TEXT B
短文大意：本文写的城乡生活的差异及作者的看法。
70．答案：C
【参考译文】第一段作者流给我们的印象是什么？
【试题分析】本题为细节题。
【详细解答】短文第一段第一句说“I am one of the many city people…if it weren’t for my job I would…”说明作者是在城里工作，故选项C为正确答案。
71．答案：A
【参考译文】根据作者的意见，下列哪一项不会引起城里人不幸福？
【试题分析】本题为细节题。
【详细解答】短文第二段描写的是城市生活的弊端。由“The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear…people on the same floor in tower blocks don’t even say hello to each other．”可知，城市生活“lack of communication”；由“The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks，noisy，dirty and impersonal…All you can see from your window is sky，or other blocks of flats．”可知，城市生活“housing conditions”；由“Children…cooped up at home all day…their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world．”可知，城市生活是“a sense of isolation”。文中没有提及“a strong sense of fear”，故A为正确答案。
72．答案：C
【参考译文】根据短文，在乡村不容易买到的东西是哪一项？
【试题分析】本题为推理题。
【详细解答】短文第三段倒数第二句说“Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on an expedition to the nearest large town.”，即住在一个小村庄里，购物是一个大问题，即使只是稍微特别的物品，人们也必须到附近大城镇去买。由此可知，在乡村不容易买到的东西应是designer clothes。
73．答案：C
【参考译文】根据短文，用下列哪一个词来描述在大城市工作而在乡村生活的人最合适？
【试题分析】本题为语义题。
【详细解答】短文第四段最后一句说“They generally have about as much sensitivity…the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages．”即他们一般还是比较敏感的，……他们也把某些改变强加给当地农村居民。故用“Arrogant” （骄横的）来描述在大城市工作而在乡村生活的人最合适。
74．答案：B
【参考译文】你认为作者会搬迁到农村去吗？
【试题分析】本题为推理题。
【详细解答】最后一段说“I’m keen on the idea, but you see there’s my cat, Toby.I’m not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass. I mean, can you see him mixing with all those hearty males down the farm? No, he would rather have the electric imitation-coal fire any evening.”作者
