3. Israeli cmpany Watergen has prduced an appliance that can generate clean,drinkable water ut f air. The device,called GENNY, is small enugh t be used in a hme r ffice but can generate up t 30 liters f water a day.
GENNY takes air in and passes thrugh a filter（过滤器）t remve dust and dirt. The filter is pwerful enugh t wrk with high air pllutin. The air is directed thrugh GENius,a heating and cling prcess which causes water in the air t cndense（凝结）.This water is then passed thrugh several mre filters and minerals are added t imprve the flavr f the water. Finally, the water is stred in a tank where it is cntinually circulated t keep it fresh. Therefre,the water prduced by GENNY is ften f a higher quality than water running thrugh filtratin systems attached t the city's water lines.
The technlgy f GENius is much better than ther technlgies that generate water frm air. It prduces fur t five times mre water per kilwatt-hur.Watergen has ther prducts that use this same technlgy n a larger scale,the largest f which can prduce up t 5, 000 liters f water per day.
As an added bnus,during the water generatin prcess,GENNY can emit clean air which is healthier fr peple t breathe.
At the Cnsumer Electrnics Shw in Las Vegas,GENNY was named the Energy Efficient Prduct f the Year. The award series recgnize the wrld's tp high-tech hme prducts.
Last year,Watergen's large-scale prducts were dnated t authrities in Brazil,Vietnam and India. They als assisted rescue and recvery effrts during the 2018 Califrnia wildfires and prvided clean,safe water fr the residents f Texas and Flrida in the aftermath f the devastatin caused by hurricanes Harvey and Irma.
Watergen als seeks t help prtect the envirnment by reducing waste generated by plastic water bttles. Peple are called upn t put the water frm GEENY int reusable bttles s that plastic nes dn't get used and thrwn away.

（1）What des GENNY accmplish by adding minerals t the water？________
A.It keeps the water fresh.
B.It helps kill harmful bacteria.
C.It satisfies lcal water regulatins.
D.It makes the water taste better.．

（2）Which f the fllwing can best describe GENius？________

4. When yu think f a map, is nrth n the tp r the bttm? Usually, maps are designed with nrth n tp,thugh when we think abut it, there s n lgical reasn fr this bias. After all,there is n up r dwn in space. S what's wrng with suth, east r west being n the tp f the map? The answer is: nthing at all. In fact,nrth-up maps nly became the nrm in the last few hundred years.
Ancient Egyptian maps had suth at the tp because the Nile River flws dwnhill frm muntains in the suth t the Mediterranean Sea in the nrth. Mecca was t the suth f mst early Muslim civilizatins,and suth-up maps were designed s that viewers wuld lk up t see Mecca. Medieval Christian maps had east at the tp,as they believed the Garden f Eden was in the east. The nly early maps that had nrth at the tp were thse f early China because the emperr lived in the nrth.
Nrth seems t have settled at the tp f maps during the 16th century,largely thanks t a Flemish mapmaker, Mercatr. Mercatr was a great admirer f an early Greek mapmaker,wh,fr reasns nw unknwn, put nrth at the tp f maps,s Mercatr did, t. When Mercatr's wrld map became the standard map t navigate the ceans, nrth up became standard as well.
What is the implicatin f this nrth-view f the wrld? Psychlgically,peple tend t think f up as gd and dwn as bad. Just think f wrds and phrases like "upmarket", "upbeat" and "mving up in the wrld", and hw they cntrast with their ppsites. Because nrth is s cnsistently put at the tp f maps, peple nw think f nrth as gd, t.
Several attempts have been made in recent years by intrducing suth-up maps t the market. These maps nt nly give us a chance t see the wrld differently, but als give everyne the chance t see themselves n tp.

（1）What can we learn frm the first tw paragraphs？________
A.Nrth-up maps were rare in ancient times.
B.Deciding up r dwn in space is ridiculus.
C.Mecca maps were based n a legend.
D.The suth-up map first appeared in ancient Egypt.．

（2）Why is nrth assciated with gd？________
A.An illgical reasn.B.The spread f Mercatr's maps.
C.Peple's preference fr up.D.An age-ld traditin in Greece.．

（3）What is the authrs attitude t suth-up maps？________
A.Cautius.B.Supprtive.
C.Uncaring.D.Disapprving.．

（4）What's the main purpse f the text？________
A.T explain a phenmenn.B.T cmpare varius facts.
C.T crrect a cultural bias.D.T argue fr a viewpint.．

（2）B．细节理解题。根据后文"Mst lcatins yu chse will have at least a handful f birds hanging arund if nt mre wildlife t watch. （你选择的大多数地点，如果没有更多的野生动物可以观赏的话，至少要会有几只鸟在附近徘徊）"可知，后文提到了观景点至少要有几只鸟活动，说明本段主要的内容是观景点要有动物活动。故B选项"它需要一些动物活动"符合小标题，故选B.
（3）C．推理判断题。根据上文"Mst lcatins yu chse will have at least a handful f birds hanging arund if nt mre wildlife t watch. （你选择的大多数地点，如果没有更多的野生动物可以观赏的话，至少要会有几只鸟在附近徘徊）"以及后文"This helps tune yurself in t mre than just the scenery arund yu but als the fact that yu're part f a larger ecsystem. It inspires the cnnectin that causes s many ther wnderful benefits f nature.（这不仅能让你置身于周围的风景之中，还能让你意识到自己是一个更大的生态系统的一部分。它激发了一种联系，这种联系给大自然带来了许多其他美妙的好处）"可知，上文提到了没有野生动物，也至少要有几只鸟，后文则提到了某种做法会让人与自然产生密切联系，可推知本句承接上文继续说明与动物有关的行为，C选项中they指代上文birds。故C选项"注意它们是如何利用景观的"符合语境，故选C.
（4）D．逻辑关系题。根据上文"Ideally, yur sit-spt will be apart frm thers s that yu can have sme time t sit peace and get cmfrtable withut distractin frm ther peple. （理想情况下，你坐的位置应该和其他人分开，这样你就可以有时间安静舒适地坐着，不会被其他人的注意力分散）"以及后文"Pay attentin t the area arund yu and the area leading int and away frm yur sit-spt. If any red flags g up that make yu feel unsafe, select a different lcatin. （注意你周围的区域，以及进出你的位置的区域。如果出现任何让你感到不安全的危险信号，选择一个不同的位置）"可知，上文提到理想的地点是一个远离喧嚣避免打扰的地方，后文则提到要对周遭的安全状况多加注意，因此本句是个转折句，提到远离喧嚣所存在的安全隐患的问题。故D选项"但在这种孤独中，你可能会感到不安全"符合语境，故选D.
（5）F．细节理解题。根据上文"There are ideal sit-spt lcatins that wrap yu entirely in nature fr hundreds f yards, and there are practical sit-spt lcatins like a bench in the cmer f a city park.（有一些理想的地点可以将你完全包裹在数百码的大自然中，也有一些实际的地点，比如城市公园角落的长椅）"以及后文"S maximize what yu have arund yu t make any amunt f utdr time part f yur daily r weekly rutine.（所以最大化利用你周围的事物，把户外活动作为你每天或每周例行活动的一部分）" 可知，本段第一句说的是理想地点有的远在百里之外，有的就很实际，比如城市公园等，后文则提到最大化利用周围的事物，故本句是在强调地点要实际这一点。故F选项"一个实际的地点比一个理想的地点更重要"符合语境，故选F.

第二节（共1小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
【答案】
tipping,which,that,directly,be ffered,fr,an,appreciatin,varies,runding
【考点】
说明文语法填空
【解析】
这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了各个国家给小费的习俗差异。
【解答】
（1）tipping.考查动名词。句意：当提到要在旅途中给小费的问题时，很多旅客由于不了解当地的风俗习惯，不知道在旅行中是否应该给小费，也不知道应该给多少小费。表示"当提到做某事"短语为when it cmes t ding sth.。故填tipping.
（2）which.考查定语从句。句意：关键是事先做好调查，这将帮助你避免因任何尴尬而破坏你的旅行。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰从句上文"事先做研究"这件事，从句中缺少主语，故应用which引导，that不能引导非限制性定语从句。故填which.
（3）that.考查代词。句意：在加拿大，给小费的情况与美国非常相似。结合语境，可知相似的是美国给小费的情况，横线处应填写一个代词，指代同类事物，且situatin是不可数名词，应用that。故填that.
（4）directly.考查副词。句意：在这里，付小费是非常少见的，甚至会被视为粗鲁的举动--尤其是当小费是直接递给别人的时候。修饰动词短语hand ver应用副词directly。故填directly.
（5）be ffered.考查动词语态。句意：然而，导游和旅游巴士司机半日游应该得到大约5英镑的小费，全天游应该得到10英镑的小费。此处主语Tur guides and tur bus drivers与谓语动词ffer构成被动关系，且shuld后跟动原形。故填be ffered.
（6）fr.考查介词。句意：然而，导游和旅游巴士司机半日游应该得到大约5英镑的小费，一日游应该得到10英镑的小费。此处与上文"fr a half day tur"情况相同，fr a full day tur"一日游"应用介词fr。故填fr.
（7）an.考查冠词。句意：但要确保小费是装在信封里的，而不是看得见的现金。envelpe为可数名词，此处表泛指应用不定冠词，且envelpe是发音以元音音素开头的单词，应用an。故填an.
.（8）appreciatin.考查名词。句意：然而，人们有时会给小费来表达他们的感激之情。空处作宾语，表示"感激"应用名词appreciatin,表抽象概念，不可数。故填appreciatin.
（9）varies.考查动词时态。句意：即使在欧洲，小费也因国家而异。vary在句中作谓语，且陈述客观事实应用一般现在时，主语为tipping,谓语动词用第三人称单数。故填varies.
（10）runding.考查动名词。句意：法国人在餐馆和酒吧收取15%的服务费，要是能凑够整数那再好不过了。分析句子结构可知rund在句中应用非谓语动词形式，此处作主语，应用动名词。故填runding.
