二、阅读理解 (共 2 道试题,共 20 分)
20.阅读理解第1篇：请根据短文回答(1)-(5)小题
Although the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs, its people are by now almost entirely an urban society. Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry, and most of the rest live in or around towns，small and large. Here the traditional picture is changing: every small town may still be very like other small towns，and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country, but most Americans do not live in small towns any more. Half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas (1arge cities with their suburbs of more than a million people each — a larger proportion than in Germany or England，let alone France). The statistics of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day. As the rush to live out of town continues, rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses, so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb. But more and more the typical American lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment.
(1).6.If now America has 250 million people, how many of them are engaged in agriculture and forestry?
A.About 25 million.
B.More than 25 million.
C.Less than 25 million.
D.Less than 225 million.
(2).Which of the following four countries has the smallest proportion of people living in metropolitan areas?
A.United States.
B.Germany.
C.France.
D.England.
(3).What’s the meaning of the word “metropolitan” in the middle of the passage?
A.Of a large city with its suburbs.
B.Of small and large towns.
C.Of urban areas．
D.Of rural areas．
(4).According to the passage, what can we learn about small towns in the United States?
A.Most small towns become gradually crowded.
B.Small towns are still similar to each other.
C.As the traditional picture is changing, towns are different.
D.Small towns are turning into large cities.
(5).Why is it hard to say when a piece of country becomes a suburb?
A.Because they are the same.
B.Because the rush takes place too quickly.
C.Because the process is gradual.
D.Because more and more Americans live in metropolitan.

People born in the summer are more likely to be healthy than those who arrive during other times of the year, new research suggests. The phenomenon could be caused by mothers getting more sun in pregnancy — and passing on higher quantities of vitamin D to their unborn infant. A study of almost half a million British adults found babies born in June, July, and August were heavier at birth and taller as adults. For the first time the research also revealed girls born in the summer started puberty later — an indication of better health in adult life. Early puberty in girls has been linked with a higher risk of diabetes, heart disease or breast cancer. Previous research has shown children born between June and October are likely to be slightly taller and have bigger bones than winter-born children — believed to be related to vitamin D exposure during pregnancy. Babies born in autumn and winter are more likely to develop food allergies — with sunlight exposure during pregnancy and vitamin D levels also thought to play a role in this. But being born in summer can have drawbacks – such as an increased risk of short-sightedness.
