淡水提取的英語閱讀理解

㈠ 2017年高考英語全國卷1 - 閱讀理解D

A build-it-yourself solar still is one of the best ways to obtain drinking water in areas where the liquid is not readily available．Developed by two doctors in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, it's an excellent water collector. Unfortunately, you must carry the necessary equipment with you, since it's all but impossible to find natural substitutes. The only components required, though, are a 5'×5' sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic, six feet of plastic tube, and a container-perhaps just a drinking cup-to catch the water. These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.
自行建造太陽能蒸餾器是在很難獲得水的地區獲取飲用水的最佳方法之一。這是一種出色的集水器，由美國農業部的兩位博士研製。不好的是，你必須隨身攜帶必要的設備，因為幾乎不可能找到天然替代品。盡管需要的配件是一塊5』×5』的透明或淡乳色塑料片、6英尺長的塑料管和一個容器（可能只是一個用來盛水的杯子）。這些配件可以折疊成整潔的小包裝，系在腰帶上。

To construct a working still, use a sharp stick or rock to dig a hole four feet across and three feet deep. Try to make the hole in a damp area to increase the water catcher's proctivity. Place your cup in the deepest part of the hole. Then lay the tube in place so that one end rests all the way in the cup and the rest of the line runs up-and out-the side of the hole.
要建造蒸餾器，可以用鋒利的木棍或石塊挖一個四英尺寬、三英尺深的洞穴。在潮濕的地方挖洞，可以提高集水器的工作效率。將杯子放置在洞穴最深處，然後將管子放好，一頭完全放入杯中，其餘部分從洞穴中伸出。

Next, cover the hole with the plastic sheet, securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheet's center down with a rock. The plastic should now form a cone with 45-degree-angled sides. The low point of the sheet must be centered directly over, and no more than three inches above, the cup.
接下來，用塑料片蓋住洞穴，用泥土固定塑料片邊緣，並用石塊壓住塑料板中心。塑料片現在應該會形成一個45度角邊的圓錐體。塑料片的低點必須位於杯子正上方中心位置，且不高於杯子上方三英寸。

The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic. Ground water evaporates and collects on the sheet until small drops of water form, run down the material, and fall off into the cup. When the container is full, you can suck the refreshment out through the tube, and won't have to break down the still every time you need a drink.
在塑料片下方形成一個溫室，太陽能蒸餾器就開始工作了。地下水蒸發並聚集在塑料片上，直至形成小水滴，順著材料流下來，落入杯中。當容器裝滿時，可以通過管子吸出淡水，不必每次需要喝水時都要拆除蒸餾器。

㈡ 英語作文 題目：全球缺乏淡水 要求：1.人們認為淡水是取之不盡的如（雨水，河水，井水）。2.實際上淡水非

Global Shortage of Fresh Water
People often think that water will never be used up. There is plenty of water, such as

rain, water from the rivers and wells. It seems as if water is always available around us

and we never have to worry about water shortage.
In fact water is rather limited on the earth. With the rapid increase of population and

fast development of instries, water is more needed than before. At the same time, a large

amount of water has been polluted and wasted every day. Some big cities in China are facing

the problem of water shorage already. There, water supply is controlled and instry has

been restrained.

What should we do about the water shorage? I think, first, the people should be made

aware of the real situation about the water. Everyone should consciously save on water and

certain law should be made that no water will be polluted. We have to protect the existing

water resources and develop new ones. In this way I believe that our cities will not be

thirsty for water in the future.

（2019中考科普環保類選練）

You can not see any object unless light from that object gets into your eyes. Some of the things you see give off light of their own. The sun, the stars, a lighted lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light. Such things are luminous. Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own. They are simply reflecting light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies. The moon, for example, does not give off any light of its own. It is non-luminous. You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in our direction. So moon light is only second hand sunlight.

When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. If light could be kept out from where you are so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book even with your eyes wide open.

Light travels so fast that the time in which it travels from the book you are reading to your eyes is so short as if there were no time at all. Light reaches us from the moon, which is about 380 000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a second.

1. You can see the book because_______.

A. your eyes are close to it B. it reflects some of the sunlight

C. it has light of its own D. your eyesight can get to it

2. The underlined word "luminous" means_______.

A. visible B. all colors C. giving off light D. sunlight

3. Light traces about _________ kilometers per second.

4. Which of the following is true?

A. The moment you open your eyes the light from the book travels to your eyes.

B. Light from the book is much shorter than that from the moon.

C. All the things you can see give off light.

D. Light travels so fast that there is no time for you to read.

5. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. You can see and read a book because you open your eyes.

B. Some objects are luminous, some not.

C. You can see things because of light.

中考英語閱讀理解****節約用水

Napoga is a 12-year-old girl in Ghana(迦納), Africa. It is hard for her family to get clean water. Every morning, she leaves home at half past five to get clean water for her family in a village far away. It takes her six hours to get enough clean water for daily(日常) cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They can't get enough clean water to keep healthy.

Earth Day is April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember it. The water we use is the most important natural resource(自然資源) on the earth.

Water covers 70% of the earth's surface(表面). But most of that is sea water. We can't use it for very many things. Fresh water covers only 1% of the earth's surface.

You probably feel lucky that your life isn't as hard as Napoga's. But that doesn't mean you don't have to worry about water. We all face serious water problems. One of them is water pollution. All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers, lakes, and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish, too. Now, 34% of all kinds of fish are dying out.

How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First, they pollute the air. Then, when it rains, the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain, called acid rain(酸雨), is also bad for plants, animals and buildings.

Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won't have enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children. Here is some advice for saving water:

●Turn off the water while you brush your teeth. You can save as much as 450 liters(升) each month.

●Leaky taps(漏水的龍頭) waste a lot of water. Fix them right away!

●You can easily cut your 10-minute showers(沐浴) in half—and you'll be just as clean.

●When you wash dishes, don't let the water run.

●Only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash. If your washing machine isn't full, you're wasting water!

◆根據以上短文內容，然後從每題所給的四個選項中選擇最佳選項。

1. Every morning Napoga went to get clean water _______.

A. before she went to school B. after she finished school

C without going to school D. after she played with her friends

A. is only bad for living things

B. can be proced in factories

C. doesn't do harm to people, but it's bad for plants, animals and buildings

D. doesn't just do harm to human beings but to ani​mals, plants and buildings

4. Which of the following wastes water?

A. We need ten minutes if we want a clean shower.

B. We should put in enough clothes when we wash them in washing machines.

C. You can keep yourself clean by having a shower for five minutes.

D. Don't let the water run when we brush our teeth and wash dishes.

5. What's the main idea of the passage?

C. It's time to take care of the water we use.

D. Water is the most important natural resource on the earth.

【能力選練】 D

I've been working in a school for more than twenty years. Many parents often ask me, "How can you teach your child good study skills? How can he or she get the homework done as quickly as possible？" Here are some tips:

1. If the child is as young as nine or ten years old, ask him or her to prepare a small notebook to write down the homework given by his or her teachers. By developing this habit, he or she will learn to be much more responsible (負責的).

2. Find a good place to study. This should be a quiet place that is free from everything but study things. No games, radios, or televisions. Once you have decided on a place to study, this should be the only place where your child does his or her homework and studies. There should also be a very specific time for homework to be done. Usually, homework should be done as soon as the child gets home from school. This also goes for the kids who take part in after­school activities. Of course, it is a good idea to allow the child to have a healthy snack before the work begins.

3. Also remember that it is the child's ty to do his or her homework. Some children give up easily and go to Mom and Dad for help when they have a problem. Try to let them solve it first. By doing this, they will get a sense of success from overcoming problems. In this way we help them to help themselves.

你見過取新鮮水的新方法嗎？這就有一例。首先，挖幾條大約一米深的長溝。在每條專上面都用玻璃屬製成的透明的東西覆蓋住。然後就可以通過特殊的管道取水了。這些溝第二天還可以再用。正如我們所知，它的成本很少，海水和太陽並不要錢。所以這種取水的方法很棒。

The world is not hungry , but it is thirsty . It seems strange that nearly 3/4 of the earth is covered with water while we say we are short of (短缺) water. Why? Because about 97% of water on the earth is sea water which we can't drink or use for watering plants directly (直接地) . Man can only drink and use the 3% - the water that comes from rivers and lakes. And we can't even use all of that, because some of it has been polluted (污染) .

Now more water is needed. The problem is: Can we avoid (避免) a serious water shortage later on? First, we should all learn how to save water. Secondly, we should find out the ways to reuse it . Scientists have always been making studies in the field. Today, in most large cities water is used only once and then runs to the sea or rivers . But it can be used again. Even if (即使) every large city reused its water, still there would not be enough. What could people turn to next?

The sea seems to have the best answer. There is a lot of water in the sea. All that needs to be done is to get the salt out of the sea water. This is expensive, but it's already used in many parts of the world. Scientists are trying to find a cheaper way of doing it. So you see, if we can find a way out, we'll be in no danger of drying up.

㈧ 2021年高考英語全國卷2 - 閱讀理解C

You』ve heard that plastic is polluting the oceans—between 4.8 and 12.7 million tonnes enter ocean ecosystems every year. But does one plastic straw or cup really make a difference? Artist Benjamin Von Wong wants you to know that it does. He builds massive sculptures out of plastic garbage, foreing viewers to re-examine their relationship to single-use plastic procts.
你聽說過塑料正在污染海洋——每年有480萬到1270萬噸塑料進入海洋生態系統。但是，一根塑料吸管或杯子真的能帶來變化嗎？藝術家本傑明·馮·黃想讓你知道這是真的。他用塑料垃圾建造了巨大的雕塑，讓觀眾重新審視他們與一次性塑料製品的關系。

At the beginning of the year, the artist built a piece called「Strawpocalypse,」 a pair of 10-foot-tall plastic waves, frozen mid-crash. Made of 168,000 plastic straws collected from several volunteer beach cleanups, the sculpture made its first appearance at the Estella Place shopping center in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.
今年年初，這位藝術家創作了一幅名為「Strawpocalypse」的作品，這是一對10英尺高的塑料波浪，凝結在半空，由從幾次海灘清理志願者中收集的168,000根塑料吸管製成，首次出現在越南胡志明市的埃斯黛拉廣場購物中心。

Just 9% of global plastic waste is recycled. Plastic straws are by no means the biggest source of plastic pollution, but they』ve recently come under fire because most people don』t need them to drink with and, because of their small size and weight, they cannot be recycled. Every straw that' s part of Von Wong's artwork likely came from a drink that someone used for only a few minutes. Once the drink is gone, the straw will take centuries to disappear.
全球只有9%的塑料垃圾被回收利用。塑料吸管絕不是的塑料污染的最大來源，但最近它們受到了猛烈抨擊，因為大多數人不需要用吸管喝飲料，而且由於它們體積小、重量輕，無法回收。馮·黃作品中的每一根吸管都可能來自一種只喝了幾分鍾的飲料。一旦飲料消失，吸管需要幾個世紀才能消失。

In a piece from 2018, Von Wong wanted to illustrate a specific statistic: Every 60 seconds, a truckload's worth of plastic enters the ocean. For this work, titled "Truckload of Plastic, "Von Wong and a group of volunteers collected more than 10,000 pieces of plastic, which were then tied together to look like they』d been mped from a truck all at once.
在2018年的一篇文章中，馮·黃想舉例說明具體的統計數據：每60秒，一卡車的塑料進入海洋。在這項名為「一卡車塑料」的作品中，馮·黃和一群志願者收集了1萬多塊塑料，然後將它們綁在一起，看起來像是突然從卡車上被傾倒了下來。

Von Wong hopes that his work will also help pressure big companies to rece their plastic footprint.
馮·黃希望他的工作也能幫助大公司減少塑料足跡。
