28、介词后面应该用动名词，所以填carrying。5is required考查时态、语态及主谓一致。根据整篇文章的时态及still的提示可知，此处应用一般现在时；由于句子的主语与require之间在逻辑上是动宾关系，主语为“a major effort”，所以用一般现在时的被动语态is required。6marks考查时态及主谓一致。根据本句中的is可知，此处应用一般现在时；由于主语是this year，为单数，因此应填marks。7to meet考查非谓语动词。此处与8空后的不定式是并列关系，都作is的表语，因此此处应填不定式to meet。8and考查连词。此处应用and连接两个并列的非谓语动词。9an考查冠词。这是人类发展与人类尊严的一件紧迫之事。此处表示泛指“一件”，因此用不定冠词an。10survival考查名词。世界水资源是我们生存的生命线。介词for后面应用提示词的名词形式作其宾语。
