  • 第6题:

    根据下面资料,回答
    Today, people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big, noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.
    In many countries, the main reason why people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential area nearby, where the factory workers can live. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so more people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.
    In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city centre. It is here that you can see the huge skyscraper office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city centre. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.
    But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.
    In a residential area, you can see ____________.

    A.rows of houses, schools and shops
    B.many offices and factories
    C.a lot of factories and farms
    D.many houses with offices and factories

    答案:A

    Cities“Worse to Live in Than 20 Years Ago”
    One thousand people were surveyed about a range of issues which affect cities,and the re-markable findings show that life in today's mega-cities is so stressful that at least two-thirds of those currently living in big cities would like to relocate to the countryside or a small town.
    The stress of the getting from A to B in big cities is at the top of the list of problems.For many people,the daily commute to work is a source of frustration.40% of the people in the sur-vey have suffered from road rage while stuck in traffic on the way to work.The cost of public transport is also a serious problem.Many people think the price of underground and bus travel is too high and that they have to devote more than 10% of their salary to transport costs.
    The general cost of living in cities is another problem.The high property prices in most big cities put buying a property out of reach of most first-time buyers.Many young people are priced out of the housing market,and have to take in lodgers to make ends meet,or rent over-priced flats miles away from the city centre .In London,for instance,the price of buying even a one-bedroom flat is so prohibitive that many have given up even considering putting money aside for a deposit.
    Another issue facing people who live in cities is rising crime.Crime rates have rocketed in many big cities,and many say there are several dangerous no-go areas in their city.Fear of crime is on the increase-street crimes,such as mugging and assault,are now very common-and many are afraid of going out at night alone.
    Many were also concerned by the lack of green spaces and play facilities for children.Most major conurbations(有卫星城的大都市)surveyed have a far smaller number of parks and gar- dens than a generation ago.Planning permission seems to have been given for an ever-greater number of supermarkets,office developments and apartments on sites where there were previously green spaces.Many of the respondents in the survey said they felt stressed and suffocated in the city,a problem which is compounded by pollution.
    And finally,the majority of people in the survey were fed up with the constant noise pollu-lion—the roar of traffic , the sound of loud music blaring(发刺耳声)out of a neighbour's win-dow,and the constant sound of activity.It is not surprising,then,that the levels of stress-related illnesses among people who live in cities are higher than ever before .Big cities,once a mecca for ambitious people seeking fameJ and fortune,are now less and less popular among people of all ages .Perhaps the 21st century is set to be the century of the small town and the countryside.

    London has had some success in reducing pollution.
    A: Right

    But in order that we don't slip back into bad habits,let's have a look at what life was
    like 100 years ago.
    Families had between 15 and 20 children,although many babies didn't live long.
    Children suffered from lots of diseases , especially rickets(佝偻病)and scurvy(坏血病),
    which are both caused by bad diets.This is because many families were very poor and not
    able to feed their children well.
    Really poor families who lived in crowded cities like London and Manchester often slept
    standing up,bending over a piece of string,because there was no room for them to lie down.
    People didn't have fridges until the 1 920s.They kept fresh food cold by storing it on
    windowsills(窗台板),blocks of ice, or even burying it in the garden.

    Step Back in Time
    Do you know that we live a lot longer now than the people who were born before us?One hundred years ago the average woman lived to be 45.But now,she can live until at least 80.
    One of the main reasons for people living longer is that we know how to look after ourselves better.We know which foods are good for us and what we have to eat to make sure our bodies get all the healthy things they need.We know why we sometimes get ill and what to do to get better again.And we know how important it is to do lots of exercise to keep our hearts beating healthily.
    But in order that we don't slip back into bad habits,let's have a look at what life was 100 years ago
    Families had between 15 and 20 children,although many babies didn't live long.from lots of diseases , especially rickets (佝偻病)and scurvy(坏血病),which are bot diets.This is because many families were very poor and not able to feed their children well.
    Really poor families who lived in crowded cities like London and Manchester often slept standing up,bending over a piece of string,because there was no room for them to lie down.
    People didn't have fridges until the 1920s.They kept fresh food cold by storing it on windowsills(窗台板),blocks of ice,or even burying it in the garden.
    Some children had to start work at the age of seven or eight to earn money for their pai lived 100 years ago,you might well be selling matchsticks(火柴杆)(a job done by many children)or working with your dad by now.

    Life was not easy for many children living 100 years ago.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:A
    解析:
    文章第一段虽然提到现在女性的寿命要比一百年前长,但并没有提及一百年前女性是否比男性寿命要长,故选C。
    文章第二段明确介绍了人们现在比过去长寿的原因,故选B。
    文章第四段第一句说一百年前,许多孩子很小便夭折了,故选A。
    文章第四段第二句话中“… rickets and scurvy , which are both caused by bad diets.”可知,佝偻病与坏血病都是由饮食不良引起的,故选A。
    文章第五段提到,人们过去之所以站着睡觉是因为房子太小,没有躺下的空间,而非出于喜欢,故选B。
    文章第六段只是说,直到20世纪20年代人们才有了冰箱可用,但并没有说明冰箱是谁发明的,故选C。
    从文章第四段以及最后一段可以看出,一百年前,生活对于许多孩子来说都是十分不易的,故选A。

    根据下面资料,回答
    Today, people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big, noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.
    In many countries, the main reason why people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential area nearby, where the factory workers can live. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so more people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.
    In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city centre. It is here that you can see the huge skyscraper office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city centre. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.
    But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.
    In the United States many people work in the centre of a big city ______________.

    A.while living on the faraway edge of the city
    B.and live there
    C.but live in another city
    D.but live far away out of the city

    答案:A
    解析:
    细节题。根据第三段第四、五两句话“The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day.Many of them live in the suburbs of the city.far away from the industrial area and the city centre”可知A项正确。

    Cities“Worse to Live in Than 20 Years Ago”
    One thousand people were surveyed about a range of issues which affect cities,and the re-markable findings show that life in today's mega-cities is so stressful that at least two-thirds of those currently living in big cities would like to relocate to the countryside or a small town.
    The stress of the getting from A to B in big cities is at the top of the list of problems.For many people,the daily commute to work is a source of frustration.40% of the people in the sur-vey have suffered from road rage while stuck in traffic on the way to work.The cost of public transport is also a serious problem.Many people think the price of underground and bus travel is too high and that they have to devote more than 10% of their salary to transport costs.
    The general cost of living in cities is another problem.The high property prices in most big cities put buying a property out of reach of most first-time buyers.Many young people are priced out of the housing market,and have to take in lodgers to make ends meet,or rent over-priced flats miles away from the city centre .In London,for instance,the price of buying even a one-bedroom flat is so prohibitive that many have given up even considering putting money aside for a deposit.
    Another issue facing people who live in cities is rising crime.Crime rates have rocketed in many big cities,and many say there are several dangerous no-go areas in their city.Fear of crime is on the increase-street crimes,such as mugging and assault,are now very common-and many are afraid of going out at night alone.
    Many were also concerned by the lack of green spaces and play facilities for children.Most major conurbations(有卫星城的大都市)surveyed have a far smaller number of parks and gar- dens than a generation ago.Planning permission seems to have been given for an ever-greater number of supermarkets,office developments and apartments on sites where there were previously green spaces.Many of the respondents in the survey said they felt stressed and suffocated in the city,a problem which is compounded by pollution.
    And finally,the majority of people in the survey were fed up with the constant noise pollu-lion—the roar of traffic , the sound of loud music blaring(发刺耳声)out of a neighbour's win-dow,and the constant sound of activity.It is not surprising,then,that the levels of stress-related illnesses among people who live in cities are higher than ever before .Big cities,once a mecca for ambitious people seeking fameJ and fortune,are now less and less popular among people of all ages .Perhaps the 21st century is set to be the century of the small town and the countryside.

    The crime rate has remained stable in recent years.
    A: Right

    C:Not mentioned

    答案:B

    由第一段中的“ at least two-thirds of those currently living in big cities would like to relocate to the countryside or a small town”可知,在调查中,大多居住在大城市中的人想要迁居至乡村或小镇,即更小的地方。故选A。


    由第二段末句中的“Many people think the price of underground and bus travel is too high”可知,很多人认为地铁和公交的收费过高。由此可知,在调查中,很多人认为公共交通的收费并不合理。故选B。


    由第三段最后一句“In London, for instance, the price of buying even a one-bedroom flat is so prohibitive that many have given up even considering putting money aside for a deposit.”可知,因为房价太高,所以在伦敦很难买到房子。故选A。

    由第五段第二句“Most major conurbations surveyed have a far smaller number of parks and gardens than a generation ago.”可以推断,城市中的绿化区域较之以前减少了。故选A。
