Mre than ne billin peple currently live in envirnments where water is in shrt supply，making water ne f the mst highly prized natural resurces. Scientists are always searching fr ways t increase access t this valuable resurce. They may have fund a slutin in an unlikely area：ne f the driest places Earth.
The Namib Desert in Africa is ne f the wrld’s driest places，while the Namib beetle is a unique rganism that grws in this envirnment because f its amazing physical adaptatin. The wings f the Namib beetle are filled with bumps and grves（槽）that help it cllect water frm the air. The tp f each bump is smth like glass and attracts water. But the slpes f each bump and the grves in between the bumps have waxy（光滑的）surfaces that repel water. Each time the fg ccurs，the beetle psitins its bdy at a 45-degree angle t the wind. as the wind pushes the fg acrss the desert，each bump n the beetle’s back cllects water. When enugh misture has been cllected frm the fg，a drp rlls ff the bumps int the waxy grves and then int the muth f the beetle.
Scientists are using the Namib beetles wing design as a guide fr creating their wn water-cllectin surfaces. They have inserted dzens f glass glbes int thin layers f wax. Similar t the bumps and grves n the wings f the beetle, the smth glass bubbles cllect water, while the wax repels it By placing the glass-and-wax panels in envirnments with high-misture air, the scientists think they will be able t cllect water.
The Namib beetle’s wing design may als prvide unexpected slutins t ther prblems. In areas where thick fg causes chas, panels f these water-gathering surfaces may be able t remve the fg. This culd ptentially reduce travel delays at airprts and prevent fg-related accidents n radways. It seems that studying this little beetle may lead t a variety f benefits fr humans.
1. What will the Namib beetle d when fg appears in the desert?
A. It will release a waxy substance t cver its back.
B. It will place its bdy in a particular way t cllect water.
C. It will create bumps and grves n its wings.
D. It will pen its muth t drink the water in the air.
2. The authr fcuses n a unique feature f the Namib beetle in rder t highlight hw the beetle______.
A. culd serve as a surce f water fr desert travelers.
B. struggles t survive in the dry part f the wrld.
C. uses its wings t stay cl in a dry envirnment.
D. is able t get access t water in the absence f rain.
3. What’s the writing purpse f this passage?
A. T prve that water can be btained frm mist air.
B. T explain hw the Namib beetle adapts t living in a hstile envirnment.
C. T shw hw peple can apply designs frm nature t creating slutins t glbal prblems.
D. T stress that water is a valuable resurce in many areas n earth.

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。目前有10多亿人生活在缺水的环境中，使水成为最受重视的自然资源之一。科学家们一直在寻找增加这种宝贵资源的途径。文章介绍了纳米布甲虫可以在沙漠中储存水，科学家从这种甲虫身上得到启发，来发明可以在沙漠中储存水的技术。
1. B 细节理解题。根据第二段中 Each time the fg ccurs. the muth f the beetl可知每当有雾时，甲虫就会将身体与风成45度角。当风把雾吹过沙漠时，甲虫背上的每一块突起都收集了水分。当甲虫从雾中收集到足够的水分后，一滴水滴从突起处滚到光滑的凹槽中，然后进入甲虫的口中。由此可知，当沙漠中出现雾时，纳米布甲虫会把身体处于一种特殊的方式来收集水分。
2. D 推理判断题。根据第三段中 Scientists are using the namib beetle’s wing design as a guide fr creating their wn water-cllectin surfaces. 可知科学家们正以纳米布甲虫的翅膀设计为指导来创造集水表面。由此可推知，作者将重点放在纳米布甲虫的一个独特特征上，是为了强调这种甲虫是如何在缺乏雨水的情况下获得水的。
3. C 推理判断题。根据最后一段中 It seems that studying this little beetle may lead t a variety f benefits fr humans. 可知似乎研究这种小甲虫可能会给人类带来各种好处。本文说明了目前有10多亿人生活在缺水的环境中，使水成为最受重视的自然资源之一。科学家们一直在寻找增加这种宝贵资源的途径。科学家发现纳米布甲虫可以在沙漠中储存水，从而得到启发，发明可以在沙漠中储存水的技术。由此可推知，这篇文章的写作目的是展示人们如何应用大自然的创造来解决全球性的问题。
