In 1800, only three percent of the world's population lived in cities. Only one city — Beijing — had a population of over a million. Most people lived in rural areas, and never saw a city in their lives. In 1900, just a hundred years later, roughly 150 million people lived in cities, and the world’s ten largest cities all had populations exceeding one million. By 2000, the number of city dwellers exceeded three billion; and in 2008, the world's population crossed a tipping point — more than half of the people on Earth lived in cities. By 2050, that could increase to over two-thirds. Clearly, humans have become an urban species.
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, many people viewed cities negatively — crowded, dirty environments full of disease and crime. They feared that as cities got bigger, living conditions would worsen. In recent decades, however, attitudes have changed. Many experts now think urbanization (城市化) is good news, offering solutions to the problems of Earth’s growing population.
Harvard economist Edward Glaeser, author of The Victory of the Cir, is one such person. Glaeser argues that cities are very productive because “the absence of space between people” reduces the cost of transporting goods, people, and ideas. While the flow of goods has always been important to cities, what is most important today is the flow of ideas. Successful cities enable people to learn from each other easily, and attract and reward smart people with higher wages. Another urbanization supporter is environmentalist Stewart Brand. Brand believes cities help the environment because they allow haft of the world’s population to live on about four percent of the land. This leaves more space for open country, such as farmland. City dwellers also have less impact per person on the environment than people in the countryside. Their roads, sewers, and power lines need fewer resources to build and operate. City apartments require less energy to heat, cool, and light. Most importantly, people in cities drive less so they produce fewer greenhouse gases per person.
So it’s a mistake to see urbanization as evil; it’s a natural part of development. The challenge is how to manage the growth.
4．What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?
A. The history of modern cities.
B. Changes taking place within cities.
C. How cities have grown over time.
D. Why modern cities are changing.
5． How have experts’ attitudes towards cities changed in recent decades?
A. They now view the weaknesses as strengths.
B. They no longer see city-riving as attractive.
C. They accept city life in spite of its problems.
D. They think city-riving provides more benefits.
6． Which of the following would Edward Glaeser agree with?
A. Cities provide more economic opportunities.
B. City people get along better with each other.
C. Over-crowded cities result in problems.
D. Cities limit the flow of ideas.
7．According to Paragraph 4, what would be the result of moving people out of cities?
A. Economic production would be reduced.
B. There would be less farmland available.
C. People would travel less frequently.
D. House values would fall greatly.
From my earlier memory of Mother it somehow seemed quite natural to think of her as different, nor of everyday things as Father was. In those days he was a young-looking man. He did not hesitate to make friends with children as soon as they were able to talk to him and laugh at his stories. Mother was older than he was. She must have been a woman of nearly forty, but she seemed even older. She changed little for a long time, showing no indication of growing old at all until, towards the end of her life, she suddenly became an old lady.
I was always inquisitive about Mother’s age. She never had birthdays like other people, nor did anyone else in our family. No candles were ever lit or cakes made or presents given in our house. To my friends in the street who talked delightfully about their birthday parties, I would repeat my mother’s words that such celebrations were only foolish.
“Nothing but deception,” she would say. “As though life can be marked by birthdays. It’s deeds, not years, that matter.”
Although I often repeated her words and even prided myself on not having birthdays, I once could not help asking Mother when she was born.
“I was born. I’m alive as you can see, so what more do you want to know?” she replied, so sharply that I never asked her about her age again.
In so many other ways Mother was different. Whereas all the rest of the women I knew in the neighboring hoses took pride in their housewifely abilities, their new furniture, the neat appearance of their homes, Mother regarded all those things as of little importance. Our house always looked as if we had just moved in or were about to move out.
8． How did Father impress the author?
A. He liked writing stories.
B. He loved making friends.
C. He was a very young man.
D. He was popular with children.
9．Before the end of her life, Mother ___________.
A. looked quite young
B. looked like an old lady
C. looked younger than she was
D. looked like a forty-year-old woman
10．What does the word “inquisitive” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Certain
B. Curious.
C. Cautious.
D. Confident.
11．What do we learn about Mother?
A. She was lazy.
B. She was strict.
C. She was proud.
D. She was special
In today’s consumer world, we’ve never had so much, yet it seems we’ve never been so unsatisfied. The cost of housing has been rising for decades, and the cost to the planet has been huge, too. But there is a way to live a simpler, greener, and more affordable life: buy a TinyDwelling home!
TinyDwelling homes are very small, yet comfortable houses at affordable prices. Each TinyDwelling home has a contemporary design and included a living room, kitchen, bathroom, upstairs sleeping area, and convenient storage space. TinyDwelling homes are cheap to run and ecologically-friendly, too. All you need is a small heater to keep your house warm in cold weather, and solar panels (太阳能电池板) in order to provide light and electricity.
TinyDwelling is part of the small-living movement that began in the late 1990s. Back then, a growing number of people began to live in very small homes. They wanted to reduce their
possessions, living space, and energy costs, so as to lead more ecologically-friendly lives. But the small-living movement really took off after the economic crisis of 2008, when many people realized that they couldn’t afford to keep large homes.
Lizzy Morriaon, a small-living enthusiast, started TinyDwelling homes in 2008 to meet the needs of these people. Since then, Lizzy has been designing and building homes nonstop, and TinyDwelling homes have become so popular that thousands of people have bought one. And Lizzy hasn’t only designing and building houses. She has also been teaching people how to build them. Simply buy the plans and materials so that you can build your own home, and save even more money! 12． It is implied in Paragraph 1 that __________.
A. rich people are very unsatisfied
B. people are damaging the environment
C. there are more poor people than before
D. people spend much money in saving the planet
13． What do we know about the small-living movement?
A. It aimed to handle the economic crisis.
B. It was started by people without houses.
C. It was well received by house designers.
D. It did not become quite popular until 2008.
14．What is the main attraction of TinyDwelling homes?
A. They are affordable.
B. They provide storage space.
C. They have upstairs sleeping area.
D.They are equipped with solar panels.
15． Besides designing TinyDwelling homes, Lizzy also ___________.
A. urged people to buy them.
B. helped people to build them.
C. taught people to save money.
D. offered courses to train designers.
