    What is the passage mainly about?

    Cities are often warmer than the countryside around them. Scientists call this effect an urban heat island. On a summer evening, the center of a large city can be several degrees warmer than nearby farmland.

    Several features of cities cause this difference. Dark surfaces such as asphalt roads and roofs absorb much of the sunlight that hits them. They store this energy during the day and release it slowly as heat after sunset. Cities also have fewer trees and less open soil. In the countryside, plants give off water vapor through their leaves, and this process cools the air around them. Finally, cars, air conditioners and factories add waste heat.

    The extra heat is more than a matter of comfort. During heat waves, it can increase the risk of illness, especially for older people. It also raises the demand for electricity, because more people run air conditioners.

    Some cities are now testing solutions. Painting roofs white or light gray helps them reflect sunlight instead of absorbing it. Planting trees along streets adds shade and cooling. Neither method can remove the effect completely, but together they can make neighborhoods noticeably cooler.

    显示答案

    答案: A. What urban heat islands are, why they happen and how cities can reduce them

    The paragraphs define the effect, give its causes, describe its problems and describe solutions.
