C
A gadget which makes water out of air could become the greatest househo1d invention since the microwave.
Using the same technology as a dehumidifier(除湿器),the Water Mill is able to create a ready supply of drinking water because it can always get it from an unlimited source—the air.
The company behind the machine says not only does it offer an alternative to bottled water in
developed countries, but it is a solution for the millions who face a daily water shortage.
The machine works by drawing in wet air through a filter(过滤器)and over a cooling instrument which changes it into water droplets.It can produce up to 1 2 liters a day.The Water Mill will also produce more water when storms pass over, as the amount of water which is contained in the air increases. In keeping with its eco-development, the machine uses the same amount of electricity as three lights.
Inventor Jonathan Ritchey said: “The demand for water is off the chart. So people are looking for freedom from water distribution systems that are shaky and unreliable.”
The machine, which is about 3 feet wide, is likely to cost £800 when it goes on sale here in the spring. Its maker, Canadian Firm Element Four, roughly calculates that a litre of water cost around 20p to produce.
Environmentalists state that half the world’s population will face water shortage because of climate change by 2080. One in five is said to lack access to safe drinking.
The Water Mill is not effective in areas where the amount of water contained in the air is below about 30 percent, but in Britain that won’t be much of a problem.
63.What does the underlined word “it” refer do?
A.Drinking water. B.Invention. C.Microwave. D.Water Mill.
64.What do we learn about the machine?
A.It works in the same way as microwaves.
B.It is very expensive for families to afford.
C.It absorbs steam and turns it into water.
D.It helps to make the water clean to drink.
65.What does the passage lead us to believe?
A.The cost of water will go up. B.Bottled water will disappear sooner.
C.The machine is energy saving. D.The machine will be popular worldwide.
66.What’s the best title for the passage?
A.A New Way to Solve Water Problem. B.A Machine to Make Water out of Air.
C.A Dehumidifier to Produce Water. D.An Absolutely New Invention

A woman whose sports car was stolen with her dog in it put up notices all over the area that made it clear that getting back her pet was more important than her car.
“Whoever did this can keep my car.Please let Benjerman come home,” the notice said.
It is not known whether the thief showed any pity, but almost 30 hours after the 1 pm theft Friday, Kimberly Atkins of Dover and Benjerman,a 12-year-old black retriever(猎犬),were reunited after police located them in Barrington.
“He’s hungry, he’s dirty, but he’s very happy to be home,”Atkins said.
The car was found at about 5 pm Saturday off Route 125 in a swampy area frequented by off-the-road cars and dirt bikes.However, the police couldn’t control Benjerman,and they had to call Atkins to come and get him.
Atkins said the thief cared for Benjerman a little by providing him with some dry cat food.She believed Benjerman ended up drinking some muddy water in the area.
She said they have been together for nearly 11 years after she took him back from a society shelter in Dallas, Texas.
Before Benjerman was found,Atkins and several friends put up notices all over the city and in Somersworth.They also contacted animal shelters,throughout southern New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
The notice stated there was a reward,and also that the dog needed medication.Any caller could remain anonymous(匿名的).
Atkins had parked the car outside a hardware store with the keys inside and gone into rent a carpet cleaner.
“It was l0 minutes and I came out and my car was gone along with Benjerman in broad daylight,” Atkins said.The car thief threw Atkins’ wallet and other personal items out of the car before escaping from the scene.

阅读下面短文并回答问题, (请注意问题后的词数要求)。
[1]One person can make a difference. Just ask Ryan Hreljac, who is 15 and lives in Canada. Without his help, hundreds of wells that now provide fresh water for people in Africa, Central America, and India might never have been built. He travels the world to tell people how they can help solve a big problem: _______ in many developing countries.
[2] In 1998, when he was 6 years old, Ryan learned that children in Africa often must walk miles each day to find water. Some even die from drinking bad water in some developing countries, his teacher says. So Ryan decided to act. He spoke to schools, churches, and clubs about his goal. The word spread, and donations began coming in. After several months of hard work, Ryan had raised $2,000, enough to dig one well. An organization called Canadian Physicians for Aid and Relief chose a location for the well in the village of Agweo in Africa.
[3] After the first well, “the ripple effect took over,” Ryan says, “and one goal led to another.” Its website (www.ryanswell.ca) lists some of the famous people Ryan has met and the awards he has received. “The most impressive people I’ve met are the other kids who want to help, too,” he says. “The only reason I accept awards is that each word I say when I get one might help one more person.”
[4] Asked if he ever feels discouraged that many people still lack good water, Ryan says, “It’s important to be an optimist. I had a small dream, and I stayed with it. Everybody can do something.”
1. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? (no more 10 words)
_______________________________________________________________________
2. Explain the underlined sentence in Paragraph3 in English.
_______________________________________________________________________
3. For what purpose does Ryan accept awards? (no more 15 words)
________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
4. According to what Ryan said in Paragraph4, what is Ryan’s attitude toward his work? (no more 6 words)
________________________________________________________________________
5. Fill in the blank in Paragraph1 with proper words. (no more 8 words)
________________________________________________________________________
