Imagine being told not to drink,shower,or brush your teeth with tap water.That's what happened to people of Toledo,Ohio,and parts of Michigan after tap water coming from Lake Erie was found to be unsafe.Hundreds of thousands of people were affected.
As a temporary solution,bottled water was trucked into the area and the Ohio National Guard was purifying(凈化) water for people.But by Monday morning,the ban had been removed.“Our water is safe,” said Toledo mayor D.Michael Collins.“Families can return to normal life.”To reassure people,he took a sip from a glass of the city's tap water.
Toledo is Ohio's fourth largest city.News about the water ban came after tests at one water-treatment plant showed high levels of the toxin microcystin(微囊藻毒素).Algae(藻類) caused the toxin.Following the warning,Ohio Governor John Kasich declared a state of emergency.Drinking the contaminated water could cause vomiting,cramps,and rashes(嘔吐、腹部絞痛和疹).
To try to solve the problem,city officials added carbon and chlorine(氯) to the water.Test results on Sunday showed that the toxins had probably reached a safe level,but Mayor Collins said two tests had come back “too close for comfort”.It wasn't until Monday that the mayor announced that six new water samples had come back clean and safe to drink.
Tap water accounts for two-thirds of the drinking water consumed in homes across the US.Officials test the quality of the water to make sure it is healthy for people to drink.During the emergency in Ohio and Michigan,officials began to talk about how to stop pollutants from polluting Lake Erie.The lake supplies drinking water to 11 million people and the toxins that polluted the region's drinking water didn't just suddenly appear.
Toledo mayor D.Michael Collins said that,going forward,scientists and political leaders need to come together and figure out how to solve the algae problem in Lake Erie.

6.D.Michael Collins drank the city's tap water just to ________.
A.compare it with purified water
B.show it was dangerous to drink
C.act as a temporary solution
D.show it was safe to drink
答案 D [推理判斷題。根據第二段“‘Families can return to normal life.’To reassure people,he took a sip from a glass of the city's tap water.”可推知,柯林斯市長之所以喝自來水,是為了證明自來水已經可以安全飲用,以此來打消人們的顧慮。]
7.What does the underlined word “contaminated” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Polluted.
B.Clean.
C.Dirty.
D.Improved.
答案 A [詞義猜測題。根據畫線詞上文“News about the water ban came after tests at one water-treatment plant showed high levels of the toxin microcystin.”可知,禁水令開始于一水處理廠的測試顯示水中超標的微囊藻毒素。再根據畫線詞下文“cause vomiting,cramps,and rashes”可知
8.What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?
A.The tests on adding chlorine to the water.
