Question

【題目】閱讀短文，回答問題。

Do you live in a city? Do you know how cities began? Long long ago, there were only a few thousand people in the world. These people moved from one place to another. They moved over the land, hunting animals for food.

No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did, their lives changed. They did not have to move any more.

They could stay in one place and grow food there. People began to live near each other, so the first villages appeared. Many people came to work in the villages, and these villages became larger and larger.

Later people had machines. Life in the villages changed again. People built factories. More and more people lived near the factories, so the villages grew into cities. Some of them grew very big.

Today, it's strange that some people are moving back to small villages. Can you tell me why?

【解析】

你住在城市里嗎？你知道城市是怎么開始的嗎？很久以前，世界上只有幾千人。這些人從一個地方搬到另一個地方。他們移到陸地上，獵取動物作為食物。

沒有人知道這些人是如何或何時學會種植糧食的。但當他們這樣做的時候，他們的生活發(fā)生了變化。他們不必再搬家了。

他們可以呆在一個地方，在那里種植食物。人們開始住在一起，所以第一個村莊出現(xiàn)了。許多人來到村莊工作，這些村莊變得越來越大。

后來人們有了機器。村里的生活又變了。人們建造工廠。越來越多的人住在工廠附近，所以村莊變成了城市。他們中的一些人長大了。

今天，有些人搬回小村莊真是奇怪。你能告訴我為什么嗎？

【1】題意：很久以前世界上有多少人？考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段第3句Long long ago, there were only a few thousand people in the world.（很久以前，世界上只有幾千人。）可知答案是only a few thousand people.

【2】題意：人們建工廠后，村莊變成了什么樣？考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段第3和4句People built factories. More and more people lived near the factories, so the villages grew into cities.（人們建造工廠。越來越多的人住在工廠附近，所以村莊變成了城市。）可知人們建工廠后，村莊變成了城市；故答案是cities。

【3】題意：為什么很久以前人們從一個地方搬到另一個地方？考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第一段最后二句These people moved from one place to another. They moved over the land, hunting animals for food.（這些人從一個地方搬到另一個地方。他們在陸地上移動，獵取動物作為食物。）可知很久以前人們從一個地方搬到另一個地方是為了獵取動物作為食物。故答案是To hunt animals for food.

【4】題意：誰知道人們什么時候?qū)W會了種植糧食？考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段第一句No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food.（沒有人知道這些人是如何或何時學會種植糧食的。）可知答案是Nobody。

【5】題意：為什么有些人要搬回小村莊？本題是開放性題，根據(jù)本文內(nèi)容，只要回答合理即可。例如，They think the city is noisy and the air is not fresh./They like the country life ./ They become tired of the city and want to be close to nature.
