55.D这是一篇说明文。作者通过开普敦缺水以及所采取的措施告诉我们，有限的淡水资源成本很低，但是缺水的成本非常高，呼吁世界各地的城市制定具有成本效益的水资源管理战略，以应对不确定的未来。【41题详解】考查名词辨析。A.Impact影响；B.Pressure压力；C.Impression印象；D.Observation观察。句意:对这一有限资源的压力正在增加，这一趋势可能继续下去。由下文可知，农业，工业，旅游业，城市居民都需要用大量的水，所以对于这有限的水资源的压力正在增加。故B选项切题。【42题详解】考查动词辨析。A.recycle使再循环；B.waste浪费；C.consume消耗；D.apply应用。句意:重要的是要认识到，用水的不仅仅是城市居民。城市居民用水，就是在消耗水资源。故C选项切题。【43题详解】考查动词辨析。A.restored恢复；B.abstracted提取；C.separated分开；D.preserved维护。句意:在全球范围内，70%的淡水被提取用于农业，但是在灌溉量大的地区，这一比例会增加到90%。2%的淡水中的70%的水量被分配给了农业。故B选项切题。【44题详解】考查名词辨析。A.change改变；B.source源头；C.origin起源；D.volume容量。句意:健康的环境也需要淡水，可用水的质量和水量一样重要。由“quality”可知，这里在把水的质量和数量进行同级比较。所以“quality”对应词为volume。故D选项切题。【45题详解】考查名词辨析。A.Competition竞争；B.Protection保护；C.Construction建设；D.Regulation规则。句意:河流集水区或流域内不同用户之间对水资源的竞争也是一个原因。由“Waterstressisnotalwayscausedbyphysicalshortagesindryareas”可知，短文在说明缺水的不总是自然原因造成的，还有人为之间的竞争造成的。故A选项切题。【46题详解】考查动词辨析。A.contributing捐助；B.regarding认为；C.responding回应；D.referring提及。句意:每个缺水的城市都在自己的环境中运作，应对提供充足供水的挑战。由句意可知，每个缺水的城市都在运作自己城市的水资源分配，以此来应对能够向生活中的各个方面提供充足水的挑战。故C选项切题。【47题详解】考查介词短语辨析。A.inaddition除此之外；B.forexample例如；C.onthecontrary相反地；D.asaresult因此。句意:例如，开普敦经历了三年的干旱，在此期间，冬季降雨没有出现。作者举例具有典型性的城市作为说明。故B选项切题。【48题详解】考查名词辨析。A.prospect前景，；B.illustration说明；C.symptom症状；D.security安全。句意:2017年雨季结束时，这座城市面临着大坝在2018年干涸的前景。由“Thedamswereonly37%full”可知，大坝的水位只有37%。所以大坝的前景不容乐观，在2018年具有干涸的可能性。故A选项切题。【49题详解】考查动词辨析。A.reported报道；B.presented提出；C.predicted预测；D.explained解释。句意:2018年1月，据预测开普敦将在4月份达到“零日”，届时它将被迫关闭水龙头。由“inApril”可知，4月份是个将来的时间，所以所发生的事情都是在预测。故C选项切题。【50题详解】考查副词辨析。A.respectively各自地；B.increasingly逐渐地；C.restrictively限制地；D.extensively广泛地。句意:该市的用水量减少了一半以上，从2015年的每天12亿升降至不到6亿升，并与工业和农业广泛合作以减少对水的需求。由句意可知，该市的用水量减少了一半以上，所以要在农业和工业的各个领域进行合作，目的是减少它们对水的需求量。故D选项切题。【51题详解】考查介词短语辨析。A.Bycomparison比较；B.Inotherwords换句话说；C.Tooursurprise令我们惊讶的是；D.What’smore况且。句意:相比之下，在英国，这被认为足够在满负荷的情况下进行五分钟的淋浴，让洗衣机运转半个周期。将英国和开普敦进行比较。故A选项切题。【52题详解】考查形容词辨析。A.feasible可行的；B.drinkable可饮用的；C.inevitable不可避免的；

D.influential有影响的。句意:此外，还禁止将饮用水用于花园。由前文可知，城市的用水量减少了一半以上，可见淡水资源短缺严重，更不允许将饮用水用于浇灌花园。故B选项切题。【53题详解】考查名词辨析。A.campaign战役；B.statement阐述；C.presentation展示；

D.advertisement广告。句意:此同时，该市发起了一场媒体运动，以改变人们的习惯。城市通过媒体运动的力量，以此来改变人们的习惯。故A选项切题。【54题详解】考查动词辨析。A.invaded侵略；B.liberated解放；C.suffered遭受；D.proceeded行进。句意:农业和旅游业这两个重要的就业领域受到了损害。由“Thisisnotwithoutitscosts”可知，这并非没有代价，所以判断出农业和旅游业这两个重要的就业领域受到了损害。故C选项切题。【55题详解】考查名词辨析。A.change改变；B.theory理论；C.record记录；

D.threat威胁。句意:“零日”的威胁必须敲响警钟，呼吁世界各地的城市制定成本效益高的水资源管理战略，以应对不确定的未来。由前文“Crises”可知，缺水对人们来说已经是危机，威胁着正常的生产和生活。故D选项切题。三、阅读理解18.ThesearesomeofNicestSmallTownsinAmericaeveryoneshouldvisitbeforethey're50.Jacksonville,OregonOneoftheoriginalmajorcitiesoftheGoldRush,Jacksonvillewasfoundedintheearly1850sbypioneershopingtobecomerich.Theentiretown,wasdesignatedasaU.S.NationalLandmarkinthe1960s,soit'sdefinitelyworthvisiting,especiallyifyou'reahistorybuff.Jacksonvilleishometoover100NationalHistoricalbuildingssprinkledthroughoutthecommunityintheheartofOregon'swinecountryandsurroundedbygorgeousgreenery,sotherereallyissomethingforeveryone.TraverseCity,MichiganLocatedontheshoresofLakeMichigan,TraverseCityisthebestoutdoorandwateractivitiesdestination.Inthewarmermonths,you'llfindeveryonehikingandbikingthenumeroustrailsandparticipatinginthemostpopularrecreationalwatersportskayaking,fishing,windsurfing,andpaddleboarding.There'salsogolfingandbirdwatchingforthosewhoarelookingforamoreleisurelyvacation.JulyisanespeciallybusymonthinTraverseCity,asit'swhenhundredsofthousandsofvisitorscomeinfortheNationalCherryFestival.Andthemanyfarm-to-tablediningoptions,breweries,wineries,anddistilleriesmakeitadestinationworthvisitingeveninthewinter.Sedona,ArizonaBesidesitsfamousgorgeousredrockgeography
