选项 _________(54)
A:really       
B:ever
C:barely       
D:almost

答案D

解析come out:出版、发表;come on:开始、接着来;come over:过来、顺便来访: come off:结果、脱落。根据句子意思,应该是发表报告,所以选D。
一个世纪前,城市人口应该是非常少,所以选less,即少于5% 。
along:沿着;through:通过、穿过。表示时间的节点用by , by the middle of this century,在本世纪中叶。
barely:几乎不、几乎没有。表示大约的人口数,用almost,意思是“差不多”。
前面应该是和后面的比较,后面用developing world,所以此处填developed。 flourishing:繁荣的、茂盛的;thriving:旺盛的、蒸蒸日上的;fertile:肥沃的、富饶的、多产的。
从上下文判断,这儿指城市人口的增加。extension:扩展;raise:上升、增加,它不和population搭配使用。addition:添加、增加,不可用来修饰人口。所以选growth。
put pressure on是固定搭配,表示“给压力”; restraint:约束、抑制;load:矛载、负荷;weight:重量。
此处指提供住所和服务,即services。 surroundings:环境、生活环境;concerns:关注、关心;communities:社区、团体。
move into是正确的搭配。around:围绕、环绕。
贫富差异会使社会产生进一步的不公平,所以用driven,和后面的by构成被动语态。
此处指社会财富分配的不均,social wealth意思是“社会财富”。situation: 情景;treasure:财宝、珍宝;category:分类、范畴。
本句意思指城市的扩张,用expand恰当。invade:入侵、侵略;split:分裂;enlarge:扩大、放大。
表示速度用at the rate of。 beyond:超过、超越。
在逆城市化的进程中,人们从大城市搬往小城市,四个单词中只有major 表示“重要的、大的”。essential:基本的、本质的;primitive:原始的、粗糙的;prior和to搭配,表示“在……之前”。
此处是一种“de-urbanization”的发展趋势,trend意思正确。direction:指示、方向;style:风格。
