The Antarctic Icecap is the largest supply of fresh water,representing nearly 2% of the world's total fresh and salt water. As can be seen from the table below,the amount of water in our atmosphere is over 10 times as much as the water in all the rivers taken together. The fresh water actually available for hu?man use in lakes and rivers and the accessible ground water amount to only about one third of 1 % of the world's total water supply.

1. D主旨大意題。文章主要介紹了全球水資源的儲備情況。故選D項。
2. A推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一句可知,人類可利用的淡水約占全球水總量百分之一的三分之一,再根據(jù)表格中提供的全球水總量為326.000.000 m3,可計算出結果約為1. 086.700 m3。
3. B細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)表格可知Antarctic Icecap淡水含量最多。
4. C細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)表格可以看出,Ground water within half a mile from surface和Deeplying ground water淡水含量一樣多。
