Australians have been warned they face a life or death decision over their water-drink recycled sewage(污水) or die.
With the drought(干旱) continuing, the country is set to be forced to use purified(凈化的) waste water for drinking, even though there is great opposition to the measure.
Queensland has become the first state to introduce the policy after a warning from its premier(總理).
“I think in the end, because of the drought, all of Australia is going to end up drinking recycled purified water,” said Peter Beattie.
“These are difficult decisions, but you either drink water or you die. There's no choice. It's liquid gold, it's a matter of life and death.”
Beattie said Australia's second largest state would become the first to use recycled water for drinking.
Water is recycled in Britain and parts of northern Europe along with the US and Israel.
But Australians have rebutted the idea.
To try to change the way of Australians think, Prime Minister John Howard and Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull have backed Queensland's move.
“I am very strongly in favour of recycling and Mr Beattie is right and I agree with him completely,” Howard said.
Turnbull added that Australian cities, all now facing water shortages because of the worst drought on record, must start to use recycled water.
“All of our big cities have to widen the range of water sources to include sources which are not dependent on rainfall,” he said.
1.What would the BEST title for the passage be?
A. It's Life or Death

One year ago, I traveled 15,000 kilometers from Australia to the US. I am from a beachside town in the 16 of Sydney, and thought there would be almost no 17 differences between my home country and my 18 . I was surprised at how wrong I was, and at 19 different the two countries could be.
The United States is 20 in almost every aspect. The buildings are gigantic (巨大的) and so are the people who 21 and work in them. At mealtimes, the portions (份額) often 22 to me to be big enough for three or four people. I once 23 a baked potato which turned out to be bigger than my head! This was a big 24 for me.
The longer I spent in the US, the more I started to 25 smaller differences like the culture of 26 in restaurants. In Australia we don’t tend to give a tip 27 the service has been really excellent. In the US you tip for 28 everything, even at the hairdresser. Waiters and shop assistants 29 to be given 15 percent of the bill, although in places 30 New York or Washington DC, a tip can be as much as 20 percent.
31 , I also became more wary (謹慎的) of believing the stereotypes (成見) I had heard at home as I traveled. Not all Americans are ignorant of geography, for example.
Despite this, certain stereotypes about places did seem to 32 true for me. There is an immense (強烈的) sense of speed in New York. Everyone 33 to and fro, and very seldom takes time to 34 the moment. This is very different from the Australian lifestyle. Australians are laid back. Even in a major city like Sydney, we “Aussies” take time to “stop and smell the roses”---very different from our American counterparts.
Navigating (駕馭) the culture divide between Australia and the US was challenging at times. But I took up that 35 and learned a lot from it. It was an adventure.

閱讀下面短文,掌握其大意,然后從21-30各題所給的A、B、C和D項中選出最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
Richard Rice, a fast-talking man paced up and down in front of the freshmen debate class, telling us about his high expectations. We were special, he declared on our first day at Oak Park High School. But there would be no 21 to success. Only those who worked hard would shine.
Suddenly Mr. Rice 22 in mid-sentence and looked at me. “You know,” he said “you’re black!” Somehow, I knew he wasn’t trying to hurt me.
Mr. Rice was no 23 teacher. I entered high school not even quite sure what debate was. I left his class four years later as an outstanding debater. Even today, I am not sure what 24 such a great teacher of him. He always said whatever he was thinking. And he was 25 . He would march out of the classroom 26 if he thought a student was giving less than his effort. The worse thing with us was to be taken no notice of. Instead, being torn apart by Mr. Rice in the middle of a practice debate meant you were one of his favorites.
He wasn’t always 27 on us. I’ll never forget the National Student Debate, at which my calm delivery and my firm grasp of the problems disappeared. The only face I could make out in the audience was Mr. Rice’ s face. I could 28 I was doing terrible just by looking at him. After it was over, he came over to me. “Not my best 29 ,” I said. He shook his head, “No.” Then, to my surprise, he gave me a hug.
Mr. Rice’s style didn’t make him a great teacher for everyone. Many kids 30 out of the debate class after the first year. But for me four years with him was my unforgettable experience.
