Early peoples had no need of engineering works to supply their water. Hunters and nomads camped near natural sources of fresh water, and populations were so sparse that pollution of the water supply was not a serious problem. After community life developed and agricultural villages became urban centers, the problem of supplying water became important for inhabitants of a city, as well as for irrigation of the farms surrounding the city. Irrigation works were known in prehistoric times, and before 2000 BC the rulers of Babylonia and Egypt constructed systems of dams and canals to impound the flood waters of the Euphrates and Nile rivers, controlling floods and providing irrigation water throughout the dry season. Such irrigation canals also supplied water for domestic purposes. The first people to consider the sanitation of their water supply were the ancient Romans, who constructed a vast system of aqueducts to bring the clean waters of the Apennine Mountains into the city and built basins and filters along these mains to ensure the clarity of the water. The construction of such extensive water-supply systems declined when the Roman Empire disintegrated, and for several centuries local springs and wells formed the main source of domestic and industrial water.

The invention of the force pump in England in the middle of the 16th century greatly extended the possibilities of development of water-supply systems. In London, the first pumping waterworks was completed in 1562; it pumped river water to a reservoir about 37 m above the level of the River Thames and from the reservoir the water was distributed by gravity, through lead pipes, to buildings in the vicinity. Increased per-capita demand has coincided with water shortages in many countries. Southeast England, for example, receives only 14 per cent of Britain's rainfall, has30 per cent of its population, and has experienced declining winter rainfall since the 1980s.

In recent years a great deal of interest has been shown in the conversion of seawater to fresh water to provide drinking water for very dry areas, such as the Middle East. Several different processes, including distillation, electrodialysis, reverse osmosis, and direct-freeze evaporation, have been developed for this purpose. Some of these processes have been used in large facilities in the United States. Although these processes are successful, the cost of treating seawater is much higher than that for treating fresh water.

Dịch bài đọc:

Loài người thuở sơ khai không cần đến các công trình với mục đích cung cấp nước. Thợ săn và du mục thường cắm trại ở gần các nguồn nước sạch tự nhiên và dân cư thì quá thưa thớt để việc cung cấp nước trở thành 1 vấn đề cấp thiết. Sau khi cuộc sống cộng đồng phát triển và các ngôi làng nông nghiệp trở thành các trung tâm đô thị thì vấn đề cung cấp nước đã trở nên quan trọng đối với các cư dân thành thị cũng như là việc tưới tiêu cho các nông trại ở xung quanh thành phố. Công việc tưới tiêu đã được biết tới từ thời tiền sử và trước năm 2000 trước Công nguyên, nhà thống trị đế chế Babylon và Ai Cập đã cho xây dựng các hệ thống đập và kênh rạch để ngăn nước lũ từ sông Euphrates và sông Nile, qua đó kiểm soát lũ lụt và cung cấp nước phục vụ cho công cuộc tưới tiêu vào mùa khô. Nước từ các kênh rạch đồng thời cũng được cung cấp để phục vụ cho mục đích dân sinh. Người đầu tiên cân nhắc tới việc đảm bảo vệ sinh cho việc cung cấp nước chính là những người La Mã cổ, họ đã cho xây dựng 1 hệ thống thủy điện cỡ lớn để dẫn nước sạch từ dãy Apennine xuống các thành phố và cho xây dựng thêm các lưu vực và bộ lọc chạy dọc theo các ống dẫn để đảm bảo độ sạch của nước. Việc xây dựng các hệ thống cung cấp nước rộng lớn như vậy đã suy tàn khi mà Đế chế La Mã sụp đổ, và trong nhiều thế kỷ, nguồn nước chủ yếu là được lấy từ các suối và giếng để phục vụ mục đích dân sinh và công nghiệp.

Việc phát minh ra máy bơm ở Anh vào giữa thế kỷ 16 đã mở rộng đáng kể tiềm năng phát triển các hệ thống cấp nước. Ở London, máy bơm nước đầu tiên được hoàn thành vào năm 1562, nó bơm nước sông Thames vào hồ chứa cao hơn khoảng 37 m so với mực nước sông và từ hồ chứa đó, nước được phân bổ đi bằng cách hút, rồi đi qua các đường ống dẫn đến các tòa nhà trong những vùng lân cận.

Nhu cầu của số bình quân đầu người tăng cao khiến cho sự thiếu hụt nước xảy ra trên phạm vi nhiều quốc gia. Khu vực phía Đông Nam nước Anh là 1 ví dụ, trong khi chỉ nhận được 14% trên tổng lượng mưa nước Anh nhưng lại chứa tới 30% tổng số dân trên toàn quốc, và có lượng mưa mùa đông bị giảm đi từ những năm 1830. Trong những năm gần đây, có rất nhiều sự quan tâm dành cho công cuộc biến nước biển thành nước sạch để phục vụ cho các vùng hạn hán, chẳng hạn như Trung Đông. Trong đó có một vài quá trình bao gồm trưng cất, thẩm tách bằng điện, thẩm thấu ngược, bốc hơi đã được phát triển để phục vụ cho mục đích này. Một số quá trình này đã được sử dụng trong các cơ sở lớn ở Hoa Kỳ. Nhưng mặc dù có thành công đi chăng nữa thì chi phí cho việc xử lí nước biển vẫn cao hơn rất nhiều so với chi phí xử lí nước sạch.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the question.

Urban populations interact with their environment. Urban people change their environment through their consumption of Food, energy, water, and land. And in turn, the polluted urban environment affects the health and quality of life of the urban population. People who live in urban areas have very different consumption patterns than residents in rural areas. For example, urban populations consume much more food, energy, and durable goods than rural populations. In China during the 1970s, the urban populations consumed twice as much pork as the rural populations who were raising the pigs. With economic development, the difference in consumption declined as the rural populations ate better diets. But even a decade later, urban populations had 60 percent more pork in their diets than rural populations. The increasing consumption of meat is a sign of growing affluence in Beijing; in India where many urban residents are vegetarians, greater prosperity is seen in higher consumption of milk.

Urban populations not only consume more food, but they also consume more durable goods, In the early 1990s, Chinese households in urban areas were two times more likely to have a TV, eight times more likely to have a washing machine, and 25 times more likely to have a refrigerator than rural households. This increased consumption is a function of urban labor markets, wages, and household structure.

Urban consumption of energy helps create heat islands that can change local weather patterns and weather downwind from the heat islands. The heat island phenomenon is created because cities radiate heat back into the atmosphere at rate 15 percent to 30 percent less than rural areas. The combination of the increased energy consumption and difference in albedo (radiation) means that cities are warmer than rural areas (0.6 to 1.3 C), And these heat islands become traps for atmospheric pollutants. Cloudiness and fog occur with greater frequency. Precipitation is 5 percent to 10 percent higher in cities; thunderstorms and hailstorms are much more frequent, but snow days in cities are less common.

Urbanization also affects the broader regional environments. Regions downwind from large industrial complexes also see increases in the amount of precipitation, air pollution, and the number of days with thunderstorms. Urban areas affect not only the weather patterns, but also the runoff patterns for water. Urban areas generally generate more rain, but they reduce the infiltration of water and lower the water tables. This means that runoff occurs more rapidly with greater peak flows. Flood volumes increase, as do floods and water pollution downstream.

Many of the effects of urban areas on the environment are not necessarily linear. Bigger urban areas do not always create more environmental problems. And small urban areas can cause large problems. Much of what determines the extent of the environmental impacts is how the urban populations behave - their consumption and living patterns - not just how large they are.

Which of the following is TRUE about the food consumption of Chinese urban inhabitants?

A. People in urban areas ate less than those in rural areas in the past

B. Urban civilians prefer more milk in their diets than pork.

C. People breeding the pigs in the past often had less pork in their diets than those in urban areas.

D. The pork consumption in urban areas has experienced a downward trend

B. Cư dân đô thị thích sử dụng sữa trong bữa ăn hơn là thịt heo.

C. Những người nuôi heo trong quá khứ thường sử dụng ít thịt heo trong bữa ăn hơn là người dân ở các khu đô thị.

D. Mức tiêu thụ thịt heo ở các khu đô thị đã giảm xuống.

Căn cứ vào thông tin đoạn 2:

“People who live in urban areas have very different consumption patterns than residents in rural areas. For example, urban populations consume much more food, energy, and durable goods than rural populations. In China during the 1970s, the urban populations consumed twice as much pork as the rural populations who were raising the pigs. With economic development, the difference in consumption declined as the rural populations ate better diets. But even a decade later, urban populations

had 60 percent more pork in their diets than rural populations. The increasing consumption of meat is a sign of growing affluence in Beijing; in India where many urban residents are vegetarians, greater prosperity is seen in higher consumption of milk."

(Những người sống ở khu vực thành thị có mức tiêu thụ khác xa so với người dân ở vùng nông thôn. Ví dụ, cư dân đô thị tiêu thụ nhiều thực phẩm, năng lượng và hàng hóa lâu bền hơn so với cư dân nông thôn. Ở Trung Quốc, trong thập niên 1970, dân số đô thị tiêu thụ lượng thịt lợn gấp đôi lượng tiêu thụ của chính những người nuôi lợn. Với sự phát triển kinh tế sự khác biệt về mức tiêu thụ đã giảm đi khi dân số nông thôn có khẩu phần ăn tốt hơn. Nhưng đến một thập kỷ sau đó, lượng thịt lợn có trong chế độ ăn của người dân thành thị lại nhiều hơn 60% so với người dân nông thôn. Sự tiêu thụ thịt ngày càng tăng là dấu hiệu cuộc sống đang ngày càng sung túc ở Bắc Kinh; ở Ấn Độ nơi mà có nhiều cư dân thành thị ăn chay, sự phát triển được thể hiện trong mức tiêu thụ sữa cao hơn
