单选题"Avoid the rush-hour" must be the slogan of large cities the world over. Whenever you look, it's people, people, people. The streets are so crowded, there is hardly room to move; when a bus arrives, it's so full, it can't take any more passengers. The extraordinary thing is not that people put up with (忍受，容忍) these conditions, but that they actually choose them in preference to anything else. Large modern cities are too big to control. They impose their own living conditions on the people who inhabit them. It is possible to live such an air conditioned existence in a large city that you are barely conscious of the seasons. What is going on in nature seems totally irrelevant. Even the distinction between day and night is lost. The funny thing about it all is that you pay dearly for the "privilege" of living in a city. The demand for accommodation is so great that high rents must be paid for tiny flats which even country hens would scorn (拒绝接受；鄙视) to live in. Accommodation apart, the cost of living is very high. Just about everything you buy is likely to be more expensive than it would be in the country. In addition to all these, city inhabitants live under constant threats. The crime rate in most cities is very high. If you think about it, they're not really fit to live in at all. Can any one really doubt that the country is what man was born for and where he truly belongs?

单选题The Pacific Ocean covers more than 166 million square kilometers (more than 64 million square miles) --about one-third of the earth's surface. The area of the Pacific is greater than that of all of the continents combined, and it makes up nearly half of the area covered by the earth's oceans. The Pacific is not only the largest ocean but also the world's oldest and deepest, with an average depth of 4,280 meters (14,040 feet). Most of the geologic activity of the Pacific occurs around its edges. In fact, the so-called Pacific Ring of Fire contains more than 80 percent of the earth's active volcanoes and most of its earthquake activity. The Pacific was given its name because of the tranquillity(安静) of its waters, although it is occasionally swept by typhoons, and a number of strong currents circulate beneath the surface. The influence of the icy Antarctic continent and the smaller ratio of land to sea lowers water temperatures in the southern Pacific slightly in comparison with the northern Pacific. The commercial importance of the Pacific Ocean has increased significantly since the opening of the Panama Canal, which links the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean. in 1920. Fishing along the east coasts and near the Equator is a significant industry. The Pacific has also begun to be exploited for its vast mineral resources. The continental shelves off the coasts of California, Alaska, China, and Indonesia are known to contain large reserves of petroleum. Programs are under way to examine the feasibility of mining these deposits.

单选题Milan has prohibited the consumption and sale of alcohol to young teenagers in an effort to curb binge-drinking(抑制狂欢饮酒). Parents of children under the age of 16 caught drinking wine or spirits will be liable to heavy fine(罚款) of up to 500 Euros($700). A third of 11-year-olds in the city have alcohol related problems. In a country where for centuries wine has been part of local culture the prohibition has comes as a shock. But the authorities are deeply concerned about the increase in consumption of alcohol by children as young as 11 in the country"s industrial and financial capital. So as an experiment, supplying alcohol-either wine or spirits-to youths under the age of 16 in bars, restaurants and liquor stores will be prohibited. Heavy fines will be imposed on the parents of offending children and on shopkeepers or bar owners who serve them. A national law prohibiting the sale of alcohol to under-16s is only loosely enforced(执行)，as Italian families are used to sometimes giving young children a teaspoon of wine as a family party treat. In the past centuries, Italian children would sometimes even be given wine to drink in preference to water which was often polluted. There has been a storm of protest by bar owners who refuse to act as alcohol police for young people. But more Italians have realized that their old easy-going attitudes towards consumption of alcohol will have to change.
