What’s the greenest place in America? If you answered something like the warm sunlight of Santa Barbara, you’d be wrong. The greenest place in America has almost no sign of nature— the buildings outnumber the trees— and the air isn’t all that great. What it has is density(密度)and efficiency— the twin qualities that finally define green in the global warming time. Applying those standards,the greenest place in America is New York City— particularly,the overcrowded,overpriced island of Manhattan, which produces 30% less per-capita(人均)greenhouse gas than that of the nation.
It’s that density that makes Manhattan so green. Manhattan’s population density is 800 times the national average. Density comes with negatives,certainly— small living spaces,air pollution— but it also enables amazing efficiencies.Over 80% of Manhattanites travel to work by public transport, by bike or on foot— compared to an average of about 8% everywhere else in the country. Manhattan’s apartment buildings are far more energy-efficient than the houses in the suburbs.
What’s true of New York City is more or less true of other American urban areas, which explains why a growing part of the environmental movement now focuses on greening cities, hoping to attract more Americans back downtown. There’s an effort to make cities more sustainable(可持續(xù)的),by improving public transport,reducing air pollution and upgrading energy efficiency. But even more important, it is quite urgent to change decades of government policies that have been in favor of the suburbs,with disastrous consequences for energy,the environment and the climate.
That’s exactly the difficult point. For all the high efficiency and convenience and richness of living in a city,there are disadvantages too.New York,for example,has some of the highest childhood asthma(哮喘)rates in the U.S.
So it’s welcome news that New York has continued to push its P1aNYC scheme, a long-term program to make the city greener and more sustainable over the next decades. Recently it announced an update to the plan that includes phasing out heavy heating oils in New York City apartment buildings by 2030,to be replaced with cleaner natural gas.
1.Manhattan is considered as the greenest place in America because of its__________
A.buildings and treesB.density and efficiency
C.sunlight and natureD.transport and population
2.We can infer from the passage that___________.
A.New Yorkers have urged the city government to carry out green policies
B.the public transport and living space are quite satisfactory in New York
C.life in the countryside is more comfortable and energy efficient than that in cities
D.the significance of making cities greener is gained in promoting energy efficiency
3.The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to___________.
A.New York cityB.PlaNYC scheme
C.ManhattanD.Santa Barbara
4.The underlined part “phasing out” in the last paragraph probably means___________.
A.rapidly promoting dealing with
B.widely suggesting researching on
C.gradually stopping using
D.immediately forbidding producing
5.What would be the best title for the passage?
A.Manhattan the Greenest Place in America?
B.The Higher Density,the Greener City?
C.PlaNYC Scheme:New York City’s Future
D.Living in Cities Does Good to the Environment

The sound of a mosquito can mean trouble in many parts of the world. The bite of the mosquito can be deadly. The insects carry serious diseases like malaria. It is estimated that almost 630,000 people died from malaria and malaria-related causes in 2012, and most of these cases were in African countries.
In the United States, a group of California scientists is working to develop a more effective and less costly substance(物質(zhì))to protect people from mosquitoes. The researchers are investigating the sense of smell in mosquitoes. They found the insects use the same receptor(感受器)for identifying carbon dioxide in human breath as they do for the smell of our skin. Anandasankar Ray, who is leading the investigation, says scientists tested more than a million chemical compounds(化合物)until they found a substance called Ethyl pyruvate. He says Ethyl pyruvate makes the mosquitoes' receptor inactive. ”When we apply Ethyl pyruvate to a human arm and offer it to hungry mosquitoes in a cage, very few of the mosquitoes are attracted to the human arm because only a few of them are able to smell it out,” said Ray.
Genevieve Tauxe, a member of the research team, says it was not easy to find the neurons (神經(jīng)元)of nose cells that recognise both the smell of human breath and skin. "With the device used to examine mosquitoes, we are able to insert a very small electrode(電極)into the part of the mosquitoes' nose, where its smelling neurons are and where the smell is happening," said Tauxe.
Anandasankar Ray says a product based on Ethyl pyruvate may cost less to produce than DEFT,the most effective chemical treatment now in use. He says DEFT is too costly for most people who live in areas affected by malaria.
“Perhaps by finding smells that can attack other target receptors, we will be able to improve upon DEFT and finally have the next generation of insect behavior control products," said Ray.
1.The best title for the passage is most probably _______________________________.
A. Scientists Find New Substance to Fight Mosquitoes
B. A New Generation of DEET Has Been Developed to Kill Mosquitoes
C. Malaria一a Serious Disease Causing 630,000 Deaths
D. Ethyl Pyruvate一an Insect Behavior Control Product
2.According to the passage, Ethyl Pyruvate can_______________________________.
A. kill the mosquitoes' smelling neurons
B. cause the mosquitoes to lose their sense of smell
C. result in the inactiveness of the mosquitoes' receptor
D. make the mosquitoes uninterested in human breath and skin smell
3.Through the passage, the writer aims to_______________________________.
A. inform readers of the new development in fighting mosquitoes
B. praise the achievements made in the battle against malaria
C. introduce a cheaper product in fighting mosquitoes
D. tell the differences between Ethyl Pyruvate and DEET
4.This passage most probably appears in_______________________________.
A. the column of newspaper ads
B. the health column of a magazine
C. a textbook of medical schools
D. a collection of doctors' essays
