单选题{{B}}D{{/B}} Urban life has always involved a balancing of opportunities and rewards against dangers and stress; its motivating force is, in the broadest sense, money. The presence of huge numbers of people inevitably involves more conflict, more traveling, the overloading of public services and exposure to those deviants and criminals who are drawn to the rich pickings of great cities. As a defense against these developments, city dwellers tend to use various strategies to try and reduce the pressures upon themselves; contacts with other people are generally made brief and impersonal; doors are kept locked and so on. There are other strategies, too, which are positively harmful to the individuals, for example, reducing awareness through drags or alcohol. Furthermore, all these defensive forms of behavior are harmful to society in general. Lack of informal social contact and indifference to the misfortunes of others, are amongst the major causes of urban crime. Present day architecture and planning have enormously worsened the human problems of urban life. People have been forced to leave their familiar homes, usually to be rehoused in tower blocks which are inconvenient. This destruction of established social structures is the worst possible approach to the difficulties of living in a town or city. Instead, every effort should be made to conserve the human scale of the environment, and to retain familiar landmarks.

单选题As you think about writing a research paper, you may wonder how this job differs from other papers you have written. The basic difference is that most of the ideas that go into the research paper come from materials found in a library. The paper does not grow out of your personal experience and opinions as some other compositions do. Sometimes almost all of the information and ideas that appear in a research paper will come from books, magazine articles, etc. It is your job to find the information and present it in a coherent (连贯的) essay. At other times, you may be required to add your own judgements to the ideas you have collected from different materials. Both may be referred to as a "term paper" or a "research paper", and you should know how to do research as well as how to put together a good paper. Although writing a research paper is more difficult than writing an essay, the rewards (收益) of this work are great. As you increase your knowledge about a topic and begin making judgments, you will rapidly become an expert (专家) on your topic.

单选题Though Wales is visited mainly for its beautiful scenery, ancient castles and charming sea-side resorts, the fourth most popular place, attracting over a million visitors a year, is a little town on the River Wye, rightly called Hay-on-Wye. The great number of book shops has earned the otherwise sleepy little border town the name of "largest second-hand book shop in the world," for the whole town seems to be one massive collection of books. The whole thing began in the early 60's when Richard Booth opened an antique (古董) store in which he also sold some books. The books sold far better than the antiques and soon the clever businessman was buying up every piece of property (地产) he could get in town to store and sell books. It wasn't long before Mr. Booth began to call himself as "the world's biggest second-hand book seller." He began to attract attention from book lovers. The first success of Booth's books brought other book traders to town. When a fire destroyed much of the castle in the early 1980's Booth was forced to sell many of his properties. But other booksellers were only too anxious to move into town. People know it's the place to find any book you wanted, but couldn't find elsewhere. A lot of antique shops and restaurants have sprung up in the shadow of the second-hand bookshops. This has led declining (日益衰落) towns in other parts of Britain and abroad to seek Booth's assistance. So far, 30 towns in Europe and another 30 in the US have taken advantage of his ideas. Hay-on-Wye, meanwhile, receives little or no input from the Wales Tourist Board and runs its own tourist information center. To ease the feelings of people on both sides of the border, it considers itself neither in Wales nor England, but lying comfortably between the two. However, the town is certainly in Wales.
