Ⅱ.阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。

What will the city of the future look like? No one knows for sure, and making predictions is a risky business. But one thing is certain — they are going to get bigger before they get smaller. In the future, care for the environment will become very important as earth's natural resources run out. We will use lots of recycled materials, such as plastic, aluminum, steel, glass, wood and paper, and we will waste fewer natural resources. We will also have to rely more on alternative energy, such as solar and wind power. All this seems certain, but there are plenty of things about city life in the future which are not certain.

To find out what young people think about the future of urban life, a teacher at a university in Texas in the United States asked his students to think how they would run a city of 50,000 people in the year 2025. Here are some of the ideas they had： Garbage ships. To get rid of garbage problems, the city will load huge spaceships with waste materials and send them towards the sun, preventing landfill and environmental problems.

Batman Nets. Police will arrest criminals by firing nets instead of guns.

Forget smoking. No smoking will be allowed within a future city's limits. Smoking will be possible only outside cities, and outdoors.

Forget the malls. In the future all shopping will be done online, and catalogues will have voice commands to place orders.

Telephones for life. Everyone will be given a telephone number at birth that will never change no matter where they live.

Recreation. All forms of recreation such as cinemas, bowling, softball, concerts and others, will be provided free of charge by the city.

Cars. All cars will be powered by electricity, solar energy or wind, and it will

be possible to change the colour of cars at the flick of a switch. Telesurgery. Distance surgery will become common as doctors carry out operations from thousands of miles away, with each city having its own telesurgery outpatient clinic. Holidays at home.
