B A city is rising from the waters of the Indian Ocean.In a lagoon )just 10 minutes by boat from Male,the Maldivian capital,a floating city,big enough to house 20,000 people,is being built. Designed in a pattern similar to brain coral,the city will consist of 5.000 floating units including houses,restaurants,shops and schools,with rivers running in between.Residents start to move in by early 2024,and the whole city is due to be completed by 2027.The project is not meant as a wild experiment: it's being built as a practical solution to the reality of sea level rise. Containing 1.190 low-lying islands,the Maldives is one of the world's weakest nations to climate change.Eighty percent of its land area is less than one metre above sea level,and with sea level projected to rise up to a metre by the end of the century,almost the entire country would go under the water. The units are constructed in a local shipyard,then pulled to the floating city.Once in position,they are joined to a large underwater concrete frame which is fixed to the seabed on telescopic ( steel poles that let it gently flow with the waves. Koen Olthuis,founder of Waterstudio,the company that designed the city,said that the possible environmental effect of the structure was assessed by local coral experts and permitted by government authorities before construction began.The aim is for the city to be -self-sufficient and have all the functions as one on land.There will be electricity powered mainly by solar energy.As an alternative to air conditioning,the city will use deep sea water cooling,which involves pumping cold water from the deep sea into the lagoon,helping to save.energy. 14.What is the purpose of building the floating city? A.To develop its tourism. B.To get more living space. C.To perform a wild experiment.D.To deal with the rising sea level. 15.What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A..The feature of the city. B.The location of the city. C.The building process of the city.D.The building materials of the city. 16.Where is the electricity mostly produced from? A.Wind energy.B.Solar energy.C.Water energy.D.Wave energy. 17.What can be learned from the last paragraph? A.The city is environmentally friendly. B.The city has no modern equipment. C The life of the city is not very convenient. D.The government authorities love the life here C High school students perform better on tests if they are in a classroom with a view of a green space, instead of a windowless room or a room with a view of built-up space,according to research from the University of Illinois Department of Landscape Architecture. It is the first to show a relationship between studying with a green view and students'performance," said William Sullivan,head of the research team."It's a significant finding that if you have a green view outside your window,you'll do better on tests."Sullivan hopes the results of their research will lead to policy changes.Changes in school design,for example,"would be a much better thing than any of the things we spend money on in secondary education today,"Sullivan said. The research included 94 students at five central Illinois high schools.Students were put in three kirds of classrooms-windowless,with a window looking out onto built-up space,or with a window looking out onto green space.Each kind of classroom had a similar size and layout.The students took part in one-on-one experiments in which they did 30 minutes of activities that included a proofreading exercise, a speech and a math exercise.Following the activities,the students were given an attention test which asked them to repeat some numbers. The findings:Students did better on both study activities and the attention test if they were in a classroom with a green view,Sullivan said. The researchers suggest their findings can help planners and policymakers improve students' well-being and learning.For example,planners can choose places for new schools that already have trees and other vegetation,or they can plant many trees in this place;architects can design classroom,dining room and hallway windows so they look onto green spaces. 18.What did the study find out about high school students? A.They like to have green plants in their-classrooms. B.They will get better grades when studying in different classrooms. C.Changes in school design will infuence their attitudes towards teachers. D.A green view through a classroom window can improve their performance. 19.What does the underlined word"significant"in paragraph 2 mean? A.Traditional. B.Important. C.Necessary. D.Early. 20.What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A.How the study was carried out. B.Why the study was different. C.The purpose of the study D.The result of the study. 21.What do the researchers think of the study? A.It has drawn public attention to education. B.It can play a guiding role in school planning. C.It has encouraged students to get close to nature. D.It needs more supporomhigh school teahers. D Scientists say they have developed a system that uses machine learning to predict when and where lightning will strike.Researchers report the system is able to predict lightning strikes up to 30 minutes before they happen within a 30-kilometer area.Lightning is a strong burst of electricity in the atmosphere. Since it carries an extremely powerful electrical charge,it can cause very deadly results.European researchers have estimated that between 6,000 and 24,000 people are killed by lightning worldwide each year.For this reason,climate scientists have long sought to develop methods to predict lightning. The system tested in the experiments uses a combination of data from weather stations and machine learning methods.The researchers developed a prediction model that was trained to recognize weather conditions that were likely to cause lightning. The model was created with data collected over a 12-year period from 12 Swiss weather stations in cities and mountain areas.The data,related to four main surface conditions:air pressure,air temperature, relative humidity (and wind speed,was placed into a uniquc machine learning algorithm () which compared it to records of lightning strikes.Researchers say the algorithm was then able to learn the conditions under which lightning happens. The researchers test-ran the system several times.They found that the system made predictions that proved correct almost 80 percent of the time."It can now be used anywhere,"the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology said in a statement. The researchers plan'to keep developing the technology in parinership with a European effort that aims to create a lighining protection program.The effort is called the European Laser Lightning Rod project.Scientists working on the project are experimenting with a laser technology that could someday control Tightning activity,transterring lighting charges from clouds to the ground.They hope that such technology can one day be used as protection against lightning strikes.Possible uses could be at stations, airports or places where large crowds gather. 22.Why was the system developed? A.To keep track of lightning deaths. B.To meet people's curiosity about lightning. C.To protect people from lightning strikes. D.To take advantage of the energy of lightning. 23.What is special about the system? A.It involves the use of a machine learning algorithm. B.It collects data samples from around the world. C.It was test-run several times before being put into use. D.Its success owes greatly to a European effort. 24.What will the researchers do in the next stage? A.Prevent the formation of lightning. B.Raise the accuracy of lightning prediction. C.Inspire the study of a laser technology.D.Get lightning striking under control 25.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.A system of Controlling Lightning B.ATheory of Using Lightning C.A Method of Forecasting Lightning D.A Model of Creating Lightning 第二节（共5小题：每小题2.5分；满分12.5分） 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 never too late to develop great study habits.However,starting to make some changes is hard.
