　　[12:46.11]Directions: This section is to test your ability
　　[12:51.87]to comprehend short passages.
　　[12:54.97]You will hear a recorded passage.
　　[12:58.40]After that you will hear five questions.
　　[13:02.78]Both the passage and the questions will be read two times.
　　[13:08.46]When you hear a question,
　　[13:11.39]you should complete the answer to it
　　[13:14.50]with a word or a short phrase (in no more than 3 words).
　　[13:21.27]The questions and incomplete answers
　　[13:25.67]are printed in your test paper.
　　[13:28.31]You should write your answers
　　[13:31.59]on the Answer Sheet correspondingly.
　　[13:34.68]Now listen to the passage.
　　[13:39.12]The world is not only hungry
　　[13:43.46]but it is also thirsty for water.
　　[13:46.53]This may seem strange to you
　　[13:49.73]for nearly 70% of the earth's surface is covered with water.
　　[13:54.04]But about 97% of that huge amount is sea water.
　　[13:58.90]Man can only drink and use the three percent-
　　[14:02.90]the fresh water that comes from rivers,
　　[14:05.73]lakes and underground.
　　[14:07.40]And we cannot even use all of it,
　　[14:10.47]because some of it is polluted.
　　[14:12.91]However the small amount of fresh water
　　[14:16.97]which is sometimes replaced by rain
　　[14:19.30]is still enough for us now.
　　[14:21.16]But our need for water is increasing rapidly
　　[14:25.35]almost day by day.
　　[14:26.95]Only by taking steps now
　　[14:30.10]can we avoid the serious water shortage in the future.
　　[14:33.92]One way is to make use of sea water by removing the salt,
　　[14:38.67]which is already in use in many parts of the world.
　　[14:42.76]11. What's the problem the world is now facing?
　　[15:00.27]12. What percentage does the fresh water account for?
　　[15:18.64]13. Where does the fresh water come from?
　　[15:36.01]14. Why can't people use all of the fresh water?
　　[15:54.66]15. How can people make use of sea water?
　　[16:11.89]Now listen again.
　　[16:15.85]The world is not only hungry
　　[16:20.00]but it is also thirsty for water.
　　[16:23.13]This may seem strange to you
　　[16:26.29]for nearly 70% of the earth's surface is covered with water.
　　[16:30.74]But about 97% of that huge amount is sea water.
　　[16:35.46]Man can only drink and use the three percent-
　　[16:39.66]the fresh water that comes from rivers,
　　[16:42.30]lakes and underground.
　　[16:43.93]And we cannot even use all of it,
　　[16:47.02]because some of it is polluted.
　　[16:49.42]However the small amount of fresh water
　　[16:53.01]which is sometimes replaced by rain
　　[16:55.50]is still enough for us now.
　　[16:57.54]But our need for water is increasing rapidly
　　[17:01.82]almost day by day.
　　[17:03.24]Only by taking steps now
　　[17:06.45]can we avoid the serious water shortage in the future.
　　[17:10.20]One way is to make use of sea water by removing the salt,
　　[17:14.98]which is already in use in many parts of the world.
　　[17:19.07]11. What's the problem the world is now facing?
　　[17:37.66]12. What percentage does the fresh water account for?
　　[17:55.76]13. Where does the fresh water come from?
　　[18:13.21]14. Why can't people use all of the fresh water?
　　[18:31.53]15. How can people make use of sea water?
　　[18:48.96]This is the end of Listening Comprehension.
