Most have moved during two decades of boom in search of

19、 economic opportunities, and the historic mass migration from fields to office and apartment blocks ends the countrys centuries-long agrarian status. But the rapid modernization and demand for improved living standards is piling extra pressure on society and the already blighted environment, experts

20、 claim. With 75 per cent of Chinese expected to be living in cities within 20 years, the demand for more transport, energy, water and other vital infrastructure is set to test resources and city planners. Many of those settling down in urban areas are migrant workers. This transient population of ch

21、eap labor, put at nearly 221 million by a national census last April, helped turn China into the worlds second-largest economy in just three decades. Months following the consensus, another government report said more than 100 million farmers would move to cities by 2020. The influx is seen as havin

22、g a destabilizing effect on urban society, according to experts. Most migrant workers are treated as lower-class citizens in their adopted towns or cities because they are still classified as rural residents under the controversial Hukou household registration system. This means they have little or

Formerly Soviet Estonia has embraced new technology and data-management with impressive results. But the country that has seen the most radical structural reform is Britain. Michael Gov

27、e, education secretary until earlier this year, rapidly expanded the academies programme, to make schools independent of local government bureaucracies.

Although the picture is mixed, academy pupils results have improved faster than those of pupils in main stream schools; the longe

30、nal GCSE exams for 16-year-olds. This year the pass-rate was up to 79%. Such performances have inspired interest in the model from a clutch of developing countries, including India and Kenya. Mr. Gove has been shunted aside for fear that his bluntness, and the intense loathing for him that many teac

31、hers feel, could be a liability at next Mays general election. There are fears that the academy programme may therefore lose momentum. It would be a great shame if it did, not just because it seems to be improving schools, but also because experience so far suggests how it can be improved further. 6

The most recent paper also sho

43、oms instead. Sao Paulo state, home to one-fifth of Brazils population and one-third of its economic activity, is suffering the worst drought since records began in 1930. Pitiful rainfall and high rates of evaporation in scorching heat have caused the volume of water stored in the Cantareira system o

44、f reservoirs, which supplies 10 million people, to dip below 12% of capacity. This time last year, at the end of what is nominally the wet season, it stood at 64%. On April 21st the governor, Geraldo Alckmin, warned that from May consumers will be fined for increasing their water use. Those who cut

45、consumption are already rewarded with discounts on their bills. The city will tap three basins supplying other parts of the state, but since these reservoirs have also been hit by drought and supply hydropower plants, fears of blackouts are rising. Without a downpour, Cantareiras levels sink beneath

46、 the pipes which link reservoirs to consumers a week after Sao Paulo hosts the opening game of the football World Cup on June 12th. To tide the city over until rains resume in November, it is installing kit to pump half of the 400 billion litres of reserves beneath the pipes, which is called “ dead

47、volume“. Mr. Alckmin has not ruled out tightening the spigots. Widespread cuts could hurt the governors reelection bid in October.

48、population. 16 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 从文中 “home to one-fifth of Brazils population and one-third of its economic activity， is suffering the worst drought since records began in 1930 ”可以知道巴西圣保罗当地政府号召人们节约用水的一个主要原因就是，它遭遇了1930年以来最大的一次干旱。因此选项 C的叙述与原文大意是相符的。 【知识模块】 篇章听力理解与选择 17 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 选项 A、 B和 C是原文细节，不是

49、推断内容。文中提到水库水位大幅度下降，政 府颁布了若干条法令号召人们节约用水。但是无论政府怎么努力，水位还是会下降到管道水位以下。从文中 “fears of blackouts are rising” 可以知道缺水的形势很严峻，所以可以推断出选项 D的内容。 【知识模块】 篇章听力理解与选择 18 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 从文中 “Without a downpourtide the city over until rains resume in” 可以看出，政府所做的一切措施都是为了支撑到 11月的雨季。之前每一次努力都捉襟见肘 。 【知识模块】 篇章听力理解与选择 19 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 从文中可以看出政府花巨资从地下再次抽取非常宝贵的水源，虽然有些专家质疑水的质量，但并没有迹象表明这次政府所做的努力是失败的，因此选项 C的表述与原文不符。 【知识模块】 篇章听力理解与选择 20 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 选项 A、 B和 C都是文章的讲述的具体细节。全文的主要内容是在巴西圣保罗的干旱时期，城内的水源供应远远不能满足人们的需求，虽然当地政府采取了一系列的措施但功效甚微。 【知识模块 】 篇章听力理解与选择
