四、閱讀測驗【請在下列各題中選出最適當的答案】
A hundred years ago, the largest city in the world was London, with a population of 6.5 million. Today it is
dwarfed by Tokyo. With barely a quarter the population of London a century ago, the Tokyo metropolitan area
has since mushroomed to 35 million, propelling it to first place in the global city league table. Tokyo’s
phenomenal growth is largely due to a single factor: migration from the countryside to the city. It is just one of
many to have overtaken London, which with a population of 7.5 million today doesn’t even make the top 20.
The rural-to-urban migration can now be seen in scores of cities around the globe. And it has brought us to a
pivotal moment in human history. In 1900, most people lived in the countryside, with a little over 10 percent of
the world’s population living in cities. From next year, the UN Population Division predicts that for the first time
in history, more people will live in cities than in the country, and the biggest growth will be in “megacities,” with
populations over 10 million.
The meteoric growth of megacities—there are now more than 25 in total—has brought with it huge
environmental and social problems. Cities occupy just two percent of the land surface of the Earth but consume
three-quarters of the resources that are used up each year, expelling greenhouse gases, billions of tons of solid
waste, and rivers of toxic sewage. Their inhabitants are making ruinous demands on soils and water supplies for
food and on forests for timber and paper.
Returning the world’s population to the countryside is not an option. Dividing up the planet into plots of
land on which we could all survive self-sufficiently would create its own natural disasters, not to mention being
highly unlikely to even happen. If we were to protect what is left of nature, and meet the demand to improve the
quality of living for the world’s developing nations, finding a new form of city living seems to be the only
solution by mobilizing collaborative efforts to address this urgent agenda.
【3】46. Which of the following is the most appropriate title for the passage above?
A New Megacity Initiative: A Redistribution of Resources
A New City on the Rise: Tapping into the Undeveloped
Megacities Boom: Problems to be Solved
London and Tokyo: Exemplary Cities
【2】47. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?
Surpassing London, Tokyo has the largest population in all cities around the world.
London is one of the world’s top 20 cities, with a fast population growth.
The population of Tokyo is approximately four times more than that of London.
Tokyo has witnessed a large migration flow from the rural area into the city.
【1】48. What number does the underlined word “score” express?
20 12 50 100
【2】49. According to the passage, which of the following about megacities is TRUE?
The UN Population Division attempted to reduce the size of megacities.
Around the globe, there are twenty-five cities with population exceeding 10 million.
A megacity can accommodate more than 10 million migrant workers.
The biggest trouble need for a megacity is not having a new economic model to provide enough jobs.
【4】50. According to the passage, which of the following is the most pressing issue for the megacities?
To return the city population to the countryside.
To minimize the occupancy of land surface and reduce waste.
To stop city inhabitants from ruining soils, water supplies and forests.
To establish a new urban living option through collaboration.
