You should make the correct choice. 36 The population of a given place can grow in three ways: by extension of its borders to include nearby land and people; by natural increase an excess of births over deaths; and by migration an excess of in-migrants over out-migrants. Between

18、the Civil War and the early 1900s, many cities joined nearby suburbs, thereby increasing their populations. The most notable union occurred in 1898 when New York City, which had consisted only of Manhattan, united with four surrounding boroughs and grew overnight from 1.5 million to over 3 million p

19、eople. Although annexation(合并 ) did increase urban populations somewhat, its major effect was to enlarge the physical size of cities. As death rates declined in the late nineteenth century, the populations of most cities increased naturally, and urban birthrates also fell steadily throughout the nin

20、eteenth century. As a result, in most cases natural increase did not account for very much of any given citys population growth during the period. Migration and immigration made by far the greatest contribution to urban population growth. In fact, migration to nearby cities matched the migration to

21、the West that was occurring at the same time. Each year millions of people were on the move, many of them attracted by the cities promise of opportunity.

24、ave been large-scale immigrants to America in the 1800s? （ A） Indians （ B） Chinese （ C） Australians （ D） Italians 40 Which of the following is true according to the passage? （ A） In the late eighteenth century, many cities in America increased in size. （ B） The populations of most cities increased n

25、aturally in the nineteenth century. （ C） The most important way for an urban population to grow is through natural increase. （ D） The population growth of American cities was the result of both immigration and expansion.
