河南省鄢陵县第一高级中学2014-2015学年高二上学期第一次考试英语试题（A） 阅读理解 A Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our river 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(铺砌) a road can lead to less useable fresh water. A major part of the water we use everyday is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers. It comes from underground. The more roads and parks lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater. Human activities are not responsible for all water shortages. Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱) than areas with more rain fall, but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.[来源:] Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a difference, too. In the US, 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(洗碗机) 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.
