正确答案：The city that I visited most recently was Sydney. It's on the coast of South-East Australia and is one of the biggest cities in that country. It's most famous for it's opera house which I went to on a tour. Nearby there is a big bridge—I can't remember the name. It's shaped like an arch. I went there last month to visit a friend. There are many theatres galleries and other cultural things to do there but I spent most of my time just walking around. In the evenings I went out to a few of the bars with my friend. They were a little expensive but I enjoyed the atmosphere and we met some interesting people. There are still some old buildings from the colonial era and I took some photographs of them whenever I saw them on my walks. What makes the city special? I'd say that the people. Most people are friendly and cheerful. They seem very optimistic. They are also very out-going and so Sydney is quite lively in the evenings—at least in the city centre. I'm looking forward to going there again someday.

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

细节题。由第二段最后两句“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”可知答案为A。

第5题：

请阅读短文，完成此题。
I am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we should preterto live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city. I have managed to convincemyself that if it weren't for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go backto nature in some sleepy village buried in the country. But how realistic is the dream?
Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks,noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when youlive fifteen floors up. All you can see from your windows is sky, or other blocks of flats. Childrenbecome aggressive and nervous--cooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothefeel islated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough, whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don't even say hello to each other.
Country life, on the other hand, differs i~om this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants 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 fiSends in a village, it is also true that you are 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, anti for anythingslightly out of the ordinary you have to go on an expedition to the nearest large town. The city dweller who leaves for the country, is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet.
What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers ti'om the disadvantage of being cut off; the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the senses. But one of its tnain advantages is that you are at the centre of things; and that life doesn't come to an end at half past nine at night. Some people have found(or rather bought) a compromise between the two: they have expressed their preference for the"quiet life" by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they leave behind--they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages.

What does the last sentence of this passage mean?

A．City people want to change country life.
B．City people want to combine the advantages of city and village.
C．Villages don't welcome city people.
D．City people don't concern the feeling of villagers.

答案：B
解析：
文章最后一句意为“他们被有关改善和改变的奇怪思想影响了，而这些思想是他们强加给村里不愿改变的原始居民的。”文章最后一段讲到，乡村生活和城市生活各有优点。有些人在乡下和城市间找到了折中的办法，也就是将两种优点结合起来，而将城市的优点带到乡下，对于村民来说是强加于他们身上的。
故此句意味着市民想要将城市的优点和乡村的优点结合起来，B项符合。

Passage Three

Many visitors finds the fast pace at which American people move very troubling. One's first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a short moment.

At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. People will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often, life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well.

Americans who live in cities often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But When they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. If you need help and say, "I am a stranger here. Can you help me?' Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find you way or answer your questions. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you help. If this happens, do not be discouraged (气馁); just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.

41. Many people who first visit the United States will find that______.

A. America is a highly developed country

B. Americans are impatient and unfriendly people

C. the fast pace in American life often causes much trouble

D. American city people seem to be always in a rush


正确答案：D

41．答案为D  从短文第一段可知美国人看起来都很忙碌。

第7题：

Many visitors finds the fast pace at which American people move very troubling. One’s first impression is likely to be that everyone is in a rush. City people always appear to be hurrying to get where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment. At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. Drivers will rush you; storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve you; people will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often, life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well. Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; they expect others to “push back”, just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. Many of them first came to the city as strangers and they remember how frightening a new city can be .If you need help or want to ask a question, choose a friendly looking person and say, “I am a stranger here. Can you help me?” Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find you way or answer your questions. But you must let them know that you need help. Otherwise they are likely to pass you by, not noticing that you are new to the city and in need of help. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you aid. If this happens, do not be discouraged; just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger.

第8题：

The most traditional definition of a human community was "a group of people larger than a family that interact." A community may include people who have at least one common point of interest. In the past, community members lived relatively close to one another in one geographical location: in the same village, town, or city. Nowadays, however, the word community can mean a national, an international, or even an online group of interacting individuals. Therefore, a "new" definition of community might be "a group of people that recognize that they have something in common."


正确答案：

翻译参考译文：

人类社会最为传统的定义是，“比家庭更大的一群相互影响的人。”一个社会可能包含的人，有至少一处共同点。在过去，社会成员相互之间在地理位置层面上居住的相对比较近，住在同一个村庄、镇、或者城市。然而如今，社会这个词意味着国家、国际甚至是网络上一群相互影响的个人群体。因此，社会的“新”定义可以是“认同他们有一些共同点的一群人。”
