[解题导语]城市热岛效应往往会让城市的温度升高,空气恶化,尤其是在夏季。
其主要原因是,大多城市缺少树木,并且路面多被黑色沥青覆盖。
洛杉矶市在路上铺设一种灰色涂料CoolSeal,它可以反射阳光,从而降低城市的温度。
1.D 解析:
细节理解题。
从第三段第二句“ItwillhelpAngelinossavemoneyduringthesummer,whenairconditioningsendspowerbillssoaring.”可知,在夏季,使用空调使电费飞涨,说明人们开空调较多。
空调可以使室内凉快,但向室外排放的却是热量。
2.A 解析:
从第二段最后一句“Toprotectpublichealth,cityofficialsaregoingtomakethecitycooler.”可知,夏季时,为保护公众健康,城市官员们要让城市凉快起来。
3.C 解析:
推理判断题。
从第三段可知,路上铺上灰色涂料后,城市的温度降下来,人们使用空调的频率会降低,用电量会减少,电费也随之减少,同时空气的污染也会减少。
这样人们的生活成本会降低,并且居住地会变得舒适。
4.D 解析:
主旨大意题。
通读全文可知,洛杉矶在路上铺设CoolSeal,它足一种灰色涂料,可以反射阳光,从而降低城市的温度。
