A Southern California brewery has successfully tested a beer using treated sewage water. Stone Brewing, a large craft brewing operation headquartered in Escondido, presented its Full Circle Pale Ale to curious customers at an event lately in San Diego.
The new ale is made using recycled, treated sewage water and is part of San Diego's plan, 'pure Water San Diego’，to get a third of its water from recycled sources by 2021. And the verdict for the brew, which some have dubbed 'toilet tap’，seemed to be quite positive, SF Gate reported.
San Diego mayor Kevin Faulconer told the Times that the brew was 'fantastic' and added: There's no better way to highlight the purity of this water. Other patrons said the brew was outstanding and delicious. Stone Brewing's Senior Manager of Brewing and Innovation, Steve Gonzalez, created the beer and said that he was doubtful at first. But all doubts were dispelled when he tried his brew.
He told ABC 10: 'Among the pale ales that I've made, it's probably in the top three. 'The beer was made with three malts and three hops and has 'caramel and 'tropical fruit' notes. The recycled water only needed some salts before brewing. The brewery is used to using different water sources which in turn have different properties-following California's extreme drought conditions.
Stone Brewing hopes to make the Full Circle Pale Ale available soon.

第1题:A
第2题:C
第3题:D
第4题:B
第5题:D
1.细节事实题。第一段指出:A Southern California brewery has successfully tested a beer using treated sewage water (南加州的一家啤酒厂用处理过的污水成功地测试了一种啤酒)，第二段还指出: The new ale is made using recycled, treated sewage water (这种新的麦芽酒是用经过循环处理的污水制成的)。因此，A项“循环水啤酒”正确。
2.细节事实题。第二段指出: And the verdict for the brew, which some have dubbed 'toilet tap’，seemed to be quite positive (一些人称之为“马桶到水龙头”的啤酒反响似乎还不错)，因此C项“积极的，肯定的”正确。
3.细节事实题。第三段指出: Stone Brewing's Senior Manager of Brewing and Innovation, Steve Gonzalez, created the beer and said that he was doubtful at first. But all doubts were dispelled when he tried his brew (斯通酿酒公司负责酿造和创新的高级经理史蒂夫冈萨雷斯（Steve Gonzalez）创造了这款啤酒，并表示他一开始很怀疑。但当他试着冲泡时，所有的疑虑都消除了)。因此D项“一开始对这款啤酒心存怀疑”正确。
4.细节事实题。根据题干关键词“Pure Water San Diego”定位至第二段: The new ale is made using recycled, treated sewage water and is part of San Diego's plan,' pure Water San Diego, to get a third of its water from recycled sources by 2021 (这款新啤酒用的是处理过的回收污水，是圣地亚哥市“净水圣地亚哥”计划的一部分，目标是在2021年前实现三分之一的用水为回收水)。因此，B项 “到2021 年，回收三分之一的水”正确。
5.细节事实题。第四段指出: The brewery is used to using different water sources which in turn have different properties-following California's extreme drought conditions (加州极度缺水，因此酿酒厂常使用不同的水源，而这些水质也相应地有区别)。因此选D项“常使用不同水源”。
