Our Earth is a blue planet. About 71 percent of the planet is water, but people can only use a small amount of it. Only about 3 percent of the world's water is fresh water.

【解析】

現(xiàn)在水資源的浪費(fèi)問題使水短缺的問題更加嚴(yán)重，我們都知道水是重要的資源，那么如何保護(hù)水資源，減少浪費(fèi)呢？這篇短文中介紹了不同國家的人們是如何節(jié)約用水的。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文第一段中Only about 3 percent of the world's water is fresh water.可知，世界上的水只有3%是淡水。由此可知應(yīng)選B。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)劃線代詞it所在的語境According to the UN, wastewater problems make water shortages (短缺) even more serious. Our homes, cities and factories make wastewater every day. It pollutes rivers and lakes.“廢水問題使水短缺更加嚴(yán)重，我們的家、城市、工作每天都制造廢水，它污染了河流和湖泊”。由此可知it代指的上句話提到的wastewater，故應(yīng)選D。

【3】詞義猜測題。notes筆記；rules規(guī)則；ways方式；problems問題。根據(jù)下文的介紹可知，文章中介紹的是不同國家的人們節(jié)約用水的方法，故tips意為“方法”，與ways同義，故選C。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文最后一段People in Germany collect rainwater to save water. Most new houses have a rainwater collection device (設(shè)備). The device collects rainwater from the roof (屋頂), and then sends it to the toilet.可知，德國人收集雨水用于沖廁所。故應(yīng)選A。

【5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第三段In Australia most people have a grass lawn (草坪) around their home. They wash their cars on the lawn. The water will go to the grass!可知，澳大利亞的大多數(shù)人在草坪上洗車，這樣洗過車的水可以用來澆草地。由此可知B選項(xiàng)敘述與原文相反，選B。
