Answer 1

答案：A;C;B;A;D
解析：

剖析：1．这是一道推理判断题．阅读全文，尤其是根据短文第一段叙述很久以前，世界上仅有几千人，这些人从一处到另一处不断地搬迁．我们从该段最后一句They moved over the land, hunting animals for food就可以判断出，在城市开始之前，人们以动物为主食． 　　2．这是一道事实询问题．短文第二段叙述了没有人知道这些人怎样或者什么时候学会种植作物，但是当他们学会了，生活就发生了变化，他们不必再寻找食粮．我们再根据该段尾句They could stay in one place and grow it得知，人们开始生活在一个固定的地方是因为他们开始种植作物的缘故． 　　3．这是一道事实细节题．短文第四段中Factories were built. More and more people lived near the factories清楚地说明，当工厂建立的时候，越来越多的人生活在工厂附近． 　　4．这是一道正误辨认题．综合短文第一段中There people moved from place to place．和短文第二段中No one Knows how or when those people learned about growing food. But when they did, their lives changed这两处信息就可以看出，人们在开始种植作物之前只得经常搬迁． 　　5．这是一道主旨大意题．短文首段第二句Do you know how cities began？是文章的主题句．全文叙述了人们从远古时候的游牧生活到村落的形成和后来发展到城市的过程．
