Here the traditional picture is changing: every small town may still be very like other small towns, and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country, but most Americans do not live in small towns any more. Half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas (large cities with their suburbs) of more than a million people each-a larger proportion than in Germany or England, let alone France. The statistics (统计) of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day. As the rush to live out of town continues, rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses, so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb. But more and more the typical American lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment.尽管美国有大量的土地而且生产的事物超出现有人口的需要，它的人民现在几乎完全是城市化的社会。全国不到1/10的人从事农业和林业，而且其它大多数人都生活在城镇里或附近，不过城镇是大还是小。传统的局面正在改变：每个小镇之间仍然非常相像。典型的小镇代表了国家里被广泛认可的看法，但是大多数美国人不再居住在小城镇。现在将近一半的人口居住在大约30个大城市地区（包括大城市和郊区），每个城市有100多万的人口，占德国，英国的很大一部分，更不用说法国。要小心统计城市和农村的人口因为很多住在城里的人每天开车去附近的城镇上班。由于人们都想搬出城镇，在城镇范围内的农村地区正慢慢地/逐渐盖满了房子，因此很难估计一块农村用地哪天会变成郊区。但是越来越多的典型美国人都住在大都市里而不是小城镇。36. If now America has 250 million people, how many of them are engaged in agriculture and forestry? 如果美国有250百万人口，那么有多少人从事农业和林业？ A. About 25 million. B. More than 25 million.C. Less than 25 million. D. Less than 225 million.37. Which of the following four countries has the smallest proportion of people living in metropolitan areas? 下列哪个国家住在大都市的人口是最少的？（法国）A. United States. B. Germany. C. France. D. England.38. Whats the meaning of the word metropolitan in the middle of the passage?Metropolitan在文章里是什么意思？A. Of a large city with its suburbs. B. Of small and large towns.C. Of urban areas. D. Of rural areas.39. According to the passage, what can we learn about small towns in the United States?根据短文，我们可以了解关于小城镇的一些信息？A. Most small towns become gradually crowded.B. Small towns are still similar to each other.小城镇互相之间仍然很相似。C. As the traditional picture is changing, towns are different.D. Small towns are turning into large cities.40. Why is it hard to say when a piece of country becomes a suburb?为什么很难估计一块农村用地哪天会变成郊区？A. Because they are the same. B. Because the rush takes place too quickly.C. Because the process is gradual.因为这个过程是逐渐的。D. Because more and more Americans live in metropolitan areas.Passage 3If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago, we should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an answer to the question.如果别人问我们一年前正在做的事情,我们可能不得不说我们不记得了.但是如果我们有本笔记而且记下每天做的事情,我们就能够回答这个问题了.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4, 000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call remembered history. Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.历史也是如此.由于我们没有书面的纪录,许多事情都被遗忘了.有时人们确实纪录了他们国家里的重大事件,但经常由于战争或火灾而没有保存下来.有时根本没有书面纪录因为那个时候那个地方的人们不知道写字。比如，我们非常了解4000年前居住在中国的人们，因为他们为后来人留下了书面纪录。但是我们对200年前生活在中非的人们几乎一无所知，因为他们还没有学会写字。当然，有时即使人们不会写字，他们也可以知道过去的事情。他们从老一辈那听过来，通常纪录重大事件的是歌曲，舞蹈和故事的形式，而且被许多代人传唱和表演。因为大多数人对讲父辈们的过去感到非常自豪。这我们可以叫做“被记住的历史”，很多这样的历史已经成为书面纪录。它并不象书面的历史那么准确或有价值，因为语言在转述的过程中比抄写更容易受改变。但是假如没有书面纪录，这些流传的故事还是很有帮助的。41. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?下列哪个句子文章没有提到？A. Remembered history, compared with written history, is less reliable.B. Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human history.C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to be able to answer many questions.D. Where there are no written records, there is no history. 如果没有书面纪录,就没有历史。42. We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because _.我们对生活在200年前的中非一无所知是由于A. there was nothing worth being written down at that timeB. the people there ignored the importance of keeping a recordC. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fireD. the people there did not know how to write当地人不会写字。43. Remembered history refers to _.“被纪录的历史”是指A. history based on a persons imaginationB. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouth口头转述的重大事件的故事C. songs and dances about the most important events 根据重大事件改改编的歌曲和舞蹈 D. both B and C B和C44. Remembered history is regarded as valuable only when _.“被纪录的历史”只有在没有书面纪录的时候才被认为是有价值。A. it is written down B. no written account is availableC. it proves to be true D. people are interested in it45. The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than wedo now if the ancient people had _.短文表明如果古代人能纪录过去发生的每件事情那么现代人就可以更多的了解古代。A. kept a written record of every past event B. not burnt their written records in warsC. told exact stories of the most important happenings D. made more songs and dancesPart IV.
