Urbanization
(2013·高考北京卷)Until relatively recently,the vast majority of human beings lived and died without ever seeing a city.The first city was probably founded no more than 5,500 years ago.__ 1.__In fact,nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (乡村的) villages.It was not until the 20th century that Great Britain became the first urban society in history—a society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.
Britain was only the beginning. 2.__The process of urbanization—the migration (迁徙) of people from the countryside to the city—was the result of modernization,which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.
In 1990,fewer than 40% of Americans lived in urban areas.Today,over 82% of Americans live in cities.Only about 2% live on farms.__ 3.__
Large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized.Even in advanced agricultural societies,it took about ninetyfive people on farms to feed five people in cities._ 4._Until modern times,those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite(精英) and the servants,laborers and professionals who served them.Cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.
Over the past two centuries,the Industrial Revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country. 5._Today,instead of needing ninetyfive farmers to feed five city people,one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred nonfarmers.
A.That kept cities very small.
B.The rest live in small towns.
C.The effects of urban living on people should be considered.
D.Soon many other industrial nations became urban societies.
E.But even 200 years ago,only a few people could live in cities.
F.Modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive.
G.Modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.

Too Much Happiness was written by Alice Munro,winner of the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature,one of our greatest contemporary writers of fiction and the owner of the Man Booker Price for Fiction.Her stories have appeared in The New Yorker,The Atlantic Monthly,and other publications,and her collections have been translated into thirteen languages.
The main character is Sophia Kovalevsky,a great Russian mathematician,writer and advocator拥护者)of women’s rights in the late nineteenth century. After visiting her lover Maxsim Kovalevsky in Riviera,she travels in Europe,ending up in Sweden,where she teaches at the only university in Europe willing to employ a female mathematician.The book writes about her journey from Riviera to Sweden.
The story tells the typical struggle of an intellectual(知识分子)woman to achieve success and happiness.However,when she is going to die,Sophia says“too much happiness”.I think it’s irony(讽*11的).As reading the story,she has too many mental problems·First,as a woman mathematician,she was born in a wrong time .She was married to Vladimir Kovalevsky without love,called“a white marriage”.She explained that“no a young Russian woman who was unmarried could leave the country.”She satisfied her marriage to seek her career.
Furthermore,when she sees a man look like Maxsim in the station,she says to herself,“of course,it would not be Maxsim,what could he be doing in Paris?”She doesn’t want to face the fact because she doesn’t want to lose her hope.She believes they will marry in spring.And in her letter to Julia she says:“it is to be happiness after all,happiness after all.Happiness.”She is cheating herself. In fact,the man does not want to marry her,and the happiness she expected doesn’t take place at all.
Finally, I conclude that the end must be a tragedy(悲剧).From the very first pages the atmosphere is gloomy黯淡的)and threatening.“One of us will die this year.”“Because we have gone walking in a graveyard(墓地)on the first day of the New Year.”Some pages further,“a black cat across their path”all reflect it will be a bad ending.Not because she had some problems with her lung,but because her life does not bring her happiness,and because of these disharmony things that happen in her life.
