    For many years scientists have said that the earth is getting warmer. Now they have found something new-hot cities! In the southern US, they have found that cities become very hot in summer. For example, the city of Atlanta in Georgia has roof(屋顶) temperature of up to 50oC while it is 27℃ in the streets! At night, the outside of buildings stays so hot that the heat of the city causes storms over the city!
    China also has the same kind of problems. Every year more farmland is used for factories or offices. More housing is needed, too. As people become richer, they buy more cars. New roads are needed and new car parks are built in the city centers. This all makes cities hotter.
    It isn't easy to change the situation. City planners say that we should plant more trees in the middle of cities. Every new street should have trees on both sides, they say. Trees make the temperature lower, so we should have more trees in our parks and squares. We should also paint our roofs white. If we do this, they do not become so hot. Every roof in a hot and sunny country should have solar(太阳的) roof panels. The electricity from these can be used to run the air conditioners (空调)in the buildings.
    People continue to cut down forests around the cities. This makes the problem worse. Cities are growing faster and faster. By the year 2025, four fifths(五分之四) of the population will be living in cities. If we go on like this, there will not be enough farmland to feed everyone in the world

(1)、The scientists have found        .

A、cities become very hot in summer B、Atlanta is the hottest city in America C、there are not as many storms as before D、it is not as hot on the roof as in the street
(2)、The way to make the city cooler is to       .

A、plant more trees B、try to use air conditioners more C、build more parks and squares D、paint the roofs of all the white buildings
(3)、What will probably happen in the future according to the fourth paragraph(段落)?

A、Cities won't grow very fast. B、We will not have enough food. C、Most people will move to the countryside. D、People will plant more trees outside the cities.
(4)、What is the best title(题目)for the passage?

A、More Farmland Is Needed B、Trees Make Cities Cooler C、Cities Are Getting Hotter D、Scientists Are Worried About Storms

 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn off the lights for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a "smart" city like this could happen sooner than you think. 

The towns that we have lived in for centuries have changed a lot, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. In every home there will be a "telepresence" system(远程遥控系统)—allowing users to control the heating(暖气)and locks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, healthcare and government services. Around the city, escalators(自动扶梯)will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system. 

The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business. 

About 75% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to solve the coming problems. "Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener." said Dan Hill, head of a research company.

 完形填空

Did you throw something away today? The answer for most people would be yes. But where does our 1  go?

It doesn't just sit in the rubbish bin. Every day, 2  come to take the rubbish from our rubbish bins. They put it into a big truck and 3  it to landfills(垃圾填埋场). At the landfill, people sort(分类) the rubbish. They recycle some, 4  some and bury(埋) the rest of it underground. The more rubbish gets recycled, the 5  the environment will be. It means 6  less rubbish ends up in landfills. 

So many Chinese cities encourage people to sort out their rubbish 7  throwing it away. Put the food in one bag. Put the plastic bottles in another. And throw them in the right rubbish bins. In this way, we can help 8  a lot of time, money and energy for all of the society. 

Many foreign 9  have good sorting systems. So they have higher recycling rates(比率). In Sweden, only 1 percent of household waste 10  in landfills every year. In Japan, people recycle nearly 50 percent of the rubbish. 

There is 11  a lot to do when it comes to rubbish sorting in China. People in the country make about 300 million tons of the rubbish every year. 12  they only recycle less than a quarter of it. The rest of it ends up in landfills. Most of it is unsorted. The good news is that many cities are 13  different ways to make things better. Beijing has started a new programme to 14  rubbish sorting. If people sort out their rubbish, they'll 15  points. They can exchange the points for shopping cards!
