11、is Pennsylvania city, Pittsburgh is shrinking but getting wealthier. Since 2000, its population has declined by 95,000 while its income per capita (人均) has shot up 24 percent. The trend is taking hold in many other cities, like Buffalo in New York, Providence in Rhode Island and New Orleans.Some of

12、these areas have created more high-paying jobs in energy, health care or education. Others have managed to reshape their producing industry for a new economy. Higher-paying jobs have a greater effect because they create demand for additional services. The story in Pittsburgh is very positive, and ot

13、her areas are looking at it as an example of the transformation that might be possible，”said Guhan Venkatu, who wrote an economic history of the area called “Rust and Renewal” for the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland.Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh have helped bring tech

14、 jobs and innovation(革新) to the area by sponsoring tech centers that help graduates start companies without moving to Silicon Valley or San Francisco. This has helped keep Pittsburghs educated young population growing even as the entire population in the city has dropped.Pittsburgh has more STEM (sc

15、ience, technology, engineering and math) jobs than other shrinking cities, about 80, 000 or 7% of all jobs. STEM jobs add productivity and income growth to the area. Manufacturers of high-tech medical equipment in the Pittsburgh area also have doubled employment in the last 10 years.However, some ex

16、perts question whether growing income per capita can really make up for a declining population. According to Patrick Adler, a researcher at the University of Toronto, population loss does matter if it means lower-skilled workers have fled because of a lack of opportunity. Whats more, high-paying job

17、s in education and health care can disappear if the population declines too greatly. So itd be wise to find ways to increase the population.1、In what aspect does Pittsburgh set a good example?ATransforming old energy into new energy.BCreating more well-paid jobs.CProhibiting the manufacturing.DSpons

18、oring higher education.2、How do some academic institutions help with the local economy?ABy helping to attract more talents from other areas.BBy providing much technical support to local companies.CBy hosting tech centers for local educated graduates.DBy assisting in employing a large number of educa

One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars and trucks with gas. Americans

29、wont live without cars!Most Americans would find it hard to think what life could look like without a car. However, some have realized the serious problem of the air pollution that is caused by the car. The polluted air becomes poisonous (有毒)and dangerous to health.One way to get rid of the polluted

30、 car is to build a car that does not pollute. Thats what several of the large car factories have been trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field(領(lǐng)域) has been slow.Another way is to take the place of the car engineby something else. Inventors are now worki

Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.To prevent the world from being polluted by car, well have to make some changes in the way many of us live.

A large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. Thus the problem of air pollution would become les

41、their forestland to a national park in exchange for the right to dump (傾倒) massive amounts of orange peels on a 3-hectare piece of land within the national park, at no cost. Dealing with tons of waste peels usually involved burning them or paying to have them dumped at a landfill, so the proposal wa

42、s very attractive.A year after the contract was signed, Del Oro dumped around 12,000 tons of sticky orange waste in the land. However, another juice company and rival of Del Oro challenged the deal in court, arguing that their competitor was “polluting the national park”. They ended up winning, and

43、the deal between Del Oro and the national park fell through. The 3-hectare piece of land virtually covered with fruit waste was completely forgotten.Then, in 2013, Timothy Treuer, a scientist at Princeton University visited that piece of land 15 years earlier. What he found shocked him. “It was comp

44、letely overgrown with trees and vines,” Timothy Treuer recently said, “the difference between fertilized and unfertilized areas was visually surprised us a lot! We needed to come up with some really good standards to evaluate exactly what was happening there.”To confirm that the fruit waste was resp

45、onsible for the revival of plant life, Treuer and his team spent months picking up samples, analyzing and comparing them. They found “dramatic differences between the areas covered in orange peels and those that were not. The area fertilized by orange waste had richer soil, greater tree-species rich

46、ness and greater forest coverage. In a sense, its not just a win-win between the company and the local parkits a win for everyone.”The effect the orange peels had on the land is probably not that surprising to people familiar with composting (堆肥), but what is shocking is that a judge actually called

47、 this particular example polluting the national park and stopped it from going forward. Now that Timothy Treuers study has received worldwide attention, this type of polluting is being seriously considered as a way of bringing tropical forests back to life.1、Why was the deal proposed by the ecologis

48、ts attractive to Del Oro?AIt would make farmers produce more oranges.BIt would help deal with the orange peel waste for free.CIt would increase the production of orange juice.DIt would save much space for the orange juice producer.2、What does the underlined phrase fell through” in the second paragra

49、ph?Abecame unbelievable Bfailed to happenCmade something possible Dchanged the course of an event3、What did Treuer find when he visited the land covered with orange waste?AThe peel waste was hard to break down there.BDel Oro continued dumping peel waste there.CThe peel waste enriched the soil of the
