高二英语单项填空困难题查看答案及解析

What will city life be like in the future? Some people think that life in the cities is going to be horrible. They say 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 city areas.

How can we deal with such problems as overcrowding, crime, and traffic? In some cities, thousands of people are already sleeping in the streets because there is little suitable housing — and because houses are too expensive. 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 streets. These problems have been getting worse, not better, so many people see no hope for the future of the city.

Los Angeles, California, for example, has no subway system and buses are slow. Instead, many commuters (乘、开车上班族) drive many miles from their homes to work. Many of these drivers spend several hours each day on busy freeways. New York, however, has a big transit system — buses, commuter trains, and subways. Because the public transportation is crowded and dirty, many people drive private cars, and the traffic jams are worse than that in Los Angeles. A taxi driver complains, “I was driving home, but in forty-five minutes I moved only two miles! Finally, I turned off the engine and just sat there. A lot of people left their cars where they were in the middle of the street and went into a bar for a few beers!”

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 buses or subways to move quickly from one part of the city to another.

1.What do some people think is the main problem of the future city like?

A. Poor housing.                    B. Overcrowding.

C. Environmental pollution.           D. Traffic jams.

2.The best way to work out the traffic problem in Los Angels might be _________________.

A. cutting down the number of private cars

B. providing more buses in the freeway

C. building a subway system

D. persuading people to live nearer to their workplaces

3.Which of the following sentences is NOT TRUE?

A. Thousands of people are already sleeping in the streets.

B. The crime rate isn’t going down.

C. The traffic jams are so bad that cars don’t move at all for several streets.

D. Many people have a positive attitude towards the future of the city.

It is really hard to say which is better than the other，city life or rural life.__66__

Living in a city，people have certain advantages. First，people enjoy various entertainments，both foreign and domestic. Second，there are more cultural activities in a city. Third，city people gain access to better information service and educational facilities.__67__The overcrowded population，traffic jam，housing problem，industrial pollution and other issues may result in depression，nervousness and diseases.

Life in the village and on the farm is very different from life in the city. Living in the country，people can enjoy living in pure nature.__68__But rural life may not be that perfect. People usually lack cultural activities. They are relatively ill informed.__69__And people miss some golden opportunities of making a fortune. Opportunities for bright young people are greater in cities，so the chances of their children being admitted to colleges are slim.

Obviously，whatever life they lead，people can never feel perfectly satisfied，for conveniences and inconveniences always coexist. People wish that they could enjoy the pleasures of both lives. With the rapid economic development，nowadays city people can relax themselves in the country during vacation.__70__

E．However，problems exist.

F．And country people have chances to experience city lifestyle when they come to cities.

G．City life is obviously much more comfortable.

Bushwick is a tough place to grow up. This part of Brooklyn, in New York City, has a lot of crime. More than half of its 100,000 residents rely on aid from the government. Only 50% of students at Bushwick High School graduate in four years.

Some people might say, “We should help these poor kids who have so many challenges.” But Malaak Compton-Rock looks at the teens in Bushwick and says, “ Go to help kids who have even bigger challenges than you do.” She believes that once young people see the power they have to make things better, they can handle their own problems more easily. So her service group, the Angel Rock Project, took 30 Bushwick kids to Soweto, in South Africa, to help poor families there. Soweto is a township outside the city of Johannesburg. The effort, called Journey for Change, aims to show that any kid can change the world.

“Kids in Bushwick face pressure to drop out of school or become involved in gangs and drugs.” Says Compton-Rock. “We want them to live a life of purpose and service.”

In Soweto, many parents have died of AIDS, a deadly disease. When that happens, a grandparent or a child must lead the family. The Bushwick volunteers helped such families. They tended vegetable gardens, cared for babies and bought groceries.

“The saddest thing was when we visited an orphanage (孤儿院) and I helped a little boy who had been abandoned because he had HIV, the virus that causes AIDS,” says Queen Clyde, 12. “It‘s been good to be on this trip. But what’s also important is what we do when it’s finished. That’s what counts.” “ I never appreciated what I had until I saw some people who had nothing,” says Sadara Lewis, 12 “It’s really changed my attitude. I want to make a difference.”

The trip was two weeks long. But the kids, aged 12 to 15, will spend all year speaking about their experience, fund-raising and more.
