高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

I watch from the wooden bench in my backyard as the water from the pipe quietly flows out onto the tomato plants. I watch the plants and rest easy, knowing the pipe is taking care of the plants. The drops soon seem to become rivers on the ground.

I see these red-brown ants, crawling(爬行) along around their home. What will happen when the water reaches the ants? Smelling the danger, these poor tiny creatures all run away from the water and rush back to their home. They spend their whole lives working together to create and make better things, but now they are facing the end of it all. I think this is just a reflection of the world. I keep watching as the water first attacks and then surrounds two ants. They struggle to stay floating as the water closes in on them, getting deeper and deeper. I try to get these two to come on my finger, but they refuse to let me save them. The water soon flows over them, as I remain helpless. Only then do they decide to climb onto my dirt-covered finger. Not until facing the moment of death would they trust one like me.

I check to see if they are alive, and both can move fine. Then I go to save other ants. However, the water washes everything away. How much I wish I could turn off this machine of death, but I cannot. I must complete my job.

It knocks me how much these little lives mean to me. When I was a small child, I would make a sport of killing them. Now, I can't hurt an insect, always thinking about what it would be like to be so small.

1.What is the ants' first reaction as the water approaches them?

A. They attempt to stop it.

B. They seek help at once.

C. They ignore it and continue to work.

D. They try to avoid the danger caused by it.

2.What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2?

A. Behind bad luck comes good luck.

B. Where there is a will, there is a way.

C. God helps those who help themselves.

D. Life is likely to be affected by setbacks.

3.How does the author help save the two ants?

A. He turns off the water pipe. B. He helps them float on the water.

C. He lets them climb onto his finger. D. He changes the direction of the water.

4.What's the author's attitude towards those ants now?

A. Sympathetic. B. Indifferent.

C. Favorable. D. Cruel.

A gadget (器具) which makes water out of air could become the greatest household invention since the microwave.

Using the same technology as a dehumidifier (除湿器), the Water Mill is able to create a ready supply of drinking water because it can always get it from an unlimited source—the air.

The company behind the machine says not only does it offer an alternative to bottled water in developed countries, but it is a solution for the millions who face a daily water shortage.

The machine works by drawing in wet air through a filter (过滤器) and over a cooling instrument which changes it into water drops. It can produce up to 12 liters a day. The Water Mill will also produce more water when storms pass over, as the amount of water which is contained in the air increases. In keeping with its eco-development, the machine uses the same amount of electricity as three lights.

Inventor Jonathan Ritchey said: “The demand for water is off the chart. So people are looking for freedom from water distribution systems that are shaky and unreliable.”

The machine, which is about 3 feet wide, is likely to cost ￡800 when it goes on sale here in the spring. Its maker, Canadian Firm Element Four, roughly (粗略地) calculates that a litre of water cost around 20p to produce.

Environmentalists state that half the world’s population will face water shortage because of climate change by 2080. One in five is said to lack access to safe drinking.

The Water Mill is not effective in areas where the amount of water contained in the air is below about 30 percent, but in Britain that won’t be much of a problem.

1.What does the underlined word “it” refer to?

A. Drinking water.     B. Invention.    C. Microwave.      D. Water Mill.

2.What do we learn about the machine?

A. It works in the same way as microwaves.

B. It is very expensive for families to afford.

C. It absorbs steam and turns it into water.

D. It helps to make the water clean to drink.

3.What does the passage lead us to believe?

A. The cost of water will go up.     B. Bottled water will disappear sooner.

C. The machine is energy saving.     D. The machine will be popular worldwide.

4.What’s the best title for the passage?

A. A New Way to Solve Water Problem. B. A Machine to Make Water out of Air.

C. A Dehumidifier to Produce Water.  D. An Absolutely New Invention

A company has designed a water bottle, the　 Memobottle, which is ideal for the office worker’s bag, because it’s completely flat. With the same shape as a piece of paper, the Memobottle is a reusable water bottle that slides into your bag to lie next to books and laptops. The bottle, which can also be washed in a dishwasher, is designed to help reduce the number of plastic bottles in landfills（填埋）.

Two creative people Jesse Leeworthy and Jonathan Byrt, both 28,designed the bottle to be convenient to carry and environmentally friendly. It is made from a durable and dishwasher-friendly“green” plastic.

Leeworthy and Byrt,from Australia, say more than 600 billion single-use bottles were sold globally last year.

Jonathan Byrt said, “The feedback we’ve received has been overwhelmingly positive! The emails of support and interest, and social media comments have been amazing!”

The product is expected to be on the market by Christmas and will be available for global delivery.
