Question

Do you live in a city? Do you know how cities began? Long long ago, the world had only a few thousand people. These people moved from one place to another. They moved over the land, hunting animals for food.

No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did, their life changed. They did not have to look for food any longer. They could stay in one place and grow it.

People began to live near one another, so the first village was established (建立). Many people came to live in the villages, and these villages became even larger.

When machines appeared, life in the villages changed again. People built factories. More and more people lived near the factories. The cities began.

Today, it’s strange that some people are moving back to small villages. Can you tell me why?

根據短文內容，判斷正(A)誤(B)。

1.People moved from place to place to hunt animals.

2.The story says,“No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did, their life changed.” In this sentence, the word “they” means people.

【解析】

試題分析：這篇短文給我們講述的是城市是怎樣出現的。很久很久以前，人們過著游牧的生活，等人們學會了種植莊稼之后，開始在一個地方定居，從而形成村莊。機器出現之后，村莊逐漸發展成城市。

1.根據短文第一段的最后一句話These people moved from one place to another. They moved over the land, hunting animals for food.可知，人們從一個地方搬到另一個地方，為了獵取動物作為食物。由此可知這句話是正確的。

2.原句意為：沒有人知道這些人是怎樣、什么時候學會種植食物的。但是當他們學會了之后，他們的生活改變了。在這句話中they指代的是these people，所以這句話是正確的。

3.根據短文第四段中When machines appeared, life in the villages changed again.可知，當機器出現的時候，農村的生活又改變了。故這句話中說城市的生活改變了，是不正確的。

4.根據短文最后一段中Today, it’s strange that some people are moving back to small villages.可知，現在，一些人又開始回到小村莊了。由此可見，并不是所有的人都喜歡住在城市里。故這句話是不對的。

5.根據短文第四段中When machines appeared, life in the villages changed again. People built factories.可知，當機器出現的時候，農村的生活又發生的改變，人們修建了工廠。所以人們修建工廠并不是在城市變大之后，所以這句話不對。

考點：日常生活類短文閱讀。
