单选题In many countries in the process of industrialization, overcrowded cities present a major problem. Poor conditions in these cities, such as lack of housing, inadequate sanitation(卫生) and lack of employment, bring about an increase in poverty, disease and crime. The over-population of towns is mainly caused by the drift of large numbers of people from the rural areas. These people have become dissatisfied with the traditional life of farming, and have come to the towns hoping for better work and pay. One possible solution to the problem would be to impose registration on town residents. Only officially registered residents would be allowed to live in the towns and the urban population would thus be limited. In practice, however, registration would be very difficult to enforce; it would cause a great deal of resentment(不满), which would ultimately lead to violence. The only long-term solution is to make life in the rural areas more attractive, which would encourage people to stay there. This could be achieved by providing encouragement for people to go and work in the villages. Facilities in the rural areas, such as transport, health and education services should be improved. Education should include training in improved methods of farming and other rural industries, so as to develop a more positive attitude towards rural life. The improvement of life in the villages is very important, because the towns themselves cannot be developed without the simultaneous or previous development of the rural area.

单选题Like China, Egypt was invaded by many foreigners during its history. Sometimes, invaders are absorbed into the Egyptian culture, but not always. Arabs conquered Egypt in AD 639, the time of the Tang Dynasty in China. They brought Islam and the Arabic language to Egypt which has remained. Today, 90 percent of Egyptians are practicing Muslims. Arabic is the official language. The Nile River is the life-blood of Egypt. It flows through the capital city, Cairo, and north into the Mediterranean Sea. At 6,600 kilometers, it is the longest river in the world. Most of the population live in the fertile (肥沃的) valley of the Nile. Its waters irrigate the land along its banks. The rest of the country is desert. The annual flooding of the Nile, today, as in ancient times, renews the land"s fertility and assures successful agriculture. Tourism is one of Egypt"s most important industries. Egypt is expecting more than 1.5 million tourists this year, spending close to 1.2 billion US dollars or 10 billion RMB. A tour up the Nile on a river boat is always fun, for tourists or natives.

单选题The fact that blind people can "see" things using other parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us to understand our feelings about color. If they can sense color differences then perhaps we, too, are affected by color unconsciously. Manufacturers have discovered by trial and error that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered unpleasant, and the cosmetics (化妆品) should never be packaged in brown. These discoveries have grown into a whole discipline of color psychology that now finds application in oeverything from fashion to interior decoration. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with passivity and calm, while yellow is a day color with associations of energy and incentive. For primitive man, activity during the day meant hunting and attacking, while he soon saw as red, the color of blood and rage and the heat that came with effort. And green is associated with passive defense and self-preservation. Experiments have shown that colors, partly because of their physiological associations, also have a direct psychological effect. People exposed to bright red show an increase in heartbeat, and blood pressure; red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. Because of its exciting connotation(涵义), red was chosen as the signal for danger. But closer analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alertness and alarm, so fire engines and ambulances in some advanced communities are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop the traffic dead.

单选题When I was a college student, I did a lot of traveling abroad. That was because a professor 1 me to do so. She said, "Now is the time for you to travel around the world, 2 your knowledge through actual experiences and have fun!" I 3 her. Since I started to work for a 4 company, however, I have done most of my traveling through the Internet. By using the Internet, I have seen the 5 of many cities on my computer screen. And I have really made business 6 , too. With the help of the Internet, I have also got 7 about food in different countries. Therefore, I was beginning to feel that actual trips were 8 necessary when I happened to read a famous chef"s(厨师) comment on the Internet. He said, "It is very difficult to have real Italian food in a foreign country, because we enjoy food and the 9 around us at the same time. So why don"t you fly over to Italy and enjoy real Italian 10 ?" Those words reminded me of my 11 advice. As information technology 12 , you might be able to do without making some real trips. But this also means that you will miss the various 13 you can get from traveling. Today there are people who 14 direct communication with others and spend much of their time on the Internet. It is not surprising to see a group of people . 15 not with each other but into their micro phones. It seems as if such people are 16 by an invisible wall. They seem to be losing out on a good chance to 17 and talk with other people. I do not think that they are taking good advantage of information technology. We should use information technology as a tool to make our daily 18 more fruitful. However, we should never let it 19 our time for face-to-face communication. Let"s make use of information technology more 20 , and have great fun in experiencing the actual world.
