选项
A、supply
B、use
C、pollution
D、shortage
答案
D
解析
本填空选择名词,其实这个名词的选择是依赖于原文主线的,即利用无关词排除法确定与主线最密切的选项。文章前句的原文信息刚讲述了It has been________that the world’s water use would triple in the next two decades. (根据预测,世界的水用量将会在以后的20年中增至3倍)。本句子继续讲述:Already, widespread water________have occurred in parts of China,India,and North Africa,即“一件有关水……的事情已经在中国、印度和北非发生了”,理解了这个前文线索,本填空一定是选择D项shortage,即“水短缺”。
