    A team of over 30 Chinese surveyors left the base camp at Mount Qomolangma for a higher spot on its journey to the peak on Wednesday as part of the country’s mission to remeasure the height of the world’s highest mountain.

The remeasurement of the peak’s height is a part of China’s latest large-scale scientific survey of Qomolangma. Preparation of the project was started in early March, with 53 surveyors from the First Geodetic Surveying Brigade (大地测量旅) getting stationed near Qomolangma to carry out adaptive climbing and training in other technical skills, and they are going to the survey on the top of the mountain.

To ensure the accuracy of the measurement, and to work it in a more scientific way, experts from the Chinese Academy of Surveying and Mapping, the Shaanxi Bureau of Surveying, and the China Geological Survey were invited to assist in the technical design and planning of the project from the beginning.

The technical innovation and breakthrough applied in the latest survey include the application of the BeiDou-3 Navigation Satellite System and advanced domestic surveying and mapping instruments.

The Chinese government has conducted six large-scale surveys and measurements on Qomolangma in the past few decades; it had successfully measured and announced the height the mountain in 1975 and 2005. Chinese mountaineers and researchers climbed Mount Qomolangma in 1975 to determine its height and concluded that the rock height of the peak was about 8,848.13 meters, and in 2005, the summit measured 8,844.43 meters (29,017 feet).

    Smart cities promise to bring better lives, faster transport, cleaner air and lower crime, all through the intelligent use of connected technology, said experts, and after huge investment in the field, China is leading the way.

“China’s smart cities market increases about 30 percent year-on-year in 2018, and all the provinces have begun development and construction for smart cities, with more to follow,” said an expert.

“Although most cities have started a smart city project, there is no globally unified thinking on the concept and operation of smart cities,” said Franco.

Alibaba is now involved in dozens of pilot projects across China, with its open AI (人工智能) platform Tianqing for the ET City Brain system officially launched in September. Set up by its cloud computing subsidiary (子公司), the Brain looks to make the city “think” through AI and cloud computing technologies, and help make the best of public services in real time.

Since introducing the technology, Hangzhou’s traffic jam has fallen from the fifth-worst in China in 2016, all the way to 57th place this year. “Now our experiments are mostly for government use, but we truly expect our open AI platform to enter more areas and help citizens live, work and entertain better,” said Hua.

In McKinsey Global Institute recent report Smart cities: Digital solutions for a more livable future, they find cities can use smart technologies to improve some key quality life by 10 to 30 percent — numbers that translate into lives saved, fewer crime incidents, a reduced health burden, and carbon emissions.

1.What can we say about the smart city?

A.Its concept has not been accepted by people.

B.It can be achieved only by lots of investment.

C.The worldwide standard for it has been established.

D.Its progress in China is among the best in the world.

2.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 5 refer to?

A.Traffic jam. B.Traffic flow.

C.AI platform. D.Public services.

3.Hangzhou is mentioned as an example to show that _______.

A.its traffic problem has been settled

B.the city has become more intelligent

C.its public services have greatly improved

D.it has made achievements in smart city construction

4.What is the best title for the text?

A.Smart Cities are on the Way

B.Outline of the Future Smart Cities

C.Hangzhou’s Construction of Smart Cities

D.Alibaba Contributes More to Smart Cities

    The first thing I can tell you about Thabo, my South Africa guide, was that he is the world’s worst driver. From the airport to the heart of the city, he did 100 km per hour, bypassing lorries, motorbikes and taxi-vans crowed with people. The second thing was that he knew everybody and everything about Cape Town. This was good for me.

On the first day, Thabo took me to the suburbs with unpronounceable names — ORanjezicht — from where you can watch the sun go down on Africa. The next day we went to Cape Flats, the run-down township where the buildings were made of cardboard and rusty (生锈的)iron. It was truly vast — nearly a million people live here, side by side. Skinny dogs slid out of the way as Thabo zoomed along roads of mud and rotting rubbish. Some people waved, others stared. Children ran barefoot by the car.

Later that night we walked around the busy Victoria, Cape Town’s most fashionable area. The contrast from the township could not be greater: the smells of cooking rose from the kitchens — Asian, French, Italian. The bars and restaurants were packed, and I soon found out why. Cape Town is a paradise for gourmets (美食家), seafood-lovers and people like me, who just like eating. We went into a charming little pubs, and Thabo told me I couln’t leave Cape Town without trying some Cape seafood, so I did. It’s delicious.

On my final morning, we spent an hour sitting outside a cafe. Then we were driving again, experiencing the diverse landscape — green valleys. It was a great way to say goodbye to a place I knew only too briefly. I promised myself, and Thabo, that I would be back.

1.Why was Thabo considered the worst driver at the beginning?

A.He was a real African guide.

B.He seemed to drive fast riskily.

C.He ignored any vehicle passing by.

D.He greeted whoever he knew while driving.

2.What is the author’s impression of Cape Flats?

A.It is a beautiful area.

B.It is a lovely country.

C.It is an old dirty town.

D.It is a fashionable city.

3.What ddi the author enjoy doing in Victoria?

A.Tasting some tasty sea-food.

B.Driving fast along muddy roads.

C.Observing the sun go down on Africa.

D.Visiting the buildings made of cardboard.

4.How did the author feel when he left Cape Town?

A.Excited. B.Uncaring.

C.Content. D.Disappointed.

Last semester, my roommates and I shoot a film to observe the 70th anniversary of our motherland. The film was made of solo performances. As one of the solo singer, I practiced very hard for it, but two girls designed a dance to enrich the film. Beside, our English teacher joined us, provided us with lots of help.
