Ⅲ 阅读理解
A
There has been a dramatic increase in the number of natural 3
disasters over the past few years and it is assumed that global warming
and climate change could cause even more disasters in the future Some
of the world’s leading cities are facing disasters like floods and heat
waves
London
　　London’s flood defences are getting older Since 1982 the Thames
Barrier(水闸)has protected the city from the threat of flooding but it
was only designed to last until 2030 and close once every two or three
years About 26 years later the barrier now closes five or six times a year
and according to Environment Agency predictions by 2050 the barrier
will be closed on almost every tide if the problem is not addressed
　　There are 26 underground stations 400 schools 16 hospitals an
airport and 80 billion worth of property in London’s flood risk area so
large scale flooding would be disastrous
Paris
　 　 Over a six week period in July and August 2003 more than 11
400—mainly elderly people—died in France from dehydration(脱水)and
extremely high body temperature in a deadly heat wave Heat waves of
similar intensity(强度)are expected every seven years by 2050 so what
can be done to make sure such a disaster does not happen again
　 　 One solution is to have airconditioners installed in elderly care
homes But this is considered a shortterm solution as the increase in 4
demand for electricity also increases carbon emissions(排放)
In Paris the local authorities are encouraging architects to design
new types of buildings such as the buildingFlower Tower which uses a
covering of bamboo to act as a natural airconditioner
Shanghai
Shanghai is one of the fastest growing cities on Earth It has a
population of 18 million and is only 4 meters above sea level Sea levels
are predicted to rise by 20 cm within the next century
　 　 An estimated 250 000 people move to Shanghai every year in
search of work placing extra demands on energy consumption China
relies heavily on coalfired power stations but these emissions increase
temperatures and in turn warmer seas increase the risk of typhoons
