问题 I amone of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice weshould prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a largecity.I have managed to convince myself that if it weren't for my job!wouldimmediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepyvillage buried in the country.But how realistic is the dream?Cities can befrightening places.The majority of the population live in massive towerblocks,noisy,dirty and impersonal.The sense of belonging to a community tendsto disappear when youlivefifteen floors up.All you can see from your windows is sky,or other blocks offlats.Children become aggressive and nervous--cooped up at home all day,withnowhere to play;their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world.Strangely enough,whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all kneweach other,nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don't even sayhelloto eachother.Country life,on the other hand,differs from this kind of isolatedexistence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of smallvillages together.People have the advantage of knowing that there is alwayssomeone to turn to when they need help.But country life has disadvantages too.While it is true that you may be among friends in a village,it is also truethat you are from the exciting and important events that take place in cities.There's little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie.Shoppingbecomes a major problem,and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you haveto go on an expedition to the nearest large town.The city-dweller who leavesfor the country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness andquiet.What,then,is the answer?The country has the advantage of peace and quiet,butsuffers from the disadvantage of being cut off;the city breeds a feeling ofisolation,and constant noise batters the senses.But one of its mainadvantages is that you are at the centre of things;and that life doesn't cometo an end at half past nine at night.Some people have found(or rather bought)a compromisebetweenthe two:they have expressed their preference for the"quiet life"byleaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of largecities.They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers theyleave behind--they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvementwhich they force on to the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages.Whatdoes the last sentence of this passage mean?查看材料A.Citypeople want to change country life.B.Citypeople want to combine the advantages of city and village.C.Villages don't welcome city people.D.Citypeople don't concern the feeling of villagers.
选项 A.Citypeople want to change country life.
B.Citypeople want to combine the advantages of city and village.
C.Villages don't welcome city people.
D.Citypeople don't concern the feeling of villagers.
答案 B
解析 推断题。文章最后一句意为“他们被有关改善和改变的奇怪想法影响了，而这些想法是他们强加给村里不愿改变的原始居民的”。文章最后一段讲到，乡村生活和城市生活各有优点，有些人在乡下和城市之间找到了折中的办法，也就是将两种优点结合起来，但将城市的优点带到乡下，对于村民来说是强加于他们身上的。所以此句意味着市民想要将城市的优点和乡村的优点结合起来，故本题选B。
