AHowever urban life strikes you，cities worldwide have been growing even more rapidly．Some of this growth has occurred in the developed world，but the most dramatic increase has been in the Third World．Almost all the world’s population growth over the next 30 years will take place in t he cities of developing countriesBy the year 2030，for the first time in history，60 percent of the world’s people will be living incities．This is actually good news in some ways．“Cities are the fundamental building blocks of prosperity,” says Marc Weiss，chairman of the Prague Institute for Global Urban Development，“ both for the nation and for families．” Industrial and commercial activities in urban areas account for between 50 and 80 percent of the gross domestic product （GDP）in most countries of the wo rld“ there’s the crazy notion that the way to deal with a city’s problems is to keep people out of them,” Weiss continued．“But the problems of the rural life are even more serious than those of the city．” For better or worse，urban-watchers are clear on one point: The quality of life for most people in the future will be determined by the quality of cities．Those cities will be bigger than ever．And yet，population numbers by themselves don’t determine a city’s prospects；after all，Addis Ababa，Ethiopia，and Hamburg，Germany，have the same population．Nor is explosive growth necessarily the determining factor．“City problems,” one authority points out，“mostly have to do with weak，ineffective，and usually unrepresentative city governments．”21．The passage mainly discusses ______________．A．Big cities．B．City life．C．Population．D．Gross Domestic Product．22．According to the passage，in the year of 2030 _______．A．there will be 21 cities having a population of more than 10 million．B．rural area will be extinct．C．most people will live in cities．D．the third world will keep abreast with the developed world．23．In the author’s opinion，_________．A．better city，better lifeB．both urban and rural areas have a larger populationC．the larger population，the faster a city developsD．both urban and rural areas have larger gross domestic products24．The last paragraph implies that ____________．A．public services are ineffective．B．cities are increasing too fast．C．population is not linked with development．D．government should be responsible for the problems in the cities．BFood festivals around the worldStilton Cheese RollingMay Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include these rolling in their annual plans. Teams of four,dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes , roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors' lane. Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the competitors arc served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese. Fiery Foods Festival-The Hottest Festival on EarthEvery year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction-food that is not just spicy ,but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three clays every March. You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper-officially the hottest pepper in the world-or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one thing's for sure-if you don't like the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn't for you!La Tomatina-The World's Biggest Food FightOn the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bunol hosts Ea Tomatina-the world's largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week's events. The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes-official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at thecrowd.The battle lasts little more than half an hour, in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back. Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again-and for a much-needed wash!25.

An exciting tomato battle takes place at the beginning of La Tomatina.CThe Coalition for the Homeless is an organization that seeks to address the needs of the homeless population in the United States. It is a network of offices, some of which provide food and houses for the homeless population, and some of which fight for the passing of laws that of over two hundred million people living in the United States, up to three million are homeless-and the number is still growing. Since the late 1970s,fast rising house prices, large cuts in government supported housing programs, and economic recession(经济衰退)have made it impossible for many Americans to meet housing costs. Sadly, this has resulted in a number of persons being forced to leave their homes and/or unable to find new affordable homes. According to another research, families with children appear to be the fastest-growing part of the homeless population, making up 39% of it. The old idea of a homeless person, that of the single man who gets drunk all the time, is no longer true. A much lager part of the population now finds itself homeless. Even worse, once a person becomes homeless, he often finds it impossible to find a job, since most employers require anyone who wants a job from them to provide a home address on a job application.29. The word "address" in the first line probably means .A. talk aboutB. deal withC. fight forD. write to30. How many people are homeless in the U.S. according to the Coalition studies?A. 39% of the population.B. 200 million people.C. About 3 million people.D. About one-fifth of the population.31. Homeless people often have difficulty finding a job because .A. they have no home addressesB. they mostly have a drinking problemC. they aren't supported by government programsD. they often don't have enough work experience32.. What is the main cause of the rising number of the homeless in the U.S.?A. The passing of new housing laws.B. The fast growth of family size.C. The slow construction of houses.D. The ever-rising price of housing.D.Life expectancy is rising in much of the world. But doctors are seeing another trend that is disturbing. Some people are choosing lifestyles that contribute to early death. It used to be rare for people to live to 100. But babies born can hope to live that long.In the 20th century, life expectancy in wealthy nations increased by as much as 30 years. Average life expectancy for Americans is 78.But doctors are seeing people adopt bad habits that can cut their lives short, like eating too much or eating too much junk food, exercising too little and smoking cigarettes. These habits increase the risk for cancer, diabetes (糖尿病), heart disease and stroke (中风)．Researchers wanted to find out how many years are lost with these lifestyle choices. “What we found was that high blood pressure; smoking, overweight/obesity and high blood glucose (血糖) account for five years of loss of life expectancy in men and about four years in women at the national level，” Goodarz Danaei said.The researchers broke down the data into race, income and locale and they found even greater differences. Middleincome whites have the best blood pressure. But AsianAmericans have fewer bad habits and the best health.The researchers found a 14year difference in life expectancy between AsianAmerican and AfricanAmerican men who can expect to live an average of 67 years. "AfricanAmerican men inthe south have the lowest life expectancy, along with AfricanAmerican men living in highrisk urban areas, places like downtown Los Angeles，”Danaei explained.AfricanAmerican women are another group with low life expectancy because of their high rates of obesity. People battling excess weight have higher rates of disability, diabetes and heart disease —disorders that make them sicker at younger ages and dependent on medications for many years.33．How many bad lifestyles are mentioned in the passage?A. 1.B. 2.C. 3.D. 4.34．Why does the writer say babies born can hope to live to 100?A. Because newlyborn babies haven't create their lifestyles.B. Because newlyborn babies are better in health.C. Because newlyborn babies live in a wealthy country.D. Because newlyborn babies can get more from people.35．Which of the following statements is NOT right according to the last paragraph?A. Many African American women are overweight.B. How to fight against overweight is still a problem.C. Young people are easy to get overweight.D. Overweight is one cause to short life expectancy.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）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。
