Could cities that float on the sea solve the problems caused by floods and provide food for the world?
Some scientists think so. The idea is already being tested and they believe that floating cities will provide more homes for a growing population, without having to use land needed to grow food. And they believe floating areas will allow more food to be grown, so that no one in the world is hungry.
In some places, cities that float on the sea are already being planned. A company in the Netherlands called DeltaSync thinks that the sea cities will save the world, with more than one in ten people living in them.
They say sea cities solve many problems the world faces in the 21st century, like not having enough land, more and more people needing homes, fossil fuels running low and the increasingly serious problems caused by floods.
DeltaSync says building in the desert is not possible because there is not enough water and that developing ways for people to live in space is still too expensive. So they believe the answer is our oceans, which cover over two thirds of the Earth’s surface. Their plans for floating areas include using algae (海藻) to produce fuel and food.
More than a quarter of the land in the Netherlands already lies underwater and scientists there have spent years trying to find ways to deal with it. In the city of Rotterdam they already have floating homes.
Bart Roeffen from DeltaSync says, “We have plans for neighborhoods including roads and, in the end, I believe we can build floating cities on the sea.”
1.Which of the following is the advantage of the cities that DeltaSync wants to build?
A.Providing more jobs for people. B.Satisfying more people’s housing needs.
C.Supplying enough water to people. D.Making travel in space possible.
2.What can we learn about the Netherlands?
A.There are floating homes in one of its cities. B.It has found many fossil fuels recently.
C.Two thirds of its land is covered by water. D.Its population is increasing quickly.
3.What does Bart Roeffen think of his company’s future plans?
A.He doubts them. B.He has no idea about them.
C.He is uncertain about them. D.He is hopeful of them.
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A.Will there be enough water? B.Is it possible to live in the desert?
C.Will sea cities save the world? D.Is it expensive to build floating cities?

A heavy rain hit a small village. The floods (洪水) started to rise. A priest (神父) was praying (祈祷) in a church (教堂). The flood was almost above his knees. A rescuer (救助者) shipped to the priest and said, “Godfather, come up or you will die.” The priest said, “No, I’m sure God will save me. You may leave for others.”
After a while, water covered his shoulder, the priest had to move onto an altar (祭坛). This time a policeman came over in a yacht (游艇) and said, “Come up or you will die!” The priest said, “No, I have to keep my church. I believe God will save me. You just go and save other people.” A moment later, his church was flooded. The priest had to hold firmly (牢固地) the cross on the top of the church.
A helicopter (直升机) was flying over him where a pilot put down a rope ladder and shouted, “Godfather, come up! This is your last chance! We don’t want you to die!” But he said firmly, “No, I have to keep my church. I believe God will save me. You just go and save other people. God will be with me.” Great flood soon came over. The priest was killed.
The priest went to Heaven (天堂) where he saw the God. He asked angrily, “God, I served you honestly, but why didn’t you save me?” The God said, “Didn’t I? The first time I gave you a ship and you refused. The second time I gave you a yacht you refused again. The third time I sent you a helicopter you still didn’t accept. So I thought you wished to stay with me in a hurry.”
In fact, the obstacles (障碍) in our life are because we are stubborn (顽固) and ignorant(无知).
