There has been a dramatic increase in the number of natural disasters over the past few years, and it is assumed that global warming and climate change could cause even more disasters in the future. Some of the world’s leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat waves.

London

Londons flood defences are getting older. Since 1982, the Thames Barrier(水闸)has protected the city from the threat of flooding, but it was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three years. About 26 years later the barrier now closes five or six times a year and according to Environment Agency predictions, by 2050 the barrier will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not addressed.

There are 26 underground stations, 400 schools, 16 hospitals, an airport and 80 billion worth of property in London’s flood risk area, so large scale flooding would be disastrous.

Paris

Over a six week period in July and August 2003, more than 1 1,400mainly elderly peopledied in France from dehydration(脱水)and extremely high body temperature in a deadly heat wave. Heat waves of similar intensity(强度)are expected every seven years by 2050, so what can be done to make sure such a disaster does not happen again?

One solution is to have air-conditioners installed in elderly care homes. But this is considered a short-term solution, as the increase in demand for electricity also increases carbon emissions(排放).

In Paris the local authorities are encouraging architects to design new types of buildings such as the building “Flower Tower,” which uses a covering of bamboo to act as a natural air-conditioner.

Shanghai

Shanghai is the fastest growing city on Earth. It has a population of 18 million and is only 4 meters above sea level. Sea levels are predicted to rise by 20 cm within the next century.

An estimated 250000 people move to Shanghai every year in search of work, placing extra demands on energy consumption. China relies heavily on coalfired power stations, but these emissions increase temperatures and, in turn, warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons.

【1】What problem should be settled now in London?

AHow to protect the citys property

BWhere to build its flood defences

CHow to use the Thames Barrier to protect the city

DHow to improve the function of the old flood defences

【2】Which of the following measures can’t solve the heat wave disaster in Paris?

APutting up new types of buildings with a covering of bamboo

BHaving air-conditioners installed in elderly care homes

CForbidding the city to buildFlower Tower”

DEncouraging architects to design new types of buildings

【3】The major threats to Shanghai are

Aincreasing population and coal-fired power stations

Brising sea levels and typhoons

Cextremely high temperature and rising sea levels

Dextra demands on energy consumption and typhoons

【4】The purpose of the passage is

Ato tell us how to protect the big cities

Bto give advice on how to defend natural disasters

Cto explain what causes flood and heat waves

Dto warn us of the increasing natural disasters in big cities

【5】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

ABig Cities Facing Big Disasters

BBig Disasters in the Future

CThe Increase of Natural Disasters

DSolutions to Natural Disasters

【题目】The German company said 5,000 of the "Futurecraft 4D" shoes will be available at retail stores in the fall arid winter.As it is pressed for time,it still plans to start mass producing them next year and expects to have made more than 100,000 pairs by the end of 2018.The company would not disclose where the shoes will be manufactured.

Adidas cooperated with Silicon Valley-based start up Carbon to create the shoe,which uses a new technology called digital light synthesis(合成).

Although the common 3D printed materials are often rigid(僵硬的),the new materials are flexible with Silicon Valley-based start up Carbon's technology.

The technology works by using UV lasers to project a pattern for a midsole(鞋底夹层)liquid.It tums the liquid into a solid and the result is a flexible,but more durable midsole.

The technology could make the most of the time and money to produce the shoes in large quantities which may be loved by humans in the future.

"We can produce up to 100 times faster than 3D printing and additive manufacturing processes,"an Adidas spokesperson told CNNTech.

【题目】Humans have daydreamed for thousands of years, and yet, these days, spare moments are filled with using our smartphones and other devices—going through social media, listening to podcasts, responding to emails—leaving us little time to let our minds wander.

1 When you’re in a daydreaming state of mind, you can imagine or pretend your own version of events.

My most creative moments come when my brain is allowed to rest says Megan King, a designer. But she is addicted to her smart phone. 2 According to Nielsen, Americans spend 10.5 hours a day consuming media. And UK residents are close behind at almost 10 hours a day, according to eMarketer.

3 This may seem a small change, but its effect, on the way our minds work and on our collective creativity could be serious. 4

Over years of studies, researchers have found that our brain has two separate attention systems — an external one and an internal one. The internal attention system, which is activated(激活)during daydreaming, is called the default network(默认网络).

The default network is particularly active when we are thinking about ourselves, thinking about the past, thinking about the future. 5

If both systems can’t be active at the same time and we’re spending 10 hours a day in one attention system, it begs the question: what is that doing to our brains — and our ability to come up with creative ideas?

A. Daydreaming is the opposite of our dreams.

B. This extended screen time has made some of us uncomfortable sitting alone with our own thoughts.

C. Daydreaming is how we access our big-picture state of mind.

D. In fact, it could be preventing your ability to come up with fresh, creative ideas.

E. We can’t really have both attention systems active at the same time.

F. People spend too much time on screen suffer from headaches.

G. She's not alone.

【题目】In the early 1980s, one of our neighbors asked my mom if she would make a few gift baskets for her to give as gifts for the holidays. My mom agreed and news of the unique gift baskets my mom was making spread like wildfire throughout the neighborhood. My mom was busy throughout the holiday season, so she asked a friend to help her. When the orders continued after the holiday season for baby gifts, birthday gifts and more, it occurred to them that maybe this job could be turned into a business and they did it.

My mom went into her business because she had creative ideas. She got orders and filled order. But there was no goal and no real plan. In 1991, my mom’s partner got into financial trouble and there was not enough money to support either mom or her partner.

So if you are led by your creativity or enthusiasm, make sure you ask yourself what you purpose to do your business is. If you don’t set goals, how will you know which direction to go in? Do you want to create jobs and growth in the economy? Are you looking for a hobby? You can’t keep scores if you don’t know what game you are playing.

After my mom’s partner quit, she had to abandon her business to support herself. She swore she would run a business again and do it differently the next time. However, there wasn’t a “next time” for her. She passed away just after her 51st birthday. She never had someone tell her how important having a goal was, she never had a chance to be everything she could be.

There are no right or wrong goals, only the ones that matter to you. Set them so that you can make progress and achieve success, whatever they may mean to you.

1What did the writer’s mom do after failing in her business?

A. She found a different partner.

B. She celebrated her 51st birthday.

C. She planned to have a second try with different methods.

D. She decided never to run a business again.

2What can we infer from the passage?

A. The writer began her business with a set goal.

B. The writer mother was a woman without creativity.

C. The writer’s mother died because of her failure in business.

D. The writer believes having goals in mind ensured one’s success.

3How does the writer present his point of view mainly?

A. By providing examples. B. By explaining causes.

C. By making comparisons. D. By listing figures.

【题目】If you live in the United States, the law says you can't have a fulltime job until you are 16 years old. At 14 or 15, you can work part-time after school or on weekends, and during summer you can work 40 hours each week. Does all that mean that if you are younger than 14, you can't earn() your own money? Of course not! Kids who are between the ages of 10 and 13 can earn money by doing lots of things.

Valerie, 11, told us that she made money by cleaning up other people's yards. Lena, 13, makes money by knitting() dog sweaters and selling them to her neighbors, and Riesa said she had started taking art classes and showing her work to people. People have asked her to draw pictures for them and they pay her for them. Jasmine, 13, writes articles for different magazines!

Earning is learning. By working to earn your own money, you are learning the skills you will need to succeed in life. These skills can include things like getting along with others, using technology(技术) and using your time. Some people think that asking for money is a lot easier than earning it; however, when you make your own money, you don't have to depend on someone else. The five dollars that you earn will probably make you feel a lot better in your hand than the twenty dollars you ask for.
