③如果我們可以找出解決方法，我們就不會(huì)有干涸（dry up）的危險(xiǎn)。

【解析】文章大意：本文主要介紹了隨著地球上人口的增加，地球上的人們面臨著缺水的危機(jī)。現(xiàn)在人們正在想法解決這一難題。
（1）根據(jù)Because of the large population on the earth,可知地球上的人口數(shù)量巨大，因此需要很多水和食物，故此處表示世界不僅饑餓，而且需要很多水，故此處為① not only ② but also/also
（2）On the other hand另一方面， on the earth 地球上， we can't drink or use for watering plants directly我們不能直接喝它和澆灌植物.故此處的意思為：另一方面，在地球上大約百分之九十七的水是海水，我們不能直接地喝它或是用來澆灌植物。
（3）根據(jù)about 97% of water on the earth is sea water可知地球上海水占97%，故選C。
（4）如果我們可以找出解決方法，我們就不會(huì)有干涸（dry up）的危險(xiǎn)。find a way out找出解決方法，be in no danger of doing sth“沒有做某事的危險(xiǎn)”,dry up干涸。If引導(dǎo)的條件狀語從句用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)，主句用一般將來時(shí)，故此處為If we can find a way out, we'll be in no danger of drying up.
（5）本文主要介紹地球上人口越來越多，地球上的水資源短缺，因此主要概括為地球是一個(gè)缺水的星球，故選D。
