than 5,500 years ago. 16 in fact, nearly everyone lived on farms or in tiny rural (乡村的) villages. it was not until the 20th century that great britain became the first urban society in historya society in which the majority of people live in cities and do not farm for a living.britain was only the beginning. 17 the process of urbanizationmigration (迁移) of people from the countryside to the city was the result of modernization, which has rapidly transformed how people live and where they live.in 1990, fewer than 40% of americans lived in urban areas. today, over 82% of americans live in cities. only about 2% live on farms. 18 .large cities were impossible until agriculture became industrialized. even in advanced agricultural societies. it took about ninety-five people on farms to feed five people in cities. 19 until modern times, those living in cities were mainly the ruling elite(精英) and the servants, laborers and professionals who served them. cities survived by taxing farmers and were limited in size by the amount of surplus food that the rural population produced and by the ability to move this surplus from farm to city.over the past two centuries, the industrial revolution has broken this balance between the city and the country. 20 today, instead of needing ninety-five farmers to feed five city people, one american farmer is able to feed more than a hundred non-farmers.a. the rest live in small towns. b. that kept cities very small.c. the effects of urban living on people should be considered. d. modern cities have destroyed social relations and the health of human beings.e. modernization drew people to the cities and made farmers more productive.f. but even 200 years ago, only a few people could live in cities. g. soon many other industrial nations become urban societies.第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后面各题所给的四个选项(a、 b、c 和 d)中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。look, its baldy! a boy shouted in my direction across the
