题文
阅读理解. Mayor Boris Johnson Monday outlined plans to make London "the cleanest, greenestcity on Earth" by the 2012 Olympics and called for commitments from other world cities
at a climate change conference. Leaders of the world's 40 largest cities are meeting in
Seoul this week for a summit on combating global warming -- the third to be held since
2005.
"What we should do in Seoul is agree that we will stop the endless addiction of
mankind to the internal combustion engine (内燃机)," said Johnson. He said at a press
conference the world's cities consume 75 percent of the world's energy and produce
80 percent of the emissions which cause climate change. "The problem of our planet is
an urban problem," Johnson said.
He said the British capital wants to use the Olympics "to drive the greening and the
improvement of our city" and noted that London is committed to reduce carbon dioxide
emissions by 60 percent by 2025.
Johnson said the key measure was being taken to solve problems relating to housing
and commercial buildings, which accounted for 70 percent of carbon dioxide emissions
in London. This involved retrofitting (翻新) -- installing lagging -- in large numbers
of public buildings.
Johnson proclaimed himself a "passionate cyclist" and said he would push ahead
with cycle superhighways around London.
London's air quality problem, he said, was caused by vehicle emissions from 8,300
worn and used diesel (柴油) buses, which could be replaced by low-carbon vehicles.
In addition, there were also 32,000 taxis running on diesel fuel, which could be replaced
by electric vehicles.
Johnson said there would be a few programs in the next few years to produce a
"cleaner, greener" bus for the city. "The age of the diesel bus has got to be over in
London."1. Which would be the best title for the passage?______A. The third summit on global warming

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解. Mayo.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。日常生活类阅读
日常生活类阅读的概念：
日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。
日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：
【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
