There are very few places in the desert where water is plentiful. But now a Jordanian startup has created an incredibly efficient Atmospheric Water Generating Device (AWG) that can generate water in even the driest environments. For a dry and thirsty region, this device can be a gamechanger.
Jordan is one of the most water insecure countries in the world, and with the population growing, the need for water is becoming more critical. In many areas, water is only available for 36 hours a week.
“Our situation—with the lack of natural resources and water—puts us in a position where we have to do something，” Tamer Al Salah, managing director of BeyondCapital, a venture capital firm based in Jordan, said. “Climate entrepreneurship (创业) is important and it's growing.”
That's where Aquaporo comes in. Led by CEO Kyle Cordova and engineering director Husam Almassad, Aquaporo started working in Cordova's research lab at Jordan's Royal Scientific Society three years ago to develop an AWG device that could copy nature by pulling water out of the desert air. In fact, the device can pull out more than double the amount of other water harvesting devices in desert areas.
The device uses special materials that can capture water from the desert air. The water is then purified so that it is fit for human consumption. If that were not enough, the device is also solar powered, so that it can be used anywhere.
It's reported that the Aquaporo's machine which is about the size of an air conditioning unit has impressed the Jordanian government so much that they have ordered 1，000 units that they hope to hand out for free to families throughout the country in the coming year.
In reality, the idea of collecting water from the air is not new. People have been harvesting water drops using both man made and natural materials for thousands of years. What makes Aquaporo and its researchers so special is their ability to look to the past for solutions and use today's technology to make those solutions even better.
篇章导读：本文是一篇新闻报道。文章介绍了约旦的一家初创公司Aquaporo花了三年时间在实验室中研发了一款高效的大气水生成装备，从而在干燥的环境中产生水，为干旱和缺水地区带来了福音。
1．What is the function of AWG
A．Creating an incredibly efficient device.
B．Producing water in dry and thirsty areas.
C．Purifying water in the driest environments.
D．Changing living conditions in a dry region.
答案：B
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But now a Jordanian startup ... be a gamechanger.(但现在，一家约旦的初创公司发明了一种非常高效的大气水生成装置(AWG)，即使在最干燥的环境中也能产生水。对于干旱和缺水的地区，这个设备可以产生重要影响。)”可知，AWG是一个非常高效的大气水生成装置，可以给干旱和缺水的地区提供水。故选B。
2．How did researchers in Aquaporo first conduct their research work
A．By experimenting in the lab.
B．By pulling water in the deserts.
C．By developing a suitable device.
D．By doubling the amount of water.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第四段中的“That's where Aquaporo comes in ... out of the desert air. (这就是Aquaporo的用武之地。在首席执行官凯尔·科多瓦和工程总监胡萨姆·阿尔马萨德的带领下，Aquaporo三年前开始在Cordova位于约旦皇家科学学会的研究实验室工作，开发一种AWG设备，该设备可以通过从沙漠空气中提取水分来复制大自然。)”可知，研究者们是先通过在实验室做实验来研制该设备而开展研究工作的。故选A。
3．What do we know about the Aquaporo's machine from the passage
A．It's like an air conditioner to generate water.
B．It is being produced by the local government.
C．It has been sent to all families free of charge.
D．It hasn't been given to people across the country.
答案：D
解析：推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“It's reported that ... the country in the coming year.(据报道，Aquaporo的空调大小的机器给约旦政府留下了深刻的印象，他们订购了1，000台，希望在明年免费分发给全国各地的家庭。)”可推知，约旦政府预订了1，000台机器，目前并没有将机器分发到各个家庭。故选D。
4．What is probably the best title of this text
A．A Device Satisfies People's Usage of Water
B．Water is Available for Everyday Use in Jordan
C．New Startup Creates Water from the Desert Air
D．Today's Technology Makes Life Even Better
答案：C
解析：标题判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“There are very few places ... can be a gamechanger.”可知，本文介绍了约旦的一家初创公司研发了一款高效的大气水生成装备，在干燥的环境中也能产生水，所以C项(初创公司从沙漠空气中制造水)最适合作为本文的标题。故选C。
B
Can a small group of drones (无人机) guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year That is the very likely future of applying today's “eyes in the sky” technology to making sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure (基础设施) worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis.
Drones are already being used to examine high tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points. The more regularly they can be inspected, the more railway safety, reliability and on time performance will be improved. Costs would be cut and operations would be more efficient (高效) across the board.
That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety. It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerous work that could be avoided with drones assisting the crews' efforts.
By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing higher value services for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause any safety problems. To perform these tasks, drones for rail don't need to be flying overhead. Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future. They will be moving on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to run autonomously. Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast moving trains would be able to react in time.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了无人机在铁路交通中的应用。
5．What makes the application of drones to rail lines possible
A．The use of drones in checking on power lines.
B．Drones' ability to work at high altitudes.
C．The reduction of cost in designing drones.
D．Drones' reliable performance in remote areas.
答案：A
解析：细节理解题。根据第二段前两句“Drones are already being used ... switching points.(无人机已经被用于检查高压电线。它们完全可以做同样的事情来检查铁路线路和铁路基础设施的其他重要方面，如铁路轨道和换乘点的正确位置。)”可知，使用无人机检查电力线路使无人机应用于铁路线路成为可能。故选A。
6．What does “maintenance” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to
A．Personnel safety.
B．Assistance from drones.
C．Inspection and repair.
D．Construction of infrastructure.
答案：C
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词后“It is calculated that ... to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure.”可知，仅欧洲铁路公司每年在铁路维护上的花费就约为200亿欧元，其中包括经常在夜间派遣维修人员检查和维修铁路基础设施，由此可知，maintenance是“维护，保养”的意思。故选C。
7．What function is expected of the rail drones
A．To provide early warning.
B．To make trains run automatically.
C．To earn profits for the crews.
D．To accelerate transportation.
答案：A
解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Very small drones ... to react in time.”可知，凭借无人机的预见能力，它们可以发出任何问题的信号，以便快速行驶的火车能及时做出反应。由此可推知，对无人机期待的功能是提供预警。故选A。
8．Which is the most suitable title for the text
A．What Faults Can Be Detected with Drones
B．How Production of Drones Can Be Expanded
C．What Difficulty Drone Development Will Face
D．How Drones Will Change the Future of Railways
答案：D
解析：标题判断题。本文介绍了无人机在铁路交通中的应用，讲述无人机将如何改变铁路的未来，包括使铁路变得更安全、更可靠、更省钱等。D项最适合作为本文的标题。故选D。

The Advantages and Disadvantages
of Online Education
[精彩范文]
The Advantages and Disadvantages
of Online Education
With the popularity of the Internet, more and more schools and students focus on online education. Certainly, it has some advantages. Firstly, online education isn't limited by time and place. Students have access to their study materials whenever and wherever they like. Secondly, online education frees teachers from repeating the same teaching contents since the video can be played over and over again.
However, online education also has some drawbacks. With online courses, students have to spend more time using computers, causing the loss of their eyesight. And online education will reduce the communication between students and teachers, which will lead to the lack of learning atmosphere.
Personally, if traditional teaching and online education can be combined, more fruitful education is bound to be realized.

Can a small group of drones (无人机) guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year That is the very likely future of applying today's “eyes in the sky” technology to making sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure (基础设施) worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis.
Drones are already being used to examine high tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points. The more regularly they can be inspected, the more railway safety, reliability and on time performance will be improved. Costs would be cut and operations would be more efficient (高效) across the board.
That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety. It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerous work that could be avoided with drones assisting the crews' efforts.
By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing higher value services for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause any safety problems. To perform these tasks, drones for rail don't need to be flying overhead. Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future. They will be moving on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to run autonomously. Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast moving trains would be able to react in time.

解析：细节理解题。根据第二段前两句“Drones are already being used ... switching points.(无人机已经被用于检查高压电线。它们完全可以做同样的事情来检查铁路线路和铁路基础设施的其他重要方面，如铁路轨道和换乘点的正确位置。)”可知，使用无人机检查电力线路使无人机应用于铁路线路成为可能。故选A。
6．What does “maintenance” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to
A．Personnel safety.
B．Assistance from drones.
C．Inspection and repair.
D．Construction of infrastructure.
解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词后“It is calculated that ... to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure.”可知，仅欧洲铁路公司每年在铁路维护上的花费就约为200亿欧元，其中包括经常在夜间派遣维修人员检查和维修铁路基础设施，由此可知，maintenance是“维护，保养”的意思。故选C。
7．What function is expected of the rail drones
A．To provide early warning.

The Advantages and Disadvantages
of Online Education
With the popularity of the Internet, more and more schools and students focus on online education. Certainly, it has some advantages. Firstly, online education isn't limited by time and place. Students have access to their study materials whenever and wherever they like. Secondly, online education frees teachers from repeating the same teaching contents since the video can be played over and over again.
However, online education also has some drawbacks. With online courses, students have to spend more time using computers, causing the loss of their eyesight. And online education will reduce the communication between students and teachers, which will lead to the lack of learning atmosphere.
Personally, if traditional teaching and online education can be combined, more fruitful education is bound to be realized.
