24、The Internet company Tencent is building a car-free 'smart city", Net City, in Shenzhen. There will be offices, apartments, schools, shops, parks and other open spaces. Road bridges and subway system will connect Net City to the rest of Shenzhen. Though it is planned, as a work-life area for Tencent employees, the designer hopes it will attract visitors from other places and be a key part of Shenzhen.

According to the designers, the planning of Net City put people and the environment first. It can be a model for "future of city building" after the COVID-19 pandemic (流行病).

Different from traditional cities. Net City will be a place where the employees can work, live, and play. The office building will be the center of the project, surrounded by apartments, schools and parks to make sure a work-life balance for Tencent employees.

The designers rethink the car’s role in planning. "Our main goal was to provide a place where technology and artificial intelligence (AI) can really benefit (使受益) people," said Jonathan Ward one of the designers. "To do that, we tried to reduce the use of cars as much as possible.”

'Going 'car-free ' is still a challenge in our world, so we spent a lot of time designing the city.” Although cars will be able to get into some parts of the neighborhood, the plan tried to avoid all “unnecessary” traffic. "We take away some roads because we think it's fine for people to walk two minutes longer from a subway or bus stop." Ward explained. "And, in those two minutes, you might see something fun, get close to nature or meet a friend you haven't seen for a while."

What's more, the plan considers the environment with "green" rooftops and systems for reusing wastewater. Planners also thought about projects for future sea level rises, so that buildings are better protected against climate change. The building of Net City is expected to complete in seven years.

【1】When planning Net City, the designers put ________ first.

A．people and the environment

B．artificial intelligence

C．the employees and their cars

D．future sea level rises

【2】Tencent builds Net City in order to ________.

A．provide a work-life area for its employees

B．create a model for "future of city building"

C．benefit people with the latest AI technology

D．encourage a car-free and healthier lifestyle

【3】The designers spent a lot of time designing the city because ________.

A．they can't work together during the pandemic

B．it's difficult to plan the traffic for a car-free city

C．too many roads and subways need to be built

D．they need to consider the environment

【4】According to the passage, we can infer that ___________.

A．Net City is just a work-life place for Tencent

B．no car can get into the neighborhood of Net City

C．it will take two minutes from subway to the offices

D．sea level rises because of climate change

25、   Renting a color television makes more sense than buying. Here’s why:

1. The longer you rent (租), the less you pay. Each year the monthly rate is reduced. You can reach a low rate of not much more than $12 a week.

2. Service is fast and free. We can have your set installed (安装) in two days. If anything goes wrong, we’ll have it fixed the same day or lend you another set while we’re mending it. And don’t forget: service and spare parts are free!

3. If you don’t have an aerial (天线), we’ll install one for you, and that will be free, too. All you have to pay is the installation charge (安装费)!

4. You can choose from all kinds of models, and what’s more, if after a certain period of time, and you would like a new model, you can change. How’s that for service?

5. No deposit (押金) is needed. You pay only the monthly rental fee. But if you pay in advance, you can save money. Pay twelve months’ fees when you begin to hire, and we’ll give you a month’s hire without charge.

6. If you decide that you want to stop renting and buy the set you have on hire, this can be arranged—with a generous allowance (折扣) for the fees already paid.
