95、ree degrees compared to rural areas. Scientists say there are many reasons for this. One reason is that heat from the sun can go through many of the building materials commonly found in cities. One such material is asphalt(沥青), which is often placed on top of buildings and used to cover road surface
96、s. Recently，researchers studied ways to reduce the heat in developed areas. Scientists with the National Center for Atmospheric Research led the study. They found that painting the tops of buildings white could possibly help to cool cities. The researchers used a computer model that could tell the e
97、ffects of the suns heat. They compared the effects of black surfaces on rooftops with white roofs. They found that a city with only white rooftops could reduce the heat effect by 33%. However, white roofs could have the opposite effect in winter. That is because they have a cooling effect within bui
98、ldings. Cooler building temperatures in winter could require more energy to heat the buildings.The researchers found that some cities would be helped more than others from white roofs. This would depend on the total surface area of roofs in a city. It would also depend on the building materials used
99、 since some materials are less resistant to heat (耐热的) than others. The researchers say white roofs would work best in areas with temperatures and strong sunlight all year.42. We learn from the first two paragraphs that in summer months_A. extra heat mainly comes from citiesB. the sunlight can go th
100、rough the roofsC. it is cooler in the countryside than in cities D. building materials are commonly found in cities答案：C解析：根据第一段第一句；Large cities are known to have higher temperatures than rural areas(农村地区 )in summer months可知答案为C43. The study mentioned in Paragraph 3 is about how to_ A. carry out rese
101、arch on the effect of the sun B. develop new building materials C. make rooftops more colorful D. reduce heat in cities 答案：D解析：根据第三度第一句：Recently，researchers studied ways to reduce the heat in developed areas.可知答案为D44. According to Paragraph 4, white roofs could lead to_. A. lower temperatures within
102、 buildings in winter B. higher cost of building materials in the city C. more energy supply in summer D. larger surface area of roofs答案：A解析：根据第四段：However, white roofs could have the opposite effect in winter. That is because they have a cooling effect within buildings.可知答案为A45. Research shows that w
103、hite rooftops are effective if they are used in areas_.A. which is less resistant to heat B. with wind all year roundC. where it is warm and full of sunlightD. in need of cheap building materials答案：C解析：根据最后一段最后一句：The researchers say white roofs would work best in areas with temperatures and strong sunlight all year.可知答案为C
