FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Spacemail: liqiang299A@GreatAdventureSpaceStation.com 15/11/3008 (Earthtime)
Dear Mum and Dad，
I still cannot believe that I am taking up this prize that I won last year. I have to remind myself constantly that I am really in AD 3008. Worried about the journey, I was unsettled for the first few days. As a result, I suffered from “time lag”. This is similar to the “jet lag” you get from flying, but it seems you keep getting flashbacks from your previous time period. So I was very nervous and uncertain at first. However, my friend and guide, Wang Ping, was very understanding and gave me some green tablets which helped a lot. Well?known for their expertise, his parents' company, called “Future Tours”， transported me safely into the future in a time capsule.

亲爱的爸爸、妈妈：
我现在仍然不能相信我是在接受去年获得的这个奖励。我得不断提醒自己，我真的已经进入到公元3008年了。因为担心这次旅行，头几天我心里总是不踏实。结果我得了时间滞后症。这就与你乘坐飞机会产生时差反应相似，所不同的是，在你脑子里似乎会不断闪现以前的时光。因此，我一开始就感到神经过敏和心神不定。但是，我的朋友兼导游王平很细心体贴，给了我几粒绿色药片，倒是挺起作用的。他父母的公司叫作“未来之旅”，以其技术高超而闻名，他们把我装在时间舱里，平安地把我送入了未来。
I can still remember the moment when the space stewardess called us all to the capsule and we climbed in through a small opening. The seats were comfortable and after a calming drink, we felt sleepy and closed our eyes. The capsule began swinging gently sideways as we lay relaxed and dreaming. A few minutes later, the journey was completed and we had arrived. I was still on the earth but one thousand years in the future. What would I find？

?stewardess n. 女乘务员
?opening n. (出入的)通路；开口；开端
?sideways adv. 往(向、从)一侧；侧着；侧面朝前
我仍旧记得我们被太空服务员一起叫到时间舱，爬上去进入一个小门。座位是很舒适的，喝了点镇静剂以后，我们的眼睛就闭上了，感到昏昏欲睡似的。时间舱在轻轻左右摇晃，我们放松地躺在那里做梦。几分钟以后，旅程结束，我们就到了。我仍然在地球上，但是进入到了未来的一千年。我会看到什么呢？
一开始新的环境让我很难忍受。空气似乎很稀薄，好像在混合的气体中剩下的氧气很少。由于缺乏新鲜空气，我感到头痛。正当我想努力调整适应新环境时，王平出现了。他告诉我，“把这个面罩戴上。它会使你感觉好得多。”他把面罩递给我，敦促我马上走进附近的一个小房间，叫我休息。我立刻就感到舒服些了。没过多久，我就再次站立起来，跟着他去领取了一台由电脑驱动的汽垫车。这些汽垫车是在地面上方漂浮着的，只要在座位上用力打弯或压下(操纵杆)你就可以迅速地移动。王平系紧了我的安全带，教我怎样使用它。不久，我就可以飞得跟王平一样快了。可是，当我们到达一个看上去像大市场的地方时，由于太多车子朝四面八方飞奔，我看不见王平了。他被卷入到这群车队中去了。就在这个时候我得到一次“时间滞后”的闪回，这样我就再次看到了似乎是公元2008年的那个地区。我这才意识到我被送到了未来，但却仍然在自己的家乡。就在这个时候，我又见到了王平，于是又跟在他后面飞去。
到了一幢看上去很奇怪的房子里，他把我带到一个明亮而洁净的大房间。墙是绿色的，地板是棕色的，灯光很柔和。突然墙壁移动了——原来是树形成的！后来我才发现，就是这些树的叶子为这栋房屋提供了最急需的氧气。然后王平在电脑屏幕上闪了一下开关，于是一张桌子和几把椅子就像变魔术那样从地板下面升了起来。“怎么不坐下来吃些东西呢？”他说道，“你第一次作这样的时间旅行，可能会感到有些困难。你可以好好休息一下。今天没有任何出行计划。明天你还要准备参观几个地方。”说完这些，他把食物摆在桌子上，又从地板下取出一张床来。他离开后，我简单吃了饭，洗了个热水澡。实在累坏了，我溜上床很快就睡着了。
以后再谈吧！
你的儿子
李强

Ⅰ.阅读理解
For many years, Bruce Bexler dreamed of going where no human had gone before. He wanted to cut a path through unexplored lands and discover rare, exotic species.
That might sound like an impossible dream, but Bexler turned it into a reality.
In December 2015, he and a team of Australian and American scientists ventured into an isolated tropical rain forest on the island of New Guinea. They were the first people ever to enter the mist?covered region. “As time was limited, we were dropped in by helicopter. Once we were on the ground, there were no trails anywhere; it was really hard to get around，” Bexler says.
Within minutes of landing, the team spotted a black chicken?like bird with strange orange skin hanging from its neck. The scientists soon determined that the unusual creature was a type of honeyeaters—the first new bird species to be sighted on New Guinea in 60 years.
The honeyeater wasn't the only surprise for the scientists. They discovered more than 40 previously unknown plant and animal species—13 birds of paradise, 20 frogs, four butterflies, and five palms. “We_were_like_kids_in_a_candy_store，” Bexler recalls. “Everywhere we looked, we saw amazing things we had never seen before.”
The newfound species didn't shy away from the scientists. Two long?nosed echidnas—primitive egg?laying mammals—let the visitors pick them up and take them back to camp to study them. An echidna looks like a hedgehog and is also called a spiny anteater.
Bexler thinks the animals weren't scared because they had never seen humans before. “In almost all parts of New Guinea, animals are hunted for food, and because of this, they are very cautious of people，” he explains. “This area gives scientists a place where they can go to study the behaviours of animals that have not yet learned to be afraid of people.”
Scientists believe the area is probably the largest untouched forest in Asia. Local people called Kwerba hunt and collect plants from the outer?edges of the forest but told Bexler that not even their ancestors had gone so far into the woods. The wooded area is approximately a 10?day walk from the nearest village.
Bexler and his team did not have enough time during the expedition to study the area completely. They hope to return and expect to record many more undiscovered species. “We just scratched the surface，” Bexler says. “Anyone who goes there will come back with a mystery.”
篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Bruce Bexler梦想去人类从未到过的地方，而后来他与澳大利亚和美国的科学家在新几内亚岛发现了一些新物种的故事。
1．Which word best describes Bruce Bexler?
A．Adventurous. B．Cautious.
C．Optimistic. D．Careful.
答案：A 推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知，Bruce Bexler梦想去人类从未到过的地方，开辟一条未经探索的路并且发现罕见的奇异物种。因此可以推断Bruce Bexler是一个具有冒险精神的(Adventurous)人，故选A项。
2．What does Bruce Bexler mean in Paragraph 5 when he says “We were like kids in a candy store”？
A．They didn't have enough food and were hungry.
B．They were very excited about what they saw.
C．They were misbehaving like naughty children.
D．They knew that if they kept searching, they'd find sugar.
答案：B 句意理解题。根据第五段中的“Everywhere we looked, we saw amazing things we had never seen before.”可知，我们对之前从未见过的事物感到惊奇。因此“We were like kids in a candy store”指的是Bruce Bexler在这个杳无人烟的地方因为发现了许多未曾见过的新物种而非常激动。故选B项。
3．Why did some of the animals allow the scientists to pick them up?
A．The scientists seemed to be very friendly.
B．The scientists were skilled in handling animals.
C．The animals had been well?trained by the local people.
D．The animals had no experience or fear of people.
答案：D 细节理解题。根据第七段第一句可知，一些动物允许科学家把它们抱起来是因为它们之前没有见过人类，它们不害怕人类。故选D项。
4．What can we conclude about the area Bruce Bexler explored?
A．The best way to explore the area is by helicopter.
B．The area has not been visited by scientists for many years.
C．The area still contains many plants and animals unknown to science.
D．The locals are unwilling to allow the scientists to enter the deep woods.
答案：C 细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句可知，他们希望还能回到这个地区并期望记录更多未被发现的物种。故选C项“这个地区仍然有很多科学上未知的动植物”。
Ⅱ.完形填空

I got off the bus when I heard piano music and __3__ rising above the noise of the traffic. I walked a bit slower, trying to find out where they were coming from. Through the __4__ I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a box next to her.
She was singing songs about love and her sweet voice __5__ me a bit. Then I stood there watching her playing, thinking that it must take __6__ to perform on her own in front of hundreds of people she didn't know.
She might have felt my __7__ for she occasionally looked in my direction.
By now I was telling myself that I could at least tell her how good she sounded. I walked __8__ and put some money in her box and she expressed her thanks with a smile on her face.
I asked her __9__， “Why are you playing the piano in the middle of this crowded place？”
She explained to me that she saw so many __10__ people in the world that she was trying to relieve the pain by __11__ motivational music.
Instead of continuing my way home, I said to her, “I have been going through a __12__ time lately, but you've made me __13__ again.”
“I'm happy that I could be __14__ to you，” she replied. “Why are you so sad？”
I told her my story and said, “I'm not so __15__ about what to do ...”
“You see, here's the __16__，” she responded. “When you were walking, your head was down.” She looked me in the eye and went on, “Don't look defeated, because the __17__ comes in different ways and if your head is down you might never see it. You should __18__ more ... lift your head up.”
I was really __19__ by what she said! I did hold my head up and soon got through the difficult time.
So __20__ in trouble, just face it bravely and you are sure to overcome your difficulty sooner or later.

Ⅲ.短文改错
(2019·黑龙江哈尔滨三中高三第二次调研)Have you ever had headache during a test? Have you ever been too concerned about something that you even can't sleep at night? If so, then you know that stress is. Too much stress can result in anger, depression and other related problems, which we need to take them seriously.
Therefore, not all stress was harmful to you. Some kinds of stress can help you get things do better, like when you are running towards the finishing line or when you are asked to deliver a speech to your class. Stress sometimes can help push you to make full preparations for a test.
The best approach of reducing stress is to have a balance life. If you get enough sleep, eat properly, take more exercise and have enough fun time, you might feel more stressed.
答案：
Have you ever had headache during a test? Have you ever been concerned about something that you even can't sleep at night? If so, then you know stress is. Too much stress can result in anger, depression and other related problems, which we need to take eq \o(,\s\do15(④)) seriously.
， not all stress harmful to you. Some kinds of stress can help you get things better, like when you are running towards the finishing line or when you are asked to deliver a speech to your class. Stress sometimes can help push you to make full preparations for a test.
The best approach reducing stress is to have a life. If you get enough sleep, eat properly, take more exercise and have enough fun time, you might feel stressed.
难项分析：
第二处：too→so 考查固定句型。句意：你是否曾经太担心一些事情，以至于晚上睡不着觉？so ... that “太……以至于”，该句型是固定句型，所以将too改为so。
第七处：do→done 考查非谓语动词。句意：有些压力能够让你把事情做得更好。things和do之间存在被动关系，应用过去分词作宾补，即get sth. done结构，故将do改为done。
第九处：balance→balanced 考查形容词。句意：最好的减压方法就是有一个平衡的生活。这里修饰名词life，用形容词balanced “平衡的”，所以将balance改为balanced。

(2018·北京高考)
Preparing Cities for Robot Cars
The possibility of self?driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurist's dream, years away from materializing in the real world. Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly self?driving cars on public roads. The state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out self?driving cars, and for companies to operate driverless taxi services. California, it should be noted, isn't leading the way here. Companies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country. It's hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is regulated.
While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars (and rightfully so), policymakers also should be talking about how self?driving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions and offer more convenient, affordable mobility options. The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are environmentally friendly and more shared.
Do we want to copy—or even worsen—the traffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine a future where most adults own individual self?driving vehicles. They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride, which encourages urban spread. They take their driverless car to an appointment and set the empty vehicle to circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning, they send the self?driving minibus. The convenience even leads fewer people to take public transport—an unwelcome side effect researchers have already found in ride?hailing (叫车) services.
A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing petrol?powered private cars worldwide with electric, self?driving and shared systems could reduce carbon emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation infrastructure (基础设施) and operations 40% by 2050. Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing. The first commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ride?hailing services, considering the cost of self?driving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues (问题). But driverless car ownership could increase as the prices drop and more people become comfortable with the technology.
Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless vehicles doesn't extend the worst aspects of the car?controlled transportation system we have today. The coming technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just have to plan for it.
篇章导读：本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了无人驾驶汽车的优点以及对其进行有效管理的必要性。
1．According to the author, attention should be paid to how driverless cars can ________.
A．help deal with transportation?related problems
B．provide better services to customers
C．cause damage to our environment
D．make some people lose jobs
答案：A 推理判断题。根据第二段第一句可知，尽管到目前为止，大多数争论都集中在无人驾驶汽车的安全性上(理应如此)，政策制定者们也应该讨论无人驾驶汽车如何能帮助缓解交通拥堵、减少尾气排放，并提供更方便、更实惠的交通选择。同时结合第三段第一句可推知，作者认为应该关注无人驾驶汽车能如何帮助处理跟交通有关的问题。故选A。
2．As for driverless cars, what is the author's major concern?
A．Safety. B．Side effects.
C．Affordability. D．Management.
答案：D 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可知，作者认为政策制定者应开始思考如何保证无人驾驶汽车的出现不会扩大当今以汽车为主导的交通运输系统的最消极的一面，由此可推知，作者关心的是无人驾驶汽车的管理。故选D。
3．What does the underlined word “fielded” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Employed. B．Replaced.
C．Shared. D．Reduced.
答案：A 词义猜测题。根据第四段最后一句可推知，目前无人驾驶汽车价格高昂，且大众对该技术的接受度低，再结合画线词所在句的含义可知，考虑到自动驾驶技术的成本以及责任和维护问题，可以猜测，叫车服务将使用首批商用无人驾驶汽车。由此可推知，field意为“使用”。故选A。
4．What is the author's attitude to the future of self?driving cars?
A．Doubtful. B．Positive.
C．Disapproving. D．Sympathetic.
答案：B 观点态度题。根据第五段最后三句可知，即将到来的技术进步为城市和国家发展交通系统提供了机会，这种交通系统的目的是让更多的人能够更经济地出行。未来的汽车就要来了。我们只须为它做好计划。由此可推知，作者对无人驾驶汽车的未来持积极态度。故选B。

(2019·河北省邢台市高三第一次月考)Angad Rekhi, a graduate student and Amin Arbabian, an assistant professor of electrical engineering, have developed a wake?up receiver. This wake?up receiver has many potential applications, particularly in designing the next generation of networked devices, including so called “smart” devices that can communicate directly with one another without human intervention.
Once attached to a device, a wake?up receiver listens for a unique ultrasonic pattern that tells it when to turn the device on. It needs only a very small amount of power to maintain this constant listening, so it still saves energy overall while extending the battery life of the larger device. A well?designed wake?up receiver also allows the device to be turned on from a significant distance.
Given the increased interest in networked devices, researchers and industry organizations are starting to define what features and techniques will become standard. Regardless of whether this ultrasound wake?up receiver is among these standard designs, it is likely wake?up receivers of some kind will be combined into commercial applications soon.
By comparison, the ultrasound wake?up receiver requires a battery but has much greater range than the wirelessly powered devices, while still maintaining a long lifetime due to extremely low power draw. These two technologies—wireless power and wake?up receivers—would likely serve different purposes but both indicate at a turning point in devices that make up the Internet of Things.
“In light of a long?promised future where interconnected, autonomous, widespread and unremarkable technologies make life easier, the networked devices available now, like video doorbells and app?enabled lights, seem like rather slight advances.” the researchers said. They believe technologies like theirs could help cross the gap between the Internet of Things as we know it and the Internet of Things at its best—whatever that may be.
5．Which of the following is an advantage of the wake?up receiver?
A．It requires no signal.
B．It is very power saving.
C．It can make the battery larger.
D．It must be fixed to another device.
答案：B 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Once attached to a device, a wake?up receiver listens for a unique ultrasonic pattern that tells it when to turn the device on. It needs only a very small amount of power to maintain this constant listening, so it still saves energy overall while extending the battery life of the larger device.”可知，这种接收器有两大特点：①通过感知一种独特的超声波来自动打开装置。②只需要极少量的耗电就可以运转。因此B项所述内容是其一项优点，故选B。
6．What do we know about by comparing the wireless power with wake?up receivers?
A．One can replace the other.
B．The wake?up receiver is better.
C．Both have their own advantages.
D．The wirelessly powered device has more uses.
答案：C 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段内容可知，超声波“唤醒”接收器需要电池，但是比无线驱动装置适用范围更广，而且功耗低，运转寿命长。但两者运用的目的不同，都标志着物联网设备的转折点。由此可知，这两种装置各有优点，故选C。
7．What do the researchers feel about their technologies mentioned in the last paragraph?
A．They make the Internet cheaper.
B．They make the Internet more popular.
C．They are not useful devices for the Internet.
D．They are beneficial to the use of the Internet.
答案：D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“They believe technologies like theirs could help cross the gap between the Internet of Things as we know it and the Internet of Things at its best—whatever that may be.”可知，他们的新技术有助于跨越物联网的现状及其最佳前景的鸿沟。同时结合第一段第二句中的“in designing the next generation of net?worked devices”及第三段最后一句可推知，这些技术有助于物联网的应用，故选D。
8．What can be the best title for the text?
A．Wide Use of Advanced Equipment
B．Development of the Internet Devices
C．New Technique for Waking Up Devices
D．Difference between Two Wake?up Receivers
答案：C 标题判断题。本文主要介绍了两位研究学者合作共同发明了一种被称为“唤醒”接收器的新科技，故选C。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Petrol and diesel cars may still dominate our roads, but their days are numbered. A recent university study found that current electric cars could be used for 87 per cent of daily car journeys in the US. That figure could rise to 98 per cent by 2020.
One hurdle to the widespread adoption of electric cars has been “range anxiety”—drivers' concerns about running out of juice on a journey. While petrol stations are conveniently located across national road systems, the necessary network of electric charging stations is still being developed. That said, charging points are becoming increasingly common throughout the USA.
Attitudes towards electric vehicles have changed quite considerably over the last few years. Not that long ago, electric cars were met with distrust, and their large price tags drove customers away. Thanks to improvements in battery capacity, recharging times, performance and price, the current generation of electric cars is starting to persuade critics. Plug?in cars will soon give internal combustion engine models a run for their money.
As well as advancements on the road, electric vehicles are taking to the seas and skies. Electric boats are among the oldest methods of electric travel, having enjoyed several decades of popularity from the late 19th to the early 20th century before petrol?powered outboard motors took over. Now, the global drive for renewable energy sources is bringing electric boats back. Steps towards electric air travel are also being made, with Airbus and NASA among the organizations developing and testing battery powered planes. The experiments could soon make commercial electric flight a reality.
Electric vehicles do not produce any emissions. Were the US to act on the study's findings and replace 87 per cent of its cars with electric vehicles, it would reduce the national demand for petrol by 61 per cent. However, because of the production processes and the generation of electricity required to charge these vehicles, they cannot claim to be completely emissionfree. That said, as many countries continue to increase their use of renewable energy sources, electric vehicles will become even cleaner.

B．To explain why the world needs more electric cars.
C．To show why more people have interest in electric cars.
D．To describe different ways electric vehicles can be used.

Whether in the home or the workplace, social robots are going to become a lot more common in the next few years. Social robots are about to bring technology to the everyday world in a more humanized way, said Cynthia Breazeal, chief scientist at the robot company Jibo.
While household robots today do the normal housework, social robots will be much more like companions than mere tools. For example, these robots will be able to distinguish when someone is happy or sad. This allows them to respond more appropriately to the user.
The Jibo robot, arranged to ship later this year, is designed to be a personalized assistant. You can talk to the robot, ask it questions, and make requests for it to perform different tasks. The robot doesn't just deliver general answers to questions; it responds based on what it learns about each individual in the household. It can do things such as reminding an elderly family member to take medicine or taking family photos.
Social robots are not just finding their way into the home. They have potential applications in everything from education to health care and are already finding their way into some of these spaces.
Fellow Robots is one company bringing social robots to the market. The company's “Oshbot” robot is built to assist customers in a store, which can help the customers find items and help guide them to the product's location in the store. It can also speak different languages and make recommendations for different items based on what the customer is shopping for.
The more interaction the robot has with humans, the more it learns. But Oshbot, like other social robots, is not intended to replace workers, but to work alongside other employees. “We have technologies to train social robots to do things not for us, but with us，” said Breazeal.

我看到了奇妙的东西
我首先参观的是一个太空站，这个站被认为是太空中最现代化的地方。太空站像一个巨大的圆盘，在太空中缓缓地旋转，以仿照出地球重心的引力。太空站里展出了31世纪一些最前沿的发明。有个导游带领我们站在一条移动的运送带上，到各处参观。
导游：从2008年来访的朋友们，早上好！首先，我们要查看一种我们太空居民使用的最新的通讯方式。再也不需要打字员在打字机或电脑上工作了！再也不需要邮费和邮政编码了！现在用一种“思想仪”就可以传递信息。你把这种金属带子放在你的头上，排除杂念，按下发送键，集中精神想着你要传递的信息，片刻功夫信息就发出去了。这个信息会储存在接受者的“思想仪”里。它快捷有效，而且环保。唯一的缺点是，如果使用者不能想清楚要传递的信息，发送出去的信息可能是模糊不清的。但我们不能因为使用者的使用不当而责备仪器，是不是？
在导游解说的时候，我观看着桌上这副被称为“思想仪”的小东西。它们看上去像金属带子。那么普通，但却那么神通广大！正当我还在观察时，运送带向前移动了。
导游：女士们先生们，现在我们到了“环保地带”。以前人们习惯用垃圾箱收集废弃物，然后这些垃圾被送走埋掉或烧掉，我说得对吧？(我们都点头。)可现在我们有一种装置，能利用生态学原理来处理掉废弃物。一架巨大的机器，能把所有能获得的废弃物都吞进去，而且总是贪得无厌。然后垃圾被分解成了几种有用的物质，如庄稼地的“肥料”和沙漠中的“土壤”。什么都不浪费，所有的东西，哪怕是塑料袋也回收利用了。伟大的创意，对不对？
我注视着缓缓移动的垃圾分解机器模型，为它的成效所吸引。但是，我们又开始向前移动了。
导游：第三站要展示给我们的是工作实践方面的一些变化。批量生产不再在地球上进行，而是转移到了像这样的太空站里。在太空里，一组工程师给机器人设计了程序让它们完成工作。机器人生产像药品、衣服、家具和汽垫车等等东西。没有废弃物、没有污染，也没有环境破坏。但是，这些公司必须培训他们的代表能在太空中生活和工作。他们必须在此监控机器人和生产过程。一旦货物齐备，就用工用太空船运送到地球。
我的思绪开始漫游。我能从事什么工作呢？当我想到这个奇妙的未来世界时，我兴趣倍增、干劲十足！

Ⅱ.七选五
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Urbanization
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 1900, 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 ninety?five 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 ninety?five farmers to feed five city people, one American farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non?farmers.
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.
篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了城市化的进程。
1．E 第一段主要讲述了在过去城市非常少，大多数人都是住在农场或乡村里。根据主旨可知，应选E。并且E项与设空处下一句也形成语义上的对比和呼应。
2．D 空格前一句中的beginning与D项中的Soon相对应。句意：英国只是个开始，之后一些其他的工业国家也成为城市化的社会。故选D。
3．B 空格所在的段落通过列举数据来体现现在城市化在进一步加速。由上文可知，绝大多数的美国人住在城市里，少部分住在农场里，因此此空说明剩下的人居住在何地。故选B。
4．A 设空处前两句阐述过去城市规模不可能大的原因，故选A项，与前面的意思呼应。
5．F 空格前一句阐述工业革命打破了此前城市和乡村的这种平衡，可知空格处是对前一句内容的进一步阐述，也是对后一句(农业生产率空前提升)的引领，故选F。
