Question

In the countryside of China, many people are moving to cities to find work. They move because often there isn’t much work in the countryside. Services like hospitals and schools are usually not very nice there.

But in the big cities like London, New York, Paris, people are moving out. They want to live a quiet life. They don’t like the city because the city is noisy and dirty（脏的）. The traffic is heavy. Living in the cities costs too much. They want a house with a garden and clean air. So they move to the countryside with clean water and green trees. There, they begin new lives and try to make new friends.

【解析】

试题分析：本文描述的是中、西国家，人口游动的不同情况。在中国，很多农村人搬到城市里去找工作；而在伦敦、纽约、巴黎等大城市里，人们搬到农村，去过安静的生活。

1.F细节理解题。句意：在农村，通常有许多工作做。由第一段第二句：They move because often there isn’t much work in the countryside.可知，在农村人们找不到许多工作做。故本句错误。

2.细节理解题。题意：在中国为什么许多人从农村搬到城市去？由短文第一句：In the countryside of China, many people are moving to cities to find work.可知，在中国农村，许多人搬到城市去是为了找工作。故填：for/to work

3.细节理解题。题意：城市的生活成本怎样？由第二段里的：Living in the cities costs too much.可知，生活在大城市里的花费太多，生活成本高。故填：high

4.翻译题。Want要，想要；with带有，具有。故译成：他们想要带有花园的房子和洁净的空气。

5.细节理解题。题意：为什么一些人从城市里搬到农村？由短文第二段可知：因为人们不喜欢城市的吵闹和脏乱，交通拥挤，生活成本高。所以他们搬到农村。故回答：Because the city is noisy and dirty and they want to live a quiet life. / Because the traffic is heavy and living in the cities costs too much.
