考题
It is generally agreed that the first true cities appeared about 5,000 years ago in the food-producing communities of the Middle East． The cities of Sumeria, Egypt and the Indus Valley possessed a number of characteristics that distinguished them as truly urban． The cities were very much larger and more densely populated than any previous settlement, and their function wasclearly differentiated from that of the surrounding villages． In the cities the old patterns of kinship relations were replaced by a complex hierarchy of social classes based on the specialization of
labor． Moreover, the need to keep records led to the development of writing and arithmetic, and the increased sophistication of urban society gave a new impetus to artistic expression of every kind．
When the basis of city life was established in Europe the urban tradition was drawn from the ancient cities of the Middle East, via the civilization of Greece and Rome． We can trace three main phases in the growth of the West European city． The first of these is the medieval phase which extends from the beginning of the 1 lth century A．D． to about 1,500 to the beginning of the 19th century． The third is the modern phase extending from the early 19th century to the present day．
Every medieval city began as a small settlement, which grew up round a geographical or cultural focal point． This would be a permanent structure such as a stronghold, a cathedral or a large church． In districts where travel and trade were well established, it might be a market, a river crossing, or a place where two or more trade routes met, in studies of urban geography the oldest part of town is referred to as the nuclear settlement． There are many small towns in Europe where it is still possible to trace the outline of the original nuclear settlement． It is, of course,
much more difficult to do this in the case if a large modern city which has grown to many times its original size．
?Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A.The Origin and Development of Cities．
B.The Differences Between a Modern City and an Ancient City．
C.The Functions of a City．
D.The Characteristics of an Ancient City．

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.
We can easily know that the underlined phrase "urban areas" in the first paragraph means_____________.A.areas of the countryside
B.areas of a town or city
C.areas near the countryside
D.areas near a town or city

According to the passage, which aspect of skyscrapers was some residents of Boston con-cerned with in the late 1960s?__________A.The poor reception of radio and TV signals
B.The removal of trees and grass from building sites
C.The harmful effects on the city's plants
D.The obstruction of air traffic
考题
In the late l960s．many people in North America turned their attention to environmental problems，and new steel-and-glass skyscraper,5 were widely criticized．Ecologists pointed out that acluster of tall buildings in a city often overburdens public transportation and parking lot capacities．
Skyscrapers are also lavish consumers，and wasters，of electric power．In one recent year．The addition of l7 million square feet of skyscraper omce space in New York City raised the peak daib demand for electricity by l20，000 kilowatts--enough tO supply the entire city of Albany，New York，for a day．
Glass·walled skyscrapers can be especially wasteful．The heat loss(or gain)through a wall of half-inch plate glass is more than ten times that through a typical masonry wall filled with insula．tion board．To lessen the strain on heating and air conditioning equipment，builders of skyscrapers have begun to use double glazed panels of glass，and reflective glasses coated with siNer or gold
mirror films that reduce glare aS well as heat gain．However，mirror-walled skyscrapers raise the temperature of the surrounding air and affect neighboring buildings．
Skyscrapers put a severe strain on a city’S sanitation facilities，t00．If fully occupied，the two World Trade Center towers in New York City would alone generate 2．25 million gallons of raw sewage each year--as much as a city the size of Stamford, Connecticut, which has a population ofmore than 109,000．
Skyscrapers also interfere with television reception, block bird flyways, and obstruct air traffic．
In Boston in the late 1960s, some people even feared that shadows from skyscrapers would kill the grass on Boston Common．
Still, people continue to build skyscrapers for all the reasons that they have always built them-personal ambition, civic pride, and the desire of owners to have the largest possible amount of rentable space．
According to the passage, which aspect of skyscrapers was some residents of Boston concerned with in the late 1960s? ( )A. The poor reception of radio and TV signals．
B. The removal of trees and grass from building sites．
C. The harmful effects on the city's plants．
D. The obstruction of air traffic．

Compared with other areas of our social lives,we tend to boast far more on social media.For instance,few of us will stand on a neighborhood corner and declare how accomplished we are or how much we love our spouse.On Facebook,however,we have no uneasiness about routinely posting photographs of intimate family gatherings,foreign vacations,and fancy meals.What's more,many of us share boasts with hundreds or even thousands of social media connections,with little knowledge or concern about who's seeing them or what effect it has on them.Despite the risk of negative effects,we can't help boasting on social media because,as psychologists have argued,boasting satisfies fundamental human motives of creating a favorable first impression with strangers,and building a positive image among those who know us.In our vast social media spheres,boasting is also a good way,or even possibly the only way,to attract attention.

问答题Directions:In this section, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary below by choosing no more than three words from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet. Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage.The City of the Future What will city life be like in the future? Some people think that life in the cities is going to be horrible. They predict that cities will become more and more crowded. As the number of people increases, there will be less space for each person. This overcrowding will cause other problems—more crime, dirtier streets, and worse problems with traffic than we have now. How will people find enough drinking water, energy (such as gas and electricity), and housing? Because life will be hard, people who live in cities will worry more, and they may become sick. For these reasons, some say that nobody will want to live in urban areas. How can we solve such problems as overcrowding, crime, and traffic? In some cities, thousands of people are already sleeping in the streets because there is so little suitable housing—and because rents are so high. The crime rate isn’t going down. Instead, it is increasing so fast that many people are afraid to go out at night. Traffic is also getting worse. More and more often, traffic jams are so bad that cars don’t move at all for several blocks. These urban problems have been getting worse, not better, so many people see no hope for the future of the city. Los Angeles, California, for instance, has no subway system and the buses are slow. Instead, most commuters drive many miles from their homes to work. Many of these drivers spend several hours each day on busy freeways. New York, by contrast, has a mass transit system—buses, commuter trains, and subways. Because the public transportation is crowded and dirty, however, many people drive private cars, and the traffic jams are worse than in Los Angeles. On the other hand, some cities have clean, fast, and pleasant public transportation systems. In Paris, France, and Toronto, Canada, for example, anyone can use mass transit to move quickly from one part of the city to another. The disadvantages of any modern city are not unique to that city—that is, cities all over the world have to solve the problems of traffic jams, crime, housing, energy, drinking water, and overcrowding. Yet many cities have found answers to one or more of these difficulties. Some European cities, such as Stockholm, Sweden, or London, England, have planned communities that provide people with apartments, jobs, shopping centers, green space, entertainment, and transportation. Many U.S. cities are rebuilding their downtown areas. Urban planners can learn from one another. They can try solutions that have been successful in other parts of the world. Summary: Some people think that life in the cities is going to be horrible. They say that cities will become more and more crowded and many other problems will be caused by this 1 Due to the hard life, people do not want to live in 2 These urban problems such as overcrowding, crime and traffic have been getting worse, so many people 3 for the future of the city. However, these disadvantages of any modern city are not unique to that city. All the cities all over the world must solve the problems and fortunately, many of them have found answers to one or more of these difficulties. For example, 4 or London has planned communities providing people with apartments, jobs and so on. Besides, many U. S. cities 5 In a word, solutions that have been successful in a place should be adopted and tried in another place.
