Imagine walking through an ancient city, then climbing a gate tower to take in a wonderful view of the city and its more than 600-year-old walls. You can hear the city’s heartbeat in the air. This is the Ancient City of Pingyao in Shanxi Province, a place that should definitely be on your travel route if you enjoy history or ancient architecture since its origins can be traced back to more than 2,700 years ago.

Located in the center of Shanxi Province, Pingyao is the hometown of Jin merchants, a group of merchants who actively dominated (支配) a booming commodity market throughout China for more than 500 years, especially during the Ming and Qing dynasties. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949, the city’s agriculture and manufacturing industries developed rapidly. Following China’s reform and opening-up in the 1980s, Pingyao struggled with the transition from a managed economy to the current market-oriented economy. During this time, the city government sought out new ways to break through this economic bottleneck.

Finally in the winter of 1997, opportunity came knocking. Through the efforts of the city government, Pingyao earned its place on the UNESCO World Heritage list, which caused the entire world to take notice of the city.

Since the city’s fame has risen, locals in Pingyao have deepened their understanding of the conservation efforts preserving the historical relics in their hometown. Meanwhile the city administration has continued to upgrade itself through a strategy that follows the pillars of “conservation, entrepreneurship, development and protection.”

Currently, the city is focused on establishing a sustainable industry that will enable it to continue to grow while also protecting its relics and introducing them to the world.

Thailand’s capital Bangkok is both attractive and wonderful, a city of glass towers and concrete buildings crowded with nearly 10 million people. The ground beneath is spongy(松软多孔的) and moist. Imagine a brick resting on top of a birthday cake. That’s Bangkok-and it’s sinking into the Earth at an alarming rate.

Thailand’s disaster specialists have been warning of this coming disaster for years. One expert has said he’s worried about Bangkok resembling Atlantis. Another previously told Global post that the city will be under five feet of water by 2030. The latest estimates suggest that Bangkok is now sinking as fast as two centimeters per year in parts of the city. The predictions for 2100 are even more terrible. By then , Bangkok will be fully submerged and unlivable.

Like global warming, which will accelerate the city’s submersion by raising the sea leavel, Bangkok’s sinking problems are repeatedly shrugged off. But the monsoon season, currently underway, tends to bring this crisis to mind. A nasty storm can suddenly turn Bangkok’s streets into gushing streams. Sewers overflow, taxis move through dirty water and, occasionally, kids can pick up displaced fish.

Anond Snidvongs, director of the Southeast Asia Regional Research Center, predicts the city’s outskirts will be the first to go. Parts of the shoreline ebyong Bangkok are already liend with pumps that make noises and help to transform invading seawater. They don’t always work. During heavy rains, salt water flows in the streets of the city.

Bangkok is swallowed up a little more each day. Experts tend to offer two solutions. The first is to pu up a massive seawall that could cost nearly $3 billion-nearly 1 percent of Thailand’s current GDP. The second option is to give up entirely and move the capital to higher ground.

1.Why is Bangkok sinking into the earth?

A. Its buildings are too heavy.

B. It has an overlarge population.

C. Its underground is too loose.

D. It is resting on top of a lake.

2.What is the most likely meaning of the underlined phrase “shrugged off” in Paragraph 3?

A. ignored

B. valued

C. agreed

D. misunderstood

3.What information does Paragraph 4 express?

A. The optimism and wisdom shown by the city people.

B. The present serious situation Bangkok is faced with.

C. The weakness of the pumps to transform water.

D. The huge power produced by the surrounding seawater.

4. What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Bangkok is disappearing

B. The removal of Bangkok

C. Thailand’s capital needs a seawall

D. An attractive city under water

Is there link between humans and climate change or not?This question was first studied in the early 1900s.Since then,many scientists have thought that our actions do make a difference.In 1997,the Kyoto Protocol explained our role in the Earth's changing atmosphere and set international limits for gas emissions from 2008 to 2012.Some countries have decided to continue these reductions until 2020.More recently,the Paris Agreement,struck by nearly 200 countries,also aims to limit global warming.But just now how much warmer it will get depends on how deeply countries cut carbon emissions.

This is how much temperatures would rise by 2100 even if nations live up to the initial Paris promises to reduce carbon emissions;this rise could still put coastal cities under water and drive over half of all species to extinction.

To meet this minimum goal,the Agreement requires countries to tighten emissions targets every five years.Even this increase could sink some islands,worsen drought and drive a decline of up to a third in the number of species.

This is the most ambitious goal for temperature rise set by the Paris Agreement,after a push by low-lying island nations like Kiribati,which say limiting temperature rise to 1.5℃ could save them from sinking.

This is how much temperatures have risen since the industrial age began,putting us 40% of the way to the 2℃ point.

The baseline here is average global temperature before the start of the industrial age.

1.It can be concluded from paragraph 1 that　　　　 .

A. gas emissions have been effectively reduced in developed countries

B. humans have made continuous efforts to slow down global warming

C. the problem of global warming will have been quite solved by 2020

D. the Paris Agreement is more influential than the Kyoto Protocol

2.If nations could only keep the initial promises of the Paris Agreement,what would happen by the year 2100?

A. The human population would increase by one third.

B. Little over 50 % of all species would still exist.

C. Nations would not need to tighten their emissions targets.

D. The Agreement’s minimum goal would not be reached.

3.If those island nations not far above sea level are to survive,the maximum temperature rise,since the start of the industrial age,should be　　　　　　 .

A. 0.8℃　　 B. 1.5℃　　 C. 2℃　　 D. 3.5℃
