You can also find inspiration in the many online gift guides. ____17____ — Gifts for Dads, Gifts for Golfers and such. Then you’ll get the idea.

Main Types of Water Pollution
When we think of Earth’s water resources, we think of huge oceans, lakes, and rivers. ___36___ The most obvious type of water pollution affects surface water. For example, a spill from an oil tanker creates an oil layer that can affect a vast area of an ocean.
___37___ A great deal of water is held in underground rock structures known as aquifers(含水层). Water stored underground in aquifers is known as groundwater. Aquifers feed our rivers and supply much of our drinking water. They can also become polluted, for example, when weedkillers used in people’s gardens drain into the ground.
Surface water and groundwater are the two types of water resources that pollution affects. ___38___ If pollution comes from a single location, such as a pipe attached to a factory, it is known as point source pollution. ___39___ A great deal of water pollution happens not from one single source but from many different sources. This is called nonpoint source pollution.
Sometimes pollution that enters the environment in one place has an effect hundreds or even thousands of miles away. ___40___ One example is the way radioactive waste travels through the oceans from unclear reprocessing plants in England and France to nearby countries such as Ireland and Norway. A. Besides, we think of bottled water.
B. This is known as transboundary (跨界的) pollution. C. Not all of Earth’s water sits on its surface, however. D. Water resources like these are called surface water.
E. There are also two different ways in which pollution can occur. F. Pouring oil from your car down a drain can lead to water pollution. G. Another example of point source pollution is an oil spill from a tanker. 【答案】36. D 37. C 38. E 39. G 40. B 【解析】

【广东省华附、省实、广雅、深中2019届高三上学期期末联考】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Identical twins are born when an egg divides into two, resulting in the birth of two children with identical genes. _____16_____ Some believe, however, that there is also a close connection between twins in the way they think, not just in the way they look. Twins finish each other’s sentences, and share the same tastes in clothes or music. Some have argued that identical twins have mysterious, even psychic, powers.
Although many identical twins claim to know what the other is thinking, there is no evidence to suggest that this is because of special powers. _____17_____ Most of us have met up with a brother or sister, or close friend, and immediately asked, “What’s wrong?” because we have unconsciously recognized, in their facial expression, that they are upset in some way. Signs we would miss in a stranger’s behavior are instantly obvious in the way those close to us act. It is hardly surprising that twins notice the way their brother or sister’s facial expressions or body language gives away how they feel. Indeed, the closeness of their bond is likely to improve this ability over the years.
The media is full of stories in which a twin senses her brother or sister to be in trouble. _____18_____ Damien Croft developed a bad headache one evening and, concerned, felt the need to phone his brother to check if everything was OK. When there was no reply, he drove to his brother’s home, only to find him unconscious, having had an epileptic fit (癫痫症) and fallen from a ladder while decorating. On the face of it, his sixth sense had saved the day. _____19_____ Damien knew his brother was decorating, and knew that he was prone to epileptic fits. Subconsciously concerned, he had just imagined the worst-case situation. _____20_____ A. We all know such twins are often very similar in appearance. B. The fact that something awful had happened was only a coincidence. C. In contrast, there are many other stories which can be more easily explained. D. In truth, of course, the events might also be explained in more ordinary terms.
E. Recent studies show the reasons of all those cases of mysterious happenings between identical twins.
