2017高考英语阅读理解解析版汇编（4） 阅读理解训练 (2015·山东省威海市二模) British planning experts are heading to China to advise on building cities that do not damage the environment. They will address mayors on the need to avoid U．S. Model by building dense(稠密的) cities with lowcarbon buildings and good public transport. Their visit follows a report warning that the roadbased U．S. Model could make climate change impossible to control. Europe's denselypopulated cities, with strong public transport links, are held up as an example for China to follow. By good planning and spending a little more, livable new cities could be built with lowcarbon infrastructure(基础设施). In China many institutions are taking the climate more seriously than before and the traveling group from Britain's Town and Country Planning Association will meet officials from the Chinese government's economic research agency in a workshop on lowcarbon buildings. They will also meet officers in fastgrowing Shenyang, which has more than six million inhabitants(居民). On another day they will present their ideas at the National Academy. Several of China's major cities suffer heavy traffic jams. Some of their leaders are now looking for new ideas to make cities more denselypopulated, while the mayors of some fastgrowing cities are hoping to build in a less energyconsuming way. |
