3. Reading Comprehension

Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)Directions: This part

is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to

fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the

tasks as you are instructed.

Task 1Directions: After reading the following passage, you will find

5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For

each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and

D. You should make the correct choice．

In many countries in the process of industrialization, overcrowded

cities present a major problem. Poor conditions in these cities, such

as lack of housing, inadequate sanitation (卫生) and lack of

employment, bring about an increase in poverty, disease and crime.

The over-population of towns is mainly caused by the drift of large

numbers of people from the rural areas. These people have become

dissatisfied with the traditional life of farming, and **e to the

towns hoping for better work and pay. One possible solution to the

problem would be to impose registration on town residents. Only

officially registered residents would be allowed to live in the towns

and the urban population would thus be limited. In practice, however,

registration would be very difficult to enforce (推行); it would

cause a great deal of resentment (不满), which would ultimately lead

to violence. The only long-term solution is to make life in the

rural areas more attractive, which would encourage people to stay

there. This could be achieved by providing encouragement for people

to go and work in the villages. Facilities in the rural areas, such

as transport, health and education services should be improved.

Education should include training in improved methods of farming and

other rural industries, so as to develop a more positive attitude

towards rural life. The improvement of life in the villages is very

important, because the towns themselves cannot be developed without

the simultaneous or previous development of the rural area.
