Answer 1

【答案】

【1】E

【2】A

【3】D

【4】C

【解析】

许多人从乡村来到城市工作，因为乡村比城市更穷，通常没有很多工作岗位。他们希望来到城市能够改善生活。但是像欧洲和美国的一些大城市，有钱人却想要生活的更安静，他们想要有花园的房子和没有被污染的空气。

【1】句意：一些服务像运输业、娱乐业、医院和学校通常比他们在乡村更好。

some后接名词的复数形式，根据transport, entertainment, hospitals and schools以及备选词汇可知，services符合句意，表示“服务”，名词复数。故选E。

【2】句意：他们希望当他们搬到城市的时候，生活将改善。

此空为从句的谓语动词，will是情态动词，后接动词原形。improve表示“改善”，动词。故选A。

【3】句意：他们厌倦了城市的噪声和灰尘，拥挤的街道、拥挤的火车和公交车。

根据want to live a quieter life.可知他们厌倦了噪声。get tired of表示“对……感到厌倦”。故选D。

【4】句意：他们想要带花园的房子，和干净没有被污染的空气。

and后为that引导的定语从句，先行词为air，此空为形容词作表语。polluted表示“污染的”，形容词。故选C。
