This may seem strange to you ,since nearly 70 percent of the earth’s surface is covered with water . But about 97% of this huge amount is seawater , orsalt water . Man can only drink and use the other three percent__ the fresh water that comes from river , lakes, underground ,and other sources . We cannot even use all of that , because some of it is flowing to the sea ; some of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciers , or deep underground ,Even worse ,some of it is being polluted .However, as things stand today , this small amount of fresh water ,which is constantly being replaced by rainfall , is still enough for us . But our need for water is increasing rapidly __almost day by day .Only if we take steps to deal with these problems now can we avoid a serious worldwide water shortage in the future . It is well known that all living beings will die without water . A limited water supply would have a bad effect on agriculture and industry , on our environment and even our lives . Let me give you just one small example of how necessary water is to industry .Do you know that to produce a single ton of steel will take about 91,000 liters of water?We all have to learn how to stop wasting our precious water . One of the first steps we should take is to develop ways of reusing water . Experiments have already been done in this field , but only on a small scale . The systems that have been working out resemble those used in spacecraft.Removing the salt is called desalinization ,and it is already in use in many parts of the world .根据短文内容选择最佳答案：( )1.The world is not only hungry ; it’s also thirsty for water . This means that _______.A.the world has not enough fresh water to meet our future needsB.we cannot make use of all the fresh water nowC.people all over the world are thirsty for water nowD.we are now facing a serious problem of worldwide water shorttage( )2.According to the passage , only about __ of the earth’s surface is not covered with water .A.97%B.30%C. 3%D.75%( )3.We may face a serious worldwide water shortage in the future because ________.A.our need for fresh water is increasing rapidlyB.sone of it has been pollutedC.sone of it is in the form of icebergs and glaciersD.the small amount of fresh water is constantly being replaced byrainfall( )4.According to the passage , one of the first steps we should take to stop wasting our fresh water is _______.A.to deal with this problem nowB.to have lectures on the subjectC.to develop ways of reusing itD. to work out systems that resemble those used in spacecraft( )5.This passage is mainly about_________.A.the water shortage problemB. fresh water on earthC. water and the earthD.experiments on how to reuse fresh water Passage TwoHair loss is one of those things we still do not understand. Science has, of course, shown that men are more likely than women to suffer major hair loss. Some kinds of hair loss are temporary (暂时的), an effect of illness. In those cases we can expect the hair to grow back.It all depends on whether the hair root is alive. If it is not, hair loss is permanent and nothing will help.Some daily loss of hair is a normal, healthy sign. Most people lose between 40 to 50 scalp hairs each day.Each of these scalp hairs grows for from two to six years and then rests. About three months later it is pushed out by a new hair growing from the same root.This is not something that should cause great concern.Something else we know is that normal hair loss is seasonal, with the most hair loss occurring in the fall. Everyone experiences a normal cycle of loss and growth.The problem of hair loss results when loss is greater than growth. The main cause of hair loss in men seems to be accumulation (积累) of a hormone (荷尔蒙) in the body. When that hormone reaches a certain level, the hair growing period is shortened and hair loss is the result. This is no cure for most cases of hair loss. This, however, is not the end of the world.根据短文内容选择最佳答案：（）6.

The best title for the passage may be ________.A. Loss or GrowthB. Hair LossC. Healthy SignD. Change withSeasonsPassage ThreeOn the morning of November 18,1755, an earthquake shook Boston, Massachusetts.
