believed that buildings will be able to talk to people through various sensors when the heating needs to be turned on. as a result, there will be no switches. instead, a lot of networks will appear, which can be compared to a human nervous system. in the next 30 years, buildings will be made from concrete plastics and shape-changing materials. all of them can heal themselves at that time. as architects (建筑师) are racing to develop the worlds tallest buildings, there will be a need for new kinds of elevators, through which vehicles could even travel into the buildings. german engineers have already started working on such technology called multi. by mid-century, scientists believe that buildings will be miles tall. some of them may be very large and they can function as small cities. by comparison, at present, the worlds tallest building, the burj khalifa in dubai, measures 829. 8 metres high. as the future building can rise through the clouds, their windows will be replaced by virtual screens. in this way, people can choose any view as they like. at height extremes, a london spaceport is also likely to come into being by 2048 as the space industry develops very quickly. there is a huge cost advantage going to space from as high a base as possible, so a spaceport is very likely to be over 10km and even as much as 30km, using carbon-based materials.24. how will the heating system be controlled in the future?a. through the net. b. through mobiles.c. through sensors. d. through switches.25. whats the possible advantage of multi?a. seeing the beautiful scenery. b. allowing vehicles to travel into buildings.c. connecting the earth with the space. d. making it possible to build high buildings.26. what is the best title for the text?a. be the best-buildings with carbon-based materialsb. the higher the building, the betterc. smart buildings in the next 30 yearsd. more functions, less costcplays are an important part of british culture. the west end theatre
