11．Most of my friends are moving outside the city..to avoid the noise，smog，traffic，and crime of the city．
One friend says，"The air is heavily polluted in the city，so I prefer to live outside，where the air is clean．"
Another friend is unpleased with the traffic，"Downtown is crowded with cars!You can't find a parking place，and the traffic jams are terrible．"Everyone is worried about crime，"The city is full of criminals-it's toodangerous．"
For them，the rural（鄉(xiāng)村的） life is a cure for all problems，green grass，flowers，swimming pools，barbecues，and so on．Yet after they have lived there for a year or so，they realize that rural life is not so pleasant as they were expecting．Why？Their gardens！They soon learn that the main part of rural life is yard work．After they work all weekend in their gardens，they're too tired to swim in their pools or cook some meat on their barbecues．And they can't live in the countryside without a car．Most of them moved to the countryside to avoid traffic，but now they're blocked on a busy freeway two hours every day to drive to work downtown．
My opinions about urban life are different-I love to live downtown!Why？First，in the city，I can enjoy nature．I can walk through the park．smell．the flowers，sit on the grass and visit the animals in the zoo．Yet I don't have to do yard work or feed the animals．Also，I can get everywhere by bus； if there is a traffic jam，I can walk home．I think the criminal life will reflect changes in society too； if people are buying homes outside the city，the criminals will soon follow．Criminals want to avoid noise，smog，and pollution，too．Then，overcrowding and crime will be problems of the suburbs instead of the city!
21．The first paragraph is used  toC．
A．list some figures    
B．make comparison
C．lead to the topic    
D．give suggestions
22．What did those moving outside think of their life in the city？D

B．Convenient．
C．Colorful．
D．Crowded．
23．What is the major problem for those who live in the countryside？B

D．Suffering heavy traffic on the road．
24．What is the author's attitude to his city life？A

D．Doubtful．

分析 本文講述的作者的朋友因為城市的擁擠，噪音，霧霾和犯罪而搬到城外，但農(nóng)村的生活最大的問題就是要打理花園，作者也表達自己的觀點．

解答 21．C 考查推理判斷題．根據(jù)第一段提到Most of my friends are moving outside the city..to avoid the noise，smog，traffic，and crime of the city我的許多朋友搬到城外來避免噪音，霧霾，堵塞和城市犯罪，用來引出主題，故選C項．
22．D 考查細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段提到Downtown is crowded with cars!You can't find a parking place，and the traffic jams are terrible．城市里面太擁擠，找不到停車位，故選D項．
23．B 考查細節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第二段提到Y(jié)et after they have lived there for a year or so，they realize that rural life is not so pleasant as they were expecting．Why？Their gardens！They soon learn that the main part of rural life is yard work當在鄉(xiāng)下生活一段時間后他們意識到，鄉(xiāng)村的生活不是那么的快樂，因為他們要打理花園，故選B項．
24．A 考查推理判斷題．根據(jù)最后一段提到My opinions about urban life are different-I love to live downtown我喜歡城市，可知作者是支持城市生活的，故選A項．

點評 本篇文章難點在推理判斷題上．推理判斷題要以表面文字為前提，以具體事實為依據(jù)進行推理，做出判斷．這種推理方式比較直接，考生只要弄清事實，即可結(jié)合上下文推斷出合理的結(jié)論．

19．The role of a newspaper is to present and comment on the news．It is vital for keeping people well-informed on current affairs．In most Western countries，journalists try to shape the ideas and opinions of their readers，since in Western countries all newspapers are independent of the government．Some newspaper owners support liberal ideas including economic policies that help poor people．Other owners want policies such as lower taxes for rich people and less money to be given to poor people．You can almost judge the political ideas of a person in the West by looking at the newspaper he reads．

All these articles require many journalists who are experts in different areas of life．All these articles come together and are checked by the chief editor of the newspaper．When he or she has made a decision on the articles，the newspaper is prepared for printing．All this work means that the journalists must work together as a team because there is a lot of pressure when you work in a newspaper office．There are constant deadlines and articles have to be fitted round advertisements，photographs and much，much more．
5．What does the underlined word"be fitted"mean？B
A．be suitable  
B．be put
C．be read      
D．be measured

16．At 2 pm on 5 December 1945，five US bombers took off from Fort Lauderlale in the USA for a training flight in perfect weather．Shortly afterwards，the pilots radioed that their flight instruments were all malfunctioning．Two hours after take-off，all contact with the planes was lost．A reconnaissance plane was immediately sent off to search for the missing planes．Within 20 minutes，radio contact with it had also been lost．No trace of any of the planes was ever found．In all，six planes and 27 men had disappeared into the air．
