But now a Jordanian startup has created an incredibly efficient Atmospheric Water Generating Device (AWG) that can generate water in even the driest environments. For a dry and thirsty region, this device can be a gamechanger.Jordan is one of the most water insecure countries in the world, and with the population growing, the need for water is becoming more critical. In many areas, water is only available for 36 hours a week.“Our situation—with the lack of natural resources and water—puts us in a position where we have to do something,” Tamer Al Salah, managing director of BeyondCapital, a venture capital firm based in Jordan, said. “Climate entrepreneurship (創業) is important and it's growing.”That's where Aquaporo comes in. Led by CEO Kyle Cordova and engineering director Husam Almassad, Aquaporo started working in Cordova's research lab at Jordan's Royal Scientific Society three years ago to develop an AWG device that could copy nature by pulling water out of the desert air. In fact, the device can pull out more than double the amount of other water harvesting devices in desert areas.The device uses special materials that can capture water from the desert air. The water is then purified so that it is fit for human consumption. If that were not enough, the device is also solar powered, so that it can be used anywhere.It's reported that the Aquaporo's machine which is about the size of an air conditioning unit has impressed the Jordanian government so much that they have ordered 1,000 units that they hope to hand out for free to families throughout the country in the coming year.In reality, the idea of collecting water from the air is not new. People have been harvesting water drops using both man made and natural materials for thousands of years. What makes Aquaporo and its researchers so special is their ability to look to the past for solutions and use today's technology to make those solutions even better.篇章導讀:本文是一篇新聞報道。文章介紹了約旦的一家初創公司Aquaporo花了三年時間在實驗室中研發了一款高效的大氣水生成裝備,從而在干燥的環境中產生水,為干旱和缺水地區帶來了福音。1.What is the function of AWG A.Creating an incredibly efficient device.B.Producing water in dry and thirsty areas.C.Purifying water in the driest environments.D.Changing living conditions in a dry region.答案:B解析:細節理解題。根據第一段中的“But now a Jordanian startup ... be a gamechanger.(但現在,一家約旦的初創公司發明了一種非常高效的大氣水生成裝置(AWG),即使在最干燥的環境中也能產生水。對于干旱和缺水的地區,這個設備可以產生重要影響。)”可知,AWG是一個非常高效的大氣水生成裝置,可以給干旱和缺水的地區提供水。故選B。2.How did researchers in Aquaporo first conduct their research work A.By experimenting in the lab.B.By pulling water in the deserts.C.By developing a suitable device.D.By doubling the amount of water.答案:A解析:細節理解題。根據第四段中的“That's where Aquaporo comes in ... out of the desert air. (這就是Aquaporo的用武之地。在首席執行官凱爾·科多瓦和工程總監胡薩姆·阿爾馬薩德的帶領下,Aquaporo三年前開始在Cordova位于約旦皇家科學學會的研究實驗室工作,開發一種AWG設備,該設備可以通過從沙漠空氣中提取水分來復制大自然。)”可知,研究者們是先通過在實驗室做實驗來研制該設備而開展研究工作的。故選A。3.What do we know about the Aquaporo's machine from the passage A.It's like an air conditioner to generate water.B.It is being produced by the local government.C.It has been sent to all families free of charge.D.It hasn't been given to people across the country.答案:D解析:推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段“It's reported that ... the country in the coming year.(據報道,Aquaporo的空調大小的機器給約旦政府留下了深刻的印象,他們訂購了1,000臺,希望在明年免費分發給全國各地的家庭。)”可推知,約旦政府預訂了1,000臺機器,目前并沒有將機器分發到各個家庭。故選D。4.What is probably the best title of this text A.A Device Satisfies People's Usage of WaterB.Water is Available for Everyday Use in JordanC.New Startup Creates Water from the Desert AirD.Today's Technology Makes Life Even Better答案:C解析:標題判斷題。通讀全文,尤其是根據第一段“There are very few places ... can be a gamechanger.”可知,本文介紹了約旦的一家初創公司研發了一款高效的大氣水生成裝備,在干燥的環境中也能產生水,所以C項(初創公司從沙漠空氣中制造水)最適合作為本文的標題。故選C。BCan a small group of drones (無人機) guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year That is the very likely future of applying today's “eyes in the sky” technology to making sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure (基礎設施) worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis.Drones are already being used to examine high tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points. The more regularly they can be inspected, the more railway safety, reliability and on time performance will be improved. Costs would be cut and operations would be more efficient (高效) across the board.That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety. It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerous work that could be avoided with drones assisting the crews' efforts.By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing higher value services for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause any safety problems. To perform these tasks, drones for rail don't need to be flying overhead. Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future. They will be moving on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to run autonomously. Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast moving trains would be able to react in time.篇章導讀:本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了無人機在鐵路交通中的應用。5.What makes the application of drones to rail lines possible A.The use of drones in checking on power lines.B.Drones' ability to work at high altitudes.C.The reduction of cost in designing drones.D.Drones' reliable performance in remote areas.答案:A解析:細節理解題。根據第二段前兩句“Drones are already being used ... switching points.(無人機已經被用于檢查高壓電線。它們完全可以做同樣的事情來檢查鐵路線路和鐵路基礎設施的其他重要方面,如鐵路軌道和換乘點的正確位置。)”可知,使用無人機檢查電力線路使無人機應用于鐵路線路成為可能。故選A。6.What does “maintenance” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to A.Personnel safety.B.Assistance from drones.C.Inspection and repair.D.Construction of infrastructure.答案:C解析:詞義猜測題。根據畫線詞后“It is calculated that ... to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure.”可知,僅歐洲鐵路公司每年在鐵路維護上的花費就約為200億歐元,其中包括經常在夜間派遣維修人員檢查和維修鐵路基礎設施,由此可知,maintenance是“維護,保養”的意思。故選C。7.What function is expected of the rail drones A.To provide early warning.B.To make trains run automatically.C.To earn profits for the crews.D.To accelerate transportation.答案:A解析:推理判斷題。根據最后一段中的“Very small drones ... to react in time.”可知,憑借無人機的預見能力,它們可以發出任何問題的信號,以便快速行駛的火車能及時做出反應。由此可推知,對無人機期待的功能是提供預警。故選A。8.Which is the most suitable title for the text A.What Faults Can Be Detected with DronesB.How Production of Drones Can Be ExpandedC.What Difficulty Drone Development Will FaceD.How Drones Will Change the Future of Railways答案:D解析:標題判斷題。本文介紹了無人機在鐵路交通中的應用,講述無人機將如何改變鐵路的未來,包括使鐵路變得更安全、更可靠、更省錢等。D項最適合作為本文的標題。故選D。Ⅱ 七選五How AI Protects UsWe should consider AI not as something competing with us, but as something that can strengthen our abilities. __1__.

Certainly, it has some advantages. Firstly, online education isn't limited by time and place. Students have access to their study materials whenever and wherever they like. Secondly, online education frees teachers from repeating the same teaching contents since the video can be played over and over again.However, online education also has some drawbacks. With online courses, students have to spend more time using computers, causing the loss of their eyesight. And online education will reduce the communication between students and teachers, which will lead to the lack of learning atmosphere.Personally, if traditional teaching and online education can be combined, more fruitful education is bound to be realized.14(共58張PPT)WELCOME UNITUNIT 2 LOOKING INTOTHE FUTURESection Ⅳ Assessing Your Progress & Video Time課前預習 效果檢測合作探究 精研重點目錄CONTENTS12學習效果 當堂鞏固3課后課時作業4課前預習 效果檢測一 核心單詞(1個)A.寫出英語單詞________ adj. 精確的;準確的B.翻譯(牛津高階)任何時期都必須保存準確的記錄。________________________________________________accurateAccurate records must be kept at all times.二 拓展單詞(1個)A.寫出英語單詞,并嘗試寫出其詞性轉換(可查字典)________ n. 圖書館;圖書室→________ n. 圖書管理員;圖書館館長B.翻譯(柯林斯詞典)這位新來的圖書管理員是我的朋友。________________________________________________librarylibrarianThe new librarian is a friend of mine.合作探究 精研重點1 [教材原句P22]The prospect of getting a high-paying job is low, but I find it more meaningful to help people there.找到一份高薪工作的可能性很低,但我覺得幫助那里的人更有意義。剖析 find it more meaningful to help people是“find+it+adj.+to do sth”結構,其中it作形式賓語,真正的賓語是后面的不定式短語“to help people there”,形容詞 more meaningful作賓語補足語。歸納①(2024·浙江高考1月)Having a poor sense of direction, Eva found it impossible to get around in such a huge building.

(這就是Aquaporo的用武之地。在首席執行官凱爾·科多瓦和工程總監胡薩姆·阿爾馬薩德的帶領下,Aquaporo三年前開始在Cordova位于約旦皇家科學學會的研究實驗室工作,開發一種AWG設備,該設備可以通過從沙漠空氣中提取水分來復制大自然。)”可知,研究者們是先通過在實驗室做實驗來研制該設備而開展研究工作的。故選A。3.What do we know about the Aquaporo's machine from the passage A.It's like an air conditioner to generate water.B.It is being produced by the local government.C.It has been sent to all families free of charge.D.It hasn't been given to people across the country.解析:推理判斷題。根據倒數第二段“It's reported that ... the country in the coming year.(據報道,Aquaporo的空調大小的機器給約旦政府留下了深刻的印象,他們訂購了1,000臺,希望在明年免費分發給全國各地的家庭。)”可推知,約旦政府預訂了1,000臺機器,目前并沒有將機器分發到各個家庭。故選D。4.What is probably the best title of this text A.A Device Satisfies People's Usage of WaterB.Water is Available for Everyday Use in JordanC.New Startup Creates Water from the Desert AirD.Today's Technology Makes Life Even Better解析:標題判斷題。通讀全文,尤其是根據第一段“There are very few places ... can be a gamechanger.”可知,本文介紹了約旦的一家初創公司研發了一款高效的大氣水生成裝備,在干燥的環境中也能產生水,所以C項(初創公司從沙漠空氣中制造水)最適合作為本文的標題。故選C。BCan a small group of drones (無人機) guarantee the safety and reliability of railways and, at the same time, help railway operators save billions of euros each year That is the very likely future of applying today's “eyes in the sky” technology to making sure that the millions of kilometres of rail tracks and infrastructure (基礎設施) worldwide are safe for trains on a 24/7 basis.Drones are already being used to examine high tension electrical lines. They could do precisely the same thing to inspect railway lines and other vital aspects of rail infrastructure such as the correct position of railway tracks and switching points. The more regularly they can be inspected, the more railway safety, reliability and on time performance will be improved. Costs would be cut and operations would be more efficient (高效) across the board.That includes huge savings in maintenance costs and better protection of railway personnel safety. It is calculated that European railways alone spend approximately 20 billion euros a year on maintenance, including sending maintenance staff, often at night, to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure. That can be dangerous work that could be avoided with drones assisting the crews' efforts.By using the latest technologies, drones could also start providing higher value services for railways, detecting faults in the rail or switches, before they can cause any safety problems. To perform these tasks, drones for rail don't need to be flying overhead. Engineers are now working on a new concept: the rail drones of the future. They will be moving on the track ahead of the train, and programmed to run autonomously. Very small drones with advanced sensors and AI and travelling ahead of the train could guide it like a co pilot. With their ability to see ahead, they could signal any problem, so that fast moving trains would be able to react in time.篇章導讀:本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了無人機在鐵路交通中的應用。5.What makes the application of drones to rail lines possible A.The use of drones in checking on power lines.B.Drones' ability to work at high altitudes.C.The reduction of cost in designing drones.D.Drones' reliable performance in remote areas.解析:細節理解題。根據第二段前兩句“Drones are already being used ... switching points.(無人機已經被用于檢查高壓電線。它們完全可以做同樣的事情來檢查鐵路線路和鐵路基礎設施的其他重要方面,如鐵路軌道和換乘點的正確位置。)”可知,使用無人機檢查電力線路使無人機應用于鐵路線路成為可能。故選A。6.What does “maintenance” underlined in paragraph 3 refer to A.Personnel safety.B.Assistance from drones.C.Inspection and repair.D.Construction of infrastructure.解析:詞義猜測題。根據畫線詞后“It is calculated that ... to inspect and repair the rail infrastructure.”可知,僅歐洲鐵路公司每年在鐵路維護上的花費就約為200億歐元,其中包括經常在夜間派遣維修人員檢查和維修鐵路基礎設施,由此可知,maintenance是“維護,保養”的意思。故選C。7.What function is expected of the rail drones A.To provide early warning.B.To make trains run automatically.C.To earn profits for the crews.D.To accelerate transportation.解析:推理判斷題。根據最后一段中的“Very small drones ... to react in time.”可知,憑借無人機的預見能力,它們可以發出任何問題的信號,以便快速行駛的火車能及時做出反應。由此可推知,對無人機期待的功能是提供預警。故選A。8.Which is the most suitable title for the text A.What Faults Can Be Detected with DronesB.How Production of Drones Can Be ExpandedC.What Difficulty Drone Development Will FaceD.How Drones Will Change the Future of Railways解析:標題判斷題。本文介紹了無人機在鐵路交通中的應用,講述無人機將如何改變鐵路的未來,包括使鐵路變得更安全、更可靠、更省錢等。D項最適合作為本文的標題。故選D。Ⅱ 七選五How AI Protects UsWe should consider AI not as something competing with us, but as something that can strengthen our abilities. __1__.

Certainly, it has some advantages. Firstly, online education isn't limited by time and place. Students have access to their study materials whenever and wherever they like. Secondly, online education frees teachers from repeating the same teaching contents since the video can be played over and over again.However, online education also has some drawbacks. With online courses, students have to spend more time using computers, causing the loss of their eyesight. And online education will reduce the communication between students and teachers, which will lead to the lack of learning atmosphere.Personally, if traditional teaching and online education can be combined, more fruitful education is bound to be realized. 展開更多...... 收起↑ 資源列表 Section Ⅳ Assessing Your Progress & Video Time.docx Section Ⅳ Assessing Your Progress & Video Time.pptx 縮略圖、資源來源于二一教育資源庫
