"Avoid the rush-hour" must be the slogan of large cities all over the world. Whenever you look, it’s people, people, people. The streets are so crowded that there is hardly room to move; when a bus arrives, it’s so full that it can’t take any more passengers. The extraordinary thing is not that people put up with these conditions, but that they actually choose them in preference to anything else.
Large modern cities are too big to control. They impose their own living conditions on the people who inhabit them. It is possible to live such an air-conditioned existence in a large city that you are barely conscious of the seasons. What is going on in nature seems totally irrelevant. Even the distinction between day and night is lost.
The funny thing about it all is that you pay dearly for the "privilege" of living in a city. The demand for accommodation is so great that high rents must be paid for tiny flats which even country hens would scorn (鄙视) to live in. Accommodation apart, the cost of living is very high. Just about everything you buy is likely to be more expensive than it would be in the country.
In addition to all these, city inhabitants live under constant threats. The crime rate in most cities is very high. If you think about it, they’re not really fit to live in at all. Can anyone really doubt that the country is what man was born for and where he truly belongs? [br] In the passage, the author mentions all these things EXCEPT______.
选项
A、bad traffic condition
B、lack of security
C、pollution caused by air-conditioners
D、high cost of living
答案
C
解析
本题主要考查文章各段落的主旨及细节信息。在文章第二段中,作者提到air-conditioned,主要是强调城市中,人们在有空调设备的房子里几乎感觉不到四季的交替变化,而不是淡论环境污染,所以C)没有被谈及。
