Many small towns have experienced new population growth from the cities. These newcomers to rural America bring "big city" demands that small towns cannot afford. The following cases describe some typical towns:
Retired city people moving to Kimberling City often see wildlife close to their homes. Kelly and Bette Edgington, for example, see deer on their property. Also, they have identified more than one hundred kinds of birds around their comfortable home in the small, but fast-growing retirement town in the Ozark Mountains. Yet most of the retired people heading for beautiful rural places like this one enjoy being close to some of the convenience and activities of the cities.
Kimberling has a small shopping center, a country club and a golf course. It is less than twenty miles from the School of the Ozarks, which has cultural events. Kimberling City had only about 600 people in 1970 but has nearly doubled since then. A local planning official estimates the town’s population will reach 4 000 by the end of the 20th century.
The newcomers are demanding more paved roads, says Mrs. Edgington, the $ 50-a-month mayor. A central sewer system is needed. These services require more money, but the town does not receive enough money from taxes. Even though industries could help provide taxes to pay for these services, the town is not seeking industries.
Residents do not want industries and the traffic they bring. Most residents came to get away from the cities, and now they find the town has changed. "I came here to get away from Kansas City," says retired James Mitchell. "This was really rural when I came. Now it’s getting crowded. " [br] The passage says that most retired people______.
选项
A、come to rural places to see wildlife
B、like to come to rural places to pay tax
C、prefer rural life with modern convenience
D、enjoy true rural life
答案
C
解析
本题是一道具体细节题。问文章指出大多数退休的人怎样。利用查阅式阅读法,我们可在文章的第二段中找到相关信息。这段指出,迁居到吉姆柏林市的城市退休居民经常在他们的住宅附近遇到野生动物。就金凯利和贝蒂·艾京顿来说,他们就在地里见到了鹿,另外,在奥扎克山区这个小小的、快速扩建中的退休居民小镇,人们在舒适的院落附近就见到了100多种鸟类,然而大多数退休人员往类似这样美丽的乡下搬迁,却同时享受着接近大城市的一些便利生活条件和活动。因此,本题的正确答案应是C“既喜欢乡村生活又想要现代生活的便利条件”。
