Ⅰ. 阅读理解
A
  Every summer, my family and I visit our relatives in India and whenever we travel, my parents always remind me to drink only bottled or boiled water. On one of my trips to India, I saw children drinking water from the roadside. I was troubled to learn that millions of people, most of them children in developing countries, die each year because of water related diseases.
  Living in the US, I am lucky to be able to turn on the tap and get potable water(饮用水), while one sixth of the world’s population lacks access to clean water. This year, I entered the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge. In late June, I learned that I was selected as one of the top 10 national finalists of this famous middle school science competition. Over the summer, I worked with Dr. Jim Jonza, my Scientist mentor(导师)from
3M, and developed a system that uses solar energy to purify water. My invention is green and cost-effective, and I am looking forward to implementing this in places that are affected by harmful water pollution.
  In October, my family and I flew to 3M Headquarters in St Paul, Minnesota, where the final event was to be held. For the last challenge, each of us had to present the invention we had been working on over the summer. The first place winner would win $25, 000, a trip to Costa Rica, and the title of America’s Top Young Scientist. At the awards ceremony, all of us waited anxiously until one of the judges, Danny Forester, started announcing “The winner of the Discovery Education 3M Young Scientist Challenge is. . . ”You could hear a pin(大头针)drop as he opened the paper with the winner’s name, “Deepika Kurup!”
  As an America’s Top Young Scientist, I was given an opportunity to show my invention on national television and deliver several presentations. One of the most important things I have learned is that communication and teamwork are the key to success.
【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文, 讲述了作者通过一次去印度的经历, 发现人们缺乏清洁水,
就此得到启发, 回国后与Jim Jonza博士合作, 开发了一个利用太阳能的净水系统。
1. Why does the author mention her visits to India?
A. To express her great love for India.
B. To show the problem of unclean water.
C. To explain the importance of relatives.
D. To compare eastern and western cultures.
【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知, 每年有数百万人死于与水有关的疾病, 其中大多数是发展中国家的儿童。由此可以推断出, 作者提到自己去印度的经历是为了说明人们缺乏清洁水的问题, 故选B项。
sort out什么意思中文意思2. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “implementing” in Paragraph 2?
A. Researching.           B. Changing.
C. Finishing.                        D. Using.
【解析】选D。词义猜测题。根据My invention is green and cost-effective可知, 作者的发明很环保、划算, 因此作者期待将它应用到受有害的水污染影响的地区。故画线词implementing是“应用”的意思。
3. How did the audience react as Forester opened the paper with the winner’s name?
A. They appeared calm.
B. They let out shouts of joy.
