A real-wrld study by researchers at NTU Singapre has revealed that the applicatin f cl paint catings in cities can help pedestrians feel up t 1.5 degrees Celsius cler, making the urban area mre cmfrtable fr wrk and leisure.
Cl paint catings cntain additives that reflect the sun's heat t reduce surface heat absrptin and emissin. They have been regarded as a ptential slutin t cl dwn the urban area and cmbat the Urban Heat Island effect, a phenmenn in which urban areas experience warmer temperatures than their utlying surrundings.
Nw, NTU researchers have cnducted a pineering real-wrld study t cmprehensively evaluate hw well cl paint catings wrk in reducing city heat.
T carry ut their real-wrld experiments, the NTU researchers selected fur rectangular buildings that created tw “street canyns”——narrw streets lined by buildings. One canyn, r “cl canyn” was cated with cl paints n the rfs, walls, and rad pavement, while the ther canyn remained as it was as a “cntrl” fr the experiment. Using envirnmental sensrs, the NTU team mnitred the cnditins in the tw canyns ver tw mnths, which included air mvement,
surface and air temperature, humidity, and radiatin, t see hw well the cl paint catings wrked in reducing city heat.
The researchers fund that during a 24-hur cycle, the cl canyn saw up t a 30%reductin in heat released frm the built-up surfaces, resulting in the air temperature in the cl canyn being cler than the cnventinal canyn by up t 2°C during the httest time f the day, at arund 4 pm. As a result, pedestrians in the cl canyn can feel up t 1.5°C cler. The NTU research team als fund that air temperature in the cl canyn was lwered because less heat was absrbed by and stred in the building walls, rfs, and rads, which wuld subsequently have been released t either heat up the surrunding air r the building's inside.
With glbal warming, peple will increasingly lk fr ways t stay cl. The study shws hw cl paint catings can be a strategy t reduce the Urban Heat Island effect in future.

10．What is ne ptential benefit f using cl paint catings in cities?
A. Increasing air quality levels. B. Imprving pedestrians' cmfrt.

Fr thusands f years, humans have raced t be the first t climb a peak, crss a frntier, r dcument a new species r landscape. Nw in sme cases, peple are racing t be the last.
In recent years, a grwing industry has been stimulated by climate change ——last-chance turism. Accrding t Ec Sustainable Slutins, a UK-based rganic recycling and waste prcessing cmpany last-chance turism is a kind f turism geared tward seeing the last f smething due t climate change. As temperatures and water levels rise, this culd mean seizing the last chance t see the Great Barrier Reef, an Arctic glacier and a remte island that is sinking.
As millins f turists rush t imperiled destinatins, sme are taking advantage f the increasing demand t spread envirnmental awareness. One turist spt, the Sea f Ice in France, pened an exhibit in 2021 t educate visitrs n glaciers and climate change. This educatinal push seems t be having an impact, as a 2023 survey shwed that 80% f the visitrs wuld try t learn
mre abut the envirnment and hw t prtect it while 77% said that they wuld reduce their water and energy use.
Hwever, the last-chance turism industry may becme kind f ur cncern. As mre and mre peple fld int these areas in a panic t see them befre they are gne, they in fact cntribute t the increased greenhuse gas emissins and ver-turism, leading t their destructin. Just as many schlars put it, last-chance turism is a paradx(悖论).
Althugh turists may acknwledge the brader risks and imprtance f climate change, it's even mre imprtant t cnnect the respnsibility f the individual turism t the future f ur planet. It's nt just abut understanding the need t stp climate change; it's even mre imprtant t avid making it wrse.
12．What is last-chance turism primarily driven by?
A. Adventure seeking. B. Cultural explratin.
C. Envirnmental awareness. D. Histrical preservatin.
13．What des the underlined wrd “imperiled” in paragraph 3 mst likely mean?
A. Develped. B. Endangered. C. Deserted. D. Preserved.
14．What is suggested in addressing the negative impacts f last-chance turism?
A. Prmting cultural preservatin effrts.
B. Spreading awareness abut climate change.
C. Reducing individual cntributins t climate change.
D. Encuraging mre turists t visit imperiled destinatins.
15．Which f the fllwing can best describe last-chance turism?
A. It's a stne t kill tw birds. B. It's a duble-edged swrd.
C. It's a life jacket in the strmy sea. D. It's a slutin nce and fr all.
