阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
（ A ）
From now on, never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.
The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created：the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing your self-confidence. Your level of self-confidence is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-confidence are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are mere victims. They are leaves tossed（摇摆）by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.
If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.
In short, in all areas of your life, whether they be financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly

The income gap between China's rural and urban residents（居民） has continued
to widen during the past few years in spite of rapidly rising rural incomes, Agricultural Minister Sun Zhengcai said here on Wednesday．
The income ratio（比率） between urban and rural residents was 3．28:1 in 2006, against 3．23:1 in 2003, said Sun in his report on the promotion of building a new countryside in 2007．Sun also said the net income of rural residents in different regions also varied widely．The income gap is only one of several problems in rural areas, according to Sun's report．While listing the achievements in rural areas in recent years, Sun believed that rural development still followed behind urban development．
\"We have bigger pressure to ensure the supply of major agricultural products such as grain,\" he said．\"China's urbanization（都市化） has been speeded up and more rural residents have gone to urban areas,\" he said．
\"In this case, more agricultural producers become farm produce consumers, which created more pressure for supply,\" he said．
Another problem facing China's agricultural development is inadequate application of science and technology．
\"Only 30 percent of scientific and technological achievements have been applied to agricultural production, which is 40 percentage points lower than developed countries,\" he said．
Despite increased government spending in rural areas, the infrastructure（基

According to Sun, the government spent 431．8 billion yuan （$59．15 billion） on agriculture, rural areas and farmers this year, an increase of 80．1 billion yuan over the previous year．
China set aside 11．38 billion yuan to promote a new rural cooperative medical care system and 27．98 billion yuan to support the new compulsory education mechanism in rural area to ensure that all citizens shared the fruits of China's reform and opening-up, Sun said．

Mass transportation revised the social and economic fabric（结构） of the American city in three fundamental ways．It catalyzed（加速） physical expansion, it sorted

out people and land uses, and it accelerated the inherent instability of urban life．By opening vast areas of unoccupied land for residential expansion, the omnibuses, horse railways, commuter trains, and electric trolleys pulled settled regions outward two to four times more distant form city centers than they were in the premodern era．In 1850, for example, the borders of Boston lay scarcely two miles from the old business district; by the turn of the century the radius extended ten miles．Now those who could afford it could live far removed from the old city center and still commute there for work, shopping, and entertainment．The new accessibility of land around the periphery（周围） of almost every major city sparked an explosion of real estate development and fueled what we now know as urban sprawl．Between 1890 and 1920, for example, some 250,000 new residential lots were recorded within the borders of Chicago, most of them located in outlying areas．Over the same period, another 550,000 were plotted outside the city limits but within the metropolitan area．Anxious to take advantage of the possibilities of commuting, real estate developers added 800,000 potential building sites to the Chicago region in just thirty years – lots that could have housed five to six million people．
Of course, many were never occupied; there was always a huge surplus of subdivided, but vacant, land around Chicago and other cities．These excesses underscore a feature of residential expansion related to the growth of mass transportation: urban sprawl（建筑物无打算延伸） was essentially unplanned．It was carried out by thousands of small investors who paid little heed to coordinated land use or to future land users．Those who purchased and prepared land for residential purposes, particularly land near or outside city borders where transit lines and middle-class inhabitants were anticipated, did so to create demand as much as to respond to it．Chicago is a prime example of this process．Real estate subdivision （再划分小区）there proceeded much faster than population growth．
72．With which of the following subjects is the passage mainly concerned?
A．Types of mass transportation． B．Instability of urban life．
C．How supply and demand determine land use．
- 7 - / 9
D．The effect of mass transportation on urban expansion．
73．Why does the author mention both Boston and Chicago?
A．To demonstrate positive and negative effects of growth． B．To exemplify cities with and without mass transportation． C．To show mass transportation changed many cities． D．To contrast their rate of growth．
74．According to the passage, what was one disadvantage of residential expansion?
A．It was expensive． B．It happened too slowly． C．It was unplanned．
D．It created a demand for public transportation．

72．D 【解析】主旨大意题。公共交通运输对都市扩展的阻碍。文章开门见山提出这一点“公
共交通运输从三个全然方面改变了美国都市的社会和经济结构。”后面文章内容确实是三方面的具体化。
A公共交通运输类型。 B 都市生活的不稳固性。 C 供需如何决定土地利用。这三项文中作为
具体问题提到，并不是文章涉及的要紧题目。
73．C 【解析】细节题。说明公共交通改变了许多都市。答案箭第一段第四句“举例说，1850
年，波士顿市界离老的商业地区几乎不到2英里，到了这世纪末，其半径扩至10英里。现在供得起的人们能够住得专门远，远离老的都市中心，仍旧来回去那儿上班、购物和娱乐”。第七句，“举例说，在1890至1920年期间，据记载，芝加哥市界内有约250，000个新的住宅楼区大多数设在郊区。通过同样这段时期，市区外，但仍在芝加哥大都市地区内，又打算建筑了550，000个住宅楼区。”
A．表示成长的正反两方面成效。B 举有无公共交通运输的都市为例。 D 对比两者成长
- 8 - / 9
A．that is large．
B．that is used as a model for land development．
C．where the development of land exceeded population growth． D．with an excellent mass transportation system．
率；都不是本文中举两都市例子的目的。
74．C【解析】细节题。没有打算。见第二段第三句起“都市扩展蔓延全然无打算，好几千个
小的投资商进行扩展，毫不考虑相互和谐配合利用土地，也不考虑以后土地利用。”
A．太贵 和
B．太慢，两个选项，文内没有提。
D．它制造了对公共
交通运输的需求。这不是住宅扩展的一个缺点，而是三个全然改变都市的一个方面。见第一段第三句：“通过大量开发未占土地扩建住宅，公共汽车、马车、铁路、来回火车，有轨电车把已有人定居的居住区向外扩展了三四倍，比他们先现代时期的市中心更远。” 75．C【解析】细节题。（第二段中以芝加哥都市例子说明）土地开发超过人口增长速度。答
案详见第二段“这些购买和置备土地建设住宅，专门是购置临近都市或就在市界外的土地，抢在交通线路和中产阶层的居民到里面去之前。他们如此做的目的是制造一种需求，也是响应这种需求。芝加哥确实是这种过程的典型例子。那儿的房地产小块土地比人口增长快得专门多专门多。”
A 都市大。B 用作土地开发的样板。D 具有优越的公共的交通系统。
