Passage
4
Humanity uses a little less than half the water available worlide.Yet occurrences
of shortages and droughts(干旱) are causing famine and distress in some areas,and industrial and agriculturalbyproducts are polluting water supplies.Since the
world's population is expected to double in the next 50 years,many experts think we are on the edge of a widespread water crisis.
But that doesn't have to be the outcome.Water shortages don't have to trouble the world—if we start valuing water more than we have in the past.Just as we began to appreciate petroleum more after the 1970s oil crises,today
we must start
looking at water from a fresh economic perspective.We can no longer afford to consider water a virtually free resource of which we can use as much aswe like in any way we want. Instead,for
all uses except the domestic
demand of the poor,governments should
means charging a fee for the water
price water to reflect its actual value.This
itself as well as for the supply costs.
Governments should also protect this resource by providing water in more economically and environmentally
sound ways.For example,often
the cheapest way
to provide irrigation(灌溉) water in the dry tropics is through smallscale projects,such as gathering rainfall in depressions(洼地) and pumping it to nearby crop land
。
No matter what steps governments take to provide water more efficiently,they must change their institutional and legal approaches to water use.Rather than spread control
among hundreds or even thousands of local,regional and
national
agencies that watch various aspects of water use,countries authorities to coordinate water supply.
1.What is the real cause of the potential water crisis? A.Only half of the world's water can be used.

C.correspond to its real valueD.take into account the occurrences ofdroughts 4.The author says that in some hot and dry areas it is advisable to A.build big lakes to store water? B.construct big pumping stations
C.build small and cheap irrigation systems? D.channel water from nearby rivers to cropland 5.In order to raise the efficiency to ————
