Part I Writing
  Precious Water
  No one doubts the importance of water. Human beings live on water, animals live on water, plants live on water and all living things live on water. You can’t imagine what would happen if there were no water in the world!
  China is one of the countries in the world that are badly short of water. Water problem has become more acute in recent years with the increase of water consumption and pollution. In big cities, the water problem has become even worse. With the growth of population, more and more water is needed. With the development of the industry, a large quantity of water has been and is being polluted. Water pollution is the most serious problem that China is facing. It has spread to rivers, lakes, and even the oceans.
In order to survive, man has to be wise enough to treasure water and try to prevent it from b
eing polluted. Man should also know that all resources in the world are limited, including water. Make good use of them, otherwise, man will be punished by nature. To treasure water is to treasure life; to protect our environment is to protect ourselves.

Part V Error Correction
62. burglar→burglary
  名词burglar意为“夜贼”,而burglary意为“盗窃”。结合上下文可知,此处表示的是一种行为,故应将burglar改为burglary。
63. it→there
  分析句意可知,此处应该是表示“有”的there be句型,所以应将第一个it改为there。
64. 去掉is
  本句中已有情态动词can作谓语,所以is是多余的,应该去掉。
65. the→a
  这里应当用不定冠词泛指某一大城市,而不应该用表特指的定冠词the。
66. what→that
  此处误用了定语从句的关系代词。what不能引导定语从句。此句先行词为不定代词something,那么关系代词就应该用that。
67. may→must
  此处误用了情态动词。根据句意,这里要表达的是“必须”之义,所以应将may改为must。
68. which→that
  本句是一个同位语从句,只有that可以作引导词,故应将which改为that。
69. of→to
  根据句意,此处表示的应该是“对于”之义,引导的是indicate的对象,应使用介词to。
70. unprotect→unprotected
  此处应为house的定语,而unprotect与其构成被动关系,所以应该用过去分词形式,故应将unprotect改为unprotected。
71. 去掉out
  本句中的complete为及物动词,表示“完成”,所以out是多余的,应该去掉。
