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(乡下的) 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(摩天大楼)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. 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
2. 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.
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. and live there
B. but live in the suburbs of the city
C. and 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

overcome difficulties.
[3] Volunteers usually help in many different ways.They may give people advice, offer friendship to the young, drive the elderly to church, warn kids against drugs, work as an assistant in a school or a nursing
home, raise funds, plant trees, help out in local libraries and do many other things.

weekends, either part time or full time. Anybody who likes to serve people in need ________.
[5]The art of volunteering can be a process of both giving and receiving. Volunteering allows volunteers to meet new people and make new friends and mix with people from all walks of life. Volunteering is an
excellent way to experiment, practice and try out new techniques and skills. It is much more effective to
practice a skill than to read about or study it in a classroom. Volunteering is a great way to develop good

age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two
feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of
showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own, most of them
are clutching (紧握) at one another"s hands for reassurance.
They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new
directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起) round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thusandsuch a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come ou
t of their cocoon (蚕茧) into a larger_cocoon.
It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his
or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn
from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today"s parents have come to
award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager
who wants to find his or her own path.
But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don"t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it.
Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come-with the people who respect you for who you are. That
is the only kind of popularity that really counts.
B．readers to try to be popular with people around
C．parents to try to control and guide their children
D．people to try to understand and respect each other

C．the parental care and love
D．the popularity wave in the society

C．Influential.
D．Authoritative.
and follows his/her own path?
B．He/She loses good friends.
C．He/She faces all kinds of criticism.
D．He/She gains valuable popularity.
The hottest items at graduation sales are secondhand textbooks and class notes from graduating
upperclassmen. Some even sell guidelines for exams. Books used by upp
erclassmen will surely help you study.
Classics ranging from The Romance of Three Kingdoms and A Dream of the Red Mansion to
English novels such as Pride and Prejudice, Da Vinci Code have price tags much lower than their market price.
Senior women students sell off clothes for job interviews and dates with their boy friends. Some even
sell fashion hair straighteners and hairdry
ers. Most of them are in good condition. Secondhand bicycles are always the stars of the sale. The tip is to buy a lock which matches the price of the bike.

baskets are full of sugar, salt and even tissue paper.
While prices are rising so fast, many people are worrying out ways to cut down their expenses. Du Z
henqi, an 80-year-old Beijinger, grows different vegetables in the community yard. But this year, before they turned ripe, they were all picked by his neighbors. “The prices of vegetables have gone up dramatically,” said Du. “So I understand those people and it pleased me to offer them my help.” Du expressed his
sympathy for these who took away his vegetables without permission.
The rise of food price in China has made people with low incomes feel serious financial pressure and
forced them to spend wisely.
A collection of practical money-saving tips is thus becoming increasingly popular among Chinese
citizens. If you search “money-saving strategies” in Baidu, you will find 4.27 million entries in 0.19 seconds. The collection provides tips such as choosing local and seasonal products, avoiding buying vegetables on
rainy or snowy days when higher transport costs increase prices, using websites for purchases, and
planting vegetables on the balcony. Some consider buying in large quantity to stay within a tight budget.
Fei Yuqin, who lives in Shanghai, frequently hurries to a farmers’ market before 6 a.m. to buy large
amounts of vegetables for her family and neighbors. “Instead of buying small amounts, I buy large amounts of vegetables at the market and get a 50-percent discount.”
With these tips, many people have become experts in cutting household expenses. However, financial
pressure caused by the current round of price rising still troubles many Chinese people.
1. The underlined word “lessen” in Paragraph 1 probably means "_______".

B. increase
C. remove
D. reduce

C. People stay within a tight budget due to their ignorance to money-saving tips.

D. solutions to the problems happening in neighborhood
daughters than their plainer counterparts, according to a study．
As parents tend to pass on genes that determine looks, this could result in handsome men becoming
rather thin on the ground． 2 For example, Yasmin Le Bon is signed to the same modelling agency
as daughter Amber, and Jerry Hall"s daughters Elizabeth and Georgia Jagger have both taken to the
catwalk．
Dr Satoshi Kanazawa, of the London School of Economics, analysed data from a survey of 17,000
babies born in Britain in March 1958 and tracked them throughout their lives． 3 When they reached
45, they were asked about the gender of any children they had．
Those rated as attractive were equally likely to have a son or daughter as their first child - but the
unattractive sorts were more likely to have a son． 4
Dr Kanazawa believes that parents tend to produce children who benefit from their own
features． 5 So it pays for attractive women to have daughters．But couples blessed with strength
and aggression rather than looks are better off having boys, as these characteristics are of more use to
males．
children than plain ones．
B．Single girls have always complained that good-looking men are difficult to find．
C．Beauty is of more benefit to a woman than a man．
D．At the age of seven, their attractiveness was rated by their teachers．
E．Put another way, the beautiful women were more likely to have daughters．
F．And it may also explain why many models have daughters who follow in their fascinating footsteps．
G．Famously good-looking parents like Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are more likely to have girls than
uglier couples．
