Many people want to move from the country to the city because they think that life in the city is more exciting and better than that in the rural(农村的) areas, especially younger people who like new, modern things.Often people like to be fashionable and feel they can find the latest styles only in the city. Other people are interested in technological(技术的) things and high tech jobs and think they can find them only in a big city. If they want to find a job, especially a good position in a company, they feel they have to live in a city. To enjoy these jobs, they are willing to put up with many of the disadvantages of city life such as heavy traffic and pollution.However, it is now possible to enjoy a higher quality of life in the countryside and still enjoy some of the advantages living in the city. Nowadays, travel is fast and information is available on the Internet, so many people are able to do their work in home offices.Because they have email and personal computers, they don’t have to be i n big cities to do their business. It is not important where they actually work because the results of their work can be sent everywhere. So, why should they put up with all the disadvantages of the city any longer? Now they can run away from noisy city life to enjoy life in the countryside and still be able to do good business and successful careers(事业).()31.Which column of the newspaper does the passage belong to?A.Health.B.Science.C.Life.()32.From the passage we can infer(推断) that many people think.A.cities offer more chances for them to developB.life in the countryside is very dullC.people live a hard life in the countryside()33.The underlined word “available” in the third paragraph means “”.A.easy to spreadB.difficult to getC.able to be used()34.Which of the following does the author agree to?A.Enjoy quiet country life and you can still be successful in your business.B.Put up with city life and do well in your business.C.Run away from noisy city life but lose the chances of using high tech.()35.What could be the best title of the passage?A.City Life Is Better than That in the CountryB.Why Put up with Life in the City?C.Life in the Country七.七选五阅读Future and TodayIt is well-known that everyone has his own dream as well as his own future. 36.I have to say that future is now. That is to say, we must treasure every minute now. If we want to have a bright future, we should know how important time is and use it well.There is an old English sayin g, “Gain time, gain life.” Then what’s time? Time is something that we can’t see or touch, but we can feel it going by. 37.Whenwe are at table, time passes; when we play, time goes by unnoticeably. We always say “Time is money”, but time is even more precious(珍贵的) than money, because when money is spent, we can earn it back. But if time is gone, it will never return.38.We should always remember: Future is now. For us students, we should try our best to work hard in order to create a great future of our own. We should make the best use of every hour and be the master of today. 39.And never put off what can be done today till tomorrow.As we all know, “Time and tide waits for no man.” If you waste today, you will regret tomorrow. 40.Tomorrow will be better, and your future will be brighter.。
