　38. What’s the meaning of the word “metropolitan” in the middle of the passage?

A. Of a large city with its suburbs. B. Of small and large towns.

C. Of urban areas. D. Of rural areas.

【题解】此题为词义题。对于词义题，我们一定要联系前后一两句话来分析，看是否有与该词意思相近或意思相反的单词短语和句子。原文的第四句话中就可以找到此词的出处，并且可以看到在这个词后面括号中的短语large cities with their suburbs就已经解释的该词在文章的含义，因此正确答案为A选项。

39. According to the passage, what can we learn about small towns in the United States?

A. Most small towns become gradually crowded.

B. Small towns are still similar to each other.

C. As the traditional picture is changing, towns are different.

D. Small towns are turning into large cities.

【题解】此题为细节题。解此题的关键在于要知道考察的对象是“about small towns in the United States”，因此就要把选项和原文的细节一一对比，选择与原文相符的选项。A选项“大多小城逐渐变得拥挤”，B选项“小程依然彼此相似”，C选项“因为传统的景象在改变，所以小城不同了”，D选项“小城正在变成大城市”。而在原文的第三句话就表明了“每一个小城都与其他的小城相似，……但是大多数人不再居住再小城里。”根据此句，就可以判断出只有B选项和原文相符。因此正确答案为B选项。

解析细节题时还有一个技巧要掌握：识别同义词或同义结构。比如本句中” still be very like” “are still similar to”就是一个同义结构。再比如“educational institution” 与 “school” 与 “die” “ pass away” 等。;

40. Why is it hard to say when a piece of country becomes a suburb?

A. Because they are the same.

B. Because the rush takes place too quickly.

C. Because the process is gradual.

D. Because more and more Americans live in metropolitan areas.

 

【题解】此题为细节题。看到题干中的“Why”就判定是要找原因，再者要看是要找什么问题的原因，题干中给出了考察点“when a piece of country becomes a suburb”。在原文的倒数第二句话中我们可以找到此题的出处，原句的 “so that”就是结果，所以前面的句子就是我们此题要找的原因“随着出城居住的热潮，邻近城市的乡村逐渐建满了房屋(are gradually filled with houses)……”。难以说什么时候转变就是因为转变是个渐变的过程。此外，文中”gradually”与答案选项中的”gradual” 为同义不同词性的词，也给了我们暗示。因此正确答案为C选项。
