Our cities have never been denser, taller, or busier than they are now, and with that, comes the constant battle for land. But if we look at aerial images of any city center, we can quickly spot plenty of unused space — the rooftops.
So what can we use this precious resource for? In a growing number of high-density cities, some of it is dedicated to recreation — everything from bars and pools, to soccer pitches and running tracks can now be found atop skyscrapers. But when a rooftop offers access to sunlight, there are two more obvious candidates for its use - agriculture and solar power.
Green roofs have been growing in popularity for more than a decade, and in some cases, growing in scale too. Green roofs can provide a habitat for birds and insects in an otherwise hostile environment.
Cities can be several degrees warmer than the surrounding countryside. Green roofs come with the added benefit of mitigating the dreaded urban heat island effect. Trees and green spaces can absorb shortwave radiation, and use it to evaporate water from their leaves — a kind of ‘double cooling’ effect.
With food security and urban nutrition ever-higher on the agenda for the United Nations, there’s also a worldwide movement of using green roofs for hyper-local food production. In regions with suitable climates, hundreds of different vegetables, fruits, and salad leaves can be grown on rooftops.
But what about solar power? With so many cities now stopping using fossil fuels, and the costs of solar panels dropping dramatically, PV systems have become the ‘go to’ option for generating distributed power in built-up areas. And, even with standard commercial panels, the energy gains are dramatic. It is estimated that rooftop PV systems could generate almost 40% of electricity demands nationwide.
There’s no doubt that in both cases, a network of ‘productive rooftops’ could benefit the local community by supplying a portion of a necessary resource — either food or electricity — while also reducing their environmental burden. But is one better than the other?
This was the question posed by researchers from MIT and the University of Lisbon in a recent paper in the journal Cities. Focusing on the rooftops of a mixed-use neighborhood in Lisbon, they carried out a Cost-Benefit Analysis. Starting with existing data on everything from installation costs and resources used, to carbon footprint and yield, they modelled the impact that each installation would have on the local community over a period of 50 years.
And by looking at it that way, they concluded that for Lisbon, the use of rooftops for food production could yield significantly higher local value than solar PV energy generation. Of course, this is very site-specific. There is no one-size-fits-all solution to make cities more sustainable, and anyone who tells you otherwise is massively over-simplifying a complex issue. Now, all I hope is that some of those decision makers start using it.
58. According to the passage, green roofs don’t make a difference to ______. A. medicine B. agriculture C. electricity D. ecology 59. What does the underlined sentence mean in the last paragraph ? A. Lisbon is the perfect targeted city for researchers.
B. In another city, the opposite conclusion can be drawn. C. The conclusion about Lisbon can apply to all other cities. D. It doesn’t make sense to install rooftop PV systems in Lisbon. 60. The author writes this article in order to ___________. A. instruct decision makers what to do B. inform us of the rise of urban rooftops
6
C. predict two fields where we can use rooftops D. persuade us to make cities more sustainable
C
It is a psychological strategy that all parents will be familiar with: instead of scolding an misbehaving child, focus instead in rewarding them for good behaviour.
Now the idea is well received outside the nursery, with implications for everything from recycling clothes to policing.
Consumers end up with piles of unwanted clothes. Every year in the UK, 300,000 tonnes ends up in landfill — 235 million individual items.
Now however, apps such as ReGain, Regive and Stuffstr are making it simpler — and more worthwhile — for people to return their unwanted clobber.
The ReGain app can be used to find one of 20,000 drop-off points. In return, the diligent consumer earns rewards such as discount coupons for high street retailers. Stuffstr works in partnership with John Lewis to help people get cash in return for unwanted items from the chain. “Possibly the one prediction that we economists get right is that if you incentivise (激励) a behaviour, you will get more of it,” says Dr Matthew Levy, a lecturer in economics at the London School of Economics.
He cites research, including his own, showing that financial incentives encouraging regular exercise, stopping smoking and losing weight effectively promote healthy behaviours and that there is no backlash when the incentives are removed.“If anything, the incentives can be used to jump-start a healthy habit that keeps going,”he says.
In the four months after its launch, the ReGain scheme received almost 17,000 parcels containing 47 tonnes of used clothes and shoes, of which 95% could potentially be reused, according to its founder Jack Ostrowski.
“We need to find a way to influence behaviour, and discount coupons help,” he says. The platform is also working with brands and retailers to find ways to divert used clothes from landfills and into the production of new clothes, he adds.
Other reward schemes have had success in encouraging behavioural change.
When police in Canada issued“positive tickets”— coupons for free food or movie tickets — to reward good behaviour among young people, they reported an almost 50% drop in youth-related service calls.
“My officers would say‘In the old days we’d drive up in the police car and the kids would run away from us, now they run to us’.”
In a similar venture, Hull city council have announced plans to launch a digital reward token — the HullCoin — that can be earned by volunteering and spent at local retailers.
Elsewhere, a study on the recruitment of health workers in Zambia found that highlighting economic incentives during the recruitment process caused future employees to be more motivated and task-focused.
“Obviously different groups are motivated by different factors,” says Ostrowski. “For some, the‘feel good’factor is enough, and for others, that reward stimulus is required.” 61. Dr Matthew Levy might agree that______.
A. there is an undesired effect when the incentives are removed B. economists always make some predictions to convince people
C. used clothes would be recycled via incentives, otherwise in landfill D. financial incentives are the key to people’s getting rid of bad habits
62. The benefits of financial stimulus are mentioned EXCEPT ______. A. increasing the sales of clothing and food B. young people’s behaving well in public
7
C. leading to people’s disgust at smoking D. future employees’ concentrating on tasks
63. It can be inferred from the passage that___________. A. ReGain helps consumers get rewards from John Lewis B. ReGain has the biggest share in the 20,000 drop-off points C. ReGain has the absolute advantage over Regive and Stuffstr D. ReGain plays a positive role in making for recycling clothes 64. What can be the best title? A. Use carrots, Not sticks B. The magic of reward coupon C. The better you are, the more you’ll get D. Positive or Negative
D
As time went on, Philip’s deformity was accepted like one boy’s red hair and another’s unreasonable obesity. But meanwhile he had grown horribly sensitive. He never ran if he could help it, because he knew it made his limp more noticeable. He stood still as much as he could, with his badly shaped foot behind the other. Because he could not join in the games which other boys played, their life remained strange to him; Sometimes they seemed to think that it was his fault if he could not play football, and he was unable to make them understand. He was left a good deal to himself. He had been inclined to talkativeness, but gradually he became silent.
The biggest boy in his dormitory, Singer, took a dislike to him, and Philip, small for his age, had to put up with a good deal of hard treatment. About half-way through the term there was a game called Nibs. It was a game for two, played on a table or a form with steel pens. Soon nothing was seen but boys playing this game, and the more skilful acquired vast stores of nibs. But in a little while Mr. Watson made up his mind that it was a form of gambling, and forbade the game. Then he ordered all the nibs in the boys’ possession be handed in. Philip had been very skilful, and it was with a heavy heart that he gave up his winning; but his fingers itched to play still, and a few days later, on his way to the football field, he went into a shop and bought a pennyworth of J pens. He carried them loose in his pocket and enjoyed feeling them. Presently Singer found out that he had them. Singer had given up his nibs too, but he had kept back a very large one, called a Jumbo, which was almost unconquerable, and he could not resist the opportunity of getting Philip’s Js out of him. Though Philip knew that he was at a disadvantage with his small nibs, he had an adventurous disposition and was willing to take the risk; besides, he was aware that Singer would not allow him to refuse. He had not played for a week and sat down to the game now with a thrill of excitement. He lost two of his small nibs quickly, and Singer was jubilant, but the third time by some chance the Jumbo slipped round and Philip was able to push his J across it. He crowed with triumph. At that moment Mr. Watson came in. ‘What are you doing?’ he asked.
He looked from Singer to Philip, but neither answered.
‘Don’t you know that I’ve forbidden you to play that game?’
Philip’s heart beat fast. He knew what was coming and was dreadfully frightened, but in his fright there was a certain exultation. He had never been swished. Of course it would hurt, but it was something to boast about afterwards. ‘Come into my study.’
The headmaster turned, and they followed him side by side. Singer whispered to Philip: ‘We’re in for it.’
Mr. Watson pointed to Singer. ‘Bend over,’ he said.
Philip, very white, saw the boy quiver at each stroke, and after the third he heard him cry out. Three more followed. ‘That’ll do. Get up.’
8
Singer stood up. The tears were streaming down his face. Philip stepped forward. Mr. Watson looked at him for a moment.
‘I’m not going to beat you. You’re a new boy. And I can’t hit a cripple. Go away, both of you, and don’t be naughty again.’
When they got back into the school-room a group of boys, were waiting for them. They set upon Singer at once with eager questions. But he did not answer. He was angry because he had been hurt.
‘Don’t ask me to play Nibs with you again,’ he said to Philip. ‘It’s jolly nice for you. You don’t risk anything.’
‘I didn’t ask you.’ ‘Didn’t you!’
He quickly put out his foot and tripped Philip up. Philip was always rather unsteady on his feet, and he fell heavily to the ground. ‘Cripple,’ said Singer.
For the rest of the term he tormented Philip cruelly, and, though Philip tried to keep out of his way, the school was so small that it was impossible; he tried being friendly and jolly with him; he abased himself, so far as to buy him a knife; but though Singer took the knife he was not placated. Once or twice, driven beyond endurance, he hit and kicked the bigger boy, but Singer was so much stronger that Philip was helpless, and he was always forced after more or less torture to beg his pardon. It was that which rankled with Philip: he could not bear the humiliation of apologies, which were wrung from him by pain greater than he could bear. And what made it worse was that there seemed no end to his wretchedness; Singer was only eleven and would not go to the upper school till he was thirteen. Philip realized that he must live two years with a tormentor from whom there was no escape. He was only happy while he was studying and when he got into bed. And often there recurred to him then that queer feeling that his life with all its misery was nothing but a dream, and that he would awake in the morning in his own little bed in London. 65. Why did Philip put his badly shaped foot behind the other? A. Because he could maintain a balance. B. Because he fell into that particular habit.
C. Because he had a strong desire to fit in with others. D. Because he wanted to escape any reference to it.
66. It can be safely inferred about the game Nibs that _______. A. the game amounted to much as to Mr Watson B. the game was very fashionable among the boys
C. the game was the only way for Philip to socialize with others D. the game favored those who were the most patient and skilful
67. According to the passage, which is the right order about the following events ? a. Singer challenged Philip to the game Nibs. b. Mr Watson took away all the boys’ nibs. c. Singer tripped Philip over on purpose. d. Singer was beaten by Mr Watson bitterly. e. Philip couldn’t help but submit to Singer. A. b-a-c-d-e B. b-d-a-c-e C. b-d-a-e-c D. b-a-d-c-e 68. Which of the following can best describe the character of Philip? A. Fragile and frustrated. B. Depressive but strong-willed. C. Talkative and adventurous. D. Aggressive but independent. 69. What does the underlined sentence show?
9
A. Mr Watson showed sympathy for Philip. B. Mr Watson discriminated in favor of Philip. C. Mr Watson looked down upon Philip. D. Mr Watson expected none of Philip.
70. What can we learn from the passage about Philip?
A. He didn’t intend to make up with Singer. B. He felt inferior and left out.
C. He was negative about his future in the end. D. He didn’t take pleasure in studying. 第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）

Ants: master cooperators
Millions of ants live together in a colony, but they don’t compete, get confused, or become disorganized. They behave in an amazing orderly manner at all times. Some scientists refer to ants as ‘super-organisms’ because they live in such highly organized societies that work together to survive. The way ants live and work together has made them one of the most important creatures on the planet.
Ants, like bees, belong to a class of eusocial insects. Eusocial insects are broken into groups within their community, and each group has a special job to do depending on the needs of the community. There are three basic groups in an ant colony: queens, soldiers, and workers. Queens are the largest ants, and their only job is to reproduce—they lay all of the eggs that will eventually become soldiers and workers. Soldiers are responsible for protecting the colony and finding new places for nests. Worker ants have many jobs within the community, including caring for the eggs and young ants, hunting for food and maintaining the nest.
Some scientists are studying how ants can lead to a better understanding of labor issues, social class, and the use of nature resources in human communities. Ants have had millions of years of practice in working together to survive and grow. For a colony to function successfully, ants have to cooperate, from which people can learn a lot. Researchers hope that gathering information about how ants live together in communities can help people learn to cooperate and compromise with each other.
However, others argue that there are fundamental differences between ants and humans that mean human societies are unlikely ever to attain ant-like levels of collaboration. For example, ants in a colony don’t compete with each other. When they are short of food in the colony, some worker ants automatically become ‘feeder’ ants and feed others with the food in their stomach, regardless of their usual job. When the food supply is replenished, they become worker ants again.
In addition, ants are able to work together without a leader giving them directions. Despite their names, queen ants are not leaders. Instead, ants find out what they need to do from their sense of smell. Research on harvester ants pass each other, they pick up a chemical smell which tells them what the other ant is doing. The number of ants they pass doing a particular job determines what they need to do. It is a form of communication, but unlike human communication it has no content; it is just based on numbers.
While ants undoubtedly have a great deal to teach us about organization and the structure of networks, those searching for a greater understanding of human behaviour and morals may need to look somewhere.

Today from Huawei P10 I now consider homework as a source of conflict in my house. Sometimes all I think about when I am at work is my son’s homework.

Millions of Chinese parents roar disapproval at doing homework with kids, after a post strikes a chord with them. In response to it, three provinces have banned schools from setting out parental homework.
I think it’s unnecessary for parents to do so. Doing homework with kids brings bad results, as opposed to doing both parties favors. The more involved in kids’ homework parents are, the more dependent on them the kids are, which will deprive kids of their self-reliance ability as well as independent thinking. What’s worse, not only does it multiply the risk of homework-connected argument but also it puts heavy pressure on kids mentally.
No memory is more painful than that of my primary school, when my mother accompanied me when I did my homework. I was overwhelmed by frustration and insecurity in that once my homework failed to live up to my parents’ expectations, what awaited me was nothing but a scolding, which would trigger a bitter argument.

M: Would you like to go to my friend’s wedding with me?
W: To tell you the truth, I really can’t go anywhere because I’m going to prepare for my final exam tomorrow. Text 2
M: I can’t believe they raised ticket prices. We were students, and now we have to pay the same amounts as everyone else? This is ridiculous.
W: It’s too bad that they stopped giving us a discount, but what can you do? Getting upset won’t change it. Text 3
W: I really like your new haircut. You look very handsome.
M: Thank you. Yeah, I really needed a more professional look. Besides, having long hair was great in winter, but it was terrible in summer. Text 4

W: There are potato chips all over the sofa again. If you’re not going to take care of it, let’s get rid of it.
M:No way. This is my favorite place to sit. It’s got such classic look. W: Yeah… kind of like an old dog. Text 5
M: Do you want to go to see a movie around lunch today? I’ve got two free tickets.
W: Uh… let me see. I got a dental appointment in the morning until eleven, then I’m free until six tonight.
M: Great. See you at noon. Text 6
W: I love my job. Everyone I work with is cool, and our bosses are friendly too. I tell you, it is all about job satisfaction. Coffee?
M: Sure. Yeah, this company is great. I like the fact that we don’t have to wear suits on Fridays. It makes things a little more relaxing.
W: Yeah, these jeans are super comfortable. If only they’d let us wear T-shirts. Hey, thanks for inviting us to your house last weekend.
M: No problem. It’s nice to enjoy some time away from the office for once. Am I right? Hey, we need to get more coffee from the storage room. It’s next to the bathrooms down the hall. W: Let’s go. Text 7
M: We need to have everything out of our house for the upcoming repairs before the first of the next month.
W: Oh, I thought they weren’t going to start until April 15th. What are we going to do with everything.
M: Well, most of the large furniture, such as the sofas, chairs and tables, is going into our garage.
W: What about the other stuff? And where are we going to stay? A hotel?
M: We can move the beds, the TV, and the kitchen stuff down into our basement suite. And we’ll be moving in there for the next two months. The carpets, lamps, and pictures can be stored in the closet upstairs.
W: Sounds good. We can start this weekend, after we get back from my parents’ place. M: This is a great deal for the money we’re paying. Text 8
M: Long time no see. You must be busy lately. I heard you were changing jobs.
W: I was going to leave my job, but they promoted me instead. At first I was excited, but now I think I made the wrong decision. M: Why is that?
W: Since my pay raise, they have been making me work longer hours.
M: That’s why I work for myself. I set my own schedule, and I don’t answer to anyone. You can always come work for me selling cars.

W: I should have become a doctor like my father. They are much more respected than lawyers. M: Well, I respect you. You know what? You should plan a trip for the summer. It will give you a chance to relax.
W: I would like to, but I’m saving up all my vacation time for Christmas.
M: That’s too bad. How much longer do you think you will stay with your firm? W: I signed a two-year agreement which ends in the spring of 2020. M: Well, at least you still have you health . cheers. W: Cheers. Text 9
W: I’m going on a trip to Toronto, and I heard that sometimes you have to pay extra money for services.
M: Yes, it is our way to show appreciation after receiving good service.
W: Oh, I thought it was something people did to make themselves look rich. So how much extra should I pay?
M: If you are in a taxi , it is around 10 percent to 15 percent of the fare.
W: I won’t be needing a taxi. My company has arranged a driver for me, and the office shouldn’t be too far from the hotel.
M: That’s good to hear. At restaurants you pay 15 percent to 20 percent extra. Most people just pay around 15percent, though. W: What if I get really bad food?
M: In that case, you can speak to the manager. They might even give you a free meal. But you should still pay extra, because it’s not the server’s fault.
W: Ok. Thanks for your help. I don’t have to give you any money, do I ? M: Ha-ha. No, my service is always free. Text 10
Harry Houdini was born in Erik Weisz, in the country of Haungary. He changed his name because he admired two magicians, a Frenchman named Jean Houdini, and the American magician Harry Keller. Houdini became interested in the performing arts at a very young age. At nine, he performed in a circus, and he was promoted as ‘the Prince of the Air’. In 1891, he became interested in magic and began performing card tricks, calling himself ‘the King of Cards’. Unfortunately, he was never considered more than an average magician. It was not until he started experimenting with escape acts that he became fully successful. In 1900, he gave a performance to English police at Scotland Yard, where he escaped in front of them. He began to increase the difficulty of his acts. ‘The King of Escapes’ used ropes, chains, and special jackets. He also encouraged people to think of new situations he could escape from. He escaped from being buried alive, hung upside down in a water tank, and from a metal box that was lowered into the East River where he almost died. Sadly, one day in 1926, he was hit unexpectedly in a stomach, and he later he died from his injuries at the age of 52.
