每年的3月22日是世界水日，這個日子是提醒人們注意保護水資源，因為現在水資源短缺已經成為了一個嚴重的問題。短文中通過舉例子給我們闡述了這一問題。

【1】句意：它的目標是讓人們和政府想起我們最寶貴的資源之一。根據句意可知，這句話介紹設立世界水日的目標，有了這個日子，我們就能夠想起水資源的寶貴。故應選B，think about，意為“考慮，想起”。

【2】句意：你能想象沒有了水世界是什么樣的嗎？根據上文可知，水資源是非常重要的，因此我們無法想象一個沒有水的世界。故這里應選E，without意為“沒有”。

【3】句意：現在我們正面臨越來越多的環(huán)境危機，例如水污染和水資源短缺。根據文意可知，環(huán)境危機越來越多，故這里應用increasing日益增多的，漸增的。

【4】句意：必須馬上采取措施節(jié)約和保護水。根據上文的文意可知，水資源短缺已經成為了一個嚴重的問題，因此需要馬上采取措施，故這里填immediately，意為“立刻，馬上”。
