Cities are likely to be affected by overheating, thanks to something called the urban heat island effect. Cities tend to be short of trees, which provide shade, and they are covered with black pavement, which absorbs heat from the sun. Think of how it feels to wear a dark shirt versus a white shirt on a sunny day. A black shirt absorbs light, heating you up. But a white shirt reflects light, keeping you cool.
The average temperature in a city of a million or more people can be more than 5 degrees F hotter than surrounding areas. That extra 5 degrees can turn a hot day from uncomfortable to deadly. As temperatures rise, cities will be an especially dangerous place to be during a heat wave. To protect public health, city officials are going to make the city cooler.
As part of that effort, Los Angeles is coating its roads in Cool Seal, a gray paint that keeps streets and parking lots 10 degrees cooler than black asphalt(沥青). It will help Angelinos save money during the summer, when air conditioning sends power bills soaring. And it will save lives by lowering temperatures and improving air quality. Hot weather worsens air pollution by turning car exhaust into smog, which can make life miserable for people with asthma(哮喘) and other breathing problems.
Of course, LA will have to do more than paint over a few streets to cool off the city. Angelinos will also need to plant more trees and apply white paint to rooftops—at least those not already covered in solar panels. While LA is a pioneer
of reflective streets, other cities, like New York, are already experimenting with reflective roofs or, like Melbourne, lowering the temperature by planting trees. LA is hardly alone in its effort to stay cool.
“This is an urgent challenge, and it’s much bigger than one person, ” said Mayor Garcetti in a recent statement. “Climate change is a fact of life that people in Los Angeles and cities around the world live with every day. ”
【语篇概述】文章主要提出了热岛效应这个概念, 然后说明热岛效应带来的危害。
1. Which of the following contributes to the urban heat island effect? A. Planting more trees in the streets. B. Covering the streets with white paint. C. Applying reflective paint on rooftops. D. Furnishing every house with air conditioners.
【解析】选D。推理判断题。根据文章第一段的内容以及倒数第二段第二句 Angelinos will also need to plant more trees and apply white paint to rooftops 可知, 多植树, 把道路刷成白色, 以及给屋顶粉刷具有反射性的颜料, 这些都是缓解热岛效应的措施, 因此A、B和C项均不符合题意。D项意为“给每座房子装空调”, 会加重热岛效应, 符合题意。
2. What should the city officials emphasize during hot summer? A. How to make the city cooler. B. Where to wear a white shirt.
C. Why to coat the roads with black paint. D. When to cut off the electricity supply.
【解析】选A。细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容可知, 热岛效应导致市区的温度比郊区高五度, 而这会给人们的健康带来致命的危险, 因此政府人员在炎热夏季的主要任务就是让城市的温度降下来, 因此A项符合题意。 3. What benefit can people gain from the use of CoolSeal? A. Increasing the indoor activities. B. Promoting the sale of air conditioners. C. Making life easier and more comfortable. D. Reducing the number of cold days.
【解析】选C。根据文章第三段第一句 As part of that effort, Los Angeles is coating its roads in CoolSeal, a gray paint that keeps streets and parking lots 10 degrees cooler than black asphalt 和第三句 And it will save lives by lowering temperatures and improving air quality. 可知, 把洛杉矶的马路涂上一层冷确面, 即一种灰色的油漆, 可以降低温度并改善空气质量。从而使人们的生活更加轻松舒适。故选C。
4. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. L. A. adopted many approaches to fight against the heat. B. L. A. calls on people to fight against global warming. C. More and more countries begin to plant trees in the streets. D. L. A. is painting its streets white to keep the city cool.
【解析】选D。主旨大意题。文章主要提出了热岛效应这个概念, 然后说明热岛效应带来的危害, 最后也是文章的中心内容, 介绍了洛杉矶为了降温给城市采取的措施——把街道刷成白色, 因此D项符合题意。

Most of the sandstorms that had swept China last year came from foreign land, a Chinese official in charge of desertification control said on Monday. And the invasions(入侵)could partly explain the frequent sandstorms in the country in recent years despite its achievements in desertification control.
Since the start of last spring, the northern and northwestern Chinese regions had been hit by 17 sandstorms, of which, a dozen came from foreign land.
Situated in the central-Asia sandstorm region, one of the world’s four largest sandstorm sources, China also suffers from sandstorms from outside the country while being blamed as a sand source to northeast Asia. The other three major sources are in Africa, North America and Australia.
The land suffering from desertification has been decreasing by 7, 585 square kilometres annually in China, and the area of sandy land has also been falling by 1, 284 square kilometres a year.
The shrinkage (收缩) forms a clear contrast to the fact that the land suffering from desertification and sandy feature was added by 10, 400 square kilometres and 3, 436 square kilometres late last century, respectively.
Currently, the desertification land in China makes up 2. 64 million square kilometres, accounting for 27. 46 percent of the nation’s land, and its sandy land totals 1. 74 million square kilometres, accounting for 18. 1 percent of the country’s total.
【语篇概述】本文主要讲了中国遭受沙尘暴侵袭, 通过治理在控制沙漠化方面取得了一定成效。
5. Where do most of the sandstorms in China come from? A. The northwestern Chinese regions. B. The northern Chinese regions. C. The western part of China. D. Foreign countries.
【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第一段第一句和第二段可知, 中国遭受沙尘暴侵袭的沙尘大部分来源于外国。
6. Which of the following is believed to be the sand source to northeast Asia? A. Mongolia. C. China.
B. Africa. D. Australia.
【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知, 中国被认为是东北亚风沙的来源地。
7. What does the underlined word “decreasing” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Going down. C. Coming from.
B. Going up. D. Taking up.
【解析】选A。词义猜测题。根据第四段最后的“has also been falling by 1, 284 square kilometres a year”可知, 该词的意思是“减少”, 与fall的意思接近, 故选A项。
8. What can we infer from this passage?
A. The land in China suffering from desertification has been increasing greatly. B. China has made achievements in its own desertification control. C. The desertification land makes up nearly half of China’s territory. D. Little progress has been made in controlling desertification in China.
【解析】选B。推理判断题。根据文章的第四段提供的数据可以看出, 中国在控制沙漠化方面取得了成效。
【拓展训练】根据阅读理解B进行句式仿写 1. 排球是我很喜欢的运动。(of which引导定语从句) Volleyball is a sport of which I am very fond. 2. 有些小孩在河里游泳。(现在分词作定语) There were some children swimming in the river.
3. 我们不得不正视这样的现实: 我们已经做错了。(the fact that同位语从句) We have to face the fact that we have done wrong.
