Or could we create a physical store where customers could simply take what they want and go? Our answer to those questions is Amazon Go, where you could experience the idea of “just walk out shopping”Amazon Go is a new kind of store with no checkout required. We created the worlds most advanced shopping technology, so you never have to wait in line. With our “just walk out shopping” experience, simply use the Amazon Go app to enter the store, take the products you want, and go! No lines, no checkout.Our checkoutfree shopping experience is made possible by the same types of technologies used in selfdriving cars: puter vision, sensor fusion, and deep learning. Our “just walk out technology” automatically detects when products are taken from or returned to the shelves and keeps track of them in your virtual cart. When youre done shopping, you can just leave the store. Shortly after, well charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt. We offer delicious readytoeat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack options made fresh every day by our onsite chefs and favorite local kitchens and bakeries. Our selection of foodstuff ranges from bread and milk to cheeses and locally made chocolates. Youll find wellknown brands we love, plus special finds were excited to introduce to customers. For a quick homecooked dinner, pick up one of our chefdesigned Amazon Meal Kits, and you can make a meal for two in about 30 minutes. Our roughly 1,800squarefoot shopping space is conveniently pact(紧凑的), so busy customers can get in and out fast. It is located at 2131, 7th Ave, Seattle, WA, on the corner of 7th Avenue and Blanchard Street. All you need is an Amazon account, a supported smartphone, and the free Amazon Go app. Amazon Go is currently only open to Amazon employees in our testing program, and will be open to the public soon.【文章大意】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了有关Amazon Go便利店的一些信息。【难句分析】Or could we create a physical store where customers could simply take what they want and go? 分析：该句为主从复合句。句中“where customers could simply take what they want and go”为where引导的地点状语从句，修饰先行词store；其中take后接what引导的宾语从句what they want and go。 译文：或者我们能不能创建一家实体店，在那里顾客只要拿走他们想要的东西然后离开？1From the passage, we can learn that Amazon Go _.Ais a checkoutfree

learning.”可知，Amazon Go使用的技术类似于无人驾驶汽车的技术，故D项错误。2What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 3?AWhen Amazon Go charges.BHow Amazon Go works.CWhere Amazon Go lies.DWhat Amazon Go sells.答案与解析：B考查段落大意。通读第三段可知，该段主要介绍了无人收银的技术原理，即类似于无人驾驶汽车的技术；还介绍了顾客付款的技术原理。据此可知，该段主要介绍Amazon Go便利店的运作原理，故B项正确。3Customers pay for the products from Amazon Go by _.Apaying cash at the counterBwalking out

resource is increasingly short，nations cannot afford to waste it._1_After we use water in our homes and businesses，it is washed away，and takes many valuable resources with it.Waste water is rich in carbon and nutrients._2_ A number of nations and major cities have already built waste water treatment plants.They can effectively recover nutrients and bioenergy，and produce “new water” that can be reused.But more than 80% of all waste water still currently flows into natural ecosystems，polluting the environment and taking valuable nutrients and other recoverable materials with it._3_ This is still better than the situation in smaller cities.In Latin American countries，those living in small and mediumsized cities at most treat it in the form of septic tanks (化粪池)that lack regular and proper maintenance.Imagine that outside one of these small cities lies a lovely piece of land：on the surface it is pleasingly built and provides habitats for local wildlife.Beneath the surface is a wetland that treats waste water and produces energy.The energy produced saves families from having to use firewood collected in the wild.This is not a dream project._4_ A team of scientists have been looking into the potential of constructed wetland environments.Having analyzed 800 examples of biomass in more than 20 countries，they found that，depending on climate and the type of plant used in the construction of this type of wetland，up to 45 hectares of land could be irrigated with waste water._5_ABut that is exactly what we do.BThis can provide easy access to clean water.CThere is no longer any good reason to waste any type of water.DA constructed wetland environment is already in practice on a small scale.EThis would reduce the need for fresh water for irrigation and energy for pumping.FIf collected and treated properly，it could provide “new water”，fertilizer，and energy.GAlthough waste water systems in large cities are effective，the whole procedure usually costs much.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了当前世界水资源的现状以及有效利用水资源的方法。1A上文说在水资源短缺的大环境下，很多国家不能承担浪费(的后果)，下文说我们用完水后，就直接把水冲走。根据上下文可知，A项“但是那正是我们所做的”与此处匹配，起承上启下作用，故选A。2F上文说废水富含碳元素和养分，而F项说如果收集和处理得当，它就能提供“新的水”、肥料和能量，前后形成语义上的衔接，故选F。3G下文讲述的是拉丁美洲的中小城市的废水处理系统缺乏常规和合适的维护，而G项提到大城市的废水处理系统有效但成本高，与本段内容吻合，故选G。4D上文提到在这些小城市建造湿地环境的设想，下文提到已经有科学家在研究建造的湿地环境的潜力了，由此可知，D项“建造的湿地环境已经在小范围的实践中了”符合语境。5E上文讲述的是这种解决方案的另一种好处是人们可以用废水灌溉农田，而E说这可以减少用淡水灌溉的需求及抽水所需的能量，前后语义衔接，故选E。三、短文改错假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号()，并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线()划掉。修改：在错的词下画一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；2只允许修改10处，多者(从第11处起)不计分。(2018淄博市高三模拟考试)My
