Question

【題目】 For many years scientists have said that the earth is getting warmer. Now they have found something new-hot cities! In the southern US, they have found that cities become very hot in summer.

China also has the same kind of problems. Every year more farming land is used for factories or offices. More housing is needed too. As people become richer, they buy more cars. New roads are needed and new car parks are built in the city centres. This all makes the cities hotter.

It is not easy to change the situation(情形). City planners say that we should plant more trees in the middle of cities. ‘Every new street should have trees on both sides,’ they say. Trees make the temperature(溫度) lower, so we should have more trees in our parks and squares. Also we should paint our roofs(屋頂) white. If we do this, they do not become so hot. Every roof in a hot and sunny country should have solar（太陽的）roof panels（板）. The electricity from these can be used to run the air conditioners in the building.

People continue(繼續(xù)) to cut down forests around the cities. This makes the problem worse. Cities are growing faster and faster. By the year 2050, 80% of the world’s population will be living in cities. If we go on like this, there will not be enough farmland to feed everyone in the world.

【解析】

本文主要講述了科學(xué)家發(fā)現(xiàn)地球在變暖�，F(xiàn)在他們找到了一些典型城市，并加以研究。在中國(guó)，住房、交通、生活、人口等諸多問題同樣也導(dǎo)致氣候變暖。城市規(guī)劃者表示，種植樹木、減少污染物排放、使用太陽能等清潔能源等，有利于改善這個(gè)問題，并呼吁全球人都參與保護(hù)環(huán)境，改善氣候變暖問題。
