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.
Which is NOT one of the reasons why city life is not preferable?
选项 A、The people are not in regular communication with the rhythm of nature.
B、The people can’t enjoy sunshine and fresh air.
C、Modern cities offer better schools, more chances of employment.
D、Traffic fumes pollute the air.
答案C
解析 本题为是非判断题。作者在文中指出现代化大城市迫使人们去适应它的环境。人们在城市中过着一种与大自然分离的生活。大自然所赐予人类的最简单的东西也变得非常珍贵。A、B及D项都是作者在文中提到的。
