Beijing will have to improve its ability to conserve water if the capital city is to ensure an adequate supply for the upcoming Olympic Games, a leading water official said yesterday. Besides getting water from four reservoirs in neighboring Hebei province, Beijing should do more to conserve water and collect rainwater, said Bi Xiaogang, the director of the Beijing Water Authority.
The huge scale(规模) of sports building projects and transportation equipment being built for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games has raised questions about whether Beijing's water resources are up to the task. Conservation is seen as a key part of the city' s ability to host such an event.
"We are strengthening efforts to conserve water, especially in agricultural irrigation," Bi said. He also said the increasing use of advanced technology like drip irrigation had helped reduce the amount of water used for agriculture by 100 million cubic meters a year since 2000. The total water used for agricultural purposes in Beijing last year was less than 1.1 billion cubic meters. The city will spread the technology to more than 6, 600 hectares(公顷)of cropland this year.
Bi said that because Beijing is in a dry area with little rainfall, rain shows an important source of water. He said 150 rain-collection projects would be built using old water courses and ponds in Beijing's countrysides. Twenty-two large-scale projects will also be built in the city's rural areas. "We also encourage government buildings, office buildings and large-scale public construction projects to fix water-collection equipment," he said. "Rain water can be used to irrigate park lands and for cleaning."
It is estimated(估计) that Beijing's various rain--collection projects will help the capital collect about 40 million tons of water annually, Bi said.
1. The problem of water shortage in Beijing attracts more concern mainly because ________.
A. Beijing is in a dry area with little rainfall
B. there is not enough water for agricultural irrigation
C. the government buildings have no water-collection equipment
D. more water will be needed for the building projects for the 2008 Olympics
2. According to Bi's opinion, in order to solve the water problem, Beijing will mainly focus on ________.
A. collecting rain water B. saving water in daily life
C. using modern technology D. conserving water
3. From the passage, we can know_______.
A. Beijing now has an adequate water supply for the Olympics
B. drip irrigation has helped a lot in conserving water
C. rain water can only be used to irrigate park lands and for cleaning
D. all buildings in Beijing have fixed water-collection equipment
4. The best title of the passage should be ________.
A. Water conservation for the 2008 Olympic Games
13. Construction of water-collection projects
C. Water supply for agriculture
D. Preparations for the 2008 Olympic Games
5. The article may be taken from ________.
