三、阅读理解-阅读选择（共1小题；共20分）
阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的选项中，选择最佳选项。
It
was
early
morning
in
a
small
village
in
Kenya,
Africa.
Woman
and
children
were
carrying
heavy
containers
(容器)
of
water
on
their
heads.
They
walked
many
miles
to
get
the
water.
It
was
hot,
and
they
were
tired.
They
could
only
carry
a
few
containers
a
day.
A
young
British
woman
learned
about
how
difficult
this
was
for
them.
She
wanted
to
help.
Who
is
the
young
woman?
Her
name
is
Emily
Cummins.
How
did
she
help?
She
invented
a
water
carrier
for
the
people
in
Kenya.
Emily
Cummins
is
an
engineer.
She
designs
(设计)
useful
products
for
places
without
many
natural
resources
(资源).
These
places
often
don't
have
a
lot
of
water.
They
also
don't
have
a
lot
of
oil,
coal
or
gas.
Cummins'
products
don't
use
oil,
coal
or
gas.
They
use
other
kinds
of
energy,
such
as
the
sun.
So
people
can
continue
to
use
them
in
the
future
without
hurting
our
planet.
How
did
Cummins
get
started?
As
a
young
child
in
England,
she
loved
to
work
with
her
grandfather
in
his
workshop.
He
taught
her
how
to
use
his
tools.
He
showed
her
how
to
make
toys
and
boxes
from
small
pieces
of
metal.
Cummins
designed
her
first
product
when
she
was
in
high
school
and
just
15
years
old.
While
she
was
still
a
high
school
student,
Cummins
designed
a
new
kind
of
fridge.
Why?
Fridges
normally
use
a
lot
of
electricity.
They
are
too
expensive
for
many
people
in
developing
countries.
Cummins'
fridge
is
not
expensive.
It's
made
of
cheap,
local
materials.
After
leaving
school,
Cummins
spent
five
months
in
Africa.
She
wanted
to
learn
more
about
life
there,
so
she
volunteered
at
a
school
in
Namibia.
There,
she
could
test
and
improve
her
designs.
Her
fridge
became
a
great
success!
It
has
helped
thousands
of
people.
26.
What
problem
did
people
in
a
small
village
in
Kenya
face?

fridge

was
not
enough
food
to
eat.

had

high
school
student

Africa
29.

did
Cummins
spend
five
months
in
Africa?
A.Because
her
parents
worked
there.
B.Because
she
studied
at
a
school
there.

she
wanted
to
sell
her
