7、ngly scarce (缺乏)。 Half the worlds wetlands have disappeared during the last century, while estimates suggest that water use will rise by 50% in the next 30 years. The World Bank report estimates that as much as half of the worlds population, concentrated in Africa, the Middle East and south Asia, wi
8、ll face severe water shortages by 2025. Local water conflicts and the loss of freshwater ecosystems appear large in some regions. A similar picture emerges from the globes salt water regions.

9、stretched coastal ecosystems. Two thirds of fisheries (渔业) are exploited at or beyond their sustainable limits, and half the worlds coral reefs (珊瑚礁) may perish in 100 years.

11、worlds population - around two billion people - live in countries that are experiencing moderate to high water shortages. That proportion could rise to half or more in the next 30 years unless institutions (制度) change to ensure better conservation and allocation of water. China is one country where
12、the portents (征兆) are gloomy. The most water-stressed country in East Asia, China is exploiting 44% of its usable water, a figure projected to rise to 60% by 2020. Primary withdrawal of water of more than 60% is widely considered by water experts to exceed the environmental carrying capacity of a ri
13、ver basin system. Although Chinas total use appears still to be reasonable, it has several basins that are severely stressed environmentally. Withdrawals exceed environmental limits in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and will exceed them in India by 2020. In the Middle East and North Africa, only Morocco

18、an environmental or moral tragedy (悲剧)。 Chimpanzee extinction may also have profound implications (含意) for the survival of their distant relatives - human beings. 2In 1975 the biologist Marie-Claire King and Allan Wilson discovered that the human and chimpanzee genomes (基因组) match by over 98%. Compa

In fact, chimpanzees are far more similar to humans than they are to any other species of monkey. As well as resembling us genetically, chimps are highly intelligent and able to use tools. T
20、hese facts alone should be enough to make protection of chimps an urgent priority (优先)。 But there is another, more selfish reason to preserve the chimp. 3The chimpanzees trump card (王牌) comes in the field of medical research. Chimpanzees are so similar to humans that veterinarians (兽医) often refer t

It is this ability that is so interesting. 4For example, chimps seem to show a much higher resistance than humans to HI
22、V, the virus that causes AIDS.

23、hich part of the genetic code gives chimps their increased resistance to some diseases.
