Many small towns have experienced new population growth from the cities. These newcomers to rural America bring "big city" demands that small towns cannot afford. The following cases describe some typical towns:
Retired city people moving to Kimberling City often see wildlife close to their homes. Kelly and Bette Edgington, for example, see deer on their property. Also, they have identified more than one hundred kinds of birds around their comfortable home in the small, but fast-growing retirement town in the Ozark Mountains. Yet most of the retired people heading for beautiful rural places like this one enjoy being close to some of the convenience and activities of the cities.
Kimberling has a small shopping center, a country club and a golf course. It is less than twenty miles from the School of the Ozarks, which has cultural events. Kimberling City had only about 600 people in 1970 but has nearly doubled since then. A local planning official estimates the town’s population will reach 4 000 by the end of the 20th century.
The newcomers are demanding more paved roads, says Mrs. Edgington, the $ 50-a-month mayor. A central sewer system is needed. These services require more money, but the town does not receive enough money from taxes. Even though industries could help provide taxes to pay for these services, the town is not seeking industries.
Residents do not want industries and the traffic they bring. Most residents came to get away from the cities, and now they find the town has changed. "I came here to get away from Kansas City," says retired James Mitchell. "This was really rural when I came. Now it’s getting crowded. "
The present population of Kimberling City is probably______.
选项
A、600
B、1 200
C、1 800
D、4 000
答案
B
解析
本题是一道具体细节题。问现在这个吉姆柏林镇有多少人口。利用查阅式阅读法,文章第三段第三句话指出,该市在1970年只有大约600人,但现在人口几乎已翻了一番,据当地一位计划官员估计,到20世纪末,该市的人口将达到4 000人。因此,本题的正确答案应是B“600×2=1 200(人)”。
