Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2A South Korean city designed for the future takes on a life of its ownA) Getting around a city is one thing -and then

32、theres the matter of getting from one city to another One vision of the perfect city of the future: a place that offers easy access to air travel. In 2011, a University of North Carolina business professor named John Kasarda published a book called Aerotropolis: The Way Well Live Next. Kasarda says

33、future cities should be built intentionally around or near airports. The idea, as he has put it, is to offer businesses rapid long-distance connectivity on a massive scale.B)The 18th century really was a waterbome （水運(yùn)的)century, the 19th century a rail century. the 20th century a highway, car, truck

34、century and the 21st century will increasingly be an aviation century, as the globe becomes increasingly connected by air, Kasarda says Songdo, a city built from scratch in South Korea, is one of Kasardas prime examples. It has existed for just few years. From the get-go, it was designed on the basi

35、s of connectivity and competitiveness，“ says Kasada. The government built the bridge directly from the airport to Songdo international business district. And the surface infrastructure was built in tandem with the new airport.”C) Songdo is a stones throw from South Koreas Incheon Airport, its main i

36、nternational hub(樞紐). But it takes a lot more than a nearby airport to be a city of the future. Just building a place as an international business district doesnt mean it will become one. Park Yeon Soo conceived (構(gòu)想) this city of the future back in 1986. He considers Songdo his baby. I am a visionar

37、y, he says. Thirty years after he imagined the city, Parks baby is close to 70 percent built, with 36.000 people living in the business district and 90,000 residents in greater Songdo. Its about an hour outside Seoul, built on reclaimed tidal flats along the Yellow Sea, There s a coast Guard buildin

38、g and a tall trade tower, as well as a park, golf course and university .D) Chances are you ve actually seen this place. Songdo appears in the most famous music video ever to come out of South Korea. Gangnam Style refers to the fashionable Gangnam district in Seoul. But some of the video was filmed

39、in Songdo. I dont know if you remember, there was a scene in a subway station. That was not Gangnam. That was actually Songdo, says Jung Won Son, a professor of urban development at Londons Bartlett School of Planning, Part of the reason to shoot there is that its new and nice .E) The city was suppo

40、sed to be a hub for global companies, with employees from all over the world. But hats not how it has turned out. Songdo s reputation is as a futuristic ghost town. But the reality is more complicated. A bridge with big, light-blue loops leads into the business district. In the center of the main ro

41、ad theres a long line of flags of the world. On the comer, theres a Starbucks and a 7-Eleven-all of the international brands that you see all over the world nowadays.F) The city is not empty. There are mothers pushing strollers, old women with walkers even in the middle of the day. when its 90 degre

42、es out. Byun Young-Jin chairs the Songdo real estate association and started selling property here when the first phase of the city opened in 2005. He says demand has boomed in the past couple of years. Most of his clients are Korean. In fact, the developer says, 99 percent of the homes here are sol

43、d to Koreans. Young families move here because the schools are great. And thats the problem: Songdo has become a popular Korean city more popular as a residential area than a business one Its not yet the futuristic international business hub that planners imagined. Its a great place to live. And its

44、 becoming a great place to work, says Scott Summers, the vice president of Gale International, the developer of the city. The floor-to-ceiling windows of his companys offices overlook Songdo Central Park, with a canal full of kayaks and paddle boats. Shimmering(閃爍的)glass towers line the canals edge.

45、 G) Whats happened is, because we focused on creating that quality of life first, which enabled the residents to live here, what has probably missed the mark is for companies to locate here, he says. There needs to be strong economic incentives. The city is still unfinished, and it feels a bit like

46、a theme park. It doesn t feel all that futuristic. Theres a high-tech underground trash disposal system. Buildings are environmentally friendly. Everybodys television set is connected to a system that streams personalized language or exercise classes.H) But Star Trek this is not. And to some of the

47、residents, Songdo feels hollow. Im, like: inprison for weekdays. Thats what we call it in the workplace“ says a woman in her 20s. Shedoesnt want to use her name for fear of being fired from her job. She goes back to Seoul everyweekend. MI say Im prison-breaking on Friday nights. But she has to make

48、the prison break inher own car. Theres no high-speed train connecting Songdo to SeouL just over 20 miles away.I) The man who first imagined Songdo feels frustrated，too. Park says he built South Korea aluxury vehicle, like Mercedes or BMW. Its a good car now. But were waiting for a good driverto acce

49、lerate- But there are lots of other good cars out there, too. The world is dotted withfuturistic, high-tech cities trying to attract the biggest international companies .J) Songdos backers contend that its still early, and business space is filling upabout 70percent of finished offices are now occup

50、ied. Brent Ryan: who teaches urban design at UT, saysSongdo proves a universal principle. There have been a lot of utopian (烏托井的)cities in history.And the reason we dont know about a lot of them is that a lot of them have vanished entirely. In other words, when it comes to cities r anything elseit i

51、s hard to predict the future. 36. Songdos popularity lies more in its quality of life than its business attraction. 37. The man who conceives Songdo feels disappointed because it has fallen short of hisexpectations. 38. A scene in a popular South Korean music video was shot m Songdo. 39. Songdo stil

52、l lacks the financial stimulus for businesses to set up shop there.40. Airplanes will increasingly become the chief means of transportation, according to aprofessor.41. Songdo has ended up different from the city it was supposed to be.42. Some of the people who work in Songdo complain about boredom

53、in the workplace.43. A business professor says that a future city should have easy access to international transportation.44. According to an urban design professor, it is difficult for city designers to foresee whathappen m the future.45. Park Yeon So. Who envisioned Songdo, feels a parental connec

Philadelphias new measur

56、e was approved by a 13 to 4 city council vote. It sets a new bar for similar initiatives across the county. It is proof that taxes on sugary drinks can win substantial support outside super-liberal areas. Until now, the only city to successfully pass and implement a soda tax was Berkeley, Califomia,

57、 in 2014.The tax will apply to regular and diet sodas, as well as other drinks with added sugar, such as Gatorade and iced teas. Its expected to raise $410 million over the next five years, most of which will go toward funding a universal pre-kindergarten program for the city.While the city council

58、vote was met with applause inside the council room, opponents to the measure, including soda lobbyists made sharp criticisms and a promise to challenge the tax in court. “The tax passed today unfairly singles out beverages-including low- and no-calorie choices”, said Lauren Kane, spokeswoman for the

59、 American Beverage Association. “But most importantly, it is against the law. So we will side with the majority of the people of Philadelphia who oppose this tax and take legal action to stop it. “An industry backed anti- tax campaign has spent at least S4 million on advertisements. The ads criticiz
