①What does the city of the future look like? Flying cars? Robots? Or smog（烟雾）-eating buildings?

②Arconic, an American company, has made plans to build a 4.8-kilometer-high skyscraper（摩天大楼）. It says that the super tall building can clean not only itself but also the air around it by “eating” smog and pollutants（污染物）. But how is it done?

③Sherri McCleary, s scientist at Arconic, says they have introduced a new technology called EcoClean. It is a special coating that pulls pollutants out of the air. With a little help from sunlight and water vapour（水蒸气），the coating will produce atoms（原子能）called free radicals（自由基）. It is these free radicals that will take in air pollutants, break them down, and then leave the air cleaner.

④But “eating” smog and pollutants is not the only thing this skyscraper is able to do. In fact, thanks to 3D printing, the materials the building used will become even better and stronger—not only making the skyscraper look more modern, but also make it possible to stand strong winds and terrible weather.

⑤However, some people don't think it will work out well. Air pollution has its own character and it harms lots of cities. Does the smog-eating building have such a magical ability to stop the pollution? It seems impossible to bring the pollution under control in a short time. We should prepare ourselves for a hard fight against the pollution.

⑥Sounds impossible? Anyway, Arconic believes a skyscraper of this kind will be built by 2062.

（1）、EcoClean works by___________.

A、standing terrible weather B、bowling out air pollutants C、breaking down free radicals D、pulling pollutants out of the air

（2）、The fourth paragraph is mainly about_________.

A、what Arconic is B、how EcoClean works C、what else this skyscraper can do D、why scientist want to build this skyscraper

（3）、Arconic's attitude（态度）towards the skyscraper can best be described as __________.

A、hopeful B、regretful C、thankful D、unbelievable

（4）、The writer's purpose of writing this article is to______________.

A、bring people some pleasure B、introduce a wonderful technology C、show how to build the tall building D、tell us the importance of protecting the environment

Zhalong is a nature reserve in Heilongjiang in north-east China. It is one of the world's most important wetlands. The reserve covers an area of 210,000 hectares. The area provides food and shelter for wildlife. It is an ideal home for different kinds of plants, fish and birds.
Many birds live comfortably in Zhalong Nature Reserve all year round, while some only stay there for a short time. There are many fish in the wetlands, and the birds can easily catch them for food. Zhalong has long been called “the home of the crane”. There are 15 crane species (物种) in the world. 8 of them are in China and there are 6 species in Zhalong area. It is an important living area for the rare red-crowned cranes. There are not many red-crowned cranes in the world. Every spring and summer, red-crowned cranes lay and hatch (孵化) their eggs in Zhalong.
Some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife. More and more birds are in danger because they do not have enough living space. Many of them died. The Chinese government wants to protect these endangered birds, and they can be safe in Zhalong.
Every year, a lot of tourists go to Zhalong to watch birds. This year, members of our Bird-watching Club are going to study the different kinds of birds in Zhalong and the changes in their numbers. The study begins next month.
We _______ once a year. We are now inviting secondary school students to help. We need more people to help us count and do something to help the birds.
Many people do not understand the importance of the wetlands. We hope this information will help them understand and make them actively take action to protect wildlife.

    Do you kow that animals have love for each other and their children just like us humans? Let me tell you some moving stories of great animal parents.
    Several years ago a heavy rain hit a town and made the river go up. When the rain stopped, people found that a dog swam to an island in the river twice a day for two weeks. Why did she do so? Her four children were there. The mother swam there every day to feed her babies. This true story moved many people.
    Another story is about chimpanzees(猩猩). A scientist named Jane Goodall spent 4 years living with chimpanzees in Africa. She found that chimpanzees also cared for those that were hurt or got lost. “It is not only humans who have duties, animals also do,” she said.
    Two birds in Chengdu also showed their parental(父母的) love. Their baby was hurt and fell on the street in the center of the city. Cars were driving past but the brave parents rushed down to the road and took the little bird away with their claws(爪子).

    Earthquakes can be very scary（吓人的）. But you need to keep your mind stable (坚定的) in order to make sure you are safe. Be calm and try not to run here and there.
    If you manage to come out of your house, go to an open space like a garden or a park where you will be a lot safer. If you live quite some floors above in your building, try to find a place near a bulky(坚固的) object such as a bed. Curl up (蜷缩) and sit on the floor and make sure you are not near a window, fireplace, gas stove and so on. Remember don't use lifts or escalators.
    Some people say you should stand on a doorway. That is not true. If the doorway jambs (侧壁) are weak, they might fall on you. Also if people want to pass through that door, you may stop them. Leave all doorways free.
    Another important thing to keep in mind is that you mustn't climb down the stairs during an Earthquake. If the tremors (震动) stop, after a few seconds, just climb down the stairs as quickly as you can and move out of the building, but don't run.
    Earthquakes usually destroy gas pipes and electrical wires. Turn off the main gas. And don't light candles or lighters and create an even bigger disaster.
    If you're driving and feel a shake, stop your car at the side of the road and get out. Make sure you are not on a bridge. Bridges and overhead roads (高架路) have the biggest danger of falling.

Plants are very important living things. Life could not go on if there were no plants. This is because plants can make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals and men can't make food from air, water and sunlight. Animals get their food by eating plants and other animals. Therefore, animals and men need plants in order to live. This is the reason why we find so many plants around us.

If you look carefully at the plants around you, you will find that there are many kinds of plants. Some plants are large while others are small. Most plants are green.

Some plants have many small leaves. Others have only a few. There are many kinds of leaves. Leaves are of different shapes and colors.

Leaves are also different in other ways. Some leaves have long thin parts at the end, we call them leaf stalks, some have short leaf stalks, others even have no leaf stalks. The leaf edges are also different. Some leaves have smooth(平滑) edges. Some have a wave-shaped edges. Others have edges like the teeth of a saw(锯子).

Babies born after 2017 may never need to take a driving lesson because of the development of self driving cars. Some scientists say that self driving or driverless cars(无人驾驶汽车)may hit the roads within 15 years, and it is possible that driving may become unnecessary, or more relaxing and enjoyable.

Companies like Google, Baidu, Apple and Alibaba are working on driverless cars. But, if the tests are successful, these electric self driving cars could be put into use very soon. This kind of cars may change the way we live in the future. All you have to do is to type in the address!

According to Baidu, driverless technology has the following four advantages. Firstly, driverless cars are actually safer. With driverless cars, the number of deaths caused by accidents will decrease. Secondly, driverless cars are more efficient(效率高的) than manned cars. Thirdly, driverless cars follow the traffic rules. Therefore traffic control will be easier to achieve. At last, the cost of transportation will be reduced as the labor cost becomes less.

There are many different technologies needed to make a successful self driving car. The most difficult technologies of all are environmental perception(感知), behavior prediction, planning control, HD mapping, and exact GPS.

阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

In most parts of the world, many students help their schools make less pollution. They join "environment clubs". In an environment club, people work together to make our environment clean.

●No-garbage lunches. How much do you throw away after lunch? Environment clubs ask students to bring their lunches in bags that can be used again. Every week they will choose the classes that make the least garbage and report them to the whole school!

●No-car day. On the no-car day, nobody comes to school by car—not the students or not the teachers! Cars give pollution to the air, so remember:

Walk, jump, bike or run.

Use your legs! It's lots of fun!

●Turn off the water! Did you know that some toilets can waste twenty to forty liters (升) of water an hour? In a year that would fill a small river! In environment clubs, students mend those broken toilets.

We love our environment. Let's work together to make it clean.
