Abel Cruz is an industrial engineer living in Lima, the capital f Peru, which is lcated in the central castal part f the cuntry, verlking the Pacific Ocean. When Abel Cruz was a by,his weekly rutine was t climb dwn a valley in the fthills f the Peruvian Andes t get the family's water frm a spring.
“It was dwnhill frm the huse, far away and steep,”he says.
The Peruvian Andes are under the weather influences cming bth frm the Pacific Ocean and frm the jungle and traditinally there is a "dry" and "rainy" seasn. Recent climatic changes have made the dry seasns even drier and lnger.
Cruz began dreaming up better ways t cllect water. He nticed that sme plants, fr example,capture（捕获）rain and mist with their wide leaves. Eventually,he struck upn the idea f a fg net, a cncept that he wuld g n t share arund the wrld.
Each vertical（垂直的）net is 215 square feet f man-made resin（树脂）．Micr-drplets（滴液）f water gather tgether and then fall dwn int cllectin tanks. One net can cllect 50 t 100 gallns per day. Lcals can carry back the water in small cntainers like buckets fr their small farms.
Wrking in Lima, Peru, with supprt frm the Creating Water Fundatin, Cruz has installed（安装）mre than 3,600 nets n the bare hillsides arund the city t capture fg cming frm the Pacific Ocean. This shuld help bring relief t the city f mre than 9 millin,which tends t have little rainfall and suffers frm frequent lack f water.＂The planet has less and less fresh water," Cruz pints ut, because "the glaciers（冰川）that are natural water cllectin tanks are disappearing. S, we must find a way t stre and save water fr times f drught."
24.Which f the fllwing can best describe Abel Cruz's wrk f getting water frm a spring?

C.The net is vertically installed n the hillsides.
D.Lcals must carry water in small cntainers.
27.What causes Cruz t invent his way?
A.His cncerns ver wrld's lack f water.
B.His engineering experience.
C.Supprt frm Creating Water Fundatin.
D.His gegraphic knwledge n his hme cuntry.

A vlcan is an pening in the Earth's surface. Thrugh that pening, red-ht rck and ht gases escape. This can be a sudden and thunderus puff f ash and gas, r it can be a cntinuus flw f lava（岩浆）destrying everything in its path. The danger f a vlcan may explain why its imprtance are ften ignred.

Vlcanes als prduce gethermal energy, which makes up significant shares f electricity supply in a grwing number f cuntries, including EI Salvadr, Kenya and New Zealand.The mst cmmn type f vlcanic rck,basalt（玄武岩），is capable f permanently trapping（卡住）carbn dixide. This will make vlcanes an imprtant player in the game f catching and string carbn. Lng viewed as a fearsme enemy f humankind, vlcanes may yet becme a savir.

B.The prcedure f a vlcanic eruptin.
C.The cntributin f vlcanes t rich sil.
D.The influence f bidiversity n vlcanes.
31.What des the underlined this in the last paragraph mean?

If yu were a designer but didn't understand hw 3D bjects culd be presented in 2D, yu might lk at smene else's sheet and get the wrk dne. But what abut the next time? And the next time?
If we dn't d smething prperly - it culd be wrse than nt ding it at all. But if we fcus n the learning prcess, we culd be faster and better fr any future prblems.

A vlcan is an pening in the Earth's surface. Thrugh that pening, red-ht rck and ht gases escape.
