21、   According to a report by the United Nations, 54 percent of the world’s population lives in urban areas and it predicts that by 2050, this figure will have increased to around 70 percent.But as more and more people migrate from the countryside to the city to get better opportunities, they can end up with nowhere to live.

This is true in places such as Rio de Janeiro, where migrants can’t rent or buy a home, and they end up building their own communities and houses on unoccupied land.These are called shanty towns — poor communities where the houses are built out of cheap materials — and often don’t have any electricity or water supply.

These are, of course, not the megacities (大城市) of the future we want to see. Some serious urban planning is needed to make our cities of the future good, safe and modern places to live in. This involves improving the infrastructure (基础设施), the housing conditions and also the opportunities for education and employment.

Something urban planners are looking at now is the creation of “smart cities”. According to John Rossant, founder and chairman of the non-profit organization New Cities Foundation, technology is the way forward. He thinks that it’s generally accepted that “cloud computing, ubiquitous internet, robust 5G networks, etc, will transform our cities.” He says technology is really “a game changer” in urbanisation. It would collect large amounts of data about how a city is performing and may improve how a city functions.

This may sound like a utopian (乌托邦似的) view. For now, some big cities around the world are trying out more low — tech schemes to try and make them desirable places to live and work in. Building shared — ownership housing and improving public transport are some ways. And encouraging cycling and building bike lanes can keep the population healthy and cut down on smog. What would make your city a better place to live in?

【1】What’s the text mainly about?

A.The city of the future. B.The increase of the population.

C.Urban construction. D.The function of smart cities.

【2】Why does the author mention Rio de Janeiro in Paragraph 2?

A.To show the growth of the world population.

B.To show the problems in urbanization.

C.To show poor living conditions of the city.

D.To show financial trouble of the city.

【3】What plays an important role in the creation of smart cities?

A.Technology. B.Urban planning.

C.The infrastructure of the city. D.Opportunities for education.

22、Imagine a world in which there were suddenly no emotion — a world in which human beings could feel no love or happiness, no terror or hate．Try to imagine the consequences of such a transformation．People might not be able to stay alive: knowing neither joy nor pleasure, anxiety nor fear, they would be as likely to repeat acts that hurt them as acts that were beneficial．They could not learn: they could not benefit from experience because this emotionless world would lack rewards and punishments．Society would soon disappear: people would be as likely to harm one another as to provide help and support．Human relationships would not exist: in a world without friends or enemies, there could be no marriage, affection among companions, or bonds among members of groups．Society's economic underpinnings (支柱) would be destroyed: since earning $10 million would be no more pleasant than earning $10, there would be no incentive (动力) to work．In fact, there would be no incentives of any kind, for as we will see, incentives mean a capacity to enjoy them.

In such a world, the chances that the human species would survive are next to zero, because emotions are the basic instruments of our survival and adaptation．Emotions structure the world for us in important ways．As individuals, we categorize objects on the basis of our emotions．True, we consider the length, shape, size or texture, but an object's physical aspects are less important than what it has done or can do to us — hurt us, surprise us, anger us or make us joyful．We also use categorizations colored by emotions in our families, communities, and overall society．Out of our emotional experience with objects and events comes a social feeling of agreement that certain things and actions are "good" and others are "bad", and we apply these categories to every aspect of our social life — from what foods we eat and what clothes we wear to how we keep promises and which people our group will accept．In fact, society uses our emotional reactions and attitudes, such as loyalty, morality, pride, shame, guilt, fear and greed, in order to maintain itself．It gives high rewards to individuals who perform important tasks such as surgery, makes heroes out of individuals for unusual or dangerous achievements such as flying fighter planes in a war, and uses the legal penal (刑法的) system to make people afraid to engage in antisocial acts.

【1】Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?

A．people would not be able to tell the physical aspects of objects．

B．People would not know what was beneficial and what was harmful to them．

C．$ 10 million is equal to $ 10 in a world without emotions．

D．There would be full of lies, arguments and violence．

【2】In can be inferred from the passage that the economic foundation of society is dependent on ________.

A．the ability to make money

B．the capacity to work

C．the motivation to work

D．our emotional experiences

【3】Why are the emotional aspects of an object more important than its physical aspects?

A．They help society use its members for more profit.

B．They encourage us to perform important tasks in the war.

C．They help to perfect the legal and penal system to make people afraid.

D．They help us adapt our behaviors to the world surrounding us.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．People could only live in a world with emotions.

B．People would always do bad things in the emotionless world.

C．Emotions are very important in the world.

D．Emotions structure the world for us in important ways.

23、My kid’s new school is a construction area now. Even though the new building is very exciting, in the meantime there is no real playground for all the kids to use. They just run around the front of the school during the lunch break.

This gets me thinking about starting a book club for the upper elementary kids to meet in during lunch. This idea has the added benefit of giving my very shy daughter a chance to make some connections with other kids who like books as much as she does.

This is how I’m starting our book club. After getting permission from the principal and finding a space in the school to hold our meetings, I’ll send out a flier (传单) in our Friday school notes with my contact information. At our first meeting we’ll think of a name for our book club and decide together on the first two books we will read.

I absolutely love the idea of a mother-daughter book club. The reason is that my friend, mother of a teenage daughter, told me she always tried to befriend all the mothers of her daughter’s friends. As a group they’re better able to know what the girls are doing.

Now that my daughter is in the fourth grade and we’re at a new school, I’m feeling especially drawn to start forming relationships with the mothers of her friends. A book club seems like a good way to do that with the added benefit of getting to open up communication between daughters and mothers, because in a few years a lot of our daughters won’t really want to talk to us.

【1】What is the original reason why the author wants to start a book club?

A．Her daughter is too shy.

B．There are no books for children to read.

C．There is no playground for children to play on.

D．The children fail to communicate with each other.

【2】What can we know about the book club according to the text?

A．Her daughter’s grades will promote.

B．It can help her daughter communicate with others.

C．His daughter is more and more fond of reading in the book club.

D．This makes his daughter more and more busy with her housework.

【3】Why does the author claim she likes mother-daughter clubs?

A．The club attracted more students to read.

B．His daughter can make more good friends.

C．It’s easy for her to get to know her daughter better.

D．His daughter likes to communicate with more people.

【4】What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A．To share a valuable plan.

B．To apply for joining a book club.

C．To give the school a piece of advice.

D．To ask people to befriend by reading.

24、B

Owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think．They may let you surf the Internet，listen to music and snap photos wherever you are...but they also turn you into a workaholic，it seems．A study suggests that，by giving you access to emails at all times．the all-singing．all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day．

Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles．The study by technology retailer Pixmania，reveals the average UK working day is between nine and ten hours，but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails，or making work calls．Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails．Some workers confess they are on call almost 24 hours a day，with nine out

of ten saying they take work emails and calls outside their normal working hours．Nearly two-thirds say they often check work emails just before they go to bed and as soon as they wake up，while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night．

Ghadi Hobeika，marketing director of Pixmania，said：“The ability to access literally millions of apps，keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has

made smartphones valuable for many people．However，there aredrawbacks．Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day，seven days a week，and smartphones mean that people literally cannot get away from work．The more constantly in contact we become。The more is expected of us in a work capacity．”
