Americans use more water than any other people in the world. If we continue to use water at the rate we do now, we will soon not have enough to meet our needs. In 1980, 40 billion gallons were used each day in the United States. In 1990, 700 billion gallons were used. The average Americans uses almost 90 gallons of water a day for personal use. And much move water is needed to make the things American people like to have. For example, it takes thousands of gallons of water to make one pound of beef for the dinner table. It takes more than 100,000 gallons of water to make a car. If we include these uses of water, the average American uses about 2000 gallons of water a day.
What is the author’s opinion ______.
A．Americans don’t have enough water.
B．Americans don’t use enough water.
C．Americans like to use water.
D．Americans use too much water.
参考答案：D
解析： 作者观点题。A项说美国没有足够的水了，但是文章只是说如果继续这样用下去以后可能会不够用了，所以A项不正确。B项说美国人用的水还不够多，但是作者列举了许多的数据都是为了说明美国人用水太多了。C项说美国人喜欢用水，这个结论没法从作者的说明中推断出来。D项说美国人用了太多水，这个符合作者的意图。所以答案选D。
