12、ment was promoted worldwide, most cities are at a loss what to do or even some have objected to it. But in Liuzhou, a city in southern China, attitudes could not be more different.The Liuzhou Municipality Urban Planning Bureau has signed up Italian architect Stefano Boeri, the father of the forest c

13、ity movement, to build a self-contained community for up to 30,000 people. He is the go-to man for such projects thanks to the success of his vertical fbrests, two residential （住宅的）towers. Completed in 2014, they remove up to 17.5 tons of soot （煤烟） from the air each year, and a year later one of the

14、m was named Best Tall Building Worldwide.The Liuzhou project is a much more ambitious undertaking, however. Its homes, hospitals, hotels, schools and offices will be built on a 340-acre site in what Boeri calls the first attempt to create an “urban environment that is really trying to find a balance

15、 with nature”. Its 100 species of plant life are expected to absorb almost 10,000 tons of carbon dioxide and 57 tons of pollutants per year, while at the same time producing 900 tons of life-giving oxygen.Although the architects haven,t published the cost of the forest city, the Milan towers cost on

16、ly five percent more than traditional skyscrapers.The construction of his forest city at Liuzhou is set to begin in 2020, and there is still a great deal of planning and research required before a projected completion date can be set. However, Boeri remains optimistic about the project and has confi

17、dence in the soundness of his vision: I really think that bringing forests into the city is a way to deal with global warming.” 1、Whats Liuzhous attitude towards the sustainable development?A.

To solve house shortage.Text 2Lucy, whose skeleton （骨骼） was discovered in Ethiopia in 1974, died shortly after she fell out of a tree,according to a new study published Monday i

20、n the British journal Nature.For their research, Kappelman and Dr. Richard Ketcham used a CT scanner to create more than 35, 000 slices” of Lucys skeleton. Scientists named her Lucy from the Beatles song “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”, which was played at the camp the night of her discovery.The fol

21、lowing analysis of the slices showed sharp, clean breaks seen at the end of Lucy*s right humerus （肱骨） are similar to bone breaks seen in victims of falls.The researchers concluded that these and other breaks in her skeleton show that Lucy, who is believed to have stood about 3 feet 6 inches and weig

22、hed about 60 pounds, fell feet first and used her arms to support herself - but that the injury was too severe to have been survivable.The researchers estimate that Lucy was going about 35 miles an hour when she hit the ground after falling from a height of roughly 40 feet, according to the statemen

23、t.That sounds plausible. But other scientists are doubtful. There are countless explanations for bone breaks, Dr, Donald C, Johanson, director of the Institute of Human Origins and one of the scientists who discovered Lucy, said, The suggestion that she fell out of a tree is largely a just - so stor

24、y and therefore unprovable. Johanson said it was more likely that Lucys breaks occurred long after she died, saying that elephant bones appear to have the same kind of breaks, Its unlikely they fell out of a tree.But the new research focused on na small number of breaks* that are consistent with nhi

25、gh - energy bone - to - bone influences and which differ from the sorts of breaks commonly seen in other collected bones. Kappelman responded in an email, “These appear to have occurred at or near the time of death.1、What can we infer about Lucy from Kappelman and Dr. Richard Ketchams research ?A. S

26、he got her name from a song.B. She had more than 35, 000 slices.C. She couldnt use her arms properly.D. She made an effort to save herself.2、What does the underlined word plausible1 in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A. Reasonable.B. Creative.C. Surprising.D. Unbelievable.3、Which of the following would Jo

27、hanson probably agree?A. Elephants are unlikely to die from falling.B. Lucy got breaks at or near the time of death.C. Other reasons for the breaks should be considered.D. Lucys bone breaks differ from other bone breaks.4、What conclusion can we draw from the passage?A. Lucy didnt die from falling ou

28、t of a tree.B. The newly published study was meaningless.C. The argument on how Lucy died will continue.D. Scientists will find another way to solve the problem.Text 3A Japanese company is developing a pair of smart glasses that can help those with visual or comprehension problems to read written te

29、xt more easily. Called the Oton Glass, the glasses are meant to translate text into sound using two cameras and an earpiece, both fitted to its frame.Half of the lens （镜片）is a mirror that reflects the wearers eyes back to the first camera, which tracks eye movement. The other camera captures the tex

30、t. Wearers use the glasses by staring at the text they cant read and blinking （眨眼）to trigger the glasses. Then the captured words are sent to a cloud system, which processes the text and turns it into sound played through the earpiece. If the system is unable to identify the words, the images are se

31、nt to a remote worker who can deal with them.The Oton Glass lead designer, Keisuke Shimakage, started working on the glasses in 2012 to aid his father, who had developed dyslexia, a condition that makes it difficult for someone to read and spell. While his father eventually recovered, Shimakage cont

32、inued his development in order to help others with the disorder.Currently, the Oton Glass is seeking funding. Backers can get a pair of the glasses for 5,000 yen (roughly $47).Smart glasses arent a new concept, but its difficult to point to any single pair of smart glasses that people have reviewed

33、favorably. It could, perhaps, be that previous products tried to do too much, or were too expensive. Thats why IntePs Vaunt smart glasses stripped out some features, like its camera, LCD screen, and speakers. The Oton Glass is for a very specific audience, and its relatively low price could make it

34、more appealing to those who want an affordable way to understand the text around them.1、What was Keisukes original purpose in designing the Oton Glass?A. To treat his father disease.B. To translate text into sound.C. To assist his father to read.D. To make written text easier to read.2、What is the r

35、ight order how the Oton Glass works?a. The camera captures the words.b. The wearer stares at the text.c. The wearer hears the sound via the earpiece.d. The cloud system turns the text into sound.e. The wearer blinks to get the glasses working.A. a, b, e, c, dB. e, b, c, d, aC. b, d, a, e, cD. b, e,

36、a, d, c3、The underlined part stripped out“ in the last paragraph can be replaced by.A. improved B. removedC , increased D. invented4、What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The advantages of the Oton Glass.B. The characteristics of smart glasses.C. Consumers9 evaluation of the Oton Glass.D. The t

37、arget audiences of various smart glasses.Text 4The British custom of driving on the left side of the road isnt a sign of eccentricity-theres actually a very sensible reason for it.Originally, almost everybody travelled on the left side of the road. For Medieval swordsmen on horseback, it made sense

38、to keep to the left to have their right arms closer to their opponents. Mounting and dismounting horses were also easier from the left side, and safer done by the side of the road than in the center.So perhaps the question here should be, why did people stop travelling on the left?Things changed in

39、the late 1700s when large carriages pulled by several pairs of horses were used to transport farm products in France and the United States. In the absence of a drivers seat inside the carriage, the driver sat on the rear left horse, with his right arm free to use his whip to keep the horses moving.

40、Since he was sitting on the left, he wanted other vehicles to pass on his left, so he kept to the right side of the road.The British Government refused to give up their left-hand driving ways. Meanwhile post-revolution France, under their left-handed ruler Napoleon, stuck to a permanent move to the

41、right side of the road. As the British and the French were yielding their power across the globe, they insisted that the countries they occupied drive like them. This explains why former British colonies such as Australia, New Zealand and India drive on the left, while former French colonies like Al

42、geria drive on the right.When Henry Ford made his Model T in 1908, the drivers seat was on the left, meaning that for Americans, cars would have to drive on the right side of the road to allow front and back passengers to exit the car onto the sideway. This influenced a change in many countries, suc

43、h as Canada, Italy and Spain. However, British drivers remain on the left, and this is highly unlikely to change.1、It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that in Middle Ages.A. people always got on horses from the left sideB. people all walked and rode on the left of the roadC , people never got off ho

44、rses in the center of the roadD. swordsmen felt safer travelling on the left of the road2、Why did people start travelling on the right?A. They used large carriages to transport farm products.B. They had to hold their whips with their right hands.C. They wanted other carriages to pass on their left.D

45、. They were forced to sit on the back left horse.3、According to the passage, which of the following keep to the left side of the road?A. Russia. B. India.C. Spain. D. Algeria.4、Why does the author mention Model T in the last paragraph?A. To introduce a world-famous make of American cars.B. To stress

46、 its role in changing the custom of driving.C. To describe its safest design for passengers.D. To explain why the British wont change.Part BDirections:Read the following text and answer the questions by choosing the most suitable subheading from the list A -G for each numbered paragraph (41 - 45).
