题目内容
1.People in developed countries usually get their drinking water from a faucet(水龙头) or a bottle.But finding safe drinking water can be rather (54)difficultin developing countries.People in India,for example,often drink polluted water,which can lead to illness or even (55)death.But one Indian country,Sarvajal,has (56)inventeda great machine:the"water ATM".Sarvajal's water-filtering(水过滤) network has already (57)provided/produced/preparedclean water in more than 130places.Many of these places are small (58)villages.The water ATM is new and important part of Sarvajal's business.How do these water ATMs (59)work?First,local workers filter water using Sarvajal's equipment(设备).Then workers (60)sendthe clean water to the ATMs and sell prepaid (预付费) cards to local people.Then they can (61)easilyget water from the ATMs with the cards.
Thanks to Sarvajal's network and water ATMs,clean water is now (62)availbleto over 70.000people in India.It makes sense that in one of the local(63)languagesSarvajal means"water for all".
分析 文章大意:本文叙述了印度的一家公司Sarvajal为了让人们喝到干净的水,发明了一种机器---水的ATM机,在130多个站点给人们提供干净的水.
解答 54.difficult.考查形容词用法,根据下文for example,often drink polluted water,which can lead to illness 可知人们喝了一些受污染的水,所以发展中国家喝到干净的水很难,应该用形容词困难,以d为首字母的形容词是difficult,故用difficult.
55.death.考查名词用法,根据文中有which can lead to illness or even 可知比疾病更严重的就是死亡,因为前面illness是名词,因此应该用死亡的名词,结合首字母d,故用death.
56.invented.考查动词用法,Sarvajal 发明了一种机器---水的ATM机.根据a great machine,结合首字母i可知这里应该用动词invent发明.因为空格前有has,所以这里应该invented来构成现在完成时,故用invented.
57.provided/produced/prepared.考查动词用法,Sarvajal 通过过滤水,在130多个站点给人们提供干净的水.结合首字母p可知这里应该用动词provide/produce/prepare,这里空格前有has所以这里应该用现在完成时,所以用提供的过去分词provided/produced/prepared.故用provided/produced/prepared.
58.villages.考查名词用法,因为首字母是v,根据文章可以推断出,应该是小的村庄没有干净的水,所以应该用village,又因为村庄是可数名词,故用villages.
59.work.考查动词用法,根据First,local workers filter water using Sarvajal's equipment(设备).Then workers send the clean water to the ATMS and sell prepaid(预付款) cards to local people.可知这里叙述了ATM机的工作原理,又因为首字母是w,故用work.
60.send.考查动词用法,根据上下文可以知道工人们把水送到 ATMs机,因为首字母是s,故用动词send.
61.easily.考查副词用法,根据Then workers send the clean water to theand sell prepaid (预付费) cards to local people.可知人们很容易用预付费的卡从ATMs取水,因为首字母是e,用副词修饰动词,故用easily.
62.available.考查形容词用法,70,000 人可以喝到干净的水.因为首字母是a,因此这里是短语be available to sb可被某人得到或利用,故用available.
63.languages.考查名词用法,因为首字母是l,应该是当地的语言,所以应该用语言language,又因为one of+可数名词的复数,故用languages.

In UK,Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras are everywhere.They help the police solve crimes and keep the streets safe.But that's not all they do.They also catch people doing very stupid or smart things.
One of the videos is of a British woman Mary Bale.She clearly doesn't like cats.In 2010she was caught on CCTV throwing one into a dustbin.The video shows Mary walking down a quiet street.All of sudden,she notices Lola the cat jump onto a fence.Mary stops to pickup Lola and drops her into a large dustbin.Lola was saved fifteen hours later.And Mary was arrested for causing unnecessary suffering to an animal.She was fined ( 罚款)£250 and was not allowed to own pets for five years.
Another video shows"Britain's drunkest man".He's been at a party at London's Savoy Hotel.And he'd obviously had a few too many glasses of beer.At about 2a.m.,he was kicked out for being too drunk.So,he decided to walk home.On the way,CCTV cameras filmed him falling down stairs and crossing the roads madly…A Savoy Hotel waiter said,"It's amazing he didn't hurt himself badly."
Sometimes they also record smart events.Once a British band The Get Out Clause didn't have any money to make a music video.So,they came up with an unbelievable idea.They set up their instruments ( 乐器) and played a song in front of eight CCTV cameras.And then,according to the English Freedom of Information Act,they asked for a copy of all the footages ( 视频),which they edited.The result is that a totally new music video was made,and it didn't cost them a penny
