(30分)AMiss White taught physics in a New York school.

She said to them, “Now I have a brother in Los Angeles. If I was calling him on the phone and at the same time you were 75 feet away, listening to me from across the street, which of you would hear what I said earlier, my brother or you and for what reason(原因)?”Tom at once answered, “Your brother. Because electricity(电)travels faster than sound waves.”“That’s very good,” Miss White answered, but then one of the girls put up her hand, and Miss White said, “Yes, Kate.”“I don’t think so,”Kate said, “Your brother would hear you earlier because when it’s 11 o’clock here, it’s only 8 o’clock in Los Angles.”26.

Now they have found something new in hot cities! In the southern US, they have found that cities become very hot in summer. For example, the city of Atlanta in Georgia has rooftop(屋顶)temperatures of up to 50℃while it is 27℃in the streets! At night, the outside of building stay so hot that the heat of the city causes storms over the city!China also has the same kind of problems. Every year more farming land is used for factories or offices. More housing is needed, too. As people become richer, they buy more cars. New roads are needed and new car parks are built in the city centers. This all makes the cities hotter.It isn’t easy to change the situation. City planners say that we should have trees on both sides. Trees make the temperature lower, so we should have more trees in our parks and squares. We should also paint(涂油漆)our roofs white. If we do this, they do not become so hot. Every roof in a hot and sunny country should have solar roof panels(面板). The electricity from these can be used to run the air conditioners in the building.People continue to cut down forests around the cities. This makes the problem worse. Cities are growing faster and faster. By the year 2015, four fifths of the population will be living in the cities. If we go on like this, there will not be enough farmland to feed everyone in the world.36. The scientists have found _________.A. there are not as many storms as beforeB.
