The young people who talk of the village as being "dead" are talking nothing but nonsense, as in their hearts they must surely know.
No, the village is not dead. There is more life in it now than there ever was. But it seems that "village life" is dead. Gone forever. It began to decline (衰落) about a hundred years ago, when many girls left home to go into service in town many miles away, and men also left home in increasing number in search of a work, and home was where work was. There are still a number of people alive today who can remember. What" village life" meant the early years of the present century? It meant knowing and being known by everybody else in the village. It meant finding your entertainment in the village of within walking distance of it. It meant housewives tied to the home all day and every day. It meant going to bed early to save lamp-oil and coal.
Then came the First World War and the Second World War. After each war, new ideas, new attitudes, new trades and occupations were revealed to villagers. The long-established order of society was no longer taken for granted. Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make" village life" and" town life" almost alike. Now with the highly developed science and technology and high-level social welfare lor all, there is no point whatever in talking any longer about "village life". It is just life, and that a better life.
Finally, if we have any doubts about the future, or about the many changes, which we have seen in our lives, we have only to look in at the school playground any mid-morning; or see the children as they walk homeward in little groups. Obviously these children are better fed, better clothed, better educated, healthier, prettier and happier than any generation of children that ever before walked the village street.
It was______that" village life" began to take a sharp turn.
选项
A、about a century ago
B、during the two world wars
C、with electricity and motorcars introduced into the village
D、only recently
答案
C
解析
事实细节题。注意题干中的“sharp turn”,意思是“急转弯”。A不对,因为100年前这个村庄刚刚开始发生变化;B错误在于during,文章说的是“after each war”;D在文章中并未提及。第三段提到“Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make’ village life’ and’town life’ almost alike.”电和汽车正在逐步使乡村生活变得和城市生活一样,这样的变化只能用“sharp turn
