Question

阅读理解 　　Why will we build to the sky, underground, and on the water? 　　It's a matter of practicality．Cities are places where a large number of people live closely in one environment．They have to be planned in a manageable way．For areas like Japan, preventing cities from earthquakes and practical concerns, such as how to house 120 million people efficiently(有效地)gave rise to these new city plans． 　　What will happen to the cities we live in today? 　　The cities of the future will not replace the cities we know today．Instead, mile-high cities(空中城市)will allow us to efficiently control and manage energy by using more efficient heating and cooling systems．They will enable residents(居民)to travel less, and thus create less pollution．“Old”cities may start to look at these new cities．Perhaps“minicities”will suddenly appear and begin to exist within the“old”cities and certain neighborhoods will be redesigned．This could mean a combination of aboveground and underground facilities(设施)． 　　What will the mile-high city be like? 　　You'd live in the middle of a city but within a small town．You could get on an elevator to go to the movies or even to another town and your mother or father wouldn't have to go with you．Inside the town, new, fun means of transportation－like a sky car－would allow you to go from your fifth floor to someone's fifth floor．The mile-high city is an environmentalists' dream．It will change the landscape． (1) The writer believes that the mile-high cities will ________． [　　] A． take the place of ordinary cities completely B． make people spend long hours to travel to their neighboring buildings C． use more efficient heating and cooling systems than ordinary cities D． only allow people to travel in limited space (2) Which of the following is TRUE? [　　] A． There will be no large cities on the ground in the future． B． In the future people will perhaps find transportation can be a lot of fun． C． In the future minicities will arise after the“old”cities disappear． D． There are a lot of small towns in the middle of cities． (3) We can infer from the passage that ________． [　　] A． the cities in the future will take up more space on the land B． there will be fewer people in the world in the future C． human beings will use more energy in the future D． mile-high cities will have a good effect on the environment (4) What is the best title of this passage?
