Amazing water technologies
An Israeli (以色列的) water technology company makes machines that create drinking water from air. The machine takes in humid air and cools it, turning the water vapour (水蒸气) into liquid. The water is then cleaned until it is safe to drink. These machines run on electricity and can be used anywhere to provide clean water — without needing rivers or other water

sources. Small units for homes or offices can make up to 30 litres of water each day, while larger machines can produce up to 6,000 litres.
There are other smart ideas for getting clean water. Back in the 1990s, Dr David Manz from Canada made a bio-sand filter (过滤器) for family use — a container filled with layers of sand and gravel (石子). It uses good microbes (微生物) to fight and destroy bad ones, removes heavy metals and other harmful things, and also makes the water taste better. Now, the method is used in many places, especially in Africa, Asia and Latin America, where there is not enough water. People can build such filters at home by following step-by-step guides online.
Another popular water filter is a special straw (吸管) made by a Swiss company. It can remove 99.9% of bacteria (细菌) from water. It was originally made for places with water problems, but is now used by many for camping. You can take it anywhere you go, and it’s easy to use — just fill a bottle with any water you can find, put the straw in, drink, and stay safe!
Clean water is really important for staying healthy. Thanks to these cool ideas, more and more people in the driest parts of the world are getting clean water to drink.

解析
【分析】
本题为英语阅读综合题，需先定位原文中三种净水技术的适用场景、功能特点，再匹配对应题干；3-2需逐句核对题干与原文细节，判断正误；3-3为开放表达，结合自身喜好阐述理由即可。
【解析】
3-1：
(1) 题干要求家庭自制净水设备，对应原文中“Dr David Manz made a bio-sand filter for family use... People can build such filters at home”，故选B。
(2) 题干要求旅行者用的便携净水设备，对应原文中“a special water-filtering straw... used by camping... easy to take anywhere”，故选C。
(3) 题干要求50人公司的设备，对应原文中“Small air-to-water units for offices can make up to 30 litres of water each day”，故选A。
3-2：
(1) 原文明确提到以色列机器“takes in humid air and cools it, turning the water vapour into liquid”，与题干一致，故T。
(2) 原文说该机器“without needing rivers or other water sources”，题干称需河流/水管，不符，故F。
(3) 原文提到bio-sand filter“fight and destroy bad microbes... also makes the water taste better”，与题干一致，故T。
(4) 原文说bio-sand filter“especially in Africa, Asia and Latin America”，题干称美洲加拿大，不符，故F。
(5) 原文提到吸管“remove 99.9% of bacteria”，即几乎所有细菌，与题干一致，故T。
3-3：
