共用题干Cities“Worse to Live in Than 20 Years Ago”
One thousand people were surveyed about a range of issues which affect cities,and the re-markable findings show that life in today's mega-cities is so stressful that at least two-thirds of those currently living in big cities would like to relocate to the countryside or a small town.
The stress of the getting from A to B in big cities is at the top of the list of problems.For many people,the daily commute to work is a source of frustration.40% of the people in the sur-vey have suffered from road rage while stuck in traffic on the way to work.The cost of public transport is also a serious problem.Many people think the price of underground and bus travel is too high and that they have to devote more than 10% of their salary to transport costs.
The general cost of living in cities is another problem.The high property prices in most big cities put buying a property out of reach of most first-time buyers.Many young people are priced out of the housing market,and have to take in lodgers to make ends meet,or rent over-priced flats miles away from the city centre .In London,for instance,the price of buying even a one-bedroom flat is so prohibitive that many have given up even considering putting money aside for a deposit.
Another issue facing people who live in cities is rising crime.Crime rates have rocketed in many big cities,and many say there are several dangerous no-go areas in their city.Fear of crime is on the increase-street crimes,such as mugging and assault,are now very common-and many are afraid of going out at night alone.
Many were also concerned by the lack of green spaces and play facilities for children.Most major conurbations(有卫星城的大都市)surveyed have a far smaller number of parks and gar- dens than a generation ago.Planning permission seems to have been given for an ever-greater number of supermarkets,office developments and apartments on sites where there were previously green spaces.Many of the respondents in the survey said they felt stressed and suffocated in the city,a problem which is compounded by pollution.
And finally,the majority of people in the survey were fed up with the constant noise pollu-lion—the roar of traffic , the sound of loud music blaring(发刺耳声)out of a neighbour's win-dow,and the constant sound of activity.It is not surprising,then,that the levels of stress-related illnesses among people who live in cities are higher than ever before .Big cities,once a mecca for ambitious people seeking fameJ and fortune,are now less and less popular among people of all ages .Perhaps the 21st century is set to be the century of the small town and the countryside.
选项
Most people in the survey who live in big cities would like to move somewhere smaller.A: Right B: Wrong C:.Not mentioned
答案
A
解析
由第一段中的“ at least two-thirds of those currently living in big cities would like to relocate to the countryside or a small town”可知,在调查中,大多居住在大城市中的人想要迁居至乡村或小镇,即更小的地方。故选A。 由第二段末句中的“Many people think the price of underground and bus travel is too high”可知,很多人认为地铁和公交的收费过高。由此可知,在调查中,很多人认为公共交通的收费并不合理。故选B。 由第三段最后一句“In London, for instance, the price of buying even a one-bedroom flat is so prohibitive that many have given up even considering putting money aside for a deposit.”可知,因为房价太高,所以在伦敦很难买到房子。故选A。 由第四段首句“Another issue facing people who live in cities is rising crime.”可知,犯罪率近年来并没保持稳定。故选B0 由第五段第二句“Most major conurbations surveyed have a far smaller number of parks and gardens than a generation ago.”可以推断,城市中的绿化区域较之以前减少了。故选A。 通读全文可以发现文章并未提及伦敦在减少污染方面的成功案例。故选C。 由最后一段首句中的“the majority of people in the survey were fed up with the constant noise pollution”可以推断,受调查的很多人认为噪音污染是个大问题。故选A。
