根據(jù)上下文理解，應(yīng)該指地球的表面。^had 加入which或that。這樣使得planet后面的句子成為一個(gè)定語從句。 意思重復(fù)。 這里指外層空間。 rise后面不接away。 短文中這里是讓步關(guān)系，而不是并列關(guān)系。 英語表達(dá)中，當(dāng)分子是二以上的數(shù)時(shí)，分母應(yīng)為復(fù)數(shù)。 根據(jù)上下文，這句話的意思應(yīng)為:除非（冰雪)融化，否則（地球上的）生命系統(tǒng)就無法利用水。所以when在這里的意思有誤。 文中的remaining fraction 仍指水，因此不能用fewer，要用less。五、作文（20分）The Environment Protecting and Economic Developing

growing have simply built more traffic experts say building more roads is a quickfix solution that will not alleviated the traffic problem in the long land costs, increasing concern over social and environmental disruptions caused by roadbuilding, and the likelihood that more roads can only lead to more cars and traffic are powerful factors bearing down on a 1950sstyle construction program.The goal of smarthighway technology is to make traffic systems work at optimum efficiency by treating the road and the vehicles traveling on them as an integral transportation of the advanced technology say electronic detection systems, closedcircuit television, radio munication, ramp metering, variable message signing, and other smarthighway technology can now be used at a reasonable cost to improve munication between drivers and the people who monitor traffic.hPathfinder, a Santa Monica, Californiabased smarthighway project in which a 14mile stretch of the Santa Monica Freeway, making up what is called a “smart corridor”, is being instrumented with buried loops in the television cameras survey the flow of traffic, while munication linked to property equipped automobiles advise motorists of the least congested routes or detours.Not all traffic experts, however, look to smarthighway technology as the ultimate solution to traffic say the hightech approach is limited and can only offer temporary solutions to a serious problem.,“Electronics on the highway addresses just one aspect of the problem: how to regulate traffic more efficiently,” explains Michael Renner, senior researcher at the worldwatch Institute.“It doesn39。t deal with the central problem of too many cars for roads that can39。t be built fast sends people the wrong start thinking “Yes, there used to be a traffic congestion problem, but that39。s been solved now because we have, advanced hightech system in place.” Larson agrees and adds, “Smart highways is just one of the tools that we use to deal with our traffic 39。s not the solution itself, just pan of the are different strategies.”Other traffic problemsolving options being studied and experimented with include car pooling, rapid masstransit systems, staggered or flexible work hours, and road pricing, a system whereby motorists pay a certain amount for the time they use a highway.It seems that we need a new, major thrust to deal with the traffic problems of the next 20 has to be a big change. is the appropriate title for the passage ? Highway Projects—The Ultimate Solution to Traffic Congestion. Quick Fix Solution for the Traffic
