Birds making their homes in boxes. The 9, 500-square-metre Augustenborg Botanical Garden may look just like any other well-organized park but theres a difference. It lies on the roofs (屋顶) of industrial and office buildings in the city of Malmo in Sweden.Green roofs are not a new invention. And now they are getting popular again. The common roofs of a modern city have endless black surfaces with no life or water. Perhaps thats why a garden on a roof becomes such a perfect choice for more and more people.Green roofs are not just pretty. They also help to moderate the city temperature. The high temperatures on common roofs in the summer can make top floor flats uncomfortably hot. What is more, they play a part in making the cities hotter than the countryside around them, causing the urban heat-island effect. On a green roof, however, with its plants and water, temperatures change only a little, as they do in a park. This can greatly cut the costs of heating and cooling in the building below.Also, a green roof takes in rain water, and protects the city drainage (排水) system. And small animals and birds can make their homes on it. Thanks to this, the city may become part of nature, rather than something completely separate from it.While the cost of building such a roof can still be higher, it can be cheaper in the long term as a result of energy savings. And wouldnt it be wonderful to be able to walk out into a garden high above the citys noise and traffic, whether youre at school or in an office or just at home in a ten-floor block?（1）With the example of Augustenborg Botanical Garden, the writer wants to explain _. A . how wildlife is protectedB . what a green roof is likeC . how to organize a good parkD . what to do with a spare roof（2）The underlined word moderate in Paragraph 3 is the closest in meaning to _. A . raiseB . checkC . recordD . control（3）Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in Paragraph 4? A . A green roof is alive.B . A green roof stops pollution.C . A common roof is noisy.D . A common roof increases the cost.（4）The purpose of the passage is to _. A . discover the problems with green roofsB . introduce the change of green roofsC . show the amazing beauty of green roofsD . describe the advantages of green roofs二、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共1分)5. （1分）配对阅读：上栏是不同人的生活需求，下栏是七个不同的景点，请为不同人选择相应的景点。其中有两项是多余选项。 _Liang and Wang, both teachers, are going to take their summer holidays at some beautiful seasides.
