changing，just as American society is changing.After World War ，the population of most large American cities decreased；however，the population in many Sun Belt cities increased.Los Angeles and Houston are cities where population shifts(转移)to and from the city reflect the changing values of American society.In the late 1940s and early 1950s，city residents(居民)became wealthier.They had more children so they needed more space.They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes.They bought houses in the suburbs.Now things are changing.The children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults.Many，unlike their parents，want to live in the cities.They continue to move to Sun Belt cities and older ones of the Northeast and Midwest.Many young professionals are moving back into the city.They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; or they just enjoy the excitement and possibilities that the city offers.This population shift is bringing problems as well as benefits.Countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent.In the 1950s，many poor people did not have enough money to move to the suburbs；now many of these same people do not have enough money to stay in the cities.Only a few years ago，people thought that the older American cities were dying.Some city residents now see a bright，new future.Others see only problems and conflicts.One thing is sure：many dying cities are alive again.29What does the author think of cities all over the world?AThey are alive.BThey are hopeless.CThey are similar.DThey are different.答案：C细节理解题。由文章第一段可知全世界的城市都相似，故选项C正确。30According to the 4th paragraph，a great many poor people in American cities_.Aare faced with housing problemsBare forced to move to the suburbsCwant to sell their buildingsDneed more money for daily expenses答案：A推理判断题。由第四段中的Countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent.可知很多房主想卖掉楼房而不愿出租致使许多贫困人家遭遇到住房困难，故A项符合句意。31We can conclude from the text that_.AAmerican cities are changing for the worseBpeople have different views on American citiesCmany people are now moving from American citiesDthe population is decreasing in older American cities答案：B推理判断题。从文章最后一段可以得出结论。32The underlined word“suburbs”in the second paragraph probably means_in Chinese.A市区B郊区C市中心D农村答案：B词义猜测题。从上文看出，居民们富裕了，孩子多了，需要更大的空间，自然是到郊区买房子。DIn only two decades Asian Americans have become the fastestgrowing US minority.As their children began moving up through the nations schools，it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was forming.Their achievements are reflected in the nations best universities，where mathematics，scienceand engineering departments have taken on a decidedly Asian character.Thisspecial liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that AsianAmerican students who began their educations abroad arrived in the USwith a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge of English.They are also influenced by the promises of a good job after college.Asians feelthere will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science becausethey will be judged more objectively.And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engineering than with an arts degree.Most AsianAmerican students owe their success to the influence of parentswho are determined that their children take full advantage of what the Americaneducational system has to offer.An effective measure of parental attention ishomework.Asian parents spend more time with their children than Americanparents do，and it helps.Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that causes success，such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education.Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because offears that they feed a typical racial image.Many can remember when Chinese,Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of social separation.Indeed,it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants theright to citizenship.33While making great achievements at college，AsianAmerican students_.Afeel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of EnglishBare afraid that their academic successes bear a strong Asian characterCstill worry about unfair treatment in academic areasDgenerally feel it a shame to have to depend on their parents答案：B事实细节题。从文章最后一段第一句可看出。34What are the major factors that determine the success of Asian Americans?ASolid foundation in basic mathematics and Asian culture.BHard work and intelligence.CHard work and a limited knowledge of English.DAsian culture and the American educational system.答案：D事实细节题。从第二段第一句和最后一句得出：亚洲学生把成功归因于充分利用美国的教育体制和亚洲文化。35Few AsianAmerican students major in human sciences mainly because_.Atheir English is not good enoughBthey are afraid they might meet with unfair judgment in these areasCthere is a wide difference between Asian and Western culturesDthey know little about American culture and society答案：B事实细节题。第一段中的“Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment.more objectively”可看出。第二节
