Two decades later, Janssen developed that basic idea he saw in Southeast Asia into a portable device that uses the power from the sun to purify water. B The Desolenator operates as a mobile desalination unit that can take water from different places, such as the sea, rivers, boreholes and rain, and purify it for human consumption. It is particularly valuable in regions where natural groundwater reserves have been polluted, or where seawater is the only water source available. Janssen saw that there was a need for a sustainable way to clean water in both the developing and the developed countries when he moved to the United Arab Emirates and saw large-scale water processing. “I was confronted with the enormous carbon footprint that the Gulf nations have because of all of the desalination that they do,” he says. C The Desolenator can produce 15 litres of drinking water per day, enough to sustain a family for cooking and drinking. Its main selling point is that unlike standard desalination techniques, it doesn’t require a generated power supply: just sunlight. It measures 120 cm by 90 cm, and is easy to transport, thanks to its two wheels. Water enters through a pipe, and flows as a thin film between a sheet of double glazing and the surface of a solar panel, where it is heated by the sun. The warm water flows into a small boiler (heated by a solar-powered battery) where it is converted to steam. When the steam cools, it becomes distilled water. The device has a very simple filter to trap particles, and this can easily be shaken to remove them. There are two tubes for liquid coming out: one for the waste—salt from seawater, fluoride, etc., and another for the distilled water. The performance of the unit is shown on an LCD screen and transmitted to the company which provides servicing when necessary. D A recent analysis found that at least two-thirds of the world’s population lives with severe water scarcity for at least a month every year. Janssen says that by 2030 half of the world’s population will be living with water stress—where the demand exceeds the supply over a certain period of time. “It is really important that a sustainable solution is brought to the market that is able to help these people,” he says. “Many countries don’t have the money for desalination plants, which are very expensive to build. They don’t have the money to operate them, they are very maintenance intensive, and they don’t have the money to buy the diesel to run the desalination plants, so it is a really bad situation.” E The device is aimed at a wide variety of users—from homeowners in the developing world who do not have a constant supply of water to people living off the grid in rural parts of the US. The first commercial versions of the Desolenator are expected to be in operation in India early next year, after field tests are carried out. The market for the self-sufficient devices in developing countries is twofold—those who cannot afford the money for the device outright and pay through microfinance, and middle-income homes that can lease their own equipment. “People in India don’t pay for a fridge outright; they pay for it over six months. They would put the Desolenator on their roof and hook it up to their municipal supply and they would get very reliable drinking water on a daily basis,” Janssen says. In the developed world, it is aimed at niche markets where tap water is unavailable—for camping, on boats, or for the military, for instance. F Prices will vary according to where it is bought. In the developing world, the price will depend on what deal aid organisations can negotiate. In developed countries, it is likely to come in at $1,000 (£685) a unit, said Janssen. “We are a venture with a social mission. We are aware that the product we have envisioned is mainly finding application in the developing world and humanitarian sector and that this is the way we will proceed. We do realise, though, that to be a viable company there is a bottom line to keep in mind,” he says. G The company itself is based at Imperial College London, although Janssen, its chief executive, still lives in the UAE. It has raised £340,000 in funding so far. Within two years, he says, the company aims to be selling 1,000 units a month, mainly in the humanitarian field. They are expected to be sold in areas such as Australia, northern Chile, Peru, Texas and California. i. Getting the finance for production ii. An unexpected benefit iii.

With a ________ look, she said, “This is the first time I ________ flowers on my birthday.” A. surprised; have received B. surprised; received C. surprising; received D. surprising; have received 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】句意：她带着惊讶的表情说：“这是我第一次在生日时收到花。” 考查形容词辨析和时态。surprised惊讶的，通常修饰人；surprising令人惊讶的，通常修饰物。第一空修饰名词“look”，此处指她惊讶的表情，强调人的主观感受，所以用surprised；第二空，根据句型“This is the first time+从句”表示“这是第一次……”，从句中通常使用现在完成时，所以此处用have received。故选A。 27. Our school life ________ a lot since 2019. We have more activities now. A. changes B. changed C. will change D. has changed 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：自从2019年以来，我们的学校生活改变了很多。我们现在有更多的活动了。 考查动词的时态。“since 2019”是现在完成时的标志词，其结构为“have/has+过去分词”，主语“Our school life”是第三人称单数，所以用“has changed”。故选D。 28. You won’t know if the coat fits you until you ________ it on. A. will try B. are trying C. tried D. have tried 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】句意：你只有试穿了这件外套，才知道它是否合身。 考查动词的时态。will try一般将来时；are trying现在进行时；tried过去式；have tried现在完成时。根据“You won’t know if the coat fits you until you...it on.”可知，空处需用现在完成时，表示动作完成对未来的影响，强调“试穿”动作完成后才能知道结果。故选D。 29. They ________ friends since they met in Shanghai. A. have made B. have become C. have been D. have had 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：自从他们在上海相遇后，他们就一直是朋友。 考查现在完成时。根据“They...friends since they met in Shanghai.”可知，此处为现在完成时，make和become是短暂性动词，不能与since连用，此处要用延续性动词，所以排除选项A和B；have had表示“拥有”；be friends表示成为朋友的这种状态，符合题意。故选C。 30. The Gumokou museum ________ last week, and thousands of students ________ it already. A. opened; visited B. has opened; have visited C. opened; have visited D. has opened; visited 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：古莫库博物馆上周刚刚开放，已经有成千上万的学生前来参观了。 考查动词时态。根据last week可知，前半句用一般过去时。根据already可知，后半句用现在完成时have done的结构，故选C。 31. Helen loves to talk about travel. She ________ many places. A. has gone to B. has been to C. has gone for D. has been from 【答案】B 【解析】 【详解】句意：海伦喜欢谈论旅游。她去过许多的地方。 考查现在完成时。has gone to去了某地(还没回来)；has been to去过某地(已经回来)；has gone for搭配错误；has been from搭配错误。根据“Helen loves to talk about travel.”可知，海伦去过很多地方。故选B。 C. 用括号里单词的正确形式填空 (7分) 32.

After years of ________ (develop), smart devices have become part of daily life. 【答案】development 【解析】 【详解】句意：经过多年的发展，智能设备已经成为日常生活的一部分。根据“of”可知，此处使用名词，develop的名词形式为development“发展”，不可数名词。故填development。 34. This voice assistant is very ________ (help) when I need to set alarms. 【答案】helpful 【解析】 【详解】句意：当我需要设置闹钟时，这个语音助手非常有用。由“is”可知，空格处应填入形容词作表语，描述语音助手的特性，help的形容词形式是helpful“有用的，有帮助的”。故填helpful。 35.

I was ________ (true) sorry for being late for the meeting. 【答案】truly 【解析】 【详解】句意：我为开会迟到感到非常抱歉。根据空前的“was”和空后的“sorry”可知，此处需用副词来修饰形容词“sorry”，所给词“true”是形容词，意为“真实的”，其对应的副词形式是“truly”，意为“真正地、非常”，故填truly。 D. 根据要求写句子 (4分) 39.

Two decades later, Janssen developed that basic idea he saw in Southeast Asia into a portable device that uses the power from the sun to purify water. B The Desolenator operates as a mobile desalination unit that can take water from different places, such as the sea, rivers, boreholes and rain, and purify it for human consumption. It is particularly valuable in regions where natural groundwater reserves have been polluted, or where seawater is the only water source available. Janssen saw that there was a need for a sustainable way to clean water in both the developing and the developed countries when he moved to the United Arab Emirates and saw large-scale water processing. “I was confronted with the enormous carbon footprint that the Gulf nations have because of all of the desalination that they do,” he says. C The Desolenator can produce 15 litres of drinking water per day, enough to sustain a family for cooking and drinking. Its main selling point is that unlike standard desalination techniques, it doesn’t require a generated power supply: just sunlight. It measures 120 cm by 90 cm, and is easy to transport, thanks to its two wheels. Water enters through a pipe, and flows as a thin film between a sheet of double glazing and the surface of a solar panel, where it is heated by the sun. The warm water flows into a small boiler (heated by a solar-powered battery) where it is converted to steam. When the steam cools, it becomes distilled water. The device has a very simple filter to trap particles, and this can easily be shaken to remove them. There are two tubes for liquid coming out: one for the waste—salt from seawater, fluoride, etc., and another for the distilled water. The performance of the unit is shown on an LCD screen and transmitted to the company which provides servicing when necessary. D A recent analysis found that at least two-thirds of the world’s population lives with severe water scarcity for at least a month every year. Janssen says that by 2030 half of the world’s population will be living with water stress—where the demand exceeds the supply over a certain period of time. “It is really important that a sustainable solution is brought to the market that is able to help these people,” he says. “Many countries don’t have the money for desalination plants, which are very expensive to build. They don’t have the money to operate them, they are very maintenance intensive, and they don’t have the money to buy the diesel to run the desalination plants, so it is a really bad situation.” E The device is aimed at a wide variety of users—from homeowners in the developing world who do not have a constant supply of water to people living off the grid in rural parts of the US. The first commercial versions of the Desolenator are expected to be in operation in India early next year, after field tests are carried out. The market for the self-sufficient devices in developing countries is twofold—those who cannot afford the money for the device outright and pay through microfinance, and middle-income homes that can lease their own equipment. “People in India don’t pay for a fridge outright; they pay for it over six months. They would put the Desolenator on their roof and hook it up to their municipal supply and they would get very reliable drinking water on a daily basis,” Janssen says. In the developed world, it is aimed at niche markets where tap water is unavailable—for camping, on boats, or for the military, for instance. F Prices will vary according to where it is bought. In the developing world, the price will depend on what deal aid organisations can negotiate. In developed countries, it is likely to come in at $1,000 (£685) a unit, said Janssen. “We are a venture with a social mission. We are aware that the product we have envisioned is mainly finding application in the developing world and humanitarian sector and that this is the way we will proceed. We do realise, though, that to be a viable company there is a bottom line to keep in mind,” he says. G The company itself is based at Imperial College London, although Janssen, its chief executive, still lives in the UAE. It has raised £340,000 in funding so far. Within two years, he says, the company aims to be selling 1,000 units a month, mainly in the humanitarian field. They are expected to be sold in areas such as Australia, northern Chile, Peru, Texas and California. i. Getting the finance for production ii. An unexpected benefit iii.
