    When Mrs．Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna，Austria，people asked the obvious question,“Why did she live to be 107?” .Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100．Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities．In spite of the city’s image as an unhealthy place，city living often provides benefits that country living can lack．One factor seems to be important to the longevity(长寿)of those interviewed．
    This factor is exercise．In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus．Even taking public transportation often requires some walking．Smaller apartment houses have no elevators(电梯)，and so people must climb stairs．City people can usually walk to local supermarkets.  Since parking spaces are hard to find，there is often no alternative to walking．
    On the other hand，those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day．In fact，the opposite is often true．To go to school，work，or almost anywhere else，they must ride in cars．
    小题1:The Vienna survey may help to explain _____
    A．the complaints of people in apartment houses
    B．the cause of Mrs Groeger’s death
    C．the longevity of people like Mrs．Groeger
    D．the image of cities in general
    小题2:The purpose of the second paragraph is to list some _____
    A．benefits of walking
    B．occasions for walking in city life
    C．comments made by city people
    D．problems of city living
    小题3:To reach the third floor of a building, it would probably be most healthful __
    A．to take the elevator
    B．to walk up the stairs
    C．to ride in a car
    D．to find an alternative to walking
    小题4:People who live in the country probably do more driving than walking because __
    A．they don’t live near business areas
    B．they don’t need the exercise
    C．they never have parking problems
    D．they can’t afford to take the bus
    小题5:A conclusion that can be drawn from this passage is that__________   
    A．air pollution is not serious
    B．anyone can live to be 107
    C．country people should move to the city
    D．walking is a healthful exercise

    小题1:C
    小题2:B
    小题3:B
    小题4:A
    小题5:D
    文章分析了城里人比乡下人更长寿的原因是城里人锻炼更多，步行更多。
    小题1:C 推理题。根据第2行Why did she live to be 107?”可知这个调查是关于这些人长寿的原因的，故C正确。
    小题2:B 推理题。在第二段中提出了很多的例子都想证明城里人的锻炼比乡下人要多，步行的距离要比乡下人更长。故B正确。
    小题3:B 推理题。根据第二段3,4行Smaller apartment houses have no elevators(电梯)，and so people must climb stairs．可知B正确。
    小题4:A 推理题。根据最后一句．To go to school，work，or almost anywhere else，they must ride in cars．可知乡下人要开车上学主要是因为他们不得不开车，那么可能是因为住的地方不靠市中心，交通不方便，故A正确。

    Most people in the world like to enjoy nature. Travel is one of the most popular ways. Nowadays modern transportation can take people everywhere. But people who lived before the 1880s probably would not travel very far. They would not have time to travel far from their work. Anyone who travelled  36  would usually walk or ride a horse. But in Germany a man named Karl Benz had an idea that  37  the world in a dramatic way. In 1885, he made  38  . His car had three wheels,  39  most cars today. The car could only go  40  16 kilometres an hour.
    At around the same time, the man  41  his first car in Detroit, America is called Henry Ford. Detroit is now still famous all over the world as the centre of American car-making.
    Cars were very few and only  42  people could buy them.  43  , in England cars were thought to be  44  at that time, so for a few years someone  45  walk in front of every car  46  a red flag! This was to make sure that the car did not go too fast and hurt  47  .
    In the 1910s, Henry Ford had  48  a better kind of car called the Model T Ford and he built a  49  where the cars could be made  50  . In this way the car could be made  51  and the cost was less and more and more people could  52  them. But there was still a problem  53  all the cars were black. That was because it was 54  to produce cars that were all the same color. Now, of course, you can buy cars in all  55  .
