    Breakthroughs in science and technology are paving the way for modern cities to support bigger populations. Now, we see the most exciting urban innovations to show you exactly how they’ll improve your city’s infrastructure(基础设施).

    Lighting Up The Night

    Anthony Di Mari dreamed up an electric tree to help irrigate public parks and light them at night. These electric trees contain a special infill (填充物) that collects water from rainfall. The water is then distributed through a shallow underground irrigation system with the help from the trees’ swaying movement. An electric motor turns energy from the waving of the artificial trees into electricity, which is used to light up the trees’ outer LEDs.

    Thinking Outside The Box

    As more people flock to urban areas, city planners will need to get increasingly creative about how to satisfy residents’ health and transportation needs within decreasing available space. One way to achieve this is by updating infrastructure to support biking and walking by building suspended(悬浮的) roundabouts like hovering in the Netherlands. By lifting bicycle and pedestrian traffic above busy roadways, cities can significantly decrease over-crowded traffic condition.

    Waving Hello To Clean Energy

    Cities that don’t receive enough sunlight may find an attractive alternative in wave power. Since ocean waves rarely experience disruption(中断), electric engines driven by their clockwork push-and-pull can reliably provide power throughout the year. Further, thanks to advances in wave power technology, engineers have been able to move wave power engines farther offshore, where the waves pack the most punch, making the engines extremely efficient. So in the future, heavily populated coastal cities may use wave to meet their energy needs.

    1.What is the special infill used to do?

    A. To make the trees beautiful.

    B. To produce electricity.

    C. To help the trees’ swaying.

    D. To collect water from rainfall.

    2.How do the Netherlands improve the city traffic according to the text?

    A. By updating the city roadway condition.

    B. By building walking passages underground.

    C. By creating suspended roundabouts above roadways.

    D. By supporting more biking and walking.

    3.What does the author mainly tell us in the last paragraph?

    A. The advantages of wave power.

    B. The ways to use wave power.

    C. The future of wave power.

    D. The advances in wave power technology.

    根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

    It is very common for you to find yourself in an unfamiliar situation. 1. Yes, everyone tells you to stand on your own two feet and take responsibility for your action, but if you haven’t experienced a situation before, how can you know what to do?

    We usually try our best to do everything on our own and not to rely on others, but at certain times calling for help is the best way forward. You can picture the scene of the man—it is usually a man—driving blindly around an unfamiliar town looking for an address he doesn’t know. 2. And he could get to his appointment on time. It is obvious to everybody in such a case that asking for help is not a sign of weakness, but rather the sensible thing to do.

    3. For example, you are looking for a new job and need to write your resume（简历）. If your pride prevents you from getting help and you just do the writing yourself, it may well cost the opportunity you are seeking. Similarly, when you just started a new job, you often don’t want to admit that you haven’t got the knowledge to finish a particular task, so you keep going and eventually make things worse than they were. This may lead to a diminishing(贬低) of you in the eyes of the boss. 4.

    Now you can see that asking for help is not a sign of weakness but is the sensible and mature thing to do. 5. Making your life easier by asking for and using knowledgeable help is not a sign of weakness, but is actually quite a clever thing to do.

    A. What’s worse, you are most likely to lose the new job.

    B. Actually speaking, asking for help is not a sign of weakness.

    C. There are times when you know you don’t have the relevant experience.

    D. If only he would stop and ask for directions, he could save lots of time.

    E. However, many people tend to make mistakes over and over when help is available.

    F. You will also recognize expert help would save your time, energy and money.

    G. You can accustom yourself to asking for help sooner or later.

    Developing ideas in writhing is the greatest

    Developing ideas in writhing is the greatest problem that students face. 36 However, learning how to develop idea in writing, that is, critical thinking—the ability to think clearly and form a judgment is what proves most difficult for them. Students who have not learned to think critically often have a hard time developing ideas in writing. So, if learning critical thinking is difficult, what can you do?

    37 Students, however, should not read without a goal in mind. Students should be active readers by studying how other writers build their arguments. In other words, they should consider the critical thinking of each author they have read. 38 What is the argument that the writer is making? What evidence does the writer use? How does the writer present their ideas? 39 How does the writer evaluate information? 40 It will also help you to think about how you can write better and practice your critical thinking skill, too.

    A. Students can learn language rules, vocabulary words, and even how to structure essays.

    B. Some students find learning grammar is difficult.

    C. Students can start improving their writing and critical thinking skill by reading.

    D. How is the writer using the supporting details?

    E. The next time you are reading something, try to ask yourself some of the following questions.

    F. Asking these questions will give you a point to start understanding how other people think.

    G. How is the writer connecting their ideas?

    根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

    You want to be happy, who doesn’t? However, whether you procrastinate(拖延), feed negative self-talk, or don’t rest your mind, you lower your potential to create happiness.

    Procrastination

    You aren’t in deadly danger if you procrastinate, but your system doesn’t always take this information on board. You still react as though you are anxious and produce stress chemicals.

    1. Your ability to see the big picture of life is reduced when you procrastinate. Therefore, you don’t see as much joy.

    Negative self-talk

    2. Taking notice of what goes on in your head and putting positive change in action makes negative self-talk useful. Nevertheless, most people don’t recognize negative self-talk as a pointer; they feed it until it grows out of control.

    3.

    Your mind contains an incredible amount of information and is more powerful than any computer many times over. However, if you give it too many tasks, you shut out peace of mind.

    4. Thought-overload results in physical symptoms, like a racing heart and shortness of breath. Additionally, you might have sleeplessness, digestive problems and other symptoms of stress that reduce your happiness.

    If you want to increase the odds of being happy, don’t procrastinate. 5. Similarly, don’t overload your mind, give it a rest and you will soon notice you are happier.

    A. Not resting your mind.

    B. Using your brain regularly.

    C. It is a human weakness to put things off.

    D. At the same time, don’t feed negative self-talk.

    E. Self-talk can tell you how healthy you are emotionally.

    F. Additionally, as your system is nervous physically, your mind also closes off a little.

    G. Thinking about many things at once leads to a feeling of anxiety.
