问题 Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.
One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own.
Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature.
Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.

选项 1、Which of the following statements is NOT true?
A. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city
B. All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country
C. Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London
D. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside the city

答案B

解析这是一道推断题,本题询问“下列陈述中哪一句是错误的”。这篇文章分别讲述了喜欢乡村生活和喜欢城市生活的两类伦敦居民。答案A“热爱大自然的人们喜欢乡村生活”,答案C“喜欢城市生活的一些人喜欢工作和居住在市区”,答案D“尽管很多人工作在伦敦市区,但因为他们热爱大自然,所以喜欢居住在郊外。”这三句话符合逻辑,也对应文章的内容,所以都是正确的表述,因此答案B“在伦敦工作的人们喜欢居住在乡村”这句话是错误的。
