Question

Do you live in a city? Do you know how cities began? Long long ago, the world had only a few thousand people. These people moved from one place to another. They moved over the land, hunting animals for food.

No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did, their life changed. They did not have to look for food any longer. They could stay in one place and grow it.

People began to live near one another, so the first village was established (建立). Many people came to live in the villages, and these villages became even larger.

When machines appeared, life in the villages changed again. People built factories. More and more people lived near the factories. The cities began.

Today, it’s strange that some people are moving back to small villages. Can you tell me why?

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文给我们讲述的是城市是怎样出现的。很久很久以前，人们过着游牧的生活，等人们学会了种植庄稼之后，开始在一个地方定居，从而形成村庄。机器出现之后，村庄逐渐发展成城市。

1.根据短文第一段的最后一句话These people moved from one place to another. They moved over the land, hunting animals for food.可知，人们从一个地方搬到另一个地方，为了猎取动物作为食物。由此可知这句话是正确的。

2.原句意为：没有人知道这些人是怎样、什么时候学会种植食物的。但是当他们学会了之后，他们的生活改变了。在这句话中they指代的是these people，所以这句话是正确的。

3.根据短文第四段中When machines appeared, life in the villages changed again.可知，当机器出现的时候，农村的生活又改变了。故这句话中说城市的生活改变了，是不正确的。

4.根据短文最后一段中Today, it’s strange that some people are moving back to small villages.可知，现在，一些人又开始回到小村庄了。由此可见，并不是所有的人都喜欢住在城市里。故这句话是不对的。

5.根据短文第四段中When machines appeared, life in the villages changed again. People built factories.可知，当机器出现的时候，农村的生活又发生的改变，人们修建了工厂。所以人们修建工厂并不是在城市变大之后，所以这句话不对。
