【題目】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 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, too. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so many 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 center downtown. It is here that you can see many huge skyscrapers(摩天大樓) and 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 center. 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 and 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.

【1】Why do people move to live in cities or towns?

A．Because they can live more comfortably there.

B．Because they like noisy life better than peaceful life.

C．Because they mainly want to find work there.

D．Because they are sure of having a better life there.

【2】The underlined phrase “a residential area” means an area________.

A．where people can buy things

B．which is suitable for living in

C．where people can do business

D．which is near a city center

【3】Which of the following statement is NOT true about the business district?

A．Big companies usually have their main offices in the business district.

B．People usually work and live in the business district.

C．A business district usually lies in the city center downtown.

D．Nearly every major city has its own business district.

【4】In the United States, many people work in the center of a big city________.

A．a(chǎn)nd live there

B．but live in the suburbs of the city

C．a(chǎn)nd live in another city

D．but live in rural areas

【5】We can infer that this movement from rural to urban areas ________.

A．has been going on for more than 2,000 years

B．will surely continue in the future

C．may not continue in the future

D．has now stopped already

【題目】I am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city. If it weren't for my job I would immediately move out for the open spaces and go back to nature.

Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population lives in many tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervous as they are shut up at home all day, with nowhere to play ； their mothers feel isolated (孤立的）from the rest of the world. Strangely enough, in the past the residents(居民）of one street all knew each other, but nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don't even say hello to each other.

Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the residents of small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the exciting and important events that take place in cities. There's little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go a long way to the nearest large town. The city people who leave for the country often can't bear the stillness and quiet there.

What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off；the city gives people a feeling of isolation, and constant noise can nearly drive you mad. But one of its main advantages is that you are at the center of things, and that life doesn't come to an end at half-past nine at night. Some people have found a compromise (折中）between the two ： leave cities and move to villages within commuting(乘車往返)distance of large cities. It sounds great ！

【1】 It seems that the writer prefers to live in the country mainly because __________

A. the city is somehow polluted

B. the country folks are more friendly

C. one can get better sleep in the country

D. it's hard for people to find jobs in the city

【2】 The biggest disadvantage of living in the country is that __________

A. life there is inconvenient

B. shopping is almost impossible

C. you can not see a movie or a show

D. life comes to an end at half past nine

【3】 As to which is better, city life or country life, the writer __________

A. did some explanation

B. made some comparison

C. described both of them vividly

D. talked a lot about his preference

【4】 The underlined word “ binds" in the third paragraph is similar in meaning to __________.

A. attracts B. drives

C. prevents D. unites
