Life on earth depends on water, and there is no substitute for it. The current assumption is that our basic needs for water — whether for drinking, agriculture, industry or the raising of fish will always have to be met. Given that premise(前提), there are two basic routes we can go: more access to water or more engineering solutions (more dams, for instance).

Looking at the engineering solution first, a lot of my research concentrates on what happens to wetlands when you build dams in river basins, particularly in Africa. The ecology of such areas is almost entirely driven by the seasonal regime of the river, or rather, the pulse of the water. And the fact is that if you build a dam, you generally spoil the downstream ecology. In the past, such problems have been hidden by a lack of information. But in the next century, governments will have no excuse for their ignorance. The engineers ability to control water flows has created new kinds of unpredictability. Dams in Africa have meant fewer fish, less grazing and less agriculture — none of which were expected.

The challenge for the next century is to find new means of controlling water. Although GM technology will allow us to breed better dry-land crops, there is no market stimulation for companies to develop crops suitable for the micro-climates of the Sahel and elsewhere in Africa. Who is going to pay for research on locally appropriate crops in the Third World?

This brings us to the key issue in any discussion of water: money. In the next century, just consider the problems of water supply in Mexico City or Delhi. If you’re rich, you drink mineral water and may even have a swimming pool — yet millions in such cities can’t get safe drinking water. People talk about the coming water crisis. I believe we have one now. It is a water crisis for the poor.

1. According to the passage, what are the two ways to solve the problem of water crisis? (no more than 8 words) (2 marks)

 

2. What will happen when dams are built in river basins in Africa? (no more than 6 words) (3marks)

 

3.Why are companies not willing to develop locally appropriate crops for Third World? (no more than 6 words) (3 marks)

 

4.What is the tone of the passage? (no more than 1 words) (2 marks)

Commuters (上下班往返的人) who drive to work will face a parking charge of up to £350 a year.Ministers are backing a workplace parking charge which will come into force in Nottingham in 2013 and is likely to be adopted across the country.The scheme will see firms with more than ten parking places for staff charged £350 a year for each space in two years.

Employers would be free to pass on the charge to their staff—meaning it would effectively be a tax on driving to work.The scheme aims to reduce traffic by preventing unnecessary car journeys and raise funds to improve public transport,but critics say it is just an excuse for councils to fill their coffers (金库).

Some ten million Britons drive to work each day,and the British Chambers of Commerce says the new charge could total £3.4 billion a year if rolled out nationwide.

Already some firms in Nottingham have threatened to leave the city,where 40,000 commuters use their cars to get to work.A spokesman said the scheme was nothing more than a tax on jobs.“It is very unfair to discriminate against those employers who have parking spaces,which get vehicles off the streets,” he said.“And these charges apply around the clock,which is especially unfair on shift workers who rely on their cars because public transport is not available.This is more about increasing the government’s income than reducing traffic.”

However,Transport Minister Sadiq Khan gave the plan an official approval during a visit to Nottingham. The council says the tax will raise as much as £100 million over ten years—one fifth of the cost of a new transport system for the city.

Another transport spokesman Theresa Villiers said the tax would have a devastating impact on businesses struggling to cope with the economic decline.

But Richard Hebditch of the Campaign for Better Transport said the tax would raise money to invest in better transport.“We put forward the idea of workplace parking taxes as a fairer way to raise money to invest in the future local transport services.We are pleased that the people of Nottingham will be the first to benefit.”

1.Supporters argue that the scheme________.

A.can help improve the parking conditions for the staff

B.should be applied to ail commuters driving to work

C.is certain to be carried out despite the objections

D.will relieve traffic pressure and improve public transport

2.According to the objectors,the scheme is unfair for________.

A.the firms with parking lots

B.the workforce without cars

C.the employees parking their cars on the streets

D.the staff driving to work in the daytime

3.Which word can best describe Theresa Villiers’s attitude towards the scheme?

A.Neutral. B.Negative.

C.Understanding. D.Positive.

4.It can be inferred from the passage that________.

A.many firms are willing to pay the charges for their staff

B.the public transport in Nottingham is in great need of improvement

C.the author believes Britons will benefit from the scheme

D.those firms with more commuters will leave Nottingham
