二、阅读理解(每小题2分)(2018安徽改编)
Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self?driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think.
Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a “telepresence” system(远程遥控系统) —allowing users to control the heating and locks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, healthcare and government services. Around the city, escalators(自动扶梯)will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.
The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.
About 75% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. “Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener，” said Dan Hill, head of a research company.
1. According to the text, living in a “smart” city ________．
A. is not a green way
B. will be far from you
C. will soon become true
D. is completely impossible
2. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. A city of the future.
B. A meeting in Songdo.
C. A plan to build a house.
D. A report on public health.
3. Dan Hill thinks that making cities smarter is one way to ________．
A. drive people out of cities
B. control the world's population
C. develop his own company
D. solve the cities’ coming problems

Since 1989, Dave Thomas had been one of the most familiar faces on TV. He appeared in more than 800 advertisements for the hamburger chain named for his daughter in America. Even though he was successful, he remained troubled by his childhood. “He still won't let anyone see his feet, which are out of shape because he has never had proper shoes，” his daughter Wendy said in 1993 and told us that sixty?one years ago, Dave was born to a single mother. He was adopted(收养) as a baby by Rex and Auleva Thomas when he was six weeks old. 5 years later, Auleva died. Dave lived a hard life with Rex. Dave said, “Rex fed me.

A year later, after breaking with Sanders, Dave started his first Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers. With 6，000 restaurants worldwide, the chain now make 6 billion dollars a year in sales. Dave started the Dave Thomas Foundation for adoption in 1992. His foundation helps raise nearly 134，000 children for adoption, and helps make adoption more affordable.

Last Saturday, I took Peter, a student from America, to experience some Chinese cultures. Everything he experienced that day is a great attraction to him.
In the morning, Peter and I went to visit a tea museum, where he learnt a lot about Chinese tea. After that, I took him home and taught him to make zongzi. Although it was a bit difficult, he still enjoyed it. In the afternoon, we had a Chinese class, learning the history of Chinese characters. He also tried to write some characters with a Chinese brush, and he even lost himself in it.
Peter kept saying “Amazing！” all the way, which makes me really proud of our rich cultures.
