Section A
Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrasesmarked A, B. C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
For almost 5,000 years, cities changed little. Then their growth, in size and number, was so rapid that it has been called anurban revolutionorurban explosion.In 1700, less than 2 percent of the population of Great Britain lived in cities, but by 1900, the majority of the British did so.Other European countries and the United States soon31the same level of urbanization inan even shorter period. Today, these and other Western countries are32themosturbanized in the world, along with many Latin American countries, which have become mostly urbanized inmorerecent years.
In the 1960s, the Word Health Organization(WHO) began a campaign to get rid of the mosquitoes that transmit the disease malaria. It was a noble goal, since malaria kills a(n) (21)(estimate) 3 million people each year in the world’s tropical regions, mainly southern Africa. WHO led an effort to spray the mosquitoes’habitat with a chemical pesticide---a poison used to kill insects---called DDT. Early results were promising and the mosquito (22)(eliminate) from the edge of its native range. The effort soon faltered, however, and the killing plan was drooped. How was it (23)a tiny mosquito could spoil the best efforts of a large group of well-funded scientists?
There is, then, displacement of people from rural to urban areas(population displosion)and a greater35of people in a limited area(population implosion).The development of other new technologiesspurs onurbanization.Improved transportation, for example,speeds the36offood and other materials to urban centers.
Situations like this one (24)(occur) dozens of times in the last several decades. In a common scenario, whenever a new type of pesticide is used to control agricultural pests, the early results are encouraging. A relatively small amount of the poison dusted onto a crop may kill 99% of the insects. However, the relatively few survivors of the first pesticide wave are insects with genes (25)somehow enable them to resist the chemical attack. The poison kills most members of the insect population, (26)(leave) only the resistant individuals to reproduce. And (27)they do, their offspring inherit the genes for pesticide resistance. In each generation, the proportion of pesticide-resistant individuals in the insect population increases, making subsequent spraying (28)(effective).(29)the widespreaduse of chemical pesticides began in the 1940s, scientists havedocumented pesticide resistance in more than 500 species of insects. The problems such insects pose—through their impact on agriculture and medicine—are just some of the many ways that evolution has a direct connection to our daily lives. Everywhere, all the time, populations oforganisms are fine-tuning adaptations (30)local environments through the evolutionaryprocess of natural selection. Given the dynamics of Earth and its life, it is not surprising that even the kinds of organisms on the planet---the species---have changed over time.

Industrialization first causesarise inproduction growth, and the mechanization of fanning brings about anagricultural surplus. Fewer farmers can support more people---andthus larger urban populations.Workers no longer34on the farms move to thecity.
We've all heard the dangers of helicopter parenting. Remaining too41in a kid's life,especially throughout college, can lead to depression, lack of self-reliance and feelings ofentitlement.
The major stimulus to the urban explosion was the Industrial Revolution. It triggered a series of related events,33by sociologist Philip Hauser (1981) as population explosion, followed by population explosionand population implosion, and then bytechnophile.
The37of these events was theindustrial city.Compared with the preindustrial city,the industrial city was larger, more densely settledand more diverse.It was a place where large numbers of people—with a wide range of skills, interests, and cultural backgrounds---could liveand work together in a(n)38 C space. Also, unlike the preindustrialcity,whichhad served39as a religious or government center, the industrial city was a commercial hub. In fact, its abundant job opportunity attracted so many ruralmigrants that migration40forthelargest share of its population growth. Without these migrants, cities would not have grownat allbecause of the high mortality rate brought about by extremely poor sanitary conditions.
