Ⅴ Read the passage and finish the following tasks.
The Colorado River is one of the most significant rivers in the US. It is about 2,330 kilometres long. It begins in the central Rocky Mountains of Colorado and flows southwest toward the sea in Mexico.
This river is "the lifeline of the Southwest" in America. It passes through seven states and provides fresh
drinking water for over 40 million people. Farms, factories, and tourism greatly depend on it. Many dams have been built to store water and make electricity for cities. The Hoover Dam is the largest one along the river.
However, the water in the Colorado River is almost used up by the time it reaches its destination. Due to climate change, there is less snow in the mountains, which means less water flow into the river. The Southwest has been facing its worst situation in recent years. Although the river's water has become less, the need for it has grown. Over the last twenty years, the river has lost about 20% of its flow, and very little water is making its way into Mexico. Scientists now predict that the river may never reach the sea again.
Because of this challenge, the seven states that depend on the river for water have decided to cut their use by about 25%. However, this appears to be a challenging task. Since 1922, an agreement known as the Colorado River Compact was established to govern how the seven states share the river's water. Unluckily, this agreement only works when there is plenty of water and doesn't help during dry periods. It's clear that what we're doing now is not enough.
In fact, not only the Colorado River, but many other rivers around the world are also in danger of running dry. Their water levels are dropping. It's time for all of us to take action and do our part to stop rivers from disappearing.
