11、ve in cities, parks are an important landscape. They provide a place for people to relax and play sports, as well as a shelter from the often severe environment of a city. What people often overlook is that parks also provide considerable environmental benefits.One benefit of parks is that plants ab

12、sorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen. According to one study, an acre of trees can absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide that a typical car emits in 11,000 miles of driving. Parks also make cities cooler. Scientists have long noted what is called the Urban Heat Island - 4 -Effect: building mat

13、erials such as metal and concrete (混凝土) absorb much more of the suns heat and release it much more quickly than trees and grass. Because city landscapes contain so much of these building materials, cities are usually warmer than surrounding rural areas. Parks and other green spaces help to lessen th

14、e Urban Heat Island Effect.Unfortunately, many cities cannot easily create more parks. However, cities could benefit from many of the positive effects of parks by encouraging citizens to create another type of green space: rooftop gardens. While most people would not think of starting a garden on th

15、eir roof, human beings have been planting gardens on rooftops for thousands of years. Some rooftop gardens are simple container gardens that anyone can create with the investment (投资) of a few hundred dollars and a few hours of work.Rooftop gardens provide many of the same benefits as other urban pa

16、rks and garden spaces, but without taking up the much-needed land. In the summer, rooftop gardens prevent buildings from absorbing heat from the sun, which can significantly reduce cooling bills. In the winter, gardens help control the heat that materials like brick and concrete release so quickly,

17、leading to savings on heating bills. Rooftop vegetables and herb gardens can also provide fresh food for city settlers, making their diets healthier. Rooftop gardens are not only something everyone can enjoy but also a smart environmental investment.21.The underlined word “emits” in the second parag

The attraction is located in Xian, in west Chinas Shanxi Province.Whats special?The terracotta Army is the buried army of Qin Shi Huang, an ancient Chinese emperor. These ancient sculptures were

21、built and buried over two thousand years ago near the city of Xian. They were discovered in 1974 by farmers digging a well looking for underground water. Over a thousand terracotta warriors and horses have been uncovered since then. Each warrior is made of clay (泥土). They are around two meters tall.

22、 The sculptures are so detailed that it is possible to guess the age, rank and personality of each one. None of the soldiers are the same.The best time to visitThe Terracotta Army is an indoor attraction, which is not likely to be affected by weather, so it can be visited all year round.As the Terra

23、cotta Army Museum is one of the must-visit attractions in China, it is crowded most of the time.

24、ry, cold and the least comfortable, and its also the worst season for air quality, but its also low season.Travel style: private, group or independent?A private tour means a lot of flexibility and you will be well taken care of by a private guide and driver.

28、a family tour B. a tourist groupC. travel on your own D. a private tourCFrom the first days of nursery school to the first days of college, parents and children are faced with feelings brought about by separation. Children of all ages may experience some anxiety about managing on their own. Young ch

29、ildren are still struggling to control their impulses (冲动) and may need a parents presence to feel secure. Older children leaving home may experience their own anxiety about managing on their own due to homesickness.Childrens protests (抗议) about parents leaving them in a new situation often take the

30、 form of crying, which causes parents considerable concern. Generally, childrens protesting behavior around separation gets the most attention. At times, a different point of view may arise between parents and teachers about the best way to handle the situation. Teachers may think a child - 7 -will

31、be fine if the parent just leaves, while a parent may see the child as needing her presence. These roles are sometimes interchanged.Although it is the apparent upsets that get the most attention, when observing pre-school groups one can see the various ways children deal with the feelings aroused by

32、 separation. Some children deal with the situation by removing themselves from the group. In a recent observation, a little girl removed herself from the activity but continued to watch carefully everything that was going on.In another group, a more obvious separation scene took place. The mother se

33、emed clearly prepared to stay while the boy joined the group on his own. He seemed most competent until his mother suddenly decided to leave. At that point the child broke down completely, crying pitifully - different from the formerly competent boy.In situations like this one, mothers always wonder

34、 why their own child is not able to master separating from them as other children do. But the real point here is that separation is a developmental step which children deal with in different ways. When children dont openly cry and protest, it doesnt mean they are not struggling to master the same fe

35、elings, each in his or her own way. It just means they express their feelings in a different way.28.How will children feel when they are separated from their parents?A.

39、iently behind a parked bus is a driverless or autonomous vehicle(AV)? Will this robot car be able to understand what you mean when you flash your lights or madly wave your hands? Its sensors could decides that its only safe to overtake when there no oncoming traffic at all. On a busy road at school

40、home time, this may be never leading to increasingly angry passengers and increasingly angry driers queuing behind.And how will a robot car driving out from a T-junction into oncoming traffic be able to make the necessary eye contact with a human driver? These safety-first robot cars could become vi

41、ctims of their own politeness and end up being bullied and ignored by aggressive, impatient humans. This, at any rate, is one of the conclusions to be drawn from research carried out by Dr Chris Tennant of the psychological and behavioral science department at the London School of Economics. His Eur

42、ope-wide survey finds that nearly two-thirds of drivers think machines wont have enough common sense to interact with human drivers. And more than two-fifths think a robot car would remain stuck behind our parked lorry for a long time.“If you view the road as a social space, you will consciously neg

43、otiate your journey with other drivers. People who like that negotiation process appear to feel less comfortable engaging with AVs than with human drivers,” says Mr. Tennant in his report. Of course, humans are always skeptical about new - 9 -technologies of which they have little experience. That s

44、kepticism usually decreases with usage, however. And even many skeptics accept that emotionless AVs could cause fewer accidents than we humans, with our tendency to road anger, tiredness and lack of concentration. A statistic often repeated is that human error is responsible for more than 90% of acc

45、idents. But 70% of the 12,000 people Mr. Tennant and his team interviewed agreed that: “ As a point of principle, humans should be in control of their vehicles.” An even greater proportion-80%-thought an autonomous vehicle should always have a steering wheel.32.According to the text, an autonomous v
