a. big cities facing big disasters b. big disasters in the future c. the increase of natural disasters d. solutions to natural disasters57. what problem should be settled now in london? a. how to protect the citys property. b. where to build its flood defences. c. how to use the thames barrier to protect the city. d. how to improve the function of the old flood defences.58. which of the following measures cant solve the heat wave disaster in paris? a. putting up new types of buildings with a covering of bamboo. b. having airconditioners installed in elderly care homes. c. forbidding the city to build “flower tower”. d. encouraging architects to design new types of buildings.59. the major threats to shanghai are _. a. increasing population and coalfired power stations b. rising sea levels and typhoons c. extremely high temperature and rising sea levels d. extra demands on energy consumption and typhoons60.the purpose of the passage is _. a. to tell us how to protect the big cities b. to give advice on how to defend natural disasters c. to explain what causes flood and heat waves d. to warn us of the increasing natural disasters in big cities(b)riding school:you can start horse-riding at any age. choose private or group lessons any weekday between 9 a.m. and 8:30 p.m.(3:30 p.m. on saturdays). there are 10 kilometers of tracks and paths for leisurely rides across farmland and open country. you will need a riding hat.opening hours: monday through friday: 9:00 a.m. 8:30 p.m.phone: (412)3966754 fax: (412)3966752sailing club:our young sailors course leads to the stage 1 sailing qualification. youll learn how to sail safely and the course also covers sailing theory and first aid. have fun with other course member, afterwards in the clubroom. there are 10 weekly two-hour 1essons (tuesdays 6:00 p.m. 8:00 p.m.). opening hours: tuesdays: 6:00 p.m. 8:00 p.m.phone: (412)3966644 fax: (412)396 6644diving centre:our experienced instructors offer one-month courses in deep-sea diving for beginners. there are two evening lessons a week, in which you learn to breathe underwater and use the equipment safely. you only need your own swimming costume and towel. reduced rates for couples.opening hours: monday and friday: 6:30 p.m. 8:30 p.m.phone: (412)3966312 fax: (412)3966706medical center:the staff of the medical center aim to provide convenient and comprehensive medical care to students and staff of the university. the center is well equipped and the staff here are trained to deal wit h a broad range of medical problems. both female and male doctors as well as nursing staff are available for consultation. also, all kinds of medicines are sold here and are cheaper for students than other drugstores.opening hours: 24 hour from monday to sundayphone: (412)396-6649 fax: (412)3966648watersports club:we use a two-kilometer length of river for speedboat racing, and water-skiing, a beginnerscourse consist s of ten 20-minute lessons. you will learn to handle boats safely and confidently, but must be able to swim. the club is in a convenient central position and is open daily from 9 a.m to 4 p.m, with lessons all through the day.opening hours: monday through friday: 9:00 a.m. 4:00 p.m.phone: (412)3966899 fax: (412)396689061. if you want to swim and enjoy activities which are fast and a bit dangerous, you should join . a. watersports club b. diving centre c. sailing club d. riding school62. if you want to experience a new activity in the countryside in the mornings, you may fax . a.
