Now, when you go to a certain shopping mall, you can enjoy its free Wi-Fi there. When you want to take a taxi, you can book one with your phone. In fact, all these can be seen as the basic parts of a smart city.The idea of a smart city was brought up by US company IBM in 2010. Generally, a smart city is a city that uses digital technologies such as the Internet to improve city planning, save money and resources, and make our life convenient. How smart can a city be? Here are great examples that we can learn from.In 2009, Dubuque became the first smart city in the US. The city used smart water meters to take the place of traditional water me tens. They can detect (探测) water waste and leakage (泄漏) and send data to let the house owner know. The same system is used for other city resources like electricity and natural gas. In this way, people know how they use their resources and are glad to help reduce waste.Santander in Spain also gives us a look at the future. If people point a phone toward a nearby bus stop, the phone immediately shows all bus lines that serve the stop as well as their arrival times. The government organized a research team and provided an App (应用程序) that collects data on almost everything: light, temperature, and the movements of cars and people. Opening the App near a supermarket provides immediate information on special offers.（1）The underlined word convenient is closest in meaning to _. A . usefulB . normalC . suitableD . easy（2）Compared with traditional water meters, smart water meters do better in _. A . cleaning waterB . supplying waterC . saving waterD . producing water（3）The example of Santander shows the use of smart systems in aspects (方面) EXCEPT _. A . businessB . health careC . traffic controllingD . public transportation（4）Whats the main idea of the passage? A . Digital technologies help improve city planning.B . Smart cities will make our future life better and smarter.C . Smart cities are very common in both Dubuque and Santander.D . Spain and the US take the leading position in building smart cities.15. （20分）In Britain, when people meet each other for the first time, they talk about things like family, work, school,or sports.

This is especially true in East Asia, where students have come up with some interesting ways to make sure they can pass. In recent years, KitKat has been marketing itself as a bringer of good luck. Pronounced as kittokatto by the Japanese, the chocolates name is similar to the phrase kittokatsu, meaning surely winning. This certainly makes KitKat a good symbol of good luck. In your all-night revision with microwave food and highlighter pens (荧光笔) before exams, you may have forgotten to take a shower. But South Korean students wouldnt worry about that. Its believed that washing your hair could wash all the knowledge out. Around a month before exams start in Hong Kong, students in clubs, societies and classrooms will get together for superpass, or gingguo (劲过，粤语俚语). Superpass is a lot of activities aimed at helping you pass your exams with a top score. The first part is the superpass dinner, which is usually held at a Chinese restaurant. Its important that students eat pork cubes with cashews (腰果肉丁), one of the main superpass dishes. The Chinese word for cashews sounds like the word for wish to pass.（1）To have better scores, South Korean students may _ before an exam.A . take a showerB . go to the clubsC . eat KitKatD . not wash their hair（2）What is superpass in Hong Kong?A . A kind of chocolate which brings good luck.B . All-night revision with microwave food and highlighter pens.C . A lot of activities to help students get top scores in exams.D .
