Question

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways.

The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.

【1】F考查对上下文的理解和推理判断能力。根据上一句：你可能惊讶铺平道路将导致的更少的可用的淡水。根据下一句：地下水不是来自河流或湖泊。它来自地下。可知此处应该是我们用的是地下水，后一句介绍它的来源。故选F。
