V Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 26 to 35.
Over the past century our water consumption increased tenfold According to the World Health Organization, 1.1 billion people have no access to clean drinking water
On our blue planet 97.5% of the water is salt water, unfit for human use The majority of fresh water is beyond our reach, locked into polar snow and ice Less than 1% of fresh water is usable, amounting to only 0.01% of the Earth’s total water Even this would be enough to support the world’s population three times over, if used with care
However, water- like population - isn’t distributed evenly Asia has the greatest annual availability of fresh water and Australia the lowest But when population is taken into account the picture looks very different.
Our increasing thirst is a result of growing population, industrial development and the expansion of irrigated farming In the past 40 years, the area of irrigated land has doubled
By the mid-1990s, 80 countries home to 40% of world population encountered serious water shortages Worst affected are Africa and the Middle East By 2025 two-thirds of the world’s people will be facing water stress The global demand for water will have grown by over 40% by then The only ray of hope is that the growth in actual use of water has been slower than predicted

Trang 4The recommended basic water requirement per person per day is 50 liters But people can get by with about 30 liters: 5 liters for drinking and cooking and another 25 to maintain hygiene The reality for millions comes nowhere near
Some 97% of liquid freshwater is stored underground in aquifers People, especially in rural areas, are increasingly dependent
on groundwater - up to 2 billion people, a third of the world’s population, rely on it Yet, aquifers are most severely depleted in parts of India, China, the US, North Africa and the Middle East It can take centuries for aquifers to recharge, so the world is currently running a groundwater overdraft of 200 billion cubic meters a year Pollution is a major problem, resulting from human and farm animal waste, naturally occurring toxins, as well as the over 10 million different synthetic chemicals in use today
59 Most of the water on our planet is for human use.
60 Mankind’s water consumption increased ten over the past century
61 Like population, water is not evenly on our planet
62 Population should be taken into account to produce a comprehensive of world water distribution.
63 Countries most by water shortages are in Africa and the Middle East
64 The world demand for water will have grown by over 40% by .
65 We can only hope that the actual use of water has more slowly than predicted
66 People need at least of water per day for drinking, cooking and maintaining hygiene
67 More than of the world population are dependent on groundwater
68 Each year the world uses 200 billion cubic meters aquifers can recharge
