Today, people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big, noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.
In many countries, the main reason people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential area nearby, too. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.
In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city center downtown. It is here that you can see many huge skyscrapers(摩天大樓) and office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city center. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.
But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger and bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.
1.Why do people move to live in cities or towns?
A.Because they can live more comfortably there.
B.Because they like noisy life better than peaceful life.
C.Because they mainly want to find work there.
D.Because they are sure of having a better life there.
2.The underlined phrase “a residential area” means an area________.
A.where people can buy things
B.which is suitable for living in
C.where people can do business
D.which is near a city center
3.Which of the following statement is NOT true about the business district?
A.Big companies usually have their main offices in the business district.
B.People usually work and live in the business district.
C.A business district usually lies in the city center downtown.
D.Nearly every major city has its own business district.
4.In the United States, many people work in the center of a big city________.
A.a(chǎn)nd live there
B.but live in the suburbs of the city
C.a(chǎn)nd live in another city
D.but live in rural areas
5.We can infer that this movement from rural to urban areas ________.
A.has been going on for more than 2,000 years
B.will surely continue in the future
C.may not continue in the future
D.has now stopped already

科目:高中英語 來源:2014-2015學(xué)年北京東城區(qū)高三上學(xué)期期末教學(xué)統(tǒng)一檢測英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解
When Barbra Streisand discovered in 2003 that a photograph of her California beach house was among 12,000 photos on the Internet as part of a collection by photographer Kenneth Adelman, she did what any famous person would do: hit him with a $50 million lawsuit. But in trying to hold back the images, she caused a different outcome. Her legal actions led to almost half a million people visiting the website, viewing and copying the photos within a month.
Ever since then, the effect of letting public know something you are trying to keep secret has been called the “Streisand effect”. The problem for anyone trying to suppress information is that the Internet is the world’s biggest and most efficient copying machine. Put a document on to a connected machine and it will spread. So when you want to be famous, you can’t, but if you find yourself in the spotlight and want to erase yourself, you cannot.
There is no shortage of examples of the Streisand effect. Nine-year-old Martha Payne created a simple blog, posting the meals her school served. She took a photo of what was barely a filling meal by anyone’s standards. With the photo, she filled a comment, “Now Dad understands why I am hungry when I get home.” The thing did not go too far, until the local authority banned little Martha from doing that again. Martha posted a supposedly final post called “Goodbye”, explaining everything. Once the media found this out, things went from bad to worse for the authority. Now the blog has more than 9.5 million page views. Martha has even expanded her blog by including pictures of school meals taken by other kids from all over the world, like Germany and Japan.
We can find similar examples throughout history, to be frank. Man has experienced the Streisand effect ever since the birth of mass communication. Why does it exist? Every time you are told not to see what’s in the secret shiny box wrapped in gift paper, you’re going to do everything in your power to do exactly that! Just realizing that knowing something about someone is harmful to their status, we will want to know that piece of information. This is exactly the human nature. This is what lawyers and authorities should be familiar with. Unfortunately, a few of them fail to grasp it.
1.The underlined word “suppress” in Paragraph 2 probably means________.
A. give away B. look into
C. cover up D. search for
2.What speeded up the spread of Martha’s story?
A. Parents’ complaints.
B. The authority’s order.
C. The photos of other kids.
D. Supporting from the school.
3.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. The root of Streisand effect.
B. The influence of Streisand effect.
C. People’s reaction to Streisand effect.
D. Historical examples of Streisand effect.
4.What can be inferred from the passage?
A. Streisand effect benefits most famous people.
B. It’s not a good idea to argue against authorities.
C. The ban on something may have opposite effect.
D. Turning to the law is a perfect way to get one out of trouble.
