Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 The world has developed into a world of cities. With the current rate of urban growth (3. 8% i

28、n tile Third World), the major part of the population of the world will be living in cities by the year 2000. This will transform the rural-urban equation which has marked the history of mankind up to now and will call for new examples and a great deal of innovation to face this phenomenon. This bei

29、ng so, one must accept the fact that for some years to come, no policy will be able to stop or reverse the present migratory trends from the rural areas to the cities in the Third World. In Africa, the urban population will reach 330 million people by the end of the century as against 150 million in

30、 1986. The number of people living in shanty towns will inevitably increase despite the efforts to improve housing conditions. Africa alone needs to build twelve million housing units between now and the year 2000 to meet its most basic needs. In an ILO study, M. S. V. Sethuraman estimates That in 7

31、0 Third World cities the proportion of people living in shanty towns varies from 15% to 70% and that about US $ 116 billion are needed to give minimum comfort to these people by the turn of the century-less than US $ 10 billion per year. The world population is growing at a rate of about 90 million

32、people per year, with the Third World accounting for 80 million of them. The pressure on cities can only go on increasing. The urban population of the developing countries will exceed two billion people by the year 2000 and since the main factor for the high demographic growth is poverty, the rest p

33、opulation will be mostly made of people of very limited means. 46 If the urban popluation of the developing countries exceeds 2 billion people by the year 2000, the additional people will face the problem of _. （ A） housing （ B） food （ C） poverty （ D） limited land 47 According to the passage“ about

35、 of cities with _. （ A） a lot of difficulties （ B） efforts to improve housing condition （ C） pressure of the basic needs （ D） new models and a great deal of transformation of ideas and methods 49 In Africa, people in cities will be _ by the end of the century. （ A） almost twice as much as in 1985 （

36、B） doubled than that in 1985 （ C） over twice as much as in 1985 （ D） 300 million 50 In spite of the efforts to improve housing condition, the number of people living in shanty towns will increase because _. （ A） houses in shanty towns are cheap （ B） shanty towns could provide people with minimum com

37、fort （ C） no policy will be capable of stopping or changing the present immigrant tendency from the rural areas to the cities in the Third World （ D） the Third World population is growing at a rate of about 80 million people per year 50 We should also know that “greed“ is little related to the envir

38、onmental crisis. The two main factors are population pressures, especially the pressures of large metropolitan populations, and the desire to bring a decent living with the lowest possible cost to the largest possible number of people. The environmental crisis is the result of success in cutting dow

39、n the morality of infants ( which has given us the population explosion), success in increasing farm output sufficiently to prevent mass famine, success in getting people out of the tenements of the 19th century city and into the greenery anti privacy of single family home in the suburbs (which has

40、given us urban sprawl and traffic jams). The environmental crisis, in other words, is the result of doing too much of the right sort of thing at large. To overcome the problems that success always creates, one mast build on it. But where to start? Cleaning up the environment requires determined, sus

41、tained effort with clear targets and deadlines it needed, above all, concentration of effort. Up to now we have tried to do a little bit of everything, what we ought to do first is to draft a list of priorities. 51 This passage assumed the desirability of _. （ A） living in comfortable family life-st

45、 the dries （ C） build additional conventional power plants immediately （ D） organize an agency to coordinate efforts to cope with environmental problems 55 The phrase “build on “in the last parapraph most probably means “ _ “. （ A） rely on （ B） give up （ C） conduct an investigation into （ D） pay gre

46、at attention to 55 Container gardening is especially adapted to present living. Plants in containers show great variety of form and texture. They can be used to create instant indoor gardens; they can be moved from one home to another; and they can be moved outdoors in the summer and indoors during

47、the cooler months. Space is not a problem. Container gardening can be conducted in a single pot on a table or window sill, in a more elaborate room divider, or in a built-in planter. Just as there are many kinds of plants, there are many kinds of containers. Plants can be grown in any container that

48、 will hold a growing medium. The choice ranges from the common clay pot to cans, jars, boxes, baskets and tubs. Most people select containers for both their practical and “esthetic qualities“. These include cost, availability, weight, strength, durability, attractiveness and sentimental value. The s

49、ize and shape of the container should depend on the plants size and shape. Tall, tapering plants are more attractive in tall, relatively narrow containers.
