7、r is becoming increasingly scarce （缺乏）。 Half the worlds wetlands have disappeared during the last century， while estimates suggest that water use will rise by 50% in the next 30 years. The World Bank report estimates that as much as half of the worlds population， concentrated in Africa， the Middle E
8、ast and south Asia， will face severe water shortages by 2025. Local water conflicts and the loss of freshwater ecosystems appear large in some regions. A similar picture emerges from the globes salt water regions. Three-quarters of the worlds people may live within 100km of the sea in 2025， putting
9、even more pressure on stretched coastal ecosystems. Two thirds of fisheries （渔业） are exploited at or beyond their sustainable limits， and half the worlds coral reefs （珊瑚礁） may perish in 100 years. Almost 60% of coral reefs and 34% of fish species are at risk from human activities， the Bank says. The
10、 report concludes that there is ample evidence to justify immediate and coordinated action to safeguard supplies and use water more efficiently. Fresh water consumption is rising quickly， and the availability of water in some regions is likely to become one of the most pressing issues of the 21st ce
11、ntury. A third of the worlds population - around two billion people - live in countries that are experiencing moderate to high water shortages. That proportion could rise to half or more in the next 30 years unless institutions （制度） change to ensure better conservation and allocation of water. China
12、 is one country where the portents （征兆） are gloomy. The most water-stressed country in East Asia， China is exploiting 44% of its usable water， a figure projected to rise to 60% by 2020. Primary withdrawal of water of more than 60% is widely considered by water experts to exceed the environmental car
13、rying capacity of a river basin system. Although Chinas total use appears still to be reasonable， it has several basins that are severely stressed environmentally. Withdrawals exceed environmental limits in Afghanistan and Pakistan， and will exceed them in India by 2020. In the Middle East and North
14、 Africa， only Morocco has unexploited water resources.

18、But this is more than an environmental or moral tragedy （悲剧）。 Chimpanzee extinction may also have profound implications （含意） for the survival of their distant relatives - human beings. 2In 1975 the biologist Marie-Claire King and Allan Wilson discovered that the human and chimpanzee genomes （基因组） ma
19、tch by over 98%. Compare this to the mouse， used as model for human disease in lab tests， which shares only 60% of its DNA with us. In fact， chimpanzees are far more similar to humans than they are to any other species of monkey. As well as resembling us genetically， chimps are highly intelligent an
20、d able to use tools. These facts alone should be enough to make protection of chimps an urgent priority （优先）。 But there is another， more selfish reason to preserve the chimp. 3The chimpanzees trump card （王牌） comes in the field of medical research. Chimpanzees are so similar to humans that veterinari
21、ans （兽医） often refer to human medical textbooks when treating them. Yet chimpanzees do show differences in several key areas. In particular， chimps are much more resistant to a number of major diseases. It is this ability that is so interesting. 4For example， chimps seem to show a much higher resist
22、ance than humans to HIV， the virus that causes AIDS. Indeed， their use as experimental animals in AIDS research has declined because they are so resistant. 5By sequencing the chimp genome and pinpointing （找到） the place where the chimpanzee DNA sequence differs from that of humans， scientists hope to
23、 be able to discover which part of the genetic code gives chimps their increased resistance to some diseases. This， they hope， will allow them to develop new and more effective treatments for the human forms of these diseases. Such treatments could include the production of new drugs or even the alt
