Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger£¬but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways.You may wonder how paving(ÆÌÆö) a road can lead to less useable fresh water. A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers.It comes from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave£¬the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.

Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages (¶Ìȱ). Driver climates are of course more likely to have droughts(¸Éºµ) than areas with more rainfall£¬but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.

Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference£¬too.In the United States£¬a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day ! This shows how much we depend on water to live £¬but there's a lot we can do to lower the number.

You can take steps to save water in your home.To start with£¬use the same glass for your drinking water all day.Wash it only once a day.Run your dishwasher (Ï´Íë»ú)only when it is full.Help your parents fix any leaks in your home. You can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.

5£®Which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater ?

A£®Using river water.

B£®Throwing batteries away.

C£®Paving parking lots.

D£®Throwing rubbish into lakes.

6£®What can be inferred from the text ?

A£®All water shortages are due to human behavior.

B£®It takes a lot of effort to meet our water needs.

C£®There is much we can do to reduce family size.

D£®The average family in America makes proper use of water.

7£®The last paragraph is intended to________.

A£®show us how to fix leaks at home

B£®tell us how to run a dishwasher

C£®prove what drinking glass is best for us

D£®suggest what we do to save water at home

8£®The text is mainly about________.

A£®why paving roads reduces our water

B£®how much we depend on water to live

C£®why droughts occur more in dry climates

D£®how human activity affects our water supply

The organization representing British universities has expressed concern about the potential effect of tuition fees (ѧ·Ñ) after figures showed a drop of more than 6% in student applications with less than a month to go before the deadline for 2013 applications.

Data from the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (Ucas) showed there were 265,784 university applications by UK£­based candidates up to 17 December,6.3% down on the parallel period in the admissions cycle the year before.While this is less than the 8.4% year¡Mon¡Myear fall seen in earlier Ucas figures£¬released in mid£­November£¬the coming January deadline makes it ever more likely that the total 2013 applicant figure will see a second sizeable fall following the introduction of annual fees of up to ¡ê9,000.xk|b|1

Nicola Dandridge£¬the chairman of Universities UK£¬said£º¡°However£¬we must be concerned about any drops in the numbers applying to university and in particular£¬we must look closely at how the increase in graduate contributions in England may be affecting the decisions of promising students.However£¬the December figures show a drop in numbers across the UK£¬suggesting that it is not only a question of tuition fees in England putting off from applying.¡±

A report of the Ucas figures to mid December shows a 6.5% fall for applicants in England and 11.7% for those in Wales£¬with smaller drops of 3.9% for Scotland and 0.5% for Northern Ireland.Scottish students at home institutions pay on fees£¬while those from Northern Ireland have fees capped to ¡ê3,575 for Northern Irish universities.

Dandridge added£º¡°No one should be put off applying to university because of worries about finance.¡±

¡°It is important that no one is put off applying to university because they do not have information about the student support available to them.Most new students don't need to pay directly.There will be more financial support for those from poorer families and everyone will make lower loan repayments than they do now once they are in well paid jobs.¡±

9£®A drop of more than 6% for 2013 applications is probably the effect of ________.

A£®the increased tuition fees

B£®the approaching deadline

C£®the concern from applicants

D£®the difficulties with applications

10£®Compared with the previous year£¬the fall in student applications is ________.

A£®3.9% B£®6% C£®6.3% D£®8.4%

11£®Why is the fall for application the smallest in Scotland and Northern Ireland?

A£®Because they have more financial support.

B£®Because the tuition is much cheaper for them.

C£®Because the education is better there.

D£®Because the universities are free for them.

12£®Which of the following is true?

A£®The application for universities is on a rise continuously.

B£®The fall for applications is due to family problems.

C£®The education in Scotland and Northern Ireland is worse.

D£®The rise of tuition fees has an effect on applications.
