Question

【題目】 Every day, people pack their belongings and move to new places. Why do people move?There are many reasons.Look around you. Do you know someone who has moved? Maybe they came from a rural area,or from a nearby city or town. Perhaps they came from another country. It’s possible that you moved to the city that you live in now. Let’s look at the following important reasons people move.

Jobs

People move to find jobs and a better life. Sometimes, people move from rural areas to urban areas, such as cities, to get a job. In 1990, about a quarter of the people inChina lived in cities. Today, over half of the Chinese people live in cities. People find a better way of life in other countries, too. In the 1950s, immigrants from Europe moved to Brazil to work in factories. Around the world, people move abroad to find new jobs and a better life.

_________

When another city has good services, people want to move there. For example, families want to live in a city with good hospitals and schools. Sometimes people move from a city to areas called suburbs. Suburbs are near the outside of the city. They are quiet and have wide streets. Suburbs have more space for schools, hospitals, clinics, shopping malls,and zoos. Families with young children like to live in suburbs.

New Experiences

Finally, people move when they want a change in their lives. Sometimes, older people move to places with better weather. Some students go to universities in another country to learn about other places. Whatever the reason is, people often move to find new experiences and a better life.

文章大意：本題主要講述的是人們搬家的原因，文章采用總分總形式，描述了人們搬家的三個原因：工作、服務(wù)以及新體驗。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一段最末尾一句Let’s look at the following important reasons people move.以及后面每段的副標(biāo)題黑體字（其中劃線空白處也為一個副標(biāo)題）共計3個原因，故答案選B。

【2】詞義猜測題。根據(jù)immigrants所在的段落第三行People find a better way of life in other countries, too.以及本段末尾Around the world, people move abroad to find new jobs and a better life.可知“人們發(fā)現(xiàn)一種新的生活方式在另一個國家”，可推測immigrants是“移民”，故答案選D。

【3】主旨大意題。根據(jù)第三段段第一句When another city has good services, people want to move there.可知，“當(dāng)另一個城市有好的服務(wù)的時候，人們想要去搬到那里”，下面For example引出例子，故答案選A。

【4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段第一行For example, families want to live in a city with good hospitals and schools.可知“家庭希望在有好的醫(yī)院和學(xué)校的城市居住”，故答案選A。

【5】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段最后一句Whatever the reason is, people often move to find new experiences and a better life“無論哪一個原因，人們搬家都是想要一個新體驗和更好的生活”，故答案選D。

【6】主旨大意題。根據(jù)本文第一段Why do people move? There are many reasons.和最后一段As you can see, people move for many reasons.前后呼應(yīng)，都在說人們搬家的原因，故答案選C。

閱讀理解的細(xì)節(jié)理解題，首先根據(jù)問句中的關(guān)鍵詞，定位到文章具體位置，然后根據(jù)文章找出答案即可。例如題目4中關(guān)鍵詞是good for families to live in，可定位到第三段第一行For example, families want to live in a city with good hospitals and schools.可知“家庭希望在有好的醫(yī)院和學(xué)校的城市居住”，故答案選A。
