It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with waterwhile we say we are short of (短缺) water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water whichwe can't drink or use for watering plants directly (直接地) . Man can only drink and use the 3% - the waterthat comes from rivers and lakes. And we can't even use all of that, because some of it has been polluted (污染) .Now more water is needed. The problem is: Can we avoid (避免) a serious water shortage later on?First,we should all learn how to save water. Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it . Scientists havealways been making studies in the field. Today, in most large cities water is used only once and then runs tothe sea or rivers . But it can be used again. Even if (即使) every large city reused its water, still there wouldnot be enough. What could people turn to next?The sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea. All that needs to be done is toget the salt out of the sea water. This is expensive, but it's already used in many parts of the world. Scientistsare trying to find a cheaper way of doing it. So you see, if we can find a way out, we'll be in no danger ofdrying up.1 . The world is thirsty because ________. ) (A. 3/4 of the earth is covered with waterB. we have enough sea water to use directlyC. we haven't used all the water in rivers and lakesD. about 97% of water on the earth can't be drunk or used for watering plants directly2.

The Polluted WaterBOn Nov.18th,1908,three men went up in a balloon（气球）.They started early in London. The headmanwas Augusta Gaudron, and the other two men were Tannar and Maitland. They had a big balloon and theywere ready for a long way.Soon they heard the sea. They were carrying the usual rope（绳子）,and it was hanging down from the basket of the balloon. At the end of the rope they had tied a metal box. This could hold water, or it could beempty. So they were able to change its weight（重量）.It was for use over the sea. They were also carryingsome bags of sand.After the sun rose, the balloon went higher. It went up to 3,000 metres, and the air was very cold. The water in the balloon became ice. Snow fell past the men's basket, and they could see more snow on the ground.The men tried to throw out some more sand; but it was hard. They tried to break the icy sand with their knives,but it was not easy. The work was slow and they were still falling, so they had to drop some whole bags ofsand. One of them fell on an icy lake and made a black hole in the ice.At last they pulled the box into the basket. It was still snowing; so they climbed to get away from the snow. They rose to 5,100 metres! Everything became icy. They were so cold that they decided to land. Theycame down in Poland heavily but safely. They had travelled 1,797 kilometers from London!1.

The metal box was used for ________. ) (A. carrying the bags of sandB. keeping drinking-waterC. carrying ropes of the basketD. changing weight 。
