Question

The United Nations is warning that the world is not prepared to deal with the fast growth of cities. The World Economic and Social Survey 2013 calls for new ways to meet the needs of city populations. More than 6.5 billion people are expected to be living in cities by 2050.
Most new city dwellers will be in developing countries. The United Nations says the effect on limited resources in many countries will be huge. The World Economic and Social Survey points to the increasing demand for energy, water, sanitation, public services, education and health care.
The world population is expected to rise to more than nine billion by 2050, two-thirds of all people are expected to live in cities. The United Nations says about 80 percent of this growing urban population will be found in Africa and Asia.
The report says sustainable development of urban areas requires coordination and investments to deal with important issues, these include land-use, food security, job creation and transportation.
Willem Van Der Geest is with the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, he says cities need to work closely with rural communities, so that food supplies can be secured, and the environment can be protected.
"We need enough integration(整合，融合) with cities... An integration between the rural and urban economies is absolutely vital for issues of nutrition, food security, and environmental sustainability."
The report says development in a sustainable（可持續(xù)發(fā)展）way is important to end poverty. The report also examines the problem of food insecurity, which affects hundreds of millions of people around the world. One in eight people still severely lack nutrition.
UN officials say some things are clear. The Assistant Secretary-General for Economic Development, Shamshad Akhtar, says world food production will have to increase by 70%, that increase will be needed to feed the additional 2.3 billion people expected on the planet by the middle of the century. She says an important part of meeting that need is to waste less food. "There has to be efforts to reduce food wastage. ."
Food and nutrition security are core elements of the sustainable development agenda.

Answer 1

小題1:A
小題2:B
小題3:D
小題4:D

試題分析：世界還沒有做好處理如此快速城市化的準備，因此這個機構(gòu)要拿出新辦法來滿足城市人口的需要，以及城市化進程面臨的挑戰(zhàn)，一些措施：大力整合城市可以改進營養(yǎng)不良、土地、食品安全等問題，同時提到緩解貧窮的重要方式是可持續(xù)發(fā)展，其核心要素要重視食品營養(yǎng)安全。
小題1:A 細節(jié)理解題。文章只是說“call for”，且下文還提出了可行辦法。故A觀點片面；B項根據(jù)第七段第一句“The report says development in a sustainable（可持續(xù)發(fā)展）way is important to end poverty.”可知正確；C項根據(jù)第四段最后一句“these include land-use, food security, job creation and transportation.”正確；D項與第七段第二句相符。故選A。
小題2:B 推理判斷題。A項說得太過絕對，且最后可清楚知道“wast eless food”是方式之一；B項根據(jù)第二段“he United Nations says the effect on limited resources in many countries will be huge.”、第三段“The United Nations says about 80 percent of this growing urban population will be found in Africa and Asia.”可知是正確。C項原文直接出現(xiàn)；D 項根據(jù)第八段說：糧食生產(chǎn)必必需增加到70%，增加的這部分將可供養(yǎng)2.3 billion people。所以不對。
小題3:D 主旨大意題。文章主要講未來全球人口增長極城市化進程，在進程中面臨的挑戰(zhàn)以及一些解決措施。A項，文章通過對2013年世界經(jīng)濟和社會調(diào)查引出城市化面臨的問題，是文章內(nèi)容之一；B項第三段第一句話提到，是個觀點之一；C 項第五段第一句后面“he says cities need to work closely with rural communities,”也是觀點之一；故D 正確。
小題4:D 歸納總結(jié)題。A 教科書；B 旅游指南；C 小說；D 報紙；文章涉及熱點問題集出現(xiàn)較多的專業(yè)人員、專業(yè)術(shù)語。故D正確。
