8、1 ful culture.B.To introduce the scenery inLondon.C.To ask people to do outdoor activities.D.To recommend a night tour inLondon.B One billion people in the world are short of water.How can this problem be solved.Some suggestions have been to desalinate ocean water or to build enormous water pipeline
9、s from areas where water is abundant.(Suggestions such as these prove extremely expensive when they are actually used.)One possibility that scientists are considering is pulling icebergs from either the North Pole or the South Pole to parts of the world with a water shortage.Although many questions
10、must be answered before such a project could be tried,moving icebergs seems a reasonable possibility in the future.Engineers,mathematicians,and glaciologists from a dozen countries have been considering the iceberg as a future source of water.Saudi Arabia is particularly interested in this project b
11、ecause it has a great water shortage.Scientists estimate that it would take 128 days to transport a large iceberg(about 1/2 square mile)to Saudi Arabia.Yet the iceberg would be completely melted by the 104th day.Therefore,insulation would be essential,but how to insulate the iceberg remains an unsol
12、ved problem.The problems in transporting an iceberg are numerous.The first problem is choosing the iceberg to pull.The icebergs that form in the North Pole are quite difficult to handle because of their shape.Only a small portion extends above the water most of the iceberg is below the surface,which
13、 would make it difficult to pull.South Pole icebergs,on the other hand,are flat and float like table tops.Thus they would be much easier to move.How can a 200-million-ton iceberg be moved.No ship is strong enough to pull such enormous weight through the water.Perhaps several ships could be used.Atta
14、ching ropes to an iceberg this size is also an enormous problem.Engineers think that large nails or long metal rods could be driven into the ice.What would happen if the iceberg splits into several pieces during the pulling.Even if an iceberg with very few cracks were chosen,how could it be pulled t
15、hrough stormy waters.Furthermore,once the iceberg reached its destination,very few ports would be deep enough to store it.All of these problems must be solved before icebergs can become a reasonable source of water.Yet scientists estimate that it will be possible to transport them in the near future
16、.Each year,enough icebergs form to supply the whole world with fresh water for a full year.In addition,icebergs are free and nonpolluting.As a solution to the worlds water problems,icebergs may be a workable possibility.4.What is a problem in transporting iceberg?A.The size of the iceberg.B.The colo

20、raced back for centuries,it had never been the issue as it is today,causing widespread discussion and research.This rise in checking social media is naturally connected to the increasing leading position that social media holds over our lives.Every time someone opens their WeChat Moments,Facebook,Tw
21、itter.etc.,they are bombarded with the highlight reels of other peoples lives.A sunny beach,delicious-looking food,a super cute kitten-they are all uplifting photos,yet theyre very likely to bring about more unhappiness than joy.You see,the first thought to come out of your mind may be“Wow,thats so
22、cool/delicious/cute”,but then it takes a hard U-turn.Youre thinking:“I wish I were there”or“my life is so boring compared to his/hers.”The more you see,the more likely you are to have these negative feelings.Whats worse is the habit many people have of turning to social media in search of happiness
23、when they are feeling down,not realizing that they are just going to end up in a negative cycle of endless disappointment.Montesquieu once said:“If one only wished to be happy,this could be easily accomplished;but we wish to be happier than other people,and this is always difficult,for we believe ot
24、hers to be happier than they are.”FOMO will go hand in hand with dissatisfaction and envy.Appreciate what you already have,because someone else out there in the world would gladly give everything to be you.8.What is the purpose of the questions in paragraph 1?A.To introduce the topic of the passage.
25、B.To explain the function of FOMO.C.To describe the features of FOMO.D.To give the reasons for checking social media.9.How might people feel seeing others perfect life through social media?A.Joyful.B.Admiring.C.Comfortable.D.Envious.10.What can we conclude from Montesquieus words in paragraph 3?A.We
