解析試題分析：這篇短文通過表格的形式比較了城市里的孩子和鄉(xiāng)村里的孩子在上學(xué)的方式、教具、視力、課外活動(dòng)、家庭作業(yè)、雜事、家人及夢(mèng)想等方面的相同和不同之處。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章的開頭some children live in the countryside, and some live in the city，一些孩子住在農(nóng)村，一些孩子住在城市，可知這里比較的是孩子，即學(xué)生的各方面不同的情況。由表格中的比較內(nèi)容我們也可以看出這里在比較的是學(xué)生，故選B。
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)表格中chores to do 這一欄，我們可以看到城市里的孩子Usually no chores，通常不做雜事，這里的雜事指的就是家務(wù)活，故城市里的孩子通常不做家務(wù)活。故選D。
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。這一題目考查的是eyesight 這一項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容，通過瀏覽表格我們可知農(nóng)村的孩子Less than 45% are near-sighted，不到45%的學(xué)生近視；而城市里的孩子About 75% are near-sighted 大約75%的學(xué)生近視，那么由此我們可以知道農(nóng)村中視力好的學(xué)生應(yīng)是55%，而城市中是25%。故選A。
【小題4】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。這一題問的是文中沒有提到的是哪個(gè)，縱觀表格中的這些比較項(xiàng)目我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)，homework、dream jobs、after-class activities都提到了，唯有subjects 科目，沒有提到，故選B。
【小題5】推理判斷題。根據(jù)文中homework 這一欄中城市的孩子Homework never ends，家庭作業(yè)永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)停止可知，對(duì)于城市里的孩子來說家庭作業(yè)是非常多的。故C這個(gè)選項(xiàng)的描述是正確的。A、B兩項(xiàng)文中并沒有提到；D選項(xiàng)的表達(dá)和原文城市中的孩子經(jīng)常有Small families，小家庭是不符的，故D也不對(duì)。選C。
考點(diǎn)：社會(huì)現(xiàn)象類短文閱讀。

In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what "keeping up withthe Joneses" is about. It is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.
The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant(仆人) and gave big parties for their new neighbors.
It was like a race, but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.
Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it "Keeping up with the Joneses" because "Jones" is a very common name in the United States. "Keeping up with the Joneses" came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’ s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.
【小題1】Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they _______.

A．want to be as rich as their neighbors
B．want others to know or to think that they are rich
C．don't want others to know they are rich
D．want to make themselves happy
【小題2】It can be inferred（推斷）from the story that rich people like to_______.
A．live outside New York CityB．live in New York city
C．live in apartmentsD．have many neighbors
【小題3】According to the writer, it is_______ to keep up with the Joneses.
