Most new city dwellers will be in developing countries. The United Nations says the effect on limited resources in many countries will be huge. The World Economic and Social Survey points to the increasing demand for energy, water, sanitation, public services, education and health care.
The world population is expected to rise to more than nine billion by 2050, two-thirds of all people are expected to live in cities. The United Nations says about 80 percent of this growing urban population will be found in Africa and Asia.
The report says sustainable development of urban areas requires coordination and investments to deal with important issues, these include land-use, food security, job creation and transportation.
Willem Van Der Geest is with the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, he says cities need to work closely with rural communities, so that food supplies can be secured, and the environment can be protected.
"We need enough integration(整合,融合) with cities... An integration between the rural and urban economies is absolutely vital for issues of nutrition, food security, and environmental sustainability."
The report says development in a sustainable(可持续发展)way is important to end poverty. The report also examines the problem of food insecurity, which affects hundreds of millions of people around the world. One in eight people still severely lack nutrition.
UN officials say some things are clear. The Assistant Secretary-General for Economic Development, Shamshad Akhtar, says world food production will have to increase by 70%, that increase will be needed to feed the additional 2.3 billion people expected on the planet by the middle of the century. She says an important part of meeting that need is to waste less food. "There has to be efforts to reduce food wastage. ."
Food and nutrition security are core elements of the sustainable development agenda.

解析
试题分析:世界还没有做好处理如此快速城市化的准备,因此这个机构要拿出新办法来满足城市人口的需要,以及城市化进程面临的挑战,一些措施:大力整合城市可以改进营养不良、土地、食品安全等问题,同时提到缓解贫穷的重要方式是可持续发展,其核心要素要重视食品营养安全。
小题1:A 细节理解题。文章只是说“call for”,且下文还提出了可行办法。故A观点片面;B项根据第七段第一句“The report says development in a sustainable(可持续发展)way is important to end poverty.”可知正确;C项根据第四段最后一句“these include land-use, food security, job creation and transportation.”正确;D项与第七段第二句相符。故选A。
小题2:B 推理判断题。A项说得太过绝对,且最后可清楚知道“wast eless food”是方式之一;B项根据第二段“he United Nations says the effect on limited resources in many countries will be huge.”、第三段“The United Nations says about 80 percent of this growing urban population will be found in Africa and Asia.”可知是正确。C项原文直接出现;D 项根据第八段说:粮食生产必必需增加到70%,增加的这部分将可供养2.3 billion people。所以不对。
小题3:D 主旨大意题。文章主要讲未来全球人口增长极城市化进程,在进程中面临的挑战以及一些解决措施。A项,文章通过对2013年世界经济和社会调查引出城市化面临的问题,是文章内容之一;B项第三段第一句话提到,是个观点之一;C 项第五段第一句后面“he says cities need to work closely with rural communities,”也是观点之一;故D 正确。
小题4:D 归纳总结题。A 教科书;B 旅游指南;C 小说;D 报纸;文章涉及热点问题集出现较多的专业人员、专业术语。故D正确。

试题【The United Nations is warning that the world is not prepared to deal with the fa】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.
The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is:
50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood; or
22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath; or
67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine(尿液).
Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.
Any driver found drinking beyond the limit will be charged. The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK $25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offence points; or temporarily banned from driving.
The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens(样本)for breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse.
Drink driving is a criminal offence. Be a responsible driver, think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.
小题1:The first paragraph is mainly about______.
A.the introduction of driving skills |
B.the damage of drinking to your body |
C.the effect of drinking on driving |
D.the process of alcohol being absorbed |
A.alcohol | B.absorption | C.blood | D.process |
A.Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving. |
B.Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice. |
C.Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body. |
D.50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of breath is below the drink driving limit. |
A.should provide specimens for testing |
B.will be forbidden to drive for 3 years |
C.will be punished for 10 driving-offence points |
D.should pay a maximum fine of HK $ 25,000 |
Some people think it is the age of the violins. But there is a problem here. Not all old violins sound wonderful. Only those from Cremona are special. So age cannot be the answer.
Other people think the secret to those violins is the wood. The wood of the violin is very important. It must be from certain kinds of trees. It must not be too young or too old. Perhaps the violin makers of Cremona knew something special about wood for violins.
But the kind of wood may not be so important. It may be more important to cut the wood in a special way. Wood for a violin must be cut very carefully. It has to be the right size and shape. The smallest difference will change the sound of the violin. Musicians sometimes think that this is the secret of the Italians.
Size and shape may not be the answer either. Scientists make new violins that are exactly the same size and shape. But the new violins still do not sound as good as the old one. Some scientists think the secret may be the varnish(清漆), which covers the wood of the violin and makes it look shiny. It also helps the sound of the instrument. Since no one knows what the Italian violin makers used in their varnish, no one can make the same varnish today.
There may never be other violins like the violins of Cremona. And there are not many of the old violins left. So these old violins are becoming more and more precious.
小题1:What would be the best title for the passage?
A.The Secrets of Cremona Violins |
B.The History of Italian Violins |
C.Special Musical Instruments |
D.How to Make the Best Violins |
A.list some facts | B.raise a question |
C.give an opinion | D.offer an answer |
A.The shape. | B.The size. | C.The wood. | D.The varnish. |
A.Light. | B.Shining. | C.Valuable. | D.Modern |
A.Modem things are always better than ancient ones |
B.Ancient things are always better than modem ones |
C.Once a cultural relic is lost.it Can never be recovered |
D.Varnish for violins will become more and more precious |
“Whatever"easily beat out “you know",which especially annoyed a quarter of interviewers. The other annoying expressions were "anyway"(at 7 percent), “it is what it is” (11percent) and “at the end of the day(2 percent).
"Whatever" is an expression with staying power It left everyone a deepimpression in the song by Nirvana (“oh well, whatever, never mind”)in 1991 and was popularized by the Valley Girls in the film “Clueless”,later that decade. It is still commonly used, often by younger people.
It can be a common argument-ender or a signal of indifference. And it can really be annoying. The poll found "whatever" to be consistently(始终地) disliked by Americans regardless of their race, sex, age, income or where they live.
“It doesn"t surprise me because ‘whatever’,is in a special class, probably, said Michael Adams, author of “Slang(俚语)~The People"s Poetry" and an associate professor of English at Indiana University. "It"s a word that -and it depends on how a speaker uses it -can suggest being not worthy of attention or respect.” Adams, who didn"t take part in the poll and is not annoyed by "whatever," points out that its use is not always negative. “It can also be used in place of other neutral(中性的)phrases that have fallen out of favor, like ‘six of one, half dozen of the other’ ” he said. However, he also noted that the negative meaning of the word might explain why “whatever” was judged more annoying than the ever-popular “you know”.
小题1:Which tops second among the annoying expression according to the passage?"
A.Whatever. | B.You know |
C.Anyway. | D.It is what it is. |
A.It became popular because of Nirvana. |
B.It can be commonly used at the beginning of an agreement. |
C.Old people like it while young people don"t. |
D.Almost half of the Americans surveyed disliked it. |
A.most of the people don"t like it |
B.it can be used in place of other neutral phrases |
C.it carries certain negative meaning sometimes |
D.the poor don"t like it |
A.Adams is not only a writer but also a professor. |
B.“Whatever” is a signal of concern. |
C.Adams is angry at the word “whatever” |
D."Whatever" will be replaced by "You know” |
小题1:What you have just read is a _______.

The American bug could also be a person, referring to someone who was crazy about a particular activity. Althoug fan became the usual term. sports fans used to be called racing bugs, baseballbugs, and the like.
Or the bug could be a small machine or object, for example, a bug-shaped car. The bug could also be a burglar alarm, from which comes the expression to bug, that is, “to install (安装) an alarm”. Now it means a small piece of equipment that people use for listening secretly to others’ conversation. Since the 1840s, to bug has long meant “to cheat”, and since the 1940s it has been annoying.
We also know the bug as a flaw in a computer program or other design. That meaning dates back to the time of Thomas Edison. In 1878 he explained bugs as “little problems and difficulties” that required months of study and labor to overcome in developing a successful product. In 1889 it was recorded that Edison “had been up the two previous nights discovering ‘a bug’ in his invented record player.”
