9、一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。 AWhen I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved t
10、o the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has its problems too. One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then
11、 there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous. Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you taste in culture or entertainment(娱乐活
12、动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising - and , what is more, shops are often only a short walk away. Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is , when you are
13、 in your teens or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.21. What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child? A. Staying on the farm. B. Leaving home for
14、the city. C. Moving to the countryside. D. Running away from the school.22. Which of the following is true about the writer? A. He is very old now. B. He is in good health. C.

15、 countryside B. express his opinions about way of lifeC. an interest in the outside world D. persuade the reader to live in the city B Some people think that as more and more people have televisions in their homes, fewer and fewer people will buy books and newspapers. Why read an article in the news
16、paper, when the TV news can bring you the information in a few minutes and with pictures? Why read the life story of a famous man, when a short television program can tell you all that you want to know? Television has not killed reading, however. Today, newspapers sell in very large numbers. And boo
17、ks of every kind are sold more than ever before. Books are still a cheap way to get information and enjoyment. Although some books with hard covers are expensive, many books are printed today as paperbacks (平装本), which are quite cheap. A paperback collection of short stories, for example, is always
18、cheaper than an evening at the cinema or the theater, and you can keep a book forever and read it many times. Books are a wonderful provider of knowledge and pleasure and some types of books should be in every home. Every home should have a good dictionary. A good encyclopedia (百科全书), though expensi
19、ve, is useful, too, because you can find information on any subject. Besides, you can have such books as history books., science textbooks, cookbooks, and collections of stories and poems. Then from time to time you can take a book of poems off your shelves and read the thoughts and feelings of your
20、 favorite poets.24. It can be inferred from the passage that _. A.
