“Slow City” — a recently launched project focused on preserving the traditional quality of life enjoyed in some of Italy’s smaller cities and towns. The project was born from the idea of the “Slow Food” movement — started in Italy in the 1980s — which promotes leisurely eating and the growing of local, healthy products to fight against the American fast-food style.
“The American urban model has invaded our cities, making Italian towns look the same. We want to stop this kind of globalization,” says Paolo Saturnini, an Italian mayor.
The “Slow City” project plans to emphasize the rich, cultural, culinary(厨房的) and artistic local traditions of each community.
Walking areas will be enlarged and squares and parks will be made greener with more plants. Car alarms and other noise that disturbs the peace will be banned, and ugly TV aerials(天线), advertising posters, and signs will be taken down.
City councils will also insist on the use of recycling and renewable energy sources, and will also introduce ecological transport systems. Parking will be made stress-free by creating more public parking areas, and easily accessible walkways and bike lanes will cross the city. But in the “Slow City” way, all improvements will probably come about slowly.
Thirty-two Italian city councils, which joined the “Slow City” program, have decided to take further steps in this direction by increasing the numbers of traditional family-style eating establishments, reducing noise pollution, and concentrating on making their towns friendlier for people to live in.
Organic local produce will be promoted in all restaurants and genetically modified foods(转基因食品) will be banned. “We can’t stop large, fast-food chains from coming here, but we hope that people who come to our towns will not want to eat exactly the same hamburger they can eat in Melbourne, London or Paris, but want something genuine and different,” said Saturnini.
1.According to the passage, the “Slow City” project aims at _____.
A．preventing Italy from being affected by America
B．beautifying the environment of small Italian cities and towns
C．calling on Italians to enjoy stress-free life
D．protecting the traditional Italian lifestyle
2.From Paragraphs 4-5, we can infer that ______.
A．cars in “Slow City” will have to go slowly
B．people can park their cars free of charge in “Slow City”
C．“Slow City” will take on an environmentally friendly look
D．advertising in “Slow City” will be banned
3.Further measures will be included in the “Slow City” program EXCEPT _____.
A．cutting down noise pollution
B．stop genetically modified foods
C．getting more towns involved in the project
D．building more family-style restaurants
4.In Saturnini’s opinion, when traveling in “Slow Cities”, visitors_____.
A．aren’t provided with fast food
B．will see few fast-food chains
C．can enjoy themselves like in London
D．can enjoy real Italian-style healthy food

查看习题详情和答案>>When Lady Gaga releases a new single, it quickly goes around the world.
Now scientists have discovered the same thing happens with the songs of another unusual and interesting creature – the humpback whale.
The mammals become interested in new tunes just like people do, and the most popular original whale songs spread globally like hit singles.
The discovery has astonished experts who say it is the first time such a large, “population-wide cultural exchange” has been seen in the animal kingdom.
Male humpback whales are well-known for the loud, long and complex songs they make during the mating season. Scientists are unsure why the males sing. Some believe it is a way of advertising themselves to females, others that it allows migrating(迁徙)whales to stay in contact.
Each song lasts for 10 to 20 minutes and the males can sing continuously for 24 hours. At any period of time, all the males in a population sing the same song. But a study, published in the journal Current Biology, shows that this song changes over time and spreads around the oceans. Dr Ellen Garland, of Queensland University, said: “Our findings show cultural exchange on a vast scale. Songs move like cultural ripples from one population to another, causing all males to change their song to a new version.”
Researchers recorded songs from six neighboring populations of whales in the Pacific over a decade. They found that new versions of the songs appear over time and always spread from west to east.
It takes around two years for songs that appear in the waters off Australia to be heard in French Polynesia.
Dr Garland believes that a small number of whales may migrate to other populations carrying the new songs with them, or that they are heard by passing whales.
Dr Garland said, “We think this male search for song novelty(新颖)is in the hope of being that little bit different and perhaps more attractive to the opposite sex.”
63. The author mentions Lady Gaga to ______.
A. prove the popularity of her hit singles
B. show whales’ songs also spread globally
C. emphasize humpbacks are as famous as her
D. provide readers with a new way to learn her songs
64. The underlined word “release” in Paragraph 1 means “______”.
A. announce B. sell
C. publish D. record
65. The discovery is very astonishing to experts, because it reveals ______.
A. the existence of cultural change
B. cultural exchange on a vast scale
C. the reason why male humpbacks sing
D. the novelty of the songs of humpbacks
66. According to the passage, Dr Garland wants to tell us ______.
A. male whales adopt new songs to make themselves distinct
B. all female humpbacks also change their song during the mating season
C. whales have their own tunes that spread around the world for a decade
D. whales can sing continuously for 24 hours when migrating from west to east
