阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

The Arctic has long fascinated people across the world, so it’s no wonder that stories from this region have inspired movies and TV shows. Its frozen landscapes make the perfect setting for stories of survival, showcasing how both people and animals adapt to the ice and cold. Here are four of our favorite Arctic shows and movies.
Nanook of the North (1922)
This silent film from 1922 is a classic story of man versus (与…对抗) nature. It tells the story of an Inuit hunter named Nanook “The Bear” and his family as they struggle to survive in the harsh environment. Nanook of the North is one of the earliest documentaries — although some of the scenes were staged. Viewers are invited to witness how the Inuit people live. Audiences also see how the Inuit construct igloos one block at a time into icy, domed structures.
Balto (1995)
Based on a true story, this animated (动画的)movie takes place when a deadly disease strikes the small town of Nome, Alaska, in 1925. A half-wolf dog named Balto must lead a sled-dog team across the snowy expanse (宽阔区域)to deliver life-saving medicine to the town’s citizens hundreds of kilometers away. Balto is not only an inspiring true story but an important look at the difficulties of Arctic travel and the brave people — and animals — that are relied on to save the day when people need them most.

Arctic Tale (2007)
Arctic Tale is a US documentary film about the life of a polar bear and her cubs as well as a walrus and her calves. Footage (素材)used for the film was shot over a 15-year period. The documentary gives an inside look at how these.two Arctic animals grow from babies into adulthood as they learn how to hunt and survive in dangerous conditions. Throughout the film, the narrator reminds viewers that climate change is melting the Arctic ice and threatening the animals living there.
Ice Road Truckers (2007—2017)
This US reality TV series features truck drivers who must cross frozen lakes and rivers in remote Arctic land. They risk their lives to deliver much-needed supplies to small towns, diamond mines and offshore oil rigs (钻塔). The series highlights the dangers of working in the Arctic and subarctic (亚北极的), as well as the bravery it takes to battle the icy storms and freezing temperatures.

Traveling alone can be daunting (令人畏缩的). I have traveled by myself many times but, on every occasion, there was someone to meet me at the other end of the bus, train or plane journey. This time was different.
Last week I had a holiday, from work, but none of my friends had the same week off. I decided that I still wanted to do something, so I booked a train ride to Toronto and reserved (预订)a bed in a hostel for one week.
One week by myself. Would I be lonely? Would I be bored? Quite the opposite. In fact, there are many benefits that come from traveling alone. Firstly, I was able to do whatever I wanted. I spent hours in museums that would have seemed boring and dull to some of my friends. I walked all around the city, which' some people may have found too exhausting (令人疲惫的). Instead of relying on someone else to remember directions or to suggest activities to do, I discovered my' independence and developed map-reading skills that I didn’t know I had. I could get up and go to sleep when I wanted and I didn’t have to wait for anyone else to shower and get ready every morning. Being in the safe environment of a hostel with like-minded travelers also gives a great opportunity to meet new people from all over the world, which can help combat loneliness.
In spite of the benefits, I found that there were also some disadvantages of traveling alone. I missed having someone to talk to and to bounce (探讨)ideas off. Experiences are often more enjoyable if they are shared, and part of the fun of traveling is the memories you have afterwards. Without a travel partner, I won’t be able to laugh about and remember my Toronto adventure with a friend or family member in years to come.
In addition, eating in a restaurant or cooking in the hostel was less fun on my own.
I am very proud of myself for traveling alone, and I had a fantastic time in Toronto. However, in the future, I think I will always prefer to travel with another person or in a small group. Though, maybe it depends on who you travel with I would rather be by myself than with someone who is lazy, difficult and argumentative (好争论的).
41. What happened to the author last week?
A. She traveled alone to Toronto during a work vacation.
B. She felt lonely away from home and missed her family.
C. She found someone meeting her during a trip to Toronto.
D. She made a trip as her friend during the same week to Toronto.
42. We can learn from the article that the author .
A. finds it boring and dull to visit museums
B. has already acquired great map-reading skills
C. believes she could benefit by traveling alone more
D. enjoys sharing traveling stories with family and friends
43. What does the underlined word “combat” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. She is proud of cooking in a hostel.
B. She will find it fun to travel with anyone.
C. She favors travelling with good company.
D. Argumentative travelers1 will be ideal choices.

Israeli company Watergen has produced an appliance that can generate (生产)clean, drinkable water out of air. The device, called GENNY, is small enough to be used in a home or office but can generate up to 30 liters of water a day.
GENNY takes air in and passes it through a filter (过滤器)to remove dust and dirt. The filter is powerful enough to work even in areas with high air pollution. The air is directed through GENius, a heating and cooling process which causes water in the air to condense (凝结). This water is then passed through several more filters and minerals are added to improve the flavor of the water. Finally, the water is stored in a tank where it: is continually circulated to keep it fresh. Therefore, the water produced by GENNY is often of a higher quality than water running through filtration systems attached to the city’s water lines.
The technology of GENius is much better than other technologies that generate water from air. It produces four to five times more water per kilowatt-hour. Watergen has other products that use this same technology on a larger scale, the largest of which can produce up to 5,000 liters of water per day.
As an added bonus, during the water generation process; GENNY can emit clean air which is healthier for people to breathe.
At the 2020 Smart home mark of Excellence Awards at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, GENNY was named the Energy Efficient Product of the Year. The award series recognize the world’s top high-tech home products.
As a company, Watergen focuses on dealing with the global water shortage. Last year, Watergen’s large-scale products were donated to authorities in Brazil, Vietnam and India. They also assisted rescue and recovery efforts during the 2018 California wildfires and provided clean, safe water for the residents of Texas and Florida in the aftermath of the devast
