Nearly half the world’s population will experience【C1】______water shortages by 2025, 【C2】______the United Nations. Wars【C3】______access to water are a rising possibility and the main【C4】______in Africa during the next 25 years could be over this most precious commodity, as countries fight for access to【C5】______resources. "Potential water wars are likely in areas【C6】______rivers and lakes are shared by more than one country," says Mark Evans. Evans predicts that "population growth and economic development will【C7】______nearly one【C8】______two people in Africa living in countries【C9】______water scarcity or【C10】______is known as ’water stress’ within 25 years." Water scarcity is defined as less than 1,000 cubic metres of water available per person per year,【C11】______water stress means less than 1,500 cubic metres of water is available per person per year. The report says that by 2025, 12 more African countries will【C12】______the 13 that already suffer from water stress or water scarcity. 【C13】______makes the water issue even more urgent is that demand for water will grow increasingly fast as larger areas are【C14】______under crops and economic development.

At the recent World Summit on Sustainable Development, activists continued their campaign to【C19】______dam construction, while many governments were outraged about a vocal【C20】______thwarting their plans.
【C17】
选项
A、war
B、fight
C、battle
D、campaign
答案
C
解析
名词辨析题。war是战争的总称,一般指包括多个战役的大规模战争;fight最普通用词,含义广,指战斗、斗争或打斗;battle侧重指战争中的一次较全面、时间较长的战斗,也指陆军或海军在某一特定地区进行的战斗,或个人之间的争斗;campaign通常指一场大的战争中在某一地区进行的一连串既定目的的军事行动。由原文可知,由于“环境保护主义者和政府及建筑业”之间不存在军事方面的战斗而只是个人之间的争斗,因此选battle适合。
