Section B
Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.
I am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city. I have managed to convince myself that if it weren't for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the county. But how realistic is the dream？
Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervous—cooped up (被限制) at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough, whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don't even say hello to each other.
Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together. People have the advantage of
knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the exciting and important events that take place in cities. There's little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on an expedition to the nearest large town. The city dweller who leaves for the country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet.
What, then, is the answer？ The country has the advantage of Peace and quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off: the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters(影响) the senses. But one of its main advantages is that you are at the centre of things, and that life doesn't come to an end at half-past nine at night. Some people have found (or rather bought) a compromise between the two: they have expressed their preference for the "quiet life" by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they leave behind they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages.
What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring "morning" to the locals as they pass by. I'm keen on the idea, but you see there's my cat, Toby. I'm not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass. I mean, can you see him mixing with all those hearty males down the farm？ No, he would rather have the electric imitation-coal fire any evening.
From the first paragraph, we know that the author______.
Perhaps we use "everybody", "nobody", "no one" to make things seem better known than they
听力原文：M: Hello. National Express Courier Company, Customer Service Department.
W: Hello. I have some questions about a package I'm going to send. Can you help me？
M: Yes. ma'am. What would you like to know？
W: I have a box of homemade candy, and I want to send it to my sister. It's a birthday present. Do you have any special roles about delivering food？
M: No. not in this case, ma'ma. If you were sending fruit or vegetables, they would have to be packed specially. But there are no roles about sending candy.
W: OK, I have another question. I'm very concerned about the package reaching my sister on time. Can you make sure that it will be there by her birthday on Saturday？
M: Where does it have to go？
W: California.
M: Hmm. Saturday's only four days away. We have a priority service that would guarantee delivery in three days but it's more expensive than our regular rate.
W: Well, I don't want to waste money, but it's more important that the package be there on time.
M: OK. Bring your package to the office, and we'll send it by priority service.
W: OK. I'll do that. Thanks for your help.
M: It's my pleasure
