问题 Who is more likely to do military services? [br]  
A new report from the Census Bureau offers a numbers-driven, county-level glimpse into America’s urban-rural divide. It shows rural Americans on average are more likely to own a home, less likely to have earned a college degree and more likely to have served in the armed forces than their urban counterparts.
   The bureau’s latest American Community Survey statistics shows that 47 million adults and 13. 4 million children under the age of 18 lived in counties outside of America’s major metropolitan regions. More than 81 percent of rural adults were homeowners, compared with 59. 8 percent of urban denizens. Nearly two-thirds, 65. 4 percent, lived in their state of birth, compared with 48. 3 percent of city dwellers.
   And less than 1 in 5 — 19. 5 percent — had earned a bachelor’s degree, shy of urban America’s 29 percent mark.
   Back in 1910, more than 54 percent of the country lived in a rural area. But with job growth in city centers continually outpacing what’s been seen in other parts of the country, Americans — particularly those just starting out in their careers — have flocked to urban areas en masse.

选项 A、The growth of job opportunities in cities.
B、The difficulty of living in rural areas.
C、The capital needed to start careers.
D、The migration of workers from other countries.

答案 A

解析 原文指出在20世纪初,居住在乡村的人口占54%,随着城市就业机会的增加,大量人口涌入城市。所以,城市人口变化的历史原因是就业机会的增长。
