Our demand for water is constantly increasing. Every year there are more and more people in the world.
Factories turn out more and more products and need more and more water. We live in a world of water. But almost
all of it – about 97% - is in the oceans. This water is too salty to be used for drinking, farming, and manufacturing.

’
s water is fresh. Most of this water is not easily available to man because it is locked in
glaciers icecaps.
There is as much water on earth today as there ever was or will ever be. Most of the water we use finds its
way to the oceans. There, it is evaporated by the sun. It then falls back to the earth as rain. Water is used and
reused over and over again. It is never used up
Although the world as a whole has plenty of fresh water, some regions have a water shortage. Rain does
not fall evenly over the earth. Some regions are always too dry, and others too wet. A region that usually gets

Ever since humans inhabited the earth, they have made use of various form of communication. Generally,
this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is language barrier,
communication is accomplished through sign language in which the motions stand for letters, words, and ideas.
Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole

words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, can not.
Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink
can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head
indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille ( a system of raised dots read with fingertips),
signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people
While verbalisation is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express
human thoughts and feelings.
61, Which of the following best summarize the passage?
A.When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of communication
B.Everybody uses only one form of communication
C.Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to foreigners
D.Although other forms of communication exist, verbalization is the fastest
62, All of the following statements are true EXCEPT …….
A. there are many forms of communication in existence today
B.verbalisation is the most common form of communication
C.the deaf and the mute use oral form of communication
