【题目】The Spring Festival travel rush started on Friday Jan 13, 2017. It is the biggest thing for Chinese to travel in the Spring Festival. It has become the world's largest human movement every year.

During these days, billions of trips are made by travelers. The government's forecast(预测) shows the number is similar to last year's. But it is very difficult for the government to make sure the transportation goes well.

On Friday, 8.55 million trips were made on railways, 58 million by roads, 590, 000 by waterways and 1.3 million by air across the country, according to the Ministry of Transport. New services are being used during this year's travel rush to improve passengers travel speed.

A few major train stations, such as Guangzhou and Changsha, are using face recognition (面貌识别) technology for the first time. The technology can save passengers travel time. It is also convenient for train station staff members who check train tickets and ID cards.

The technology compares passenger's face with the photo on ID card. Now, passengers at those stations only need to stand in front of a camera for a few seconds after putting their ID cardat a checkpoint(检查站). Many passengers experienced the technology at Guangzhou South Railway Station. They described the technology as “convenient, fast and wonderful”.

【题目】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.

1EcoClean works by___________.

A. standing terrible weather??? B. bowling out air pollutants

C. breaking down free radicals??? D. pulling pollutants out of the air

2The 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

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

A. hopeful??? B. regretful??? C. thankful??? D. unbelievable

4The 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
