Question

In China, many people are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities, because the countryside is much poorer than the city, and often there isn’t much work there. Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in the city than in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.

 ①   But in the big cities of Europe like London or Paris, people are moving out of the city. These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of (厭倦) the noise and the dirt of the city, and they are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don’t want to live in the cities any more. They want a house with a garden in the countryside, and breathe the fresh air there. ②   

So they move out of the cities. Some don’t go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities. Other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields. There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.

 ③     After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don’t make so much money and there isn’t much work to do. People in the countryside are very different and aren’t always very friendly.④   

So quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. “It’s wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights.” they say.

試題分析：這篇短文主要討論了到底是移居到城市生活好還是搬到鄉(xiāng)下生活好的問題，作者詳細的列舉了生活在這些地方的一些好處及不足，但是最終也沒有給出明確的結(jié)果。

1.根據(jù)短文第一段描述，可知人們移居到城市工作的原因不是因為吃不上飯，故選B。

2.根據(jù)第二段These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of (厭倦) the noise and the dirt of the city, and they are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses.描述，可知選B。

3.聯(lián)系第四段下文After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake.描述，可知本句描述的是并不是所有的從城市移居到鄉(xiāng)下的人都過的幸福，故選C。

4.這篇短文主要討論了到底是移居到城市生活好還是搬到鄉(xiāng)下生活好的問題，故選C。

考點：關(guān)于生活地點的說明文閱讀

點評：本文中長句較多，一時很難讀懂句子含義，注意多讀幾遍，不要強求非得理解一詞一句的含義，能把握文章大意就行。然后帶著問題閱讀短文，一般就能順利找出答題依據(jù)。對于不能直接找到根據(jù)的問題注意聯(lián)系上下文，根據(jù)短文中心總結(jié)出正確答案。
