After five long years, it appears California’s drought is finally becoming less severe. ___81___ a recent string of storms, more than a third of the state has now welcomed healthy precipitation (降水量), and California’s snowpack—a(n) ___82___ source of water as the year progresses—has reached nearly twice its seasonal average in some parts of the Sierra Nevada. That’s a dramatic improvement over last summer, when literally every inch of the state ___83___ drought conditions. It’s also welcome news for Californians, who have faced a series of water ___84___ since Governor Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency in early 2014. Farmers have been forced to spend heavily to maintain production.
The state’s water struggles, ___85___, are far from over. For one, nobody knows for sure how long these rains will last. Although recent precipitation has been ___86___—in some places more than 80 inches—the accuracy of storm forecasting remains ___87___ beyond a week. Californians know this all too well: last year, experts projected a “Godzilla” El Ni o that would bring record levels of precipitation. It never ___88___. “Will six weeks from now be wet ” asks Jeanine Jones, California’s interstate water-resources manager. “The skill in that kind of forecasting is just not there.”
___89___, a storm slowdown is a very real possibility—and it could leave California without enough water to make it through the dry summer. ____90____, when that happens, the state has turned to groundwater stored in natural rock formations deep beneath the earth’s surface. But those ____91____ remain used up after years of drought; restoring them could take years in some places, says Jones.
The quick inrush of water has also created a(n) ____92____ balancing act for water managers. Keeping surface reservoirs (水库) filled to the edge protects against the possibility of a sudden dry spell, but it also
____93____ the risk of flooding if and when future storms hit. To that end, water managers opened the Sacramento Weir floodgates earlier this month to pour reservoir water into nearby fields after ____94____ showed local water levels would likely continue to rise. That’s a calculation that will be made across the state in the coming months.
For now, though, Jones is focused on planning and ensuring the state’s water supply whatever may happen. “We’re halfway through our wettest season, and conditions have been encouraging,” she says. “I would say we’re ____95____ optimistic.”

(历史上，当这种情况发生时，该州转向储存在地表深处天然岩层中的地下水。)”可知，以前发生干旱时，都会借助储存在地表深层的地下水，这是水储备的一种方式。故选D项。
92．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：水的快速涌入也为水资源管理者创造了一种易被破坏的平衡行为。A. random随机的；B. delicate易被破坏的；C. mechanical机械的；D. insensible无知觉的。根据下文“Keeping surface reservoirs (水库) filled to the edge protects against the possibility of a sudden dry spell, but it also heightens the risk of flooding if and when future storms hit. (保持地表水库填充到边缘可以防止突然干旱的可能性，但如果未来风暴来袭，也会增加洪水的风险。)”可知，水的快速涌入很容易破坏平衡，同时可能造成干旱和洪水，即这种平衡很容易被破坏。故选B项。

94．考查名词词义辨析。句意：为此，在预测显示当地水位可能会继续上升后，水务管理人员于本月早些时候打开了萨克拉门托堰的闸门，将水库水倒入附近的田地。A. restorations恢复；B. calculations计算；C. conditions状况；D. projections预测。根据下文“That’s a calculation that will be made across the state in the coming months. (这是未来几个月将在全州范围内进行的计算。)”可知，此处提及的未来几个月将会进行计算就是一种预测。故选D项。
