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. Evans adds that "the strong【C15】______that the world is experiencing climate change【C16】______this urgency."
How to deal with water shortages is in the forefront of the【C17】______between environmental activists on the one hand and governments and construction firms【C18】_________. 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.
【C19】
选项
A、halt
B、cease
C、suspend
D、quit
答案
A
解析
动词辨析题。四个选项都含有“停止”之意,halt指“运动或前进的停止,是很突然地停止,尤其指暂停”;cease指“慢慢停止”;suspend指“正式、公平的中断或停止,推迟或延续某事”;quit指“最终彻底停止某事,有时暗示遭到失败或面临挫折”。文中谈到的是环境保护主义者和政府及建筑业之间对于水坝建设的斗争,因为不清楚水坝建设如果停止后会不会继续,因此很大可能只是暂停,所以用halt适合。
