there，the explorers discovered that the moon was full of underground cities.Words failed to express their surprise when they spotted so many “moon people”．The “moon people” felt even more surprised.“Why，” they asked，“are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space？”H．G.Wells could only imagine a travel to the moon.In 1969，human beings really left their footsteps on the moon.People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon.However，the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one.A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.Underground systems are already in place.Many cities have underground car parks.In some cities，such as Tokyo，Seoul and Montreal，there are large underground shopping areas.The “Channel”，a tunnel connecting England and France，is now complete.But what about underground cities？Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems，called “Alice Cities”．The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats，offices，shopping，and so on.A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.Supporters of underground development argue that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space.The space，they say，can be used for farms，parks，gardens，and wilderness.H.G.Wells’ “moon people” would second it.Would you?语篇解读　本文主要说的是人类对地球地下的开发和利用。1．The explorers in H．G.Wells’ story were surprised to find that the “moon people” ________.A．knew so much about the earthB．understood their

solar dome is a necessary part of underground citiesD．more underground systems will be in place in 2016解析：　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段最后一句A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole

up解析：　标题归纳题。本文讲述了人类对地球地下的开发和利用，故标题为：Building down，not up。答案：　DⅢ.完形填空Have you ever flown on an airplane？Before you left，you__1__everything you would need for your__2__in a suitcase.Most suitcases that
