【正文】 s not as abundant as you may think. 1． According to the passage， harvesting rainwater can . A． benefit people economically and environmentally B． promote the development of economy and peace C． benefit our health and the surroundings as well D． make us live a better life in the near future 答案 A 解析 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由此可推知，在利用雨水這方面美國(guó)做得并不好，故選 A項(xiàng)。根據(jù)第四段和第五段可知，在雨水從房頂落下時(shí)收集，短時(shí)間內(nèi)收集的量多，不僅收集效率高，而且更易于凈化處理成可以飲用的水。本文探討了男人比女人壽命短的主要原因，那就是與心臟細(xì)胞數(shù)量的減少有關(guān)。根據(jù)第五段的第一句 “ What amazes scientists is that the female heart suffers very little loss of these cells.” 可知答案為 C。 。根據(jù)最后一段的內(nèi)容可知，男人經(jīng)常鍛煉可以擁有健康的心臟，女人經(jīng)常鍛煉可以避免腿部肌肉的衰弱無(wú)力。因此，本文的中心話題是心臟與長(zhǎng)壽。根據(jù)第一段的第一句話 “ Why do men live a shorter life than women？ ” 可 推知 “ longevity” 的意思是 “ 長(zhǎng)壽 ” 。由第四段可知，該段主要講述的是如何有效地收集雨水，故選 D 項(xiàng)。 2． What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A． Harvesting rainwater in America is not mon. B． There is no need for Americans to harvest rainwater. C． Americans don’ t show interest in harvesting rainwater.
