The quality of drinking water in Shanghai will meet European Union standard by 2010 and, a decade later, citizens in Shanghai will drink the best water in the world.
These were the goals set out by the Shanghai Water Authority. With the city’s population expected to increase only slightly and the economy to boom by 2020, Chen Yin, and official with the water authority, said Shanghai’s water consumption will not increase from its present amount.
Zhang Yue, director of the Urban Construction Division under the Ministry of Construction, said, “Shanghai is the first city in the country to publicize these ambitions. They will not be easy to achieve.”
He said water saving will help keep the sustainable development of China’s economy.
Saving one cubic meter of water means saving the city’s infrastructure(基础设施)costs by 10,000 Yuan. Last year, Shanghai saved 300 million cubic meters of water either from readjustment of industrial structure or the employment of new technology.
“The aim is to arouse public awareness of the seriousness of water shortages,” Chen said. “The abundant surface water and amount of rain of the city are so misleading that they result in improper use of water.”
Shanghai lacks drinkable water. The Huangpu River, which supplies 80 percent of the city’s drinkable water, is nearing exhaustion.
The city, therefore, has been exploring new sources from the Yangtze River and growing forests along it to conserve quality water.
Besides penning regulations, the authority is popularizing technology among the public to efficiently cut the amount of water used.
At present, the city has 600,000 family toilets, each using 13 liters of water per flush. These are to be renovated(整修)to use only 9 liters of water per flush.
The authority is renovating the first 200 toilets for households – at a cost of 40 Yuan each.
In three years, all the toilets will be renovated, which saves the city nearly 15 million Yuan every year in water conservation.
Another task the city is engaged in is the treatment of sewage(污水)to improve the water environment.
At present the city can only treat 44 percent of its daily 5.04 million tons of waste water. To meet the total demand, 27 more sewage treatment factories are to be established with an estimated investment of 18 billion Yuan.
41.People in Shanghai get their daily water mainly from _______now.
A.the underground B.the rain
C.the Yangtze River D.the Huangpu River
42.According to the passage, some people have the wrong opinion of using water
because .
A.the renovating of family toilets will save plenty of water
B.about half of waste water has been treated already
C.advanced technology makes people use water as much as possible

43.The authority is renovating the first 200 toilets for households to .
A.make people’s living more convenient
B.improve people’s living standards
C.ease employment pressure
D.meet the total demand of water
44.Which group of measures are all mentioned in the passage to save water?

c.introduce or use some new technology
d.speed the economic development of Shanghai
e.renovate some family toilets
f.build more sewage treatment factories
A.a, b, c, d B.b, c, e, f
C.b, c, d, e D.a, b, e, f

The UN passed a rule in the year 2004 to improve the quality of drink water and reduce deaths caused by drinking unhealthy water each year. The UN has already worked out the specific plan to reduce half of the number, that is, five thousand. The UN announced in the world there are about 1/6 of the world population can't meet the sanitation regulation of drinking water.
The water we drink and use is running short in the world. We all have to learn to stop wasting our quite limited water. One of the steps we should take is to find ways of reusing it. Experiments have already been done on this field. Today in most large cities, fresh water is used only once, then it runs into waste system. But it is possible to pipe the used water to a purifying(净化)factory. There it can be filtered(过滤) and treated with chemicals so that it can be used again , just as it were fresh from a spring. But even large cities purified and reused its water, we still would not have enough. Then we could turn to the oceans. All we would have to do to make use of seawater on earth is to get the salt out of it. This method has already been used in many parts of the world.

If you know a bottle of water has been recycled from urine (尿液), will you drink it? Chinese astronauts have done so.
China National Space Administration(CNSA)says it uses a high-tech machine to recycle wastewater. The machine will recycle everything from sweat, the water for washing hands, shower water, water used for brushing teeth, and even urine, to make drinking water.
It saves CNSA millions of YMB each year. At present, each CNSA astronaut uses about 4.4 liters of water every day. It costs about ¥150 million a year to transport water up to space.
The urine recycling system is needed for astronaut stations because it won’t have to ship up as much water to the station by space shuttles or rockets. Besides, it’s important as the space station is about to expand from three people living on board to more.
The recycling system was brought up to the space station last August by space shuttles. The three-man crew stood holding their drinks and congratulated engineers in CNSA center that worked on the system.
“This is something that has been the stuff of science work,” astronaut Chen Dong said before taking a small mouthful. “The taste is well worth trying.”
Is the water clean? Scientists say the wastewater will go through a very complicated (复杂的) process. For example, different chemicals will be put in the wastewater; the water will be heated to 130C to get rid of bacteria. The recycled water is thousands of times better than the water from a city tap, scientists say.
1.What can the water recycled from urine be used for?
A.Drinking.
B.Washing hands.
C.Brushing teeth.
D.Taking a bath.
2.Why is a high-tech machine to recycle wastewater needed on space stations?
A.To get astronauts to keep healthy.
B.To help astronauts do experiments.
C.To provide astronauts a basic living condition.
D.To save the cost of transporting water up to space.
3.Scientists get rid of bacteria in the wastewater by ________.
A.recycling
B.freezing
C.heating
D.collecting
4.What does the text mainly talk about?
A.Water recycled from urine tastes good.
B.How to recycle the wastewater on space.
C.New technology is used in the Chinese space station.
D.CNSA uses a high-tech machine to recycle wastewater for astronaut stations.

Beer is one of the world’s most popular drinks. One of beer’s most important ingredients(成分)is water. Beer makers say you need up to five liters(升)of water to make one liter of beer. If water becomes limited, then, will people have to stop making beer? Beer makers have already thought of that possibility. So, in some cities, people are testing out beers made from collected and filtered rainwater.
They are also collecting rainwater and water from the beer-making process for use inside the beer factory. Sierra Nevada is a well-known beer factory in California. It uses rainwater for cleaning and washing toilets. Beer makers understand the importance of saving water. If there is no water, there is no beer.
That is why Stone Beer Company, near San Diego, California, worked with a local water treatment program to make beer. The program is called Pure Water San Diego. It wants to provide one-third of the city’s water by 2035.
Working with Pure Water, the beer factory used purified water that came from wastewater. Wastewater is water that has already been used for showers, washing dishes or toilets.
Stone is a large beer factory. It has customers across the U.S. and Europe. Some of their beers are among the best in the United States. So it was a big deal when Stone released a special beer called Full Circle Pale Ale in March. Many websites and newspapers wrote about the beer. They reported that it was made from “toilet water.” Local television stations recorded people's reactions as they tasted the beer.
Stone later wrote a blog post saying it was not happy with all of the news coverage-especially reports that centered on the idea of “toilet water.” But it was happy that the experiment was a success.
The beer was only made for a special event. Stone Beer is not permitted to sell in stores or at the restaurants.
1.Why do some beer makers use rainwater to make beer?
A. To try new sources of water.
B. To make special taste for beer.
C. To reduce the cost of production.
D. To give up pure water in production.
2.What did Stone Beer Company want Pure Water San Diego to do?
A. Help it to develop new kind of beer.
B. Supply the majority of water to the city.
C. Make waste water clean enough to make beer.
D. Deal with its waste water from the beer production process..
3.What do we know about the special beer?
A. It was welcomed by the public.
B. Few people dared to taste it.
C. It will be sold in large quantities.
D. It received great attention from the media.
4.What did Stone Beer Company think of the reports about the beer?
A. They are satisfying. B. They are disappointing.
C. They are surprising. D. They are beneficial.
