Experts suggest a possible modelway may be “re-inve

36、nting” a “garden city”. Chinas mega-cities are bursting at the borders and the country is now undergoing the quickest and biggest urbanization in the history of mankind. It is estimated that by 2025, China will have 400 million more people living in its cities, raising its urban population to 900 mi

37、llion. Besides, new satellite towns are mushrooming on the urban fringes while city ring roads are rippling outwards into the countryside at amazing speed. Satellite maps collected by Professor Joshua Bolchover at the University of Hong Kong bring the problem sharply into focus. They track the chang

38、ing rural-urban framework in the past 30 years, and suggest that cities are cruelly destroying surrounding rural land and rapidly reducing the amount of arable（可耕种的）land, which gives way to new residential blocks, new industrial zones, new financial centers and the other inevitable signs and signatu

39、res of economic growth. This, however, is not sustainable growth pattern, especially when China has the worlds largest population to feed. So concerned urban planners are starting to note the social and physical effects of diaspora（大移居）when replaced rural communities are forced into the cities. On t

40、he other hand, a trend of thought is gradually taking shape and this is the concept of the “garden city”, a combination of country and city that is being proposed by architects and city planners. Hua Li, from Tao Architects, is among the many professionals with such a voice. His argument is supporte

41、d by a long-term study on this subject. As Hua says, the answer is to preserve patches of productive farmland within urban boundaries. Less transportation means we have fresh agricultural products at lower costs and less carbon emission in the city. And urban farmland can also be showcased for agric

42、ultural tourism and education. The concept is already practiced at the grassroot level. Agriculture has gone into the air, up to roof and balcony in some communities in the cities. Its common to see organic “hanging garden” on the roof of some traditional courtyard home. According to some people, th

43、e rooftop project translate to tangible (= practical) benefits, such as safe, nutritious vegetables, a cooler home in summer. Some say thanks to the tomatoes they plant that are natural insect killers, therere fewer mosquitoes. Apart from these, it also contributes to better bonding with neighbors.

44、Zhang, a doctor in Beijing, began creating his hanging garden five years ago. Since his garden became home to 30 kinds of vegetables and fruit - all enough to feed his family, neighbors have enjoyed dropping by for a relaxing chat or just to see how well the lovely vegetables and fruit are doing. Al

45、though people like Zhang are still rare and the greening of roof space with vegetables and fruit takes skill and energy, with more positive media exposure and advanced technology there is the prospect that garden city will become common practice in the near future. By then, cities will no longer loo

46、k so gray when seen from the satellites.63. What is the purpose of paragraph 2? A. To show the experts concern about the increase of population. B. To persuade people into supporting economic growth in cities. C. To explain the reasons for the change of rural-urban framework. D. To inform the reader

47、s of the consequences of quick urbanization.64. In Hua Lis opinion, a combination of country and city will _. A. benefit the environment and lower living costs B. become a project that needs a long-term study C. lead to more rural communities being replaced D. attract more farmers to take tours in c

48、ities65. Zhang is mentioned (Paragraph 5) to show that _. A. he achieves his dream to own a hanging garden B. hanging gardens are becoming more popularC. the garden contributes to a better neighborhood D. he is a pioneer to practise the gardening concept66. As for the concept of the “garden city”, t

49、he writer feels_. A. desperateB. hopefulC. disappointedD. concerned DWhat will power your house in the future? Nuclear, wind, or solar power? According to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US, it might be leaves but artificial ones. Natural leaves are able to chang

50、e sunlight and water into energy. It is known as photosynthesis (光合作用). Now researchers have found a way to imitate this seemingly simple process. The artificial leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his colleagues at MIT can be seen as a special silicon chip (硅片) with catalysts (催化剂). Similar to natu

51、ral leaves, it can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when put into a bucket of water. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are then stored in a fuel cell (电池), which uses those two materials to produce electricity, located either on top of a house or beside the house. Though the leaf is only about the s

52、hape of a poker card, scientists claimed that it is promising to be an inexpensive source of electricity in developing countries. “One can imagine villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable basic power system based on this technology,” said Docera at a conference of the

53、American Chemical Society. An artificial leaf is not a new idea. The first artificial leaf was invented in 1997 but was too expensive and unstable for practical use. The new leaf, by contrast, is made of cheap materials, easy to use and highly stable. In laboratory studies, Nocera showed that an art

54、ificial leaf prorotype (原型) could operate continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity. The wonderful improvements come from Noceras recent discovery of several powerful new, inexpensive catalysts. These catalysts make the energy transformation (转换) inside the leaf more efficient wi

55、th water and sunlight. Right now, the new leaf is about 10 times more efficient at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural one. Besides, the device can run in whatever water is available; that is, it doesnt need pure water. This is important for some countries that dont have access to pure water.

56、 With the goal to “make each home its own power station” and “giving energy to the poor”, scientists believe that the new application could be widely used in developing countries, especially in India and rural China.67. Which of the following order correctly shows how the artificial leaf is used to

57、produce electricity?a. artificial leaves split water into hydrogen and oxygenb. the hydrogen and oxygen gases are stored in a fuel cellc. the artificial leaves are put in waterd. the fuel cell uses hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricityA. cbad B. cabd C. bcad D. cadb68. Which of the following st

58、atements about new artificial leaves is TRUE according to the article?A. They are inexpensive but unstable.B. They are as efficient at carrying out photosynthesis as natural leaves.C. They can work only in pure water.D. They need several catalysts to help them work efficiently.69. The aim of the sci

59、entists at MIT in developing the new artificial leaves is to .A. build-up more power stations in the worldB. provide cheaper energy for developing countriesC. offer people in developing countries access to pure waterD. gain a deeper understanding of the photosynthesis process70. What is the main poi

60、nt of the article?A. Introduction to the history of artificial leaves.B. An invention copying photosynthesis.C. Giving energy to the poor.D. A mixture of water power and solar energy.第II卷（非选择题 共35分）第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。Do we need an “Ivy L

Most of people view this gala as an annual staple on the traditional Chinese Spring Festival Eve.
