unit 4global warming.阅读when we think of how cities will look in the future,we probably picture tall gray buildings and skies filled with flying cars.one city in australia,however,is trying to change that image.earlier this month,it was reported that the city of melbourne plans to build a pair of tall towers,which look more like massive (巨大的) tree houses than skyscrapers (摩天大楼).the project,known as the green spine,will turn melbournes skyline from gray to green once the two towers are completed,with one of the buildings becoming the tallest in the southern hemisphere,at 356.2 meters tall.both towers will have balconies running down one side,filled with plants and trees.meanwhile,on the top of each tower,a botanical garden will offer a relaxing space where visitors can enjoy nature,away from the noise of the city.“our green spaces are our citys lungs,its shade from the sun,”building architect phil rowe said in a news release.in spite of their proposed (计划的) size,these buildings are just a small part of a wider trend for greener and more eco-friendly structures.plans are already underway in several cities around the world to build entire skyscrapers from wood,with an 18-story building made from pine already existing in minneapolis,us.indeed,in this modern age of technology and tall buildings,it seems that people just want a touch of nature in their lives.“the 20th century was the concrete (混凝土的) age;it was all about the dominion(统治) of man over nature,”british architect anthony thistleton told the bbc.“now,were transitioning (转变) toward a different attitude,a more nurturing (滋养的) one.”the move toward making cities greener places isnt a new concept.one just needs to look at places such as new yorks central park to see that natural spaces and sprawling (伸展的) cities have been partners for hundreds of years.and,of course,wooden buildings themselves have been around far longer than concrete and steel ones.in fact,chinas wooden fogong temple pagoda,located in shanxi province,is still standing almost 1,000 years after it was built.so,like many other trends from fashion to technology,it seems that humankind is taking a step backwards to a simpler time.our future may not be as we pictured it,but itll certainly be a lot greener.1.according to the text,melbournes green spine will be .a.the highest buildings in the worldb.made entirely from woodc.skyscrapers to solve pollution problemsd.filled with green plants and trees2.why did the author mention new yorks central park and chinas wooden fogong temple pagoda?a.to compare their design

longer use concrete and steel.语篇解读:本文主要介绍了墨尔本市将要建造两座巨塔,而这两座巨塔的设计融入了绿色、环保的理念。答案及剖析:1.d细节理解题。根据第五段“both towers will have balconies running down one side,filled with plants and

to clear up after dinner?1.you know that theres always someone else around,which can help you feel safer.there is always someone to talk to,so you never feel lonely.besides these obvious benefits,there are some you may not notice.2.to examine the effect of living alone,australian university researchers did much research and found that people living alone tended to eat less fresh food,which can have a significant negative effect on long-term health.however,those living with others generally benefited from a more varied diet compared to those living alone.3.the researchers believe the social and cultural roles played by cooking,food preparation and eating may be important considerations.for example,those living with friends have someone else to go shopping with,and thus are likely to buy high-quality fresh food regularly.4.if people living alone find they do not have the knowledge required to prepare a particular dish or cook a certain food,they may fall back on ready-made,less healthy food.however,if they live with at least one other person,they may be able to ask for help.in addition,people living alone can eat whatever they want at any time of the day or night.however,its helpful to have someone around who questions your decision to eat frozen pizza at 3 am.5.so,if you now live alone and find yourself fighting a losing battle against poor eating habits,why not consider sharing a home with someone else?you could encourage one another on to greater health and well-being.a.cooking skills may be another factor.b.in other words,roommates can draw your attention to unhealthy routines.c.living with a roommate could be a good thing because a roommate can share your expenses and contribute to your homes maintenance.d.for example,were actually more likely to eat healthier food when living with others.e.what could explain these findings?f.its hard to find someone who doesnt grate on your nerves,has a similar cleanliness level as you and goes to bed at the same time.g.however,living with another person also comes with many benefits.答案:1-5gdeab.完形填空hundreds of people have formed impressions of you through that little device(装置) on your

desk”可知,很多人只是通过电话了解你。但实际上从来没有。根据语境应为(met)见过面。2.a考查动词辨析。紧接上文“从未见过面”,他们对你的了解来自(came)电话;有时,来自数百英里之外 。3.c考查副词辨析。rather相当地;also也;just只是;already已经。本句使用just表示强调,别人只要通过声音就可以了解你。4.d考查形容词辨析。本空前的but说明上下文之间是转折关系,电话虽然很强大,但是也并不是很准确的(accurate)。direct直接的;useful有用的;easy容易的;accurate准确的。5.a考查介词短语辨析。a项与空
