Water is our most important natural resource. Yet, although it covers most of the world, only 2.5% of it is salt-free and suitable for human use. Demand for fresh water has risen sharply in the last 50 years, and it is still rising and causing serious problems. Finding possible and effective solutions may be one of the biggest challenges of the 21st Century.
There are several reasons behind this growing crisis. The first is waste. About 70% of our fresh water is used to grow crops. It takes 1,000 tons of water to grow just one ton of wheat. Unfortunately, around 60% of that water is wasted.
Better irrigation methods are needed to ensure the smart and efficient use of water.
Pollution is another big problem. Many of the world’s great rivers and lakes are badly polluted with garbage and chemicals. Hundreds of millions of people relying on those water bodies are thus affected. Steps are being taken to clean up some rivers and lakes, but they are expensive and can take many years.
Overuse also puts pressure on water supplies. In the U.S., 95% of its fresh water comes from underground sources.
Levels are quickly falling, since so much water is used to grow crops and raise livestock. Once used, those supplies are gone forever because they are mostly not refilled by rainwater. The key is to lower demand and reduce use.
Today around the world, more than one billion people have no access to clean water, which leads to millions of deaths every year, including thousands of children dying every day in Africa. By 2025, as many as 25 African countries may face water shortages, and wars could even break out over water rights. The fresh water crisis is not limited to poor countries. Indeed, rich and poor countries from Asia to Europe to America are troubled by the lack of water, a growing problem that could soon affect us all.
【2】21. What is the main idea of this article?

African countries are the hardest hit by shortage of fresh water.
【3】22. Which of the following is TRUE about water used for growing crops?

About 60% of the fresh water used for crops comes from underground.
About 42% of all fresh water is wasted in the process of growing crops.
It takes about 1000 liters of fresh water to grow every ton of wheat.
【1】23. What is the problem with cleaning up rivers and lakes?
It costs lots of money and needs a long time to see results.
It may disturb the animals and hurt the plants in those waters.
Only a few non-government organizations are willing to do it.
Only people living near those rivers and lakes care about it.
【3】24. How are people affected by the shortage of fresh water?
Currently about half billion of people are living without fresh water.
Millions of people, including thousands of kids, die every year in Asia.
In less than 10 years, over 20 African countries may lack fresh water and fight each other for it.
Only poorer countries in Africa and part of Asia would face the crisis of fresh water shortages.
【4】25. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the article as a solution to the fresh water crisis?
