Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a “smart” city like this could happen sooner than you think.
Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a “telepresence” system (远程遥控系统)— allowing users to control the heating and looks, take part in (参加) video meetings, and get education, healthcare (医疗) and government services. Around the city, escalators (电梯) will only move when someone is on them.
The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.
About 75% of the world’s population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. “Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener,” said Dan Hill, head of a research company. 43．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．A city of the future.B．A meeting in Songdo.
C．A plan to build a house.D．A report on health.
44．Dan Hill thinks that making cities smarter is one way to ________.
A．drive people out of cities B．control the world’s population
C．make more money D．solve the cities’ coming problems 45．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?
A．Future Education B．Smart Cities
C．Government Services D．Famous People
