Australians have been warned they face a life or death decision over their water —— drink

Australians have been warned they face a life or death decision over their water —— drink recycled sewage(污水) or die.
With the drought(干旱) continuing, the country is set to be forced to use purified waste water for drinking, even if there is great opposition to the measure
Queensland has become the first state to introduce the policy after a warning from its premier.
“I think in the end, because of the drought, all of Australia is going to end up drinking recycled purified water,” said former Premier Peter Beattie. “These are difficult decisions, but you either drink water or you die. There’s no choice. It's liquid gold; it a matter of life and death.”
Beattie said Australia's second largest state would become the first to use recycled water for drinking．
Water is recycled in Britain and parts of northern Europe along with the US and Israel．
But Australians have never liked the idea．
To try to change the way Australians think, John Howard and Environment Minister Malcolm Turnbull have Supported Queensland’s move.
“I am very strongly for recycling and Mr Beattie is right and I agree with him completely,” Howard said．
“Australian cities, all now facing water shortages because of the worst drought on record, must start to use recycled water,” added Turnbull. “All of our big cities have to widen the range of water sources to include sources which are not dependent on rainfall.”

(答案→)B 解析：文章主要讲述了澳大利亚干旱的问题。人们不得不使用饮用循环水。【小题1】B 主旨大意题。文章第一，二段指出本文的主题：持续干旱让澳大利亚人将被迫饮用循环水。下文具体介绍了澳大利亚不得不采取这项措施，度过难过，这是生死攸关的大事。【小题2】A 正误判断题。由最后一段Australian cities, all now facing water shortages because of the worst drought on record, must start to use recycled water,可知A正确。故选A【小题3】C 推理判断题。由第四段中的difficult decisions ，There’s no choice. It's liquid gold; it a matter of life and death.”可推出总理Peter Beattie看到人们和循环水是件痛苦的事，但对此别无选择。

这个答案应该是对的
