There was once an old wise man living on the top of a mountain. Whenever the villagers had a problem, they would climb up the mountain and ask the old man for advice.

One day a young man arrived. “Wise man,” he asked, “What makes a man truly great?”

The old man said, “Do you sincerely want to know?”

“Yes, yes!” the young man replied.

“Well,” the wise old man said to him, “Let me tell you in the form of a story.”

There was once a Greek man who suffered from a deadly disease. Knowing that he would die soon, he was the first to join the army when his country was in a battle with the enemy. Hoping to die in battle, he would fight in the front line, risking himself without any worry for his life. Finally they won the battle and he was still alive. His general (将军) was so impressed with his bravery which contributed much to the victory.

The general decided to promote him and award him with medals of bravery and honor. On the day of presentation (授予仪式), he was looking very down and sad. Curiously, the general asked him why he was so sad on a day he should be so proud. The soldier told him of his deadly disease. “How could I let such a brave soldier die?” the general thought. So the general hired the best physician and finally cured the soldier. But from that day on, the once valiant soldier was no longer seen at the front. He would always avoid danger and tried his best to protect his life.

Looking out across the city and on top of the tall buildings before you are cows. Yes, you read that right. Farm animals are eating grass on high-rise urban farms on top of high buildings in London. Elsewhere, off the coast of mainland England, against the background of extremely beautiful White Cliffs of Dover, a wonderful pod (吊舱) structure forms part of floating city. This is how we will live 100 years from now — if a group of UK experts to be believed.

Temporary housing pods, underwater cities and 3D-printed houses will also help reduce the burden of overpopulation and inner city living-space shortages. Building with their own microclimates and cities built in the skies are also among the amazing achievements of future engineering predicted by experts.

But not only today’s architects continue to advance towards the clouds, building higher and higher, as engineering advances allow, but we’ll also be headed deep below ground. Meanwhile, the future will feature city-spanning (跨城市) bridges. Want to travel to Mars quickly? No problem — the experts are predicting spaceports (宇航基地) will become common places, so future generations will be able to head over to their local station and hitch (搭顺风车) the next ride.

The predictions were heavily focused on water - based architecture and present problems such as overpopulation, global warming and rising sea levels. Using the future tech predictions, 2,000 people were then surveyed to see which of the suggestions they thought — and hoped — would become a reality by 2115. Topping the survey was super-deep basement buildings complete with hotels, restaurants, green space, swimming pools and gyms. The survey also found that one in three respondents (调查对象) considered floating sea cities — which could use solar and tidal (潮汐的) energy — as a choice for future development.

1.The first paragraph is meant to ______.

A.present the topic B.make a comment

C.give an example D.draw a conclusion

2.The second paragraph mainly talks about ______.

A.different kinds of building structures.

B.recent development of building structures.

C.means to control the increase of population.

D.future building structures helping to solve the lack of living space.

3.The underlined phrase “local station” refers to ______.

A.air station B.traveling agency

C.spaceport D.traveling destination

4.What did people surveyed consider most practical?

A.City-spanning bridges B.Deep underground buildings

C.Floating sea cities D.slightly-deep basements

On May 26, 1977, George Willig traveled to the top of the 1,350‒foot‒high World Trade Center in New York City. He did not take the lift, however. Instead, like a human fly, George Willig climbed the outside of the huge 110‒story building. His climb, which began at 6:30 am, took three and a half hours to finish.

At the top, Willig was greeted by both the police and reporters. Some of the police officers asked him for his autograph(签名). Then they wanted to put him in prison and charged him with breaking of law for climbing the building without a permit. Furthermore, the city also planned to charge him for a quarter of a million dollars. The amount, the police department reported, would pay the costs of rushing special equipment and eighty police officers in order to save him.

By the next day, city officials had re‒evaluated(重估) the situation. At City Hall, Mayor Abraham Beame hosted a news conference that turned into a ceremony in George Willig’s honor. Beame announced that the city would not punish “The Human Fly’’. Instead, he would be fined a penny for each of the 110 floors he had climbed. Instead of punishing Willig, the city treated him as a hero who attempted the impossible and met the challenge.
