This suggested that Earth39。s water might have e from inside, driven to the surface to form the oceans, by geological activity. I had a pretty hard time making others believe it, he said. But thinking about the fact that you may be the first person to see something for the first time doesn39。t happen very often. When it does, it39。s amazing. Lesson 3: A little luck goes a long way Years of planning went into a recent achievement in space travel. The European Space Agency39。s Philae, a robot landing craft, met up with Comet 67P, which was 480 million kilometres away. The trip from Earth by Philae had taken ten years! The scientists had no idea what the surface of the et would be like. If the landing failed, it would be impossible to get information from the spacecraft. Twenty years of work would have been wasted. When Philae tried to land, it bounced（彈起） away from the et39。s icy surface twice. Luckily, however, Philae landed successfully and began sending information back to Earth. （1）Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg left college because____________.

Now, when you go to a certain shopping mall, you can enjoy its free WiFi there. When you want to take a taxi, you can book one with your phone. In fact, all these can be seen as the basic parts of a smart city. The idea of a smart city was brought up by US pany IBM in 2010. Generally, a smart city is a city that uses digital technologies such as the Internet to improve city planning, save money and resources, and make our life convenient. How smart can a city be? Here are great examples that we can learn from. In 2009, Dubuque became the first smart city in the US. The city used smart water meters to take the place of traditional water me tens. They can detect （探測(cè)） water waste and leakage （泄漏） and send data to let the house owner know. The same system is used for other city resources like electricity and natural gas. In this way, people know how they use their resources and are glad to help reduce waste. Santander in Spain also gives us a look at the future. If people point a phone toward a nearby bus stop, the phone immediately shows all bus lines that serve the stop as well as their arrival times. The government organized a research team and provided an App （應(yīng)用程序） that collects data on almost everything: light, temperature, and the movements of cars and people. Opening the App near a supermarket provides immediate information on special offers.（1）The underlined word convenient is closest in meaning to ______. A.usefulB.normalC.suitableD.easy（2）Compared with traditional water meters, smart water meters do better in ______. A.cleaning waterB.supplying waterC.saving waterD.producing water（3）The example of Santander shows the use of smart systems in aspects （方面） EXCEPT ______. A.businessB.health careC.traffic controllingD.public transportation（4）What39。s the main idea of the passage? A.Digital technologies help improve city planning.B.Smart cities will make our future life better and smarter.C.Smart cities are very mon in both Dubuque and Santander.D.Spain and the US take the leading position in building smart cities.【答案】 （1）D（2）C（3）B（4）B 【解析】【分析】文章大意：文章主要對(duì)智能城市進(jìn)行了基本介紹，又通過(guò)迪比克和桑坦德的例子介紹了智能城市為生活所帶來(lái)的便捷。 （1）猜測(cè)詞句題。由語(yǔ)句Generally, a small city is a city that uses digital technologies such as the Internet to improve city planning, save money and resources 可知，總的來(lái)說(shuō)，小城市就是使用數(shù)碼科技例如互聯(lián)網(wǎng)去提高城市計(jì)劃，節(jié)省金錢(qián)和資源。由此可推知，節(jié)省金錢(qián)、能源，可以使我們的生活更加輕松便捷。easy 意為“輕松的”，符合題意。useful 意為“有用的”，normal 意為“普通的”，suitable 意為“適合的”，均不符合題意。故正確答案為D。 （2）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文中語(yǔ)句This way, people know they use their resources and are glad to help reduce waste 可知，通過(guò)這種方式，人們就可以知道他們使用的資源并愿意減少資源的浪費(fèi)。由此可知，智能水表可以在節(jié)約水資源方面做的比傳統(tǒng)水表更好。save water 意為“節(jié)約水資源”，符合題意。故正確答案為C。 （3）細(xì)節(jié)理解題。A項(xiàng)，由第四段第四句 Opening the App near a supermarket provides immediate information on special offers 可知，在超市旁邊打開(kāi)這個(gè)應(yīng)用程序，可以馬上推送特價(jià)商品的信息。由此可推知，智能系統(tǒng)在商業(yè)（business）中有所應(yīng)用。B項(xiàng)，health care 意為“健康管理”，文章沒(méi)有提及。C項(xiàng)，由第四段第二句 If people point a phone toward a nearby bus
