Scientists have invented a device that can extract drinking water from thin air using an innovative fin-like system. The device could help meet the growing global demand for potable water by harvesting the trillions of litres of fresh water in the Earth’s atmosphere.
A team from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US came up with a low-cost and compact system that uses an approach referred to as sorption-based atmospheric water harvesting (SAWH), which makes use of water-absorbent “fins” to collect water.
“About two-thirds of the global population are suffering from water scarcity, and it is estimated that about 40 per cent of the global annual water demand will not be met by 2030, posing further challenges to public health, and agriculture,” the researchers noted in a study detailing the technology.
“There is about 1,300 trillion litres of fresh water in the atmosphere that could be readily harvested without relying on the existing liquid water supply. Sorption-based atmospheric water harvesting promises potable water production in extreme dry environments where conventional atmospheric water harvesting solutions such as fog harvesting and dewing are impracticable.”
Existing SAWH systems typically rely on solar power, however, inconsistent weather conditions and low energy density mean they are unsuitable for meeting daily human needs. The new device leverages waste heat to meet this demand in what the scientists claim is a low-cost and high-performance solution.
Calculations based on a working prototype of the system suggest that 1 litre of absorbent coating on the fins could produce up to 1.3 litres of potable water per day in air with 30 per cent relative humidity—a volume two to five times greater than previously developed systems.
1.Why did MIT team develop this technology
A. To purify atmospheric water. B. To address global water shortage.
C. To use solar power efficiently. D. To promote renewable energy use.
2.Which of the following words can best describe the system
A. Creative and delicate. B. Applicable and profitable.
C. Efficient and affordable. D. Influential and promising.
3.Why are current SAWH systems unsuitable for daily water supply
A. Costly solar energy inputs. B. Poor performance in drought.
C. Weather-dependent energy source. D. Insufficient absorbent coating.
4.What is the best title for the text
A. Drinking Water Harvested from Thin Air B. Sky Water Used as Drinkable Water
C. Fin-like Device Gathering Drinkable Water D. Drinkable Water Meeting the Demand

From sleeping in a spider-covered tent a mile up an Amazonian cliff face to completing one of the classic outdoor “lifetime” challenges in the space of a few months, Anna Taylor is making a name for herself in the adventure community. Still just 24, the climber is also a great advocate of British expeditions.
“The UK is actually really good for these things.” says Taylor, who in 2021 became the first woman to complete a self-powered round of the 83 routes that feature in the celebrated climbing book Classic Rock. “It can be underestimated compared to exotic (异国风情的) places, but if you get creative, it’s as good as anywhere,” she says.
“The Classic Rock challenge is the kind of thing people try to finish during their lives, a bit like walking the Wainwrights, but I doubted the capability to make it in summer. It was amazing and opened my eyes to UK climbing. I didn’t realize how challenging cycle touring would be with so much equipment. But it’s a great way to appreciate the landscape, and completing a long ride is as satisfying as getting to the top of a route.” Taylor explored a huge amount of the country in the process. She then completed another self-powered round, climbing the 100 routes detailed in the guide Mountain Rock. “It is really a physical challenge,” Taylor says.
Having come to the attention of one of the UK’s top adventurers, Leo Houlding, Taylor also went on a trip to the Guyanese Amazon to scale the giant Mount Roraima. “We were in the jungle for a month,” she recalls. “That was incredible and pretty scary sleeping there at first, especially with huge spiders walking across your tent!” Taylor thrives on the physical and mental challenges of climbing. “It’s all about keeping your head under control,” she explains. “You practice with a safety rope, and then it’s about making the commitment of doing it without one.”
5.What has made Taylor famous in the adventure community
A. Her young age as a climber.
B. Her unique experience in the Amazon.
C. Her completion of challenging outdoor tasks.
D. Her advocacy of adventurous trips.
6.What does Taylor think of the UK for climbing
A. It is judged wrongly compared to exotic places.
B. It is as good as anywhere if one is imaginary.
C. It lacks the variety of routes.
D. It is fit for self-powered rounds.
7.What do we know about Taylor in the Classic Rock challenge
A. She considered reaching the top more satisfying.
B. She carried loads of facilities.
C. She recommended completing it in summer.
D. She explored more countries.
8.Which of the following best describes Taylor according to the passage
A. Proud and competitive. B. Reserved and cautious.
C. Humorous and responsible. D. Adventurous and passionate.

Global sea levels continue to rise despite efforts that cities around the world are making to reduce the effects of climate change and their carbon emissions. One firm, however, is hoping to battle the effects of climate change. Driven by alarming estimates that 36.6 million people in Asian coastal cities like Mumbai could face flooding by 2070, Luca Curci Architects, based in Venice, Italy, has released Floating City—a design that would allow urban areas to rise with the waters while making use of renewable energies to reduce their own carbon emissions.
Each 25-acre unit houses 50,000 residents on interconnected platforms, with potential expansion for 200,000 and buildings are capped at 90 meters tall for stability. “Structure must be flexible like bamboo in wind to resist waves,” explains architect Curci. To achieve this, seawater resistant materials are given priority to, while hollow sections in platforms help them float. Meanwhile, movable bridges are constructed to link these “water neighborhoods” to mainland transport systems.
The project team also envisions a mix of renewable energy source extracting power from wind, water, and the sun to power the city. During extreme weather, platforms automatically separate and regroup using intelligence algorithms inspired by how fish schools avoid hunters.
Compared to building artificial islands, this method preserves 68% more marine (海洋) life and uses surfaces that absorb rainwater to reduce flooding risks. However, challenges persist. Seawater slowly harms materials, requiring repair every four months, and emergency plans for extreme weather are still under way. “This isn’t about abandoning coasts but evolving with them,” notes designer Tim au.
While some question long-term possibility, the design redefines urban resilience. Unlike rigid sea walls, these dynamic structures harmonize with oceanic rhythms, offering a blueprint for climate solutions. “Cities must learn to dance with the waves,” Curci says. This philosophy could transform humanity’s relationship with rising seas, turning threats into sustainable opportunities.
9.What drove Luca Curci Architects to come up with a new design
A. Energy crisis. B. Potential disasters.
C. Tourism expansion. D. Overcrowded cities.
10.Which of the following best describes Luca Curci’s design
A. Fictional and renewable. B. Adaptable and innovative.
C. Eco-friendly and immovable. D. Wave-resistant and conventional.
11.A limitation of Luca Curci’s design is that it ____________.
A. threatens marine life B. lacks clean energy options
C. requires regular maintenance D. ignores coastal water changes
12.Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text
A. Ocean Protection: Life under Threat B. Rising with the Tides: Floating Cities
C. Connecting to the Future: Eco Solutions D. Coastal Design: Inspiration from Bamboo
