in areas where the liquid is not readily available.Developed by two doctors in the U.S.Department of Agriculture,its an excellent water collector.Unfortunately,you must carry the necessary equipment with you,since its all but impossible to find natural substitutes.The only components required,though,are a 55 sheet of clear or slightly milky plastic,six feet of plastic tube,and a containerperhaps just a drinking cupto catch the water.These pieces can be folded into a neat little pack and fastened on your belt.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 catchers productivity.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 upand outthe side of the hole.Next,cover the hole with the plastic sheet,securing the edges of the plastic with dirt and weighting the sheets center down with a rock.The plastic should now form a cone(圆锥体) 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.The solar still works by creating a greenhouse under the plastic.Ground water evaporates (蒸发) 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 wont have to break down the still every time you need a drink.24.What do we know about the solar still equipment from the first paragraph?A.Its delicate.B.Its expensive.C.Its complex.D.Its portable.答案:D解析:推理判断题。从文章第一段最后一句可知,这种集水器设备携带起来很方便。人们可以把它折叠成一个小包并系在腰带上。25.What does the underlined phrase “the water catcher” in paragraph 2 refer to?A.The tube.B.The still.C.The hole.D.The cup.答案:B解析:词义猜测题。从文章第二段的“To construct a working still.”和画线词后的productivity可推断出画线部分指的是the still。26.What is the last step of constructing a working solar still?A.Dig a hole of a certain size.B.Put the cup in place.C.Weight the sheets center down.D.Cover the hole with the plastic sheet.答案:C解析:细节理解题。从文章第三段第一句可知,用塑料布把洞穴覆盖,并把塑料布的边缘用泥土固定。最后把一块石头压在塑料布的中心。因此选C项。27.When a solar still works,drops of water come into the cup from.A.the plastic tubeB.outside the holeC.the open airD.beneath the sheet答案:D解析:细节理解题。从文章最后一段第二句可知,这种蒸馏器的工作原理是创造一个温室。地面的水向上蒸发并在塑料布上聚集形成小水滴,然后水滴顺着塑料布流下来落到杯子里。C(2016全国高考)Whats On?Electric Underground7.30p.m.1.00a.m.Free at the Cyclops TheatreDo you know

idea that extinct(绝种的) animals can be brought back through cloning or genetic(基因的) engineering,has attracted the interest of a small group of scientists.The topic has made the cover of National Geographic Magazine.Supporters say they are doing it for moral reasons and because we “miss” the extinct animals.They blame human exploitation(such as trapping,hunting,habitat destruction) of the extinct animals,but their plans,though they sound exciting,are exploitation in another form.Considering the imperfect science of cloning,de-extinction would cause animals suffering.Most animals born of such experiments would suffer serious diseases,dying soon after birth or having a shortened lifetime.Spanish and French scientists worked for years to bring the Pyrenean ibex,a species of wild goat,back from extinction by cloning.In 2009,they succeeded only in producing a sick baby goat that died 10 minutes after birth.For these animals to be born,other animals would live in captivity,in a lab or elsewhere,and serve as mother substitutes(代用品),routinely having operations as part of the cloning process.For example,elephants would be kept in captivity to carry woolly mammoth(猛犸) babies for nearly two years.Such experiments often lead to other animals unhappiness as well.If extinct animals are successfully brought back,where would they go?Their original habitats have developed and changed without them.They are unlikely to survive in the natural environment,but,if they do manage to survive,they will affect their environment in unpredictable ways,presenting a new threat to the ecological system.If the animals born through de-extinction are stuck in zoos and museums instead,what good is that?It is exploitation,not a solution.It would be better to apply creative thinking about protection to the real-life problems of todays world.De-extinction takes attention away from the difficult situation of endangered animals.Discussions about woolly mammoth cloning do nothing to stop the illegal killings of endangered wild African elephants.Money would be better used to prevent human conflict with wildlife and their ecosystems.Lets keep de-extinction in the world of science fiction,learn from our failed past,and protect wild animals and their habitats for the future.32.The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refers to “”.A.de-extinctionB.cloning or genetic engineeringC.exploitationD.National Geogr
