There are 5 tasks for you to fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1Directions:After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 to 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choicesmarked A), B), C) and D). You should make the correct choice and mark thecorresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.In many countries in the process of industrialization, overcrowded cities present a major problem. Poor conditions in these cities, such as lack of housing, inadequate sanitation (卫生) and lack of employment, bring about an increase in poverty, disease and crime.The over-population of towns is mainly caused by the drift of large numbers of people from the rural areas. These people have become dissatisfied with the traditional lift of farming, and have come to the towns hoping for better work and pay.One possible solution to the problem would be to impose registration on town residents. Only officially registered residents would be allowed to live in the towns and the urban population would thus be limited. In practice, however, registration would be very difficult to enforce (推行); it would cause a great deal of resentment (不满), which would ultimately lead to violence.The only long-term solution is to make life in the rural areas more attractive, which would encourage people to stay there. This could be achieved by providing encouragement for people to go and work in the villages. Facilities in the rural areas，such as transport, health and education services should be improved. Education should include training in improved methods of farmingand other rural industries, so as to develop a more positive attitude towards rural life. The improvement of life in the villages is very important, because the towns themselves cannot be developed without the simultaneous or previous development of the rural area.36. W hat does the word “urban” (Line 3, Para. 3) mean? AA) Of the city. B) out of work. C) In a bad condition. D) Of enormous size.37.

If you are calling from a noisy area, use your hand to direct your voice into the microphone.Many people believe that they can’t live without their mobile phone.
