More and more people move from the countryside to big cities. Does this development bring more advantages or disadvantages to the environment?
高分范文及解析

Ø urban heat island effect n. 城市热岛效应
Ø metropolitan adj. 大都市的
Ø wreak havoc on v. 对…造成威胁
Ø contaminant n.[C] 污染物
Ø amass vi. 聚集
Ø be saturated with adj. 充斥着
Ø migrate vi. 迁徙
Ø covert vt. 使转变
Ø greenery n. 绿色植物

As a matter of fact, the urban area teeming with the sea of people fails to alleviate, or even worse, fuels the urban heat island effect. This is mainly beca
