解析【小題1】 詞義和固定搭配�！皊upply”提供“get”得到 又因為be +adj+to do sth 所以此處應(yīng)是be hard to do。。。做某事很困難。句意：在一些地方，水很難得到 故選C。
【小題2】 what作主語，謂語使用單數(shù)形式。此處應(yīng)用三單形式。整篇文章為現(xiàn)在時，happen為不及物動詞，無被動。句意：當一個小鎮(zhèn)有這些問題時會發(fā)生什么？ 故選A。
【小題3】 詞義與詞性辨析。A關(guān)鍵B回答，答案C回答D方式，上一句是一個問題what happens? 句意：一個加利福尼亞的小鎮(zhèn)發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個令人愉快的答案。 Answer即可做動詞，又可作名詞。 故此處選B
【小題4】 考察副詞辨析和名詞的單復(fù)數(shù)。A不多B少許C很少，幾乎沒有D少許，少數(shù) AB均修飾不可數(shù)名詞 CD修飾可數(shù)名詞 “rain”雨，為不可數(shù)名詞。 句意：那里下雨不多。 故選A
【小題5】 考察關(guān)于代詞的使用。 A它自己 B自己的C它D它是 句意：這個小鎮(zhèn)沒有自己的水源。故選B
【小題6】 動詞詞義辨析。A去拿來B拿去C把…拿進來；帶進來；收獲（莊稼等）；賺（錢）D引導(dǎo) 句意：它使用的水是從30英里外的河里來的。 C在此處可引申為“水流過來” 故選C
【小題7】 時態(tài)和詞組辨析。句意：隨著越來越多的人住在這個城鎮(zhèn)里。 應(yīng)用過去時態(tài)。 come to live in 過來居住 come for live in 為了居住而來， 表示一種目的，但文中并沒有出現(xiàn)關(guān)于“目的”來居住，故選B
【小題8】 形容詞和上下文辨析。 Water水，為不可數(shù)名詞。 前文提到“越來越多的人居住在這個城鎮(zhèn)”所以此處句意應(yīng)是：更多的水被需要。 故選C
【小題9】 短語辨析。 AB have to do 不得不做某事 C must to do 必須做某事 need to do 需要做某事 Now表示現(xiàn)在時，故排除B 根據(jù)上下文句意：現(xiàn)在，水不得不從600英里以外取來。 故選A
【小題10】 形容詞辨析。 A,B,C,D均為許多，大量，不少 但water為不可數(shù)名詞，而ABC均修飾可數(shù)名詞。故選D

【小題14】 考察合成詞。句意：5個人工湖被開鑿。 “湖”是被“人”開鑿的，所以make應(yīng)用被動語態(tài)。故選C
【小題15】 固定搭配。 go+doing 去。。。 go on+to do 繼續(xù)做某事 go to..去某地 句意：人們到這里來釣魚，劃船。故選A
【小題16】 詞義和上下文辨析。A必須B可以C需要D不得不 根據(jù)上下文：他們可以在新的公園里野餐。故選B
【小題17】 介詞詞義辨析。A當做B和C給，為了D表引出對象 句意：農(nóng)民有更多的水給他們的谷物。 For表示把。。。給。。。，故選C
【小題18】 考察名詞短語的搭配和詞義。 結(jié)構(gòu)：enough+名詞 句意：因為有足夠多的水。故選B
【小題19】 短語辨析。A throw off 擺脫 B throw of擲，拋出C throw away 丟棄，浪費 D throw out of 轟走，逐出 句意：水被使用，被浪費。故選C

【考點】本文主要涉及重點實詞辨析考察，數(shù)詞考察，介詞辨析，第三人稱單數(shù)，形容詞辨析和副詞辨析等，當然，關(guān)鍵是上下文的內(nèi)在邏輯關(guān)系。
【點評】
文章主要講了加利福尼亞的一個小鎮(zhèn)缺水，為了生存，他們把污水凈化后使用，這使得這個小鎮(zhèn)迅速發(fā)展。
本文是一篇說明文，難度不大。本文更加注重上下文之間的邏輯關(guān)系，通過提出問題，解決問題的寫作方法進行闡述，更加關(guān)注了句與句之間的前后聯(lián)系。這就要求同學(xué)們在做說明性文體的完型時更應(yīng)耐心，細心地去理清段與段，句與句之間的關(guān)系。在通讀的基礎(chǔ)上，標出文章的標志詞，然后去認真辨析動詞，名詞等實詞的具體意思，同時，對句子結(jié)構(gòu)，常見數(shù)次表達做到細致，并不斷加強積累。

C
A gadget which makes water out of air could become the greatest househo1d invention since the microwave.
Using the same technology as a dehumidifier（除濕器），the Water Mill is able to create a ready supply of drinking water because it can always get it from an unlimited source—the air．
The company behind the machine says not only does it offer an alternative to bottled water in
developed countries, but it is a solution for the millions who face a daily water shortage．
The machine works by drawing in wet air through a filter（過濾器）and over a cooling instrument which changes it into water droplets．It can produce up to 1 2 liters a day．The Water Mill will also produce more water when storms pass over, as the amount of water which is contained in the air increases. 
In keeping with its eco-development, the machine uses the same amount of electricity as three lights.
Inventor Jonathan Ritchey said: “The demand for water is off the chart. So people are looking for freedom from water distribution systems that are shaky and unreliable.”
The machine, which is about 3 feet wide, is likely to cost ￡800 when it goes on sale here in the spring. Its make
r, Canadian Firm Element Four, roughly calculates that a litre of water cost around 20p to produce.
Environmentalists state that half the world’s population will face water shortage because of climate change by 2080. One in five is said to lack access to safe drinking.
The Water Mill is not effective in areas where the amount of water contained in the air is below about 30 percent, but in Britain that won’t be much of a problem.
63．What does the underlined word “it” refer do?
A．Drinking water. B．Invention. C．Microwave. D．Water Mill.
64．What do we learn about the machine?
A．It works in the same way as microwaves.
B．It is very expensive for families to afford.
C．It absorbs steam and turns it into water.
D．It helps to make the water clean to drink.
