6、 to less groundwater?AUsing river water.BThrowing batteries away.CPaving parking lots.DThrowing rubbish into lakes.解析：细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“The more roads and parking lots we pave，the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.”可知选C项。答案：C2What can be inferred from the text?AAll water shorta

7、ges are due to human behavior.BIt takes a lot of effort to meet our water needs.CThere is much we can do to reduce family size.DThe average family in America makes proper use of water.解析：推理判断题。根据第二段首句“Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages(短缺)”可排除A项。根据第三段最后一句“This shows how much w

8、e depend on water to live，but theres a lot we can do to lower the number.”可知D项不正确。本文强调的是减少用水量，而不是家庭的人数，故C项错误。根据全文的内容可推知，水浪费、水污染和水需求不断增长，解决水短缺问题需要付出大量的努力。答案：B3The last paragraph is intended to_.Ashow us how to fix leaks at homeBtell us how to run a dishwasherCprove what drinking glass is best for usD

9、suggest what we do to save water at home解析：写作意图题。最后一段首句“You can take steps to save water in your home.”为主题句，接下来从四个方面就steps进行了展开，即四个方法或措施。显然，本段主要是讨论我们在家里如何节约用水。答案：D4The text is mainly about_.Awhy paving roads reduces our waterBhow much we depend on water to liveCwhy droughts occur more in dry climate

11、 in any case，good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs”又将话题转回到人类自身方面管理。第三段中的“Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference，too.”以及第四段中的“You can take steps to save water in your home.”均指向的是人类行为对于水供应的影响。答案：D主旨大意题要求考生要善于抓取文章的主题句。主题句通常表

12、达了文章的中心思想(main idea)，考生找到了主题句，也就抓住了文章的主旨大意。因此，“主题句定位法”是解答主旨大意题的一种行之有效的方法。主题句通常在文章的开头或结尾出现，但是也有一些文章的中心思想贯穿全文，并没有用一句话明确表达出来，这就需要考生抓住文章中的关键词进行归纳概括。例如真题示例第4题，文章第一段第一句“Using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that.”是文章的主题，用水过多或者把垃圾扔进河里，就是这样的人类行为让我们的水资源处于匮乏之中，但这种方式也影响到我们的用水供
