三、阅读理解（分二节，共35分）
第一节、阅读选择（30分）
A
Scientists said many years ago that the Earth is getting warmer and warmer. Now they find something new in
学科网（北京）股份有限公司cities! In the US they find that some cities become very hot in summer. For example, the temperature at the top of
many buildings goes up to 50℃ when it is 27℃ in the streets!
China also has the same kind of problem. Every year people build factories or houses on fields. When people
become richer, they buy more cars. And then people need more new roads. All these make cities hotter.
It isn’t easy to stop these. So people are thinking about other ways. Some city planners(规划者) think we should
plant more trees on both sides of roads, because trees make the temperature lower. So we should have more trees in
our parks and gardens. We should also paint the outside of buildings white. If we do so, buildings won’t become so
hot.
But people are still cutting down forests. This makes the problem worse. If we go on like this, we can’t live on
Earth any more.
26. Why does the writer talk about China?
A. There are more factories in China.
B. China has the same kind of problem.
C. Cities in China are the hottest in the world.

Men began to make maps of the world hundreds of years ago. But there was always something wrong in
early maps, because people didn’t know much about the world then. They even
thought the Earth was flat（扁平的）.
Some people might think the Earth was like a ball, but they could not be
sure. And most people at that time would laugh at them when they said the
Earth was a ball. About 500 years ago, people learned about the truth. Captain Magellan sailed(航行) his ships
学科网（北京）股份有限公司west. But he came back home from the east. He sailed around the Earth. Captain Cook also sailed west and came
home from the east.
Both of the captains drew maps on their trips. These maps helped other people a lot. And then people could
make better maps because they learned more and more about the world.
Before space travel began, our maps already(已经) looked really good. Now people can take photos of the Earth
from space. These photos show the Earth in a new way. People are making maps of the world better and better.
29.Why was there always something wrong in early maps?
