48、heet.Questi ons 61 to 65 are based on the follow ing passage.Scie ntists say there has bee n a severe decrease in theamount of water in Lake Chad in northern Africa in the lastthirty years. They reported that nature and humansshare equal blame for this loss.In 1963, the fresh-water lake covered 25,0

49、00 squarekilometers. Nowthe lake is only about five percent of that size.It measures only about 1,300 square kilometers in the dryseason.Four nations surround Lake Chad. People in Niger, Nigeria,Chad, and Cameroon use it for water, fish and plant life.Michael Coe and Jon atha n Foley, water experts

50、at theUni versity of Wisc onsin in Madis on, reported on Lake Chad in a scienee journal. They say the area has suffered from a lack of heavy rain for more than thirty years. This has forced people to build systems to carry water to dry land. These irrigation systems further decrease the amount of la

51、ke water.Mr. Coe says Lake Chad will be only a small body of waterin the future. He says people still can get water from the lake to drink and for crops. But he says the lake will no Ion ger provide a healthy environment for fish and plant life.The researchers used a computer to study what caused th

52、ewater loss. Their computer study estimated the climate and amount of water in the area. The estimate started with written records from the early 1960s. Then the researchers compared the estimates with the area's recorded climate and water supply for the same period.The computer study showed res

53、ults similar to the recordedones for the first twenty years. But there was a big change in the 1980s. At the time, the lake got smaller much faster than the computer research had estimated.The researchers say that major irrigatio n systems werebuilt in the 1980s. The systems took water from two rive

54、rs that flow into Lake Chad. The Chari and Log one rivers carry most of the water that en ters the lake. The study showed that the in creased irrigatio n reduced the flow in the two rivers.Climate cha nges also were resp on sible for the reducti on. Theflow of the two rivers was reduced by almost se

55、ve nty-five perce nt.Scie ntists say the problem is expected to worse n in thecoming years as the populatio n and dema nd for water continued to in crease.Questi ons:61.
