Question

【題目】A survey has shown that only one third of people prefer to live in big cities. 【1】 In a big city or in the country? Maybe, wherever you are, there are advantages and disadvantages.

【2】 The transportation in big cities is convenient. There are many shopping centers. And the catering(餐飲) industry is developing very well. So it is easier for you to travel, to have dinners or go shopping. But there are some things that make us bored, such as rush hour traffic, noise pollution and fast-paced life.

【3】 The air is a lot fresher than that of the big cities. There is also a lower cost of living, good scenery, a slower pace and more green trees. You are eager and easy to get close to nature. It would be better if there is a river running through where you live. You will hear long-lost bird calls and see lots of animals and plants. The happy life in the country will make you forget the inconvenience here and the mosquito（蚊子） bite.

Nowadays, returning to nature has become a new trend. There are a lot of people working in big cities and on vacation in the countryside.

【4】 When they are free, they will go to the country to relax themselves.

In my opinion, young people should strive(打拼) in the big cities.

【5】 Maybe, a place that is fit for you is the best place. Every coin has two sides.

A.I prefer to live in the country.

B. Where would you prefer to live?

C. Older people can choose to live in the country.

D. As we all know, everything in the big cities is convenient.

E. But if you live in the country, you will have different feelings.

【2】D

【3】E

【4】F

【5】C

【解析】本文主要介紹的是現(xiàn)在只有少部分人喜歡生活在大城市里，有更多的人喜歡生活在鄉(xiāng)村。無論生活在哪里，其實各有利弊。年輕人應多在城市里打拼，年長的人可以選擇到鄉(xiāng)村居住。

根據(jù)下一句“In a big city or in the country?”可知本句應是問你更喜歡住在哪里。結合備選項，B項“你更喜歡住在哪里？”符合語境。故選B。

根據(jù)后幾句“The transportation in big cities is convenient. There are many shopping centers. And the catering（餐飲） industry is developing very well. So it is easier for you to travel, to have dinners or go shopping.”可知是對本句的解釋，本句應填與此內(nèi)容相關的概括性語句。結合備選項，D項“正如大家都知道的那樣，大城市里的一切都是方便的。”符合語境。故選D。

【3】E

根據(jù)本段的內(nèi)容可知本句應填與下面的內(nèi)容相關的語句，即是對鄉(xiāng)村生活的概括性說明。結合備選項，E項“但是，如果你住在鄉(xiāng)村，你會有不一樣的感受。”符合語境。故選E。

【4】F

根據(jù)前兩句“Nowadays, returning to nature has become a new trend. There are a lot of people working in big cities and on vacation in the countryside.”可知本句應填與鄉(xiāng)村生活內(nèi)容相關的語句，是對前面內(nèi)容的解釋說明。結合備選項，F項“此外，有一些人在他們最喜歡的鄉(xiāng)村地區(qū)買了自己的房子。”符合語境。故選F。

【5】C

根據(jù)上一句“In my opinion, young people should strive(打拼) in the big cities.”可知本句應填與其表示對比關系的語句，即與年老的人內(nèi)容相關的語句。結合備選項，C項“年長的人可以選擇住在鄉(xiāng)村。”符合語境。故選C。
