In many cities around the world, this technology is being used to deal with water shortage. Now it’s also popular in some communities in Nanjing. The rainwater harvesting system is not complicated. When it rains, the rainwater falls on the roof and flows into a special 16 . Then it goes through a filter (过滤器) to remove dirt and impurities (杂质). After that, the clean water is stored in a big tank. People can use it to water plants, clean cars or even wash clothes after simple treatment. This system has many advantages. First, it helps 17 water resources. Instead of using tap water for non-drinking purposes, people can use collected rainwater. Second, it reduces the risk of flooding in rainy seasons. The system collects extra rainwater, so less water runs into the streets. Third, it’s good for the environment. Using rainwater means less groundwater is taken out, which 18 the balance of nature. Mr. Li, who lives in a community with this system, said, “We used to worry about water shortage in summer. Now with the rainwater tank, we have enough water for daily use. And the water bill has 19 a lot.” However, setting up the system needs some money at first. But most people think it’s worth it. “It’s a long-term investment (投资) for our planet,” said a community worker. “We hope more communities will 20 this technology in the future.” For most families, using the collected rainwater is 21 . They just need to turn on a special tap to get the water. The water is clean enough for daily non-drinking use, and it doesn’t cost extra money. Some residents even use it to clean the 22 around their houses, making the community more beautiful. This system is not only 23 for saving water but also for building a sense of community. Neighbors often share tips on how to use the rainwater better. The 24 in the community are very satisfied with this system and often recommend it to friends in other areas. By using rainwater harvesting technology, we can not only 25 water resources but also protect our environment. It’s a simple but effective way to go green. 16．A．pipe B．bowl C．basket D．box 17．A．waste B．save C．sell D．buy 18．A．keeps B．breaks C．destroys D．changes 19．A．risen B．fallen C．increased D．doubled 20．A．give up B．look for C．put off D．take up 21．A．easy B．difficult C．interesting D．boring 22．A．sky B．ground C．river D．lake 23．A．bad B．harmful C．helpful D．careful 24．A．teachers B．doctors C．farmers D．residents 25．A．protect B．pollute C．create D．waste 【答案】 16．A 17．B 18．A 19．B 20．D 21．A 22．B 23．C 24．D 25．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了雨水收集系统的优点。 16．句意：下雨时，雨水会落在屋顶上并流入一根特殊的管道中。 pipe管道；bowl碗；basket篮子；box盒子。根据前后文“When it rains, the rainwater falls on the roof”和“Then it goes through a filter (过滤器)”可知，雨水从屋顶流到过滤器中需要经过管道，故选A。 17．句意：首先，它有助于节约水资源。 waste浪费；save节约；sell出售；buy购买。根据下文“Instead of using tap water for non-drinking purposes, people can use collected rainwater.”可知，人们可以使用收集到的雨水来替代之前用于满足非饮用需求的自来水，这样可以节约水资源。故选B。 18．句意：使用雨水意味着抽取的地下水数量会减少，从而维持了自然界的平衡。 keeps保持；breaks打破；destroys破坏；changes改变。根据上文“Using rainwater means less groundwater is taken out”可知，使用雨水会减少地下水的抽取数量，这有助于“维持”（keeps）自然界的平衡。故选A。 19．句意：而且水费也大幅降低了。 risen上升；fallen下降；increased增加；doubled翻倍。根据上文“Now with the rainwater tank, we have enough water for daily use.”可知，雨水替代了部分付费自来水，需支付的水费也随之下降了。故选B。 20．句意：我们希望未来会有更多的社区采用这种技术。 give up放弃；look for寻找；put off推迟；take up采用。根据上文“It’s a long-term investment (投资) for our planet”可知，社区工作人员希望推广这种雨水收集技术，故此处指的是希望未来会有更多的社区采用这种技术。故选D。 21．句意：对于大多数家庭来说，利用收集到的雨水非常简单。 easy简单的；difficult困难的；interesting有趣的；boring无聊的。根据下文“They just need to turn on a special tap to get the water.”可知，利用收集到的雨水非常简单，只需要打开一个专用的水龙头就能取用雨水。故选A。 22．句意：有些居民甚至用它来清洁自家房屋周围的地面，从而使社区变得更加美丽。 sky天空；ground地面；river河流；lake湖泊。根据空格后“around their houses”提示，范围限定在家附近的区域，可推断指的是家周围的地面，故选B。 23．句意：这个系统不仅有助于节约用水，还能增强社区的凝聚力。 bad坏的；harmful有害的；helpful有帮助的；careful小心的。根据下文“for saving water”和“for building a sense of community”可知，本文主要说的是雨水收集系统的优点，故此处指的是系统对节水“有帮助”。故选C。 24．句意：该社区的居民对这个系统非常满意，并经常向其他地区的朋友们推荐它。 teachers老师；doctors医生；farmers农民；residents居民。根据下文“in the community”可知，此处指的是社区里的居民，故选D。 25．句意：通过采用雨水收集技术，我们不仅能保护水资源，还能保护我们的环境。 protect保护；pollute污染；create创造；waste浪费。根据下文“It’s a simple but effective way to go green.”可知，采用雨水收集技术是一种简单却有效的环保方式，故此处指的是雨水收集技术能保护水资源。故选A。 三、阅读单选(本大题共15小题，每小题1分，共15分) 请认真阅读下列材料, 从材料后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答 题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Jalan Amoy Charity Drive (慈善活动) Too many items at home that you have no use for?

These pairs work very closely together. Jerusa Geber is a runner who lost her sight as a teenager. When she races with her guide Garcia, he runs to her left. They each hold one end of a short rope. If they’ve started well, he matches her speed bit by bit, but with the opposite foot. They work so well together that Jerusa now holds the women’s world record in the 100-metre race for blind or nearly blind athletes. Since 2012, guides at the Paralympics can win medals too. But the teamwork is about more than just winning. Garcia is a runner himself. “I like being a guide,” he said. “I feel more pressure (压力) at the Paralympics. I have to give 200% of myself to avoid mistakes and help my teammate do her best.” In cycling, Hannah Chadwick and her guide, Skyler Espinoza, also work closely. When they ride together, Espinoza always holds Chadwick’s hand before starting,” It’s a reminder (提示) that we’re in this together,” Espinoza said. Chadwick and Espinoza follow the same training plan. Sometimes, when the training gets hard, Chadwick thinks of her teammate. “I’m not training just for myself,” she said. “I’m training for both of us!” People sometimes say Espinoza is making a sacrifice (牺牲) for a disabled athlete. But she doesn’t see it that way. Espinoza believes that if she hadn’t been a Paralympic guide, she would never have shone so much in sport. “I’m lucky that Hannah chose me to do this, just as I chose to do it with her,” she said. 29．How does Garcia help the blind athlete Jerusa Geber? A．He walks in front of her to show the path. B．He runs behind her and shouts directions. C．He rides a bicycle next to her to guide the way. D．He holds a rope, running beside her with the opposite foot. 30．Which of the following words best describes the guides at the Paralympics? A．Crazy. B．Generous (willing to give and share). C．Brave. D．Humorous. 31．What’s the best title for the text? A．Winning Together B．How to Become a Great Guide C．Special Help for Athletes D．The Hard Life of Paralympic Athletes 【答案】29．D 30．B 31．A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要介绍了残奥会中盲人或视力受损运动员与引导员之间的紧密合作，展现了他们的团队精神与相互成就。 29．细节理解题。根据“When she races with her guide Garcia, he runs to her left. They each hold one end of a short rope...but with the opposite foot.”可知，当Jerusa和引导员Garcia一起比赛时，他跑在她的左侧，两人各持短绳一端，并用相反的脚步匹配速度。故选D。 30．推理判断题。根据“I feel more pressure (压力) at the Paralympics. I have to give 200% of myself to avoid mistakes and help my teammate do her best.”和“Espinoza believes that if she hadn’t been a Paralympic guide, she would never have shone so much in sport...”可知，这些引导员愿意为了帮助队友而付出更多的努力，他们不认为这是牺牲且感到幸运，这体现了他们具有慷慨、无私奉献的品质。故选B。 31．最佳标题题。全文核心是残奥会运动员与引导员“共同胜利”的协作关系，如Garcia与Jerusa共创纪录、Espinoza与Hannah互相成就。A选项“Winning Together”精准概括主题，适合作为文章标题。故选A。 C In late March, 2025, 22-year-old Wu Miao finished her volunteer service with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) in Bolivia. As a student at Huazhong Agricultural University, she saw a UN Volunteers job posting in May 2024 and she decided to apply. Wu said that she loved helping people and making a difference in their lives. She had already spent three years on volunteer projects at her university. Even with her rich volunteer experience, getting the UN role was not easy. Wu read about the UN’s work, studied a little Spanish and learned about Bolivia’s culture and history. Her hard work paid off, and she finally got the position. When Wu arrived in Bolivia’s capital, La Paz, she faced challenges. La Paz is the world’s highest capital city. The high altitude (海拔) made her feel sick, and the local food upset (使不适) her stomach. But she didn’t give up and quickly got used to the new environment. When heavy rain caused landslides (滑坡), she jumped into action with WFP. According to Wu, she helped hand out emergency supplies (供应) to families and made sure they received the help they needed. She also used the photography (摄影) skills she learned in college to film interviews (访谈) for the WFP’s social media.                                 Through her experience in Bolivia, Wu realized that volunteering needs a strong belief and commitment (奉献). “I’m thankful for the chance to come to Bolivia at such a young age to serve this country, and I’m proud of the work I’ve done,” she said. Travelling alone to one of South America’s less-developed countries, Wu showed courage, belief and independence (独立). 32．Why did Wu Miao apply for the job in Bolivia? A．Because her school asked the students to do so. B．Because she wanted to help others. C．Because she needed to give a report about volunteer work. D．Because she wanted to travel to Bolivia. 33．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3? A．What WFP is. B．Why Wu went to Bolivia. C．How Wu got the volunteer job. D．When Wu finished her volunteer work. 34．What challenges did Wu face when she volunteered in Bolivia? A．She couldn’t communicate with local people. B．She didn’t know WFP’s rules well. C．The high altitude and local food made her feel unwell. D．She had no place to live in the new city. 35．Which of the following words may best describe Wu Miao? A．Shy and careless. B．Lazy and rude. C．Helpful and thankful. D．Calm and honest. 【答案】32．B 33．C 34．C 35．C 【导语】本文是一篇人物报道，讲述了华中农业大学学生吴淼在玻利维亚参与联合国世界粮食计划署志愿服务的经历。 32．细节理解题。根据“Wu said that she loved helping people and making a difference in their lives.”可知，吴淼申请这份工作是因为她喜欢帮助别人，想为他人的生活带来改变。故选B。 33．主旨大意题。第三段主要讲述了吴淼为了获得这份联合国志愿工作所做的努力，包括了解联合国的工作、学习西班牙语、学习玻利维亚的文化和历史，最终成功获得了这个职位，即她如何得到这份志愿工作。故选C。 34．细节理解题。根据“The high altitude made her feel sick, and the local food upset her stomach.”可知，她在玻利维亚面临的挑战是高海拔让她感到不适，当地的食物也让她肠胃不舒服。故选C。 35．推理判断题。根据文中她帮助分发应急物资、为WFP拍摄访谈内容，可知她乐于助人；根据“I’m thankful for the chance to come to Bolivia at such a young age to serve this country…”可知她心怀感恩，因此“Helpful and thankful”最能描述她。故选C。 D Vertical Greening: A New Way to Make Cities Greener    In recent years, more and more cities around the world are facing environmental problems such as air pollution and the heat island effect (热岛效应). To solve these problems, many cities have started to try vertical greening (垂直绿化). Vertical greening means growing plants on the walls of buildings, bridges and other structures. It is a new and effective way to make cities greener and more livable.     Vertical greening has many advantages. First, it can improve air quality. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen through photosynthesis (光合作用). They can also filter (过滤) dust and harmful gases in the air, making the air cleaner. Second, it can reduce the heat island effect. Green plants can absorb heat from the sun and cool down the surrounding environment. Studies show that buildings with vertical greening are 5 to 8 degrees cooler in summer than those without. Third, vertical greening can provide habitats (栖息地) for birds and insects, helping to protect biodiversity (生物多样性). In addition, it can make cities more beautiful and enjoyable.     However, vertical greening is not easy to carry out. It requires careful planning and proper technology. For example, the walls need to be strong enough to support the weight of the plants and the soil. Special irrigation systems (灌溉系统) are also needed to water the plants regularly. Moreover, choosing the right plants is important. Some plants are more suitable for vertical growth, such as ivy (常春藤), climbing roses and ferns (蕨类植物). These plants have strong climbing abilities and can adapt to the environment on walls.     Many cities in China have already adopted vertical greening. For example, in Shanghai, many office buildings and residential buildings have green walls. The Shanghai Tower, one of the tallest buildings in the world, has a large-scale vertical greening system. In Guangzhou, some bridges are covered with green plants, which not only look beautiful but also help to reduce noise. These examples show that vertical greening is becoming more and more popular in China.     As cities continue to develop, vertical greening will play a more important role in creating a sustainable (可持续的) urban environment. It is a promising way to make our cities greener, healthier and more comfortable to live in. 36．What is vertical greening? A．Growing plants on the ground in cities. B．Growing plants on the walls of buildings and other structures. C．Making cities greener by planting more trees in parks. D．Using green materials to build buildings. 37．Which of the following is NOT an advantage of vertical greening? A．Improving air quality. B．Reducing the heat island effect. C．Increasing the weight of buildings. D．Protecting biodiversity. 38．Why is choosing the right plants important for vertical greening? A．Because some plants are more expensive. B．Because some plants have strong climbing abilities and can adapt to the wall environment. C．Because some plants can absorb more carbon dioxide. D．Because some plants are more beautiful. 39．Which city in China is mentioned as an example of adopting vertical greening? A．Beijing. B．Shanghai. C．Chengdu. D．Chongqing. 40．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The problems of modern cities. B．The advantages of vertical greening. C．Vertical greening as a new way to make cities greener. D．The development of vertical greening in the world. 【答案】36．B 37．C 38．B 39．B 40．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕“垂直绿化”展开，先明确其定义，接着阐述其改善空气质量、缓解热岛效应、保护生物多样性等优势，同时说明实施垂直绿化所需的技术和植物选择要求，最后通过上海、广州的案例展示其在国内的应用，指出垂直绿化是让城市更绿色、更宜居的有效新方式，未来将在城市可持续发展中发挥重要作用。 36．细节理解题。根据第一段“Vertical greening means growing plants on the walls of buildings, bridges and other structures.”可知，垂直绿化的定义是在建筑墙体、桥梁等结构上种植植物。故选B。 37．细节理解题。根据第二段“Vertical greening has many advantages. First, it can improve air quality… Second, it can reduce the heat island effect… Third, vertical greening can provide habitats for birds and insects, helping to protect biodiversity.

In many cities around the world, this technology is being used to deal with water shortage. Now it’s also popular in some communities in Nanjing. The rainwater harvesting system is not complicated. When it rains, the rainwater falls on the roof and flows into a special 16 . Then it goes through a filter (过滤器) to remove dirt and impurities (杂质). After that, the clean water is stored in a big tank. People can use it to water plants, clean cars or even wash clothes after simple treatment. This system has many advantages. First, it helps 17 water resources. Instead of using tap water for non-drinking purposes, people can use collected rainwater. Second, it reduces the risk of flooding in rainy seasons. The system collects extra rainwater, so less water runs into the streets. Third, it’s good for the environment. Using rainwater means less groundwater is taken out, which 18 the balance of nature. Mr. Li, who lives in a community with this system, said, “We used to worry about water shortage in summer. Now with the rainwater tank, we have enough water for daily use. And the water bill has 19 a lot.” However, setting up the system needs some money at first. But most people think it’s worth it. “It’s a long-term investment (投资) for our planet,” said a community worker. “We hope more communities will 20 this technology in the future.” For most families, using the collected rainwater is 21 . They just need to turn on a special tap to get the water. The water is clean enough for daily non-drinking use, and it doesn’t cost extra money. Some residents even use it to clean the 22 around their houses, making the community more beautiful. This system is not only 23 for saving water but also for building a sense of community. Neighbors often share tips on how to use the rainwater better. The 24 in the community are very satisfied with this system and often recommend it to friends in other areas. By using rainwater harvesting technology, we can not only 25 water resources but also protect our environment. It’s a simple but effective way to go green. 16．A．pipe B．bowl C．basket D．box 17．A．waste B．save C．sell D．buy 18．A．keeps B．breaks C．destroys D．changes 19．A．risen B．fallen C．increased D．doubled 20．A．give up B．look for C．put off D．take up 21．A．easy B．difficult C．interesting D．boring 22．A．sky B．ground C．river D．lake 23．A．bad B．harmful C．helpful D．careful 24．A．teachers B．doctors C．farmers D．residents 25．A．protect B．pollute C．create D．waste 三、阅读单选(本大题共15小题，每小题1分，共15分) 请认真阅读下列材料, 从材料后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答 题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Jalan Amoy Charity Drive (慈善活动) Too many items at home that you have no use for?

B At the Paralympic Games (残奥会), many blind or nearly blind athletes race (比赛) with the help of a guide. These pairs work very closely together. Jerusa Geber is a runner who lost her sight as a teenager. When she races with her guide Garcia, he runs to her left. They each hold one end of a short rope. If they’ve started well, he matches her speed bit by bit, but with the opposite foot. They work so well together that Jerusa now holds the women’s world record in the 100-metre race for blind or nearly blind athletes. Since 2012, guides at the Paralympics can win medals too. But the teamwork is about more than just winning. Garcia is a runner himself. “I like being a guide,” he said. “I feel more pressure (压力) at the Paralympics. I have to give 200% of myself to avoid mistakes and help my teammate do her best.” In cycling, Hannah Chadwick and her guide, Skyler Espinoza, also work closely. When they ride together, Espinoza always holds Chadwick’s hand before starting,” It’s a reminder (提示) that we’re in this together,” Espinoza said. Chadwick and Espinoza follow the same training plan. Sometimes, when the training gets hard, Chadwick thinks of her teammate. “I’m not training just for myself,” she said. “I’m training for both of us!” People sometimes say Espinoza is making a sacrifice (牺牲) for a disabled athlete. But she doesn’t see it that way. Espinoza believes that if she hadn’t been a Paralympic guide, she would never have shone so much in sport. “I’m lucky that Hannah chose me to do this, just as I chose to do it with her,” she said. 29．How does Garcia help the blind athlete Jerusa Geber? A．He walks in front of her to show the path. B．He runs behind her and shouts directions. C．He rides a bicycle next to her to guide the way. D．He holds a rope, running beside her with the opposite foot. 30．Which of the following words best describes the guides at the Paralympics? A．Crazy. B．Generous (willing to give and share). C．Brave. D．Humorous. 31．What’s the best title for the text? A．Winning Together B．How to Become a Great Guide C．Special Help for Athletes D．The Hard Life of Paralympic Athletes C In late March, 2025, 22-year-old Wu Miao finished her volunteer service with the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) in Bolivia. As a student at Huazhong Agricultural University, she saw a UN Volunteers job posting in May 2024 and she decided to apply. Wu said that she loved helping people and making a difference in their lives. She had already spent three years on volunteer projects at her university. Even with her rich volunteer experience, getting the UN role was not easy. Wu read about the UN’s work, studied a little Spanish and learned about Bolivia’s culture and history. Her hard work paid off, and she finally got the position. When Wu arrived in Bolivia’s capital, La Paz, she faced challenges. La Paz is the world’s highest capital city. The high altitude (海拔) made her feel sick, and the local food upset (使不适) her stomach. But she didn’t give up and quickly got used to the new environment. When heavy rain caused landslides (滑坡), she jumped into action with WFP. According to Wu, she helped hand out emergency supplies (供应) to families and made sure they received the help they needed. She also used the photography (摄影) skills she learned in college to film interviews (访谈) for the WFP’s social media.                                 Through her experience in Bolivia, Wu realized that volunteering needs a strong belief and commitment (奉献). “I’m thankful for the chance to come to Bolivia at such a young age to serve this country, and I’m proud of the work I’ve done,” she said.

D Vertical Greening: A New Way to Make Cities Greener    In recent years, more and more cities around the world are facing environmental problems such as air pollution and the heat island effect (热岛效应). To solve these problems, many cities have started to try vertical greening (垂直绿化). Vertical greening means growing plants on the walls of buildings, bridges and other structures. It is a new and effective way to make cities greener and more livable.     Vertical greening has many advantages. First, it can improve air quality. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen through photosynthesis (光合作用). They can also filter (过滤) dust and harmful gases in the air, making the air cleaner. Second, it can reduce the heat island effect. Green plants can absorb heat from the sun and cool down the surrounding environment. Studies show that buildings with vertical greening are 5 to 8 degrees cooler in summer than those without. Third, vertical greening can provide habitats (栖息地) for birds and insects, helping to protect biodiversity (生物多样性). In addition, it can make cities more beautiful and enjoyable.     However, vertical greening is not easy to carry out. It requires careful planning and proper technology. For example, the walls need to be strong enough to support the weight of the plants and the soil. Special irrigation systems (灌溉系统) are also needed to water the plants regularly. Moreover, choosing the right plants is important. Some plants are more suitable for vertical growth, such as ivy (常春藤), climbing roses and ferns (蕨类植物). These plants have strong climbing abilities and can adapt to the environment on walls.     Many cities in China have already adopted vertical greening. For example, in Shanghai, many office buildings and residential buildings have green walls. The Shanghai Tower, one of the tallest buildings in the world, has a large-scale vertical greening system. In Guangzhou, some bridges are covered with green plants, which not only look beautiful but also help to reduce noise. These examples show that vertical greening is becoming more and more popular in China.     As cities continue to develop, vertical greening will play a more important role in creating a sustainable (可持续的) urban environment. It is a promising way to make our cities greener, healthier and more comfortable to live in. 36．What is vertical greening? A．Growing plants on the ground in cities. B．Growing plants on the walls of buildings and other structures. C．Making cities greener by planting more trees in parks. D．Using green materials to build buildings. 37．Which of the following is NOT an advantage of vertical greening? A．Improving air quality. B．Reducing the heat island effect. C．Increasing the weight of buildings. D．Protecting biodiversity. 38．Why is choosing the right plants important for vertical greening? A．Because some plants are more expensive. B．Because some plants have strong climbing abilities and can adapt to the wall environment. C．Because some plants can absorb more carbon dioxide. D．Because some plants are more beautiful. 39．Which city in China is mentioned as an example of adopting vertical greening? A．Beijing. B．Shanghai. C．Chengdu. D．Chongqing. 40．What is the main idea of the passage? A．The problems of modern cities. B．The advantages of vertical greening. C．Vertical greening as a new way to make cities greener.

But perhaps most of us have never thought about what it takes to run such intelligent (智能的) products. One thing this technology depends on may get you surprised—plenty of water! Why does a computer programme need so much water? In fact, in order to have the ability to write like a human, an AI system must first study a large amount (数量) of text written by humans. In the process, it not only uses much electricity but also produces much heat. So, on hot days, computer engineers use water to keep the computers cool. Microsoft has worked with OpenAI for years. In a recent report, Microsoft shared how much water was used from 2021 to 2022. The total amount of water used in cooling machines is enough to fill more than 2,500 Olympic-sized swimming pools. It is believed the training of AI systems leads to the big rise. Usually, AI supercomputing centres lie in places that are cool for most of the years. These centres can just use outside air to cool the computers. But in summer, the temperature goes to 30℃. The computer engineers have to use a large amount of water to cool all the machines. ChatGPT also “drinks” water while chatting. Scientists have worked out the environmental costs of using AI products. For a conversation of 20 to 50 questions and answers, ChatGPT uses up a bottle of water, about 500 ml. The exact amount of water used in chatting changes with the seasons. Many people are unaware of the problem. If you don’t know how many resources ChatGPT uses, how can you help to save water? The next time you are amazed at how smart ChatGPT is, think about how much water it’s “drinking”. Why not reduce the time of talking to machines—to help save the Earth’s water resources? Around the world, intelligent products are 56 heatedly. However, the fact that much water is used in running them may 57 many people. The 58 for using much water When an AI has the ability of 59 like a man, it needs electricity and produces heat. As a result, water is used to keep the computers cool. A recent report by Microsoft From 2021 to 2022, the amount of the water used in cooling machines kept 60 . The training of the AI systems is the cause of it. The analysis (分析) The amount of used water is ◇ connected with 61 where AI supercomputing centres are built. ◇ affected by the high 62 in these places. ◇ not the 63 all year round and changes with the seasons. Advice ◇ Consider it as a 64 . ◇ Save the Earth’s water resources by having more 65 with humans.
