34、D. should1. C 解析：文章第一句便点题“在全世界可以使用的水的总量一直是人们感兴趣的”放引起下文“拥有泉水或溪流有时意味着控制”，故选owning。2. A 解析：因为下文提到like the desert所以此空为dry area。3. C 解析：“rich land”译为“富饶肥沃的土地”本句暗示出“人们控制水要比拥有富饶肥沃的土地还重要”。4. D 解析：uncommon译为“不寻常的”，本句中not uncommon”即为“common”便说明为争水而引起争斗打仗是常事可见水是重要的。5. A 解析：“make laws to do”制定法律做某事。6. B 解析：sett
35、lers译为外来殖民者。7. D 解析：as作为关系代词引导非限制性定语从句。8. B 解析：由上文可知水并不是像人们想的那样用之不完，取之不竭的，因此“there is not enough water”。9. C 解析：the amount of大量的。10. B 解析：require“要求”根据上下文可知用水要求有计划节约使用。11. A 解析：根据上下文选effectively译为“有效地”。12. D 解析：according to介词短语，意为“根据”。13. A 解析：correct water supply forecast中correct译为正确的或准确的。14. D 解析：该空与上文below相时使用，故填above。15. B 解析：rising表示增加，此空需填不及物动词。16. C 解析：mountain tops山顶上。17. B 解析：make use of固定词组，译为“使用、利用”。18. D 解析：gathered一词译为“收集到的”过去分词作定语。19. C 解析：press a button按开关。20. C 解析：用情态动词will更含有一种趋势，可能性。
