    When you think of a national park, you generally picture fresh air and wild animals, right? Well, now you're going to have to add tea shops and something called "the Tube" to your definition, because London, England has signed up to be the first "National Park City."

London was established by the Romans around 2,000 years ago and has been continually inhabited (居住于) since then. In all that time, however, nobody had the idea to replace all the parks with big box stores or high buildings, which means London already has a much lower urban density (密度)than most of the worlds cities. Nowadays about a third of the city is green space,

In July 2019, London announced its willingness to become the world’s first National Park City. Now the city is moving toward the goal of achieving 50% green space by the year 2050 by connecting and expanding public parks, greening up unused parking lots and the private yards of existing and new houses, fixing some green roofs on existing buildings and even cutting holes in fences for wildlife to pass through.

"Inspired by the aims and values of our precious rural national parks, the London National Park City is basically about making life better in the capital through both small everyday things and long-term strategic thinking," Daniel Raven-Ellison, who began the campaign to make London a National Park City six years ago said in a press release. "We've been doing that in London for centuries, which is why London is so green and diverse. "

London will have a much easier job achieving this type of green transformation than more densely-urbanized cities like Paris and New York, which have 10% and 27% greenspace, respectively. But that doesn't mean it's not possible——the National Park City Foundation hopes to employ 25 more cities in addition to London by the year 2025. Glasgow, Scotland and Newcastle upon Tyne in northeast England are both currently considering becoming National Park Cities.

1.What makes London more likely to become a national park city than other cities?

A.Its smaller population. B.The government’s efforts.

C.Its less dense urbanization, D.Its citizens’ great support.

2.Where can we find the data on London’s measures to achieve its goal?

A.In Paragraph 1. B.In Paragraph 2.

C.In Paragraph 3. D.In Paragraph 4.

3.What is Daniel Raven-Ellison trying to talk about in the fourth paragraph?

A.London’s long-term strategic thinking.

B.The significance of London’s campaign.

C.The effects of national parks on London.

D.The resources of London’s green space.

4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A.Trying to be a national park city is turning new trend.

B.National park cities are springing up around the world.

C.It is so easy for London to become a national park city.

D.National park cities are making improvements to our life.

 

1.C 2.C 3.B 4.A 【解析】 本文为说明文。文章就英国伦敦已经签约成为第一个“国家公园城市”为话题,介绍伦敦市民为实现这一目标而努力,同时其他城市也考虑成为国家公园城市。 1.细节理解题。根据第二段中的nobody had the idea to replace all the parks with big box stores or high buildings, which means London already has a much lower urban density (密度)than most of the worlds cities. Nowadays about a third of the city is green space(没有人想到要把所有的公园都换成大型商店或高楼大厦,这意味着伦敦的城市密度比世界上大多数城市低得多,如今城市的三分之一是绿地)和最后一段London will have a much easier job achieving this type of green transformation than more densely-urbanized cities like Paris and New York, which have 10% and 27% greenspace, respectively.(与巴黎和纽约等人口密度更高的城市相比,伦敦实现这种绿色转型要容易得多,巴黎和纽约的绿化面积分别为10%和27%),可判断出,伦敦的低密度城市化是其优势。故选C项。 2.推理判断题。根据第三段中的by connecting and expanding public parks, greening up unused parking lots and the private yards of existing and new houses, fixing some green roofs on existing buildings and even cutting holes in fences for wildlife to pass through.(通过连接和扩展公共公园,绿化未使用的停车场和现有和新建房屋的私人庭院,在现有建筑上固定一些绿色屋顶,甚至在栅栏上开洞让野生动物通过)可知,第三段列出伦敦为实现目标采取了很多措施。故选 C 项。 3.推理判断题。根据第四段中的the London National Park City is basically about making life better in the capital(伦敦国家公园城的基本宗旨是让首都的生活更美好)可判断出,第四段旨在说明项目的意义。故选B项。 4.推理判断题。根据最后一段中的the National Park City Foundation hopes to employ 25 more cities in addition to London by the year 2025. Glasgow, Scotland and Newcastle upon Tyne in northeast England are both currently considering becoming National Park Cities.(国家公园城市基金会希望,到2025年,除了伦敦之外,还能再入选25个城市。苏格兰的格拉斯哥和英格兰东北部泰恩河畔的纽卡斯尔都正在考虑成为国家公园城市)可推断出,越来越多城市想成为国家公园城市,这将成为一种趋势。故选A项。

    We had two dogs, Lucky and Lily Bit. Lucky loved to find ways to leave the confines ( ) of her indoor living routine, which made her a masterful escape artist. Lily Bit, on the other hand, did exactly as she was told, never straying, always staying close to home... except when she came under the influence of Lucky.

Whenever the two got out together, they could be seen out of sights often staying away for hours. More often than not, they’d arrive home near suppertime, covered in mud and leaves and smelling to high heaven from their afternoon outing in the woods.

I remember one such occasion when they’d once again mysteriously escaped, except this time, they returned clean and no worse for wear. It wasn’t until a few days later that we learned why. My wife ran into our neighbor Carl who lived a few houses down from us.

“I saw your two dogs the other day,” Carl said with a smile,

“Oh, yes? I’m so sorry. They’d been so good lately, so it was such a surprise when they got out. I sure hope they didn’t cause any trouble.” my wife replied,

“Oh, no, no trouble at all. Did you have any idea where they went?”

“No,” my wife answered.

“They attended my dog’s funeral (葬礼)” Carl said sadly.

“What?” Ann exclaimed, “Oh, no. I didn’t know Toby had died.

“Yep, it died a couple days ago. I was burying him in the back lot when your two dogs came running up. They sat down not far from me while. I finished burying him, then they left.”

“Wow that’s amazing! ” my wife replied. “Toby was Lily Bit’s father, you know. ”

“No, I didn’t know that,” Carl replied, “but I guess that explains why she felt like she needed to be there. She had to say her final goodbye.”

1.What words can best explain the meaning of the word “straying” underlined in Para. 1?

A.Wandering away. B.Staying still

C.Shouting loudly. D.Disobeying impolitely.

2.What difference between Lucky and Lily Bit is suggested in the first paragraph?

A.Their abilities were different. B.Their hobbies were different.

C.Their personalities were different D.Their physical features were different.

3.What would generally happen to the two dogs after they got home from outside?

A.They got more united. B.They looked in a mess.

C.They smelled nice as usual. D.They got willing to do as told to.

4.What is the author’s purpose of writing the text?

A.To show his respect for dogs. B.To be in memory of his dogs.
