二、课文解析
1.Rapid agricultural and industrial development plus huge population growth has meant that not only is the amount of water taken from the river rising, but the waste being put back into the river has also been increasing. （page 38, lines 2-4）
not only is the amount of water是倒装分句，当not only…bust also连接两个分句, not only位于第一个分句句首用以强调加强语气时，应进行局部倒装。例如：
Not only did we lose all our money, but we also came close to losing our lives.
Not only does he studies hard，but also he works well.
2.The pollution of the river has resulted in unsafe drinking water which has led to health problems for people living near the river.（page 38, lines 9-10）
