26、D项是水短缺的“因”。故选择D项。30Which of the following statements would the writer agree to?AIts nothing severe，so people neednt worry about the lack of water.BThe situation is severe，so people should do something to solve the water problem.CIn order to solve the water problem every country should carry on progr

36、r what she said that night.DThe mother didnt excuse her daughter.答案：C细节理解题。母亲照顾孩子是出于母爱，排除A项；依据第二段排除B项；依据最后一段排除D项。因而，正确答案为C。35From the last sentence of the text we can see that the writers mother _.Awas a careless womanBwasnt satisfied with her daughterCstill hated her daughterDwas a great mother and
37、 loved her children答案：D推理判断题。在作者看来，母亲的爱是无私的，不需要任何回报；母亲是伟大的，她能原谅孩子的任何过错。故选择D项。CMr.Peter Johnson，aged twentythree，battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water.Mr.Johnson took the only escape routethrough the boot(行李箱)Mr.Johnsons ca
