Unit 3 Life in the future
Ⅰ.阅读理解
[2020·南昌市重点中学高三年级段考试题]As life in cities worldwide becomes more expensive, urban designers are using modern technology to help citizens avoid traffic jams, and shorten the time needed for bus waiting and other things. Technology is also used to cut costly waste.
In Santander, a Spanish port city, parking is easy to find. As one car drives away, an underground sensor shows that a parking space is now free. 400 sensors send messages to signs on streets, and GPS devices direct drivers to the nearest available parking spaces, reducing traffic jams. Trash is collected only when the bins are full and bus stop signs show exactly when the next bus is coming. The public parks are watered only when the soil gets dry. All this is made possible by 20,000 sensors installed on buildings, street posts and even buses. They are part of the “smart city” project, launched by the University of Cantabria seven years ago.
University researchers like Luis Munoz regularly meet with locals to discuss how to make their city even smarter. “They propose their ideas and sometimes even develop them by themselves. Here, we give them the opportunity to see these ideas happen in real life,” said Munoz. For example, the university helped a woman create an app that outlines the easiest route for walking with a baby stroller. Another provides information to residents about their water consumption and sends an alarm to their phone if there is a leak.
The Santander smart project is attracting the attention of larger cities in Europe and elsewhere that are looking for smart solutions to urban problems.
1.What is the life like in Santander?
A.It is meaningful.
B.It is full of freedom.
C.It is likely to change fast.
D.It is efficient and convenient.
2.How can residents help Munoz's job?
A.By offering some original or fresh ideas.
B.By showing him around the city.
C.By installing sensors themselves.
- 8 -
D.By using as little water as possible.
3.What does the underlined word “Another” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.A university. B.A phone.
C.An app. D.An easy route.
4.What can be the best title for the text?
A.A Worldwide Problem
B.A Smart City Project
C.A Creative Researcher
D.A Trend in Urban Design
Ⅱ.七选五
[2020·昆明质量检测]Is there a best way to pack clothes? The following ideas are of great help to those who are always on the way.
Where to start?
__1__ Once you see how much you lay in front of you, be brave and reduce about a third. Because the truth is like your wardrobe, you never seem to use as much as you take.
How to deal with clothing?
Start with your shoes. Put stockings or socks inside of them to hold the shape of your shoes. Thus, you can make use of every square inch of space. Once your shoes are firmly in place, fill small gaps with very soft items. __2__
Lay out the first clothes with one end inside the suitcase and the other end dropping over the edge. Put the next clothes on top of this, but place them the other way around. __3__ In this way, you'll get another flat layer soon. Finally, one by one, fold the clothes back in.
Where to put nonclothing?
__4__ These awkward shaped items are difficult to pack. You'd better put them towards the middle to give maximum protection. Remember to double bag your toiletries (洗漱用品) kit to avoid spotting your clothes.
Top tips:
If you take belts, slip them along the inside of your case. __5__ That will take more space. Next, use the hard shape of the case to offer protection. Leave your toiletries kit in your suitcase, when you return home. It's ready for the next time you travel.
A.Don't roll belts up.
- 8 -
B.Be sure to put away socks.
C.This idea will create a flat first layer.
D.And then continue laying other clothes.
E.That will make the job a whole lot easier.
F.Lay everything you want to take with you on the bed.
G.Nonclothing items are things like books, toothbrushes and cameras.

Bethany was only 4 when her mother __16__. Five years later, her family moved to a new home and the letter, put away in the pages of a book for safe keeping, was unintentionally __17__.
She remembers unpacking and looking for the letter, and then __18__ searching through everything in the hope that it was there. “That's when I realized it was __19__ gone by now and I'd never see it again,” she said.

Dear Henry,
Some of my friends and I plan to pay a visit to the tea garden near our school this Sunday. I've learned that you are interested in Chinese tea culture, and I wonder if you could join us.
I think it will be an enjoyable experience for you to learn something about the history and development of Chinese tea culture there.①And I bet you will be impressed by the traditional craftsmanship of making tea, which includes washing the tea pots, adding tea leaves, and pouring water into the cups. And then you could taste the tea made by yourself.
I am looking forward to your reply. With best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
