More than one billion people currently live in environments where water is in short supply，making water one of the most highly prized natural resources. Scientists are always searching for ways to increase access to this valuable resource. They may have found a solution in an unlikely area：one of the driest places Earth.
The Namib Desert in Africa is one of the world’s driest places，while the Namib beetle is a unique organism that grows in this environment because of its amazing physical adaptation. The wings of the Namib beetle are filled with bumps and grooves（槽）that help it collect water from the air. The top of each bump is smooth like glass and attracts water. But the slopes of each bump and the grooves in between the bumps have waxy（光滑的）surfaces that repel water. Each time the fog occurs，the beetle positions its body at a 45-degree angle to the wind. as the wind pushes the fog across the desert，each bump on the beetle’s back collects water. When enough moisture has been collected from the fog，a drop rolls off the bumps into the waxy grooves and then into the mouth of the beetle.
Scientists are using the Namib beetles wing design as a guide for creating their own water-collection surfaces. They have inserted dozens of glass globes into thin layers of wax. Similar to the bumps and grooves on the wings of the beetle, the smooth glass bubbles collect water, while the wax repels it By placing the glass-and-wax panels in environments with high-moisture air, the scientists think they will be able to collect water.
The Namib beetle’s wing design may also provide unexpected solutions to other problems. In areas where thick fog causes chaos, panels of these water-gathering surfaces may be able to remove the fog. This could potentially reduce travel delays at airports and prevent fog-related accidents on roadways. It seems that studying this little beetle may lead to a variety of benefits for humans.
1. What will the Namib beetle do when fog appears in the desert
A. It will release a waxy substance to cover its back.
B. It will place its body in a particular way to collect water.
C. It will create bumps and grooves on its wings.
D. It will open its mouth to drink the water in the air.
2. The author focuses on a unique feature of the Namib beetle in order to highlight how the beetle______.
A. could serve as a source of water for desert travelers.
B. struggles to survive in the dry part of the world.
C. uses its wings to stay cool in a dry environment.
D. is able to get access to water in the absence of rain.
3. What’s the writing purpose of this passage
A. To prove that water can be obtained from moist air.
B. To explain how the Namib beetle adapts to living in a hostile environment.
C. To show how people can apply designs from nature to creating solutions to global problems.
D. To stress that water is a valuable resource in many areas on earth.

Things only people who have worked
overseas can understand
If you have ever worked or lived overseas, I’m pretty sure you can understand the following things We do not automatically become fluent in another language. a lot of people believe that changing your geographic location can improve your language learning skills quickly. 1 Language application takes time We feel extremely lonely at times. Yes, living abroad can be wonderful. 2 Sometimes, we think that no one back at home understands our true feelings and life challenges, but a lot of other people travel long term and work abroad. Maybe they are not facing the same problems as you, but they know exactly how you feel.
We don’t really like our birthdays. Usually, your special day ends with the last phone call you get from home and then you can look through all your greetings on social media. 3 You may throw a small party with some of your new friends, but it’s going to be nothing compared with the good-old feasts you used to have with your loved ones back at home.
4 Too often we simply can’t tell you if we will be coming home for holidays this season Sometimes, our working/living permits require us to stay in the country for at least a year. adding up the flight costs and additional travel expenses, traveling home becomes quite a challenge for us.
We will change. 5 You become more mature, independent and open-minded. Usually, you return home as a better person than the one you left as.
A. The truth is. it isn’t like that.
B. we may not plan to move back home.
C. We don’t know when we’ll come home next time.
D. However, it can get extremely lonely on some days too.
E. Living abroad makes us value the little things a lot.
F. Living and working abroad shape your personality lot.
G. After that, you just act as if it’s another ordinary day in your life yet.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
One of my sisters who had worked abroad for 10 years returned home for her vacation.
All the family members were happy. My parents gave her a simple celebration and prepared food for us to share.
while staying with them an idea came to me We could have a family outing on the beach！All of my siblings（兄弟姐妹）agreed！It had been a long time since we went outing last time and it was the chance to do it again We set off the next day.
The weather was nice and many people were enjoying the seawater. I ran towards the water and felt the coldness of it. My siblings placed our things in a big cottage（村舍）. They brought a lot of food and planned to cook fish and pork meat. Everyone in the cottage was busy preparing for food while the children went to swim. I couldn’t swim though I was already a teenager. That was why I just played in the shallow part of the sea.
On the other side of the beach I saw a small fishing boat. I never tried to ride on it, but while I was looking at it, I was eager to take a ride on the boat. Without a second thought, I went to the boat alone. I paid the fisherman for using his boat and started to push it towards the sea. In my mind, I would not go to the deep part. a few minutes later, I made it float on water and I enjoyed it! I made it move forward and kept it afloat for several minutes Suddenly, the seawater became disturbing and large waves surrounded me. i couldn’t control the boat anymore.
Paragraph 1:
My boat was pulled towards the deeper part.

Paragraph 2:
When I came to life, I was lying in the hospital.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。目前有10多亿人生活在缺水的环境中，使水成为最受重视的自然资源之一。科学家们一直在寻找增加这种宝贵资源的途径。文章介绍了纳米布甲虫可以在沙漠中储存水，科学家从这种甲虫身上得到启发，来发明可以在沙漠中储存水的技术。
1. B 细节理解题。根据第二段中 Each time the fog occurs. the mouth of the beetl可知每当有雾时，甲虫就会将身体与风成45度角。当风把雾吹过沙漠时，甲虫背上的每一块突起都收集了水分。当甲虫从雾中收集到足够的水分后，一滴水滴从突起处滚到光滑的凹槽中，然后进入甲虫的口中。由此可知，当沙漠中出现雾时，纳米布甲虫会把身体处于一种特殊的方式来收集水分。
2. D 推理判断题。根据第三段中 Scientists are using the namib beetle’s wing design as a guide for creating their own water-collection surfaces. 可知科学家们正以纳米布甲虫的翅膀设计为指导来创造集水表面。由此可推知，作者将重点放在纳米布甲虫的一个独特特征上，是为了强调这种甲虫是如何在缺乏雨水的情况下获得水的。
3. C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中 It seems that studying this little beetle may lead to a variety of benefits for humans. 可知似乎研究这种小甲虫可能会给人类带来各种好处。本文说明了目前有10多亿人生活在缺水的环境中，使水成为最受重视的自然资源之一。科学家们一直在寻找增加这种宝贵资源的途径。科学家发现纳米布甲虫可以在沙漠中储存水，从而得到启发，发明可以在沙漠中储存水的技术。由此可推知，这篇文章的写作目的是展示人们如何应用大自然的创造来解决全球性的问题。

One possible version：
Paragraph 1：
My boat was pulled towards the deeper part I was afraid and nervous! I shouted loudly to ask my siblings for help. However, none of them heard me because they were too far away from me, and then I began to cry. Suddenly, a big wave came and I was thrown into the water. I didn’t know how to swim I struggled in the seawater and kept on waving my hands That was the last moment I could remember.
Paragraph 2:
When I came to life, I was lying in the hospital. My parents were beside me. I asked my mother what happened She said my brother saw me while I was waving my hands. I was rescued by him and they immediately sent me to the hospital. I was grateful that I was still alive. My mother said we would have another celebration for another life given to me. I told them the celebration would never be held on the beach.
