Many small towns have experienced new population growth from the cities. These newcomers t

o rural America bring "big city" demands that small towns cannot afford. The following cases describe some typical towns: Retired city people moving to Kimberling City often see wildlife close to their homes. Kelly and Bette Edgington, for example, see deer on their property. Also, they have identified more than one hundred kinds of birds around their comfortable home in the small, but fast-growing retirement town in the Ozark Mountains. Yet most of the retired people heading for beautiful rural places like this one enjoy being close to some of the convenience and activities of the cities. Kimberling has a small shopping center, a country club and a golf course. It is less than twenty miles from the School of the Ozarks, which has cultural events. Kimberling City had only about 600 people in 1970 but has nearly doubled since then. A local planning official estimates the towns population will reach 4 000 by the end of the 20th century. The newcomers are demanding more paved roads, says Mrs. Edgington, the $ 50-a-month mayor. A central sewer system is needed. These services require more money, but the town does not receive enough money from taxes. Even though industries could help provide taxes to pay for these services, the town is not seeking industries. Residents do not want industries and the traffic they bring. Most residents came to get away from the cities, and now they find the town has changed. "I came here to get away from Kansas City," says retired James Mitchell. "This was really rural when I came. Now its getting crowded. "

From the passage we know that residents living in the small town now______.

A．are satisfied with their present situation

B．regret their coming

C．are to leave

D．have complaints

第4题

Although the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than th

e present population needs, its people are by now almost entirely an urban society. Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry(林业), and most of the rest live in or around towns, small and large. Here the traditional picture is changing: every small town may still be very like other small towns, and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country, but most Americans do not live in small towns any more. Half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas (large cities with their suburbs) of more than a million people each — a larger proportion than in Germany or England, let alone France. The statistics (统计) of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day. As the rush to live out of town continues, rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses, so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb. But more and more the typical American lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment. If now America has 250 million people, how many of them are engaged in agriculture and forestry ____________ A. About 25 million.

B. More than 25 million.

C. Less than 25 million.

D. Less than 225 million.

Which of the following four countries has the smallest proportion of people living in metropolitan areas _____________ A. United States.

B. Germany.

C. France.

D. England.

What’s the meaning of the word “metropolitan” in the middle of the passage _________A.Of a large city with its suburbs.

B.Of small and large towns.

C.Of urban areas.

D.Of rural areas.

According to the passage, what can we learn about small towns in the United States _________ A. Most small towns become gradually crowded.

B. Small towns are still similar to each other.

C. As the traditional picture is changing, towns are different.

D. Small towns are turning into large cities.

Why is it hard to say when a piece of country becomes a suburb __________ A. Because they are the same.

B. Because the rush takes place too quickly.

C. Because the process is gradual.

D. Because more and more Americans live in metropolitan areas.

听力原文： One important thing about art movements is that their popularity can be affected

by social conditions, which themselves are often affected by historical events. As an example, look at what happened in the United States early in the 20th century, around the time of the Great Depression, the art movement known as Regionalism had begun in the United States even before the depression occurred. But it really flourished in the 1930s, during the depression years. Why？ Well, many artists who had been living in big cities were forced by the economic crisis to leave those cities and move back to their small towns in rural America. Some of these artists came to truly embrace the life in small towns and to reject city life in so called "sophisticated society." These artists or, specifically certain painters really built the regionalist movement. They created things in every day life in small towns or farming areas. And their style. was not at all neutral, really big glorified or romanticized country life, showing it stable, wholesome, and embodying important American traditions. And this style. became very popular, in part because of the economic conditions of the time. You see, the Depression had caused many Americans to begin to doubt their society. But regionalist artists painted scenes that glorified American values, scenes that many Americans could easily identify with. So the movement helped to strengthen people's faith in their country, faith that had weakened as the result of the Depression. But in the 1940s, before and after the Second World War, American culture began to take on a much more international spirit, and Regionalism, with its focus on small town life, well, it lost a lot of popularity, as American society changed once again.

What is the lecture mainly about？

A．How historical events affected an art movement.

B．How artists can influence economic conditions.

C．Why a certain art movement failed to become popular.

D．How valuable paintings were lost during wartime.

听力原文： If you only need to travel a short distance, the quickest way to travel in most

cities is to walk. During working hours (between approximately 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday), the traffic is very heavy on most city streets, sometimes, coming to a complete stop in places. As a result, many people prefer to walk. You should therefore be aware of some of the traffic laws. It is against the law in many cities to cross the street at any place except at the comer. These rules may not be followed as closely in small towns because the traffic is usually not so heavy. However, the purpose of the law is to provide for the safety and protection of the people. Remember to look both ways for automobiles when you cross the street.

What's the best way to travel a short distance in most cities？

A．By car.

B．On foot.

C．By taxi.
