文章主要介绍了大盐湖水位下降，湖泊萎缩，文章分析了其原因，带来的危害以及可以采取的措施。

16. Last fall, the Great Salt Lake hit its lowest level since record keeping began. The lake sank to nearly six meters below the long-term average.
The lake’s shrinking threatens to upend the ecosystem, disturbing the migration and survival of 10 million birds, including ducks and geese.
Duck hunters aren’t the only ones worried about the Great Salt Lake. The decades-long decline in lake level is raising alarm bells for millions of people who live in the region. The low lake level and increasing salts in the lake water threaten to destroy economic mainstays like agriculture, tourism and mining. Exposed salts can also reduce air quality and so threaten public health.
Saline lakes (咸水湖) are terminal lakes. They have no rivers flowing out of them. As water disappears, salts are left behind. At the same time, the people who live in these deserts use freshwater for crops, homes and industry. Residents get water from streams and rivers into canals, pipelines or reservoirs before it reaches the lakes. And as the lakes shrink, the salt in water increases.
Lake Poopo, a highland lake in Bolivia that used to stretch 90 kilometers long and 32 kilometers wide, is now a salty mud flat. The Aral Sea shared by Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, once the world’s fourth largest lake, has at times in recent decades shrunk to a tenth of its historic 68,000-square-kilometer surface area. Some saline lakes, like Nevada’s Winnemucca Lake, dried up so long ago — the waters that fed it were led to agricultural fields — that most people have forgotten they were ever wet.
The good news is that people still have time to halt the Great Salt Lake’s decline by using less water. Cutting agricultural and other outdoor water use by a third to half through a combination of voluntary conservation measures and policy changes would allow the lake to refill enough to support the region’s economy, ecology and quality of life. If this succeeds, the Great Salt Lake can be a model for how to save other saline lakes around the world.
1. What do we know about the Great Salt Lake from the first two paragraphs?
A．It is home to ducks.B．It will disappear soon.
C．It will be less important.D．It’s been shrinking for years.
2. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about saline lakes?
A．Their current states.B．The challenges they face.
C．Measures to restore them.D．Reasons why they become saltier.
3. What does the underlined word “halt” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A．Stop.B．Boost.C．Adapt.D．Learn.
4. What can be the best title of this text?
A．The Great Salt Lake Is Getting Smaller
B．The World Is Becoming Drier and Drier
C．Saline Lakes Need Freshwater Deadly
D．Many Lakes in the World will Disappear
