About big cities

　　New York, London, Paris and other big cities are wonderful places to live in. There are many nice things to see and to do. You can go to different kinds of museums, plays and films. You can also go shopping to buy things from all over the world.

　　But there are serious problems in big cities, too. The cost of living is high, and there are too many people in some places. Every year many people move to the cities because there are more chances to find jobs, to study at good schools and to receive good medical care. But sometimes these people can not find jobs or good places to live in. Also, too many people in a small space make it hard to keep the cities safe and clean.

　　Some people enjoy staying in big cities, others do not. Before people move to a big city, they should think about the problems of staying there.

Answer 1

答案：
解析：

一、advantage：wonderful places to live in; many nice things to see and to do; can go to different kinds of museums, plays and films; can buy things from all over the world. problems：cost of living is high; many people move the cities every year; can not find jobs or good places to live in; hard to keep the cities safe and clean. 　　二、1．D;2．E;3．B;4．A;5．C 　　三、1．T;2．T;3．F;4．F;5．T 　　1．T(第一段最后一句：你还可以去购物，买到来自世界各地的物品。) 　　2．T(第二段第二句：The cost of living is high，“生活的成本很高”，也就是说，你生活在大城市要花许多钱。”) 　　3．F(这句话的原意是“人们搬到大城市去，仅仅因为那儿有较多找到工作的机会。”，但是文中告诉我们人们搬到大城市去，不仅仅为了找工作，还有为了在好的学校学习和得到好的医疗条件。) 　　4．F(最后一段第一句告诉我们：有一些人喜欢呆在大城市，而另一些人不喜欢。所以题中“所有的人都喜欢住在大城市”是错的。) 　　5．T(文中的最后一句。)
