三、(2021原创)阅读理解(每小题3分, 共15分)

What is the relation between population and the social development? It is clear in cities in the world .

The first city with more than a million people was Rome in 133 BC. However, in the 20th century very big cities with populations of millions became common worldwide.

There are two main reasons why people move to cities: to find either a better job or a life with better quality. In 1950 only 30% of the world's population lived in cities, while in the year 2000 about half of the people throughout the world lived in cities.

The growth of the population in cities has created a number of problems. Houses get smaller and buildings get taller. There are fewer parks and open areas and more cars. Overcrowded cities often have to deal with several serious problems, such as unemployment(失业), traffic, pollution and crime.

In developing countries the situation is even worse. A large number of people can't afford a house or a flat, so they live in huts.

By looking at the table below one can see that the problems will get worse in the future. Therefore, it is important for these countries to improve the quality of life in these cities in the future.

21. Why do people move to cities according to the passage?

 A. Because there are many tall buildings in cities.

 B. Because cities can help people improve the quality of jobs.

 C. Because cities will have smaller population and less crime.

 D. Because people want to find better jobs and improve the quality of life.

22. In the year 2000, about ________ of the world's population lived in cities.

 A. 15%   B. 30%   C. 50%   D. 60%

23. Many people live in huts, for the fees for houses and flats are ________.

 A. low   B. impossible C. unknown   D. high

24. From the table, we know the population of ________ is the largest.

 A. Tokyo   B. New York C. Mexico City   D. Shanghai

25. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

 A. In developing countries most people live in flats in town.

 B. A large number of big cities were created in the 20th century.

 C. The population of cities in developing countries will stop growing.

 D. Helping people get jobs is very important in developing country.

Dear Editor,

I'm a middle school student. I'm writing to tell you ________26 children who are left­behind (留守儿童) in towns around the country. Now, our cities are ________27 more and more modern.
