Water Shortage

Getting water seems so easy for many people. You will be mistaken (mistake) if you think there is an endless (end) supply of water. In fact, the world has a water shortage. Seventy percent of the world is covered (cover) in water. But most of it is saltwater. Only a small percentage (percent) is fresh drinking water. Countries including Spain, Italy and South Africa actually import water from countries such as the United States and Australia. Surprisingly, 1.1 billion people on earth have difficulty getting (get) clean drinking water. This global problem is predicted to get worse (bad) as the atmosphere becomes warmer. Every person in Britain uses about 150 litres of water a day. In some countries people only have 5 to 10 litres a day! They would be shocked (shock) to learn how we waste drinking water.

解析：

41. 如果你认为水有无尽的供应，那么你就会犯错。根据语境可知“mistaken”为正确选项。

42. 结束无法满足上述语句的意思，故“endless”为正确答案。

43. seventy percent of the world意味着全世界70%的地方都覆盖在水中，所以“covered”是正确选项。

44. 这个句子指的是只有很小的一部分水可以直接饮用，而“percentage”正好符合。

45. 根据语境可知，西班牙、意大利和南非等国家实际上需要从美国和澳大利亚这些国家进口水，所以“including”为正确答案。

46. 根据语境可得知，“令人惊奇”一词与1.1亿地球人难以获得干净饮用水的事实有关，所以“Surprisingly”是正确选项。

47. 这里指灌溉、饮用等方面都很困难，所以用动名词表现这种状态，故“getting”为正确答案。

48. 前面提到了全球存在水短缺，预测因大气变暖会变得更糟，所以“worse”为正确选项。

49. 根据语境可知，“每个英国人一天要使用约150升的水”，故“uses”为正确答案。

50. 展示了使用和浪费水的对比，在某些国家每个人每天只有5-10升的饮用水，所以“shocked”为正确答案。

水短缺

对于很多人来说，获取水似乎是件很容易的事情。但如果你认为水是无尽的资源，那你就错了。实际上，全球都存在着水短缺问题。全世界70%的面积都覆盖着水，但其中大部分是咸水。只有小部分是淡水，适合饮用。像西班牙、意大利和南非等国家实际上从美国和澳大利亚等国家进口水。令人惊讶的是，全球有11亿人难以获取干净的饮用水。而且随着大气变得越来越温暖，这个全球性的问题预计会变得更加严重。英国的每个人每天使用大约150升的水，而在一些国家，人们每天只有5到10升的水可供使用！如果他们知道我们浪费饮用水的情况，一定会感到震惊的。
