A.信息归纳(共5小题,每小题2分) 下面是一篇摘自《汕头中学生英文报》网站有关城市生活和小镇生活对比的文章。请仔细阅读该文章,按信息表中项目的要求在答题卡上的信息表中填写信息。 Having spent my first 29 years in the city (Boston, USA) and my next 29 years in town (Gold Beach) make me realize how different the city and small town life: People: When you walk around in the city, few people smile at you. In small towns, people are friendlier. Store clerks in city stores are polite but not friendly. In small towns, clerks are lively and talkative. They may have children who are in the same class as yours. The women in small towns are particularly friendly and knowledgeable. They know everybody and everybody’s children. So there is no private (隐私) life in a small town. Food: In a city, people go to the supermarket to buy food once a week. In small towns, you can go to the market every day and the food is fresh, and the price is lower. And there’s always fruit on sale. You may even go to the farm nearby to buy the fresher vegetable too. Others: A big city has better hospitals, doctors and medical care. If you get really sick in a small town, better medical care may be a few hours’ drive. And there are no universities, museums, galleries, shopping malls or theatres in a town, which make life not so convenient and less fun. Teenagers may find nowhere to go and play. In general, for many young people, the city is exciting, while the small town is boring. For adults the city noisy and crowded, while small town is quiet and relaxed and you can see a huge and black sky with millions of stars at night.

Possible Version (范文只作参考,不作唯一标准,各校根据学生答卷实际及评分标准自行评判。) I Prefer Life in the Country Different people have different ideas. Some people think that it’s better to live in the city, but I prefer the life in a country. Now let me tell you what I think. First of all, there are many trees and plants in the countryside, so we can have fresher air. What’s more, it’s a quiet and lively place to live in because there aren’t too many cars. The most important thing is that the people who live in the country seem friendly and helpful to others. In a word, if we try our best to take care of our earth, we can live anywhere we like.
