问题     Large modern cities are too big to control. They impose their own living conditions on the people who inhabit them. City-dwellers are obliged by their environment to adopt a wholly unnatural way of life. They lose touch with the land and rhythm of nature. It is possible to live such an air-conditioned existence in a large city that you are barely conscious of the seasons. A few flowers in a public park (if you have time to visit it) may remind you that it is spring or summer. A few leaves clinging to the pavement may remind you that it is autumn. Beyond that, what is going on in nature seems totally irrelevant. All the simple, good things of life like sunshine and fresh air are at a premium(珍贵). Tall buildings blot out the sun. Traffic fumes pollute the atmosphere.
    Even the distinction between day and night is lost. The flow of traffic goes on unceasingly and the noise never stops.
What are highly esteemed in big cities?
选项 A、Living conditions.
B、Sunshine and fresh air.
C、Air-conditioned houses.
D、A few flowers and a few leaves.
答案B
解析 本题为词义理解题。从文中第一段的倒数第三句“All the simple，good things of life like sunshine and fresh air are at a premium”可以得知对于在现代都市中生活的人们来说，诸如阳光、新鲜空气等最简单的东西也很珍贵。
