As cities expand and more land is covered with concrete and asphalt, the importance of maintaining and expanding these natural oases becomes ever more apparent. Not only do they serve as recreational areas for residents, but they also play a critical role in improving air quality, managing stormwater, and providing habitats for local wildlife.One innovative approach to increasing green space within urban environments is through the development of vertical gardens and green roofs. These structures can be integrated into existing buildings, allowing for an increase in greenery without requiring additional ground space. Moreover, they help to reduce the “urban heat island” effect by cooling down the surrounding environment. Cities around the world, from Singapore to Copenhagen, have embraced this idea, turning once lifeless rooftops into flourishing ecosystems.Another trend that has emerged is the transformation of underutilized or abandoned industrial sites into public parks. Known as brownfield redevelopment, this process not only revitalizes communities by providing much-needed green space but also helps to clean up contaminated lands, making them safe for human use. A prime example of such a project is the High Line in New York City, which turned an old railway line into a highly popular elevated park, attracting millions of visitors each year.However, creating and maintaining these green spaces comes with its own set of challenges. Funding, especially, is a major concern, as the costs associated with developing and sustaining these areas can be quite high. Additionally, there is often a need to balance the interests of various stakeholders, including local residents, businesses, and environmental groups, all of whom may have different visions for how the space should be used. Despite these obstacles, many cities are finding creative solutions to ensure that their citizens have access to the benefits provided by urban green spaces.The future of urban green spaces looks bright, with technology and innovation playing key roles in overcoming the challenges faced. By continuing to prioritize these areas in city planning, we can create healthier, more livable, and sustainable urban environments for generations to come.Questions:1.What are two main benefits of incorporating vertical gardens and green roofs inurban settings?2.How does the transformation of industrial sites into public parks (brownfield redevelopment) contribute positively to communities?3.According to the passage, what are two major challenges in creating and maintaining urban green spaces?Answers:1.Vertical gardens and green roofs help to increase greenery without needing extra ground space and assist in reducing the “urban heat island” effect.2.Brownfield redevelopment provides much-needed green space to communities while also helping to clean up contaminated lands, making them safe for human use.3.Two major challenges in creating and maintaining urban green spaces include securing sufficient funding and balancing the interests of different stakeholders.Feel free to adjust the difficulty level or content based on your specific requirements!三、完型填空（15分）Read the following passage and choose the best word or phrase to fill in each blank.The 1. of the Internet has revolutionized the way we communicate and access information.

The past tense “finished” and the present continuous tense “finishes” and “finishing” are not appropriate in this context.3、In the__________(be) room, there are many books on different subjects.答案：3.be解析：此句中，the__________(be) room表示“在…的房间里”，空格处应填写be 动词的适当形式。

We can probably see the passage in _________.A. a guidebookB. a noticeC. a novelD. a newspaperBOn January 27, in order to win the new pneumonia Resistance War（抗击新型肺炎战）, the Ministry of Education issued（教育部公布）a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020. It was said that school should not start before March. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may affect(影响）children’s studies. If they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forgetwhat they have learned before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health.In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform（平台）, where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network.It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection（感染) of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve “no suspension of classes”. Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus and other knowledge popularization; at the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games,which is good for physical health at home.根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
