Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-bye to the old building. 【解析】本句主干部分是most of the 250 seats were filled with audience。句首的though引导让步状语从句，teary-eyed作定语修饰audience, wanting to say good-bye to the old building作后置定语修饰audience。【句意】虽然这部影片已经有30年之久，几乎250个座椅还是坐满了泪眼汪汪的观众，他们希望以此和这栋老建筑告别。2.

Similar devices in previous attempts worked only below 50 percent relative humidity (湿度). They can extract water from the air even at low relative humidity. However, they either collect water too slowly or require lots of energy. However, the new device, using a new special material, pulls water from air with as low as 20 percent relative humidity and successfully avoids both problems. Developed by MIT engineers from an existing material, the special material, called MOF-801, creates a network of very small pores (气孔) that can trap water vapor. At room temperature, water vapor collects in the pores. As temperatures rise, the water escapes into the box designed for water collection. When the device is left in the shade, the layer of MOF-801 collects water vapor from the air. When moved into direct sunlight, the layer heats up and the water vapor escapes into a box, which cools the vapor, making it into drinkable water. This entire process takes around two hours. Laboratory tests of the device harvested 2.8 liters of water per day. Therefore, the device could be used as a personal water source in dry regions, Yaghi says, or the technology could be used to produce enough water for a whole community. 1. According to Yaghi, the new device is invented to _. A. provide solar energy B. change the dry airC. make water from air D. measure air humidity2. What helps the device avoid the problems of previous attempts?A. A new material called MOF-801. B. Large pores which can trap water. C. The box cooling water vapor. D. The layer powered by the sun. 3. Which is the right order of how the device works?a. Collect vapor from the air. b. The device is left in the shade. c. The device is moved in the sunlight. d. Cool the vapor into drinkable water. A. abcd B. bacdC. cabd D. acbdBCity Transformer, a four-year-old company based outside Tel Aviv, Israel, is ready to shake up the auto industry with their invention.So what is it that theyve created? A car that actually folds while youre driving. Its a neat trick, sure. Perhaps something youd see in a superhero movie. But it actually serves a practical purpose.

Hit the button, and your car shrinks to fit into the space.The car, which is available for pre-order now, is a case study in clean design. It contains only 1，000 parts, compared to the industry standard of about 20，000 in a regular car. Its all electric, and doesnt run on gas, causing no pollution. Its autonomous-ready, which means that one day it will be able to drive itself.City Transformer is considering a company of foldable cars positioned all across the globe. People who own membership of the car rental company can rent one of the cars wherever they are. Whats more, when you get into any of the cars, it will instantly recognize you and adjust the seats, temperature and music to your favorite settings.Asaf Formoza, the companys founder, believes its at the right place, at the right time. “Its very important for us to be in Israel, because we have more than 400 companies here just for the automotive departments，” he explained. “And we can take some of their proven technologies and adopt them to our car.”“To bring something like that as a solution (解决方案) for cities when so many people around the world are stuck in traffic jams, this is going to be something that I think can really change the experience of drivers，” said project manager Itamar Meridor.4.

Uncertain. B. Hopeful. C. Concerned. D. Doubtful.二、阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Fathers Day was not established as a holiday in order to help greeting cards shops sell more cards.

The match was turned out to be tough, excited and friendly as well. Player from both classes were trying hard to win with their fellow students cheered them up at the top of their voices. It was really a close match. Our class had a narrowly victory by 5653 at last. I dont think we had better players in our team, and I do believe it was the team work we paid special attention to which helped us win. They deserved the victory! It doesnt matter which class won. What really count is the enjoyment the match itself brought us.四、写作练习假设你是李华,你校即将举办一场孔子思想讲座,主题是“见贤思齐焉,见不贤而内自省也”。请写一封邮件邀请对中国传统文化感兴趣的交换生Jim听讲座,内容包括:1.时间、地点;2.讲座主题;3.可能的收获。注意:1.词数100左右;2.可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。 模块四 参考答案校对Passage A1. C细节理解题。根据第一段第一句A new device the size of a coffee cup can make drinkable water from dry air using nothing but sunlight. 可知，这种新装置是用来从干燥的空气中制造出可饮用的水。2. A细节理解题。根据第四段中However, the new device. successfully avoids both problems. the special material, called MOF-801可知，能避免以前出现的问题是一种叫MOF-801的特殊材料。3. B细节理解题。根据第五段When the device is left in the shade, the layer of MOF-801 collects water vapor from the air. When moved into direct sunlight, the layer heats up and the water vapor escapes into a box, which cools the vapor. 可知这一装置的使用过程是：当设备被留在阴凉处时，MOF-801层会从空气中收集水蒸气。当被移入直射的阳光下，这层就会变热，水蒸气会逸散到一个盒子里，这样就可以冷却蒸汽，使之变成饮用水。所以B顺序正确。Passage B4. C细节理解题。根据第二段内容可知，这款汽车在行驶过程中以及在停车场都可以折叠，这样就会占用更少的空间。5. D细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句Whats more, when you. to your favorite settings.可知，当租车公司的会员驾驶汽车时，汽车会识别他们的身份，根据他们的喜好自动为他们调节座位、温度以及播放他们喜欢的音乐。6. C推理判断题。根据第五段末句可知，在以色列有很多汽车公司，City Transformer可以将其他公司已经验证过的科技应用到汽车。7. B推理判断题。根据文章末段内容可知， Itamar Meridor认为这款汽车适应现代社会的需求，未来应该是有希望的。Passage C1. were考查动词时态。结合前面when引导的时间状语从句可知，主句用一般过去时。且根据there be句型的原则，后面是cards复数，此空填were。2. to honor考查非谓语动词。动词不定式作后置定语修饰a special day。3. himself考查代词。此处表示“独自抚养刚出世的孩子和其他五个孩子”，by himself为固定用法。4. strength考查词形转换。结合空后的and selflessness可知，这里是用名词作realized的宾语。5. was observed考查动词时态语态及主谓一致。根据时间状语on June 19, 1910可知用一般过去时。主语The first Fathers Day和observe是动宾关系，用被动语态。6. towns考查名词复数。前面有various修饰可数名词town，所以应用复数。7. a考查冠词。此处指“一个全国性的父亲节”，用不定冠词a。8. Finally考查副词。作状语修饰整个句子，用副词。9. as考查介词。此处指“宣布六月的第三个星期天为父亲节”，as表示“作为”。10. but考查连词。句意：父亲节已经成为了一个不仅仅纪念父亲的节日，还包括所有扮演父亲角色的男人。此处是not only. but. “不仅而且”的固定搭配。Passage D第一句：在basketball前加a。表示“打篮球”一般用play basketball，但此处的中心词是match，为可数名词，意为“一场篮球比赛”，故用不定冠词a。第二句：去掉was。turn out意为“结果是；证明是”，不能用于被动语态。excited改为exciting。此处是说比赛令人很激动，故用exciting。excited “感到兴奋的”，主语一般为人。第三句：Player改为Players。结合语境可知此处应用复数形式，和后面的谓语were保持一致。cheered改为cheering。此处是with复合结构，cheer和fellow students之间构成逻辑上的主谓关系，故应用cheering。第五句：narrowly改为narrow。a narrow victory “险胜”。修饰名词应用形容词。第六句：and改为but。前后句逻辑上构成转折关系，故用but。which改为that。此处是强调句型，应用that，“the team work we paid special attention to”是被强调部分。第七句：They改为We。结合语境可知此处应用We和上文呼应。第九句：count改为counts。由语境可知，时态为一般现在时。what引导主语从句并在从句中作主语，且表语亦为单数概念，故从句的谓语动词count应用第三人称单数。Passage EGood news for you!
