Many small towns have experienced new population growth from the cities. These newcomers to rural America bring "big city" demands that small towns cannot afford. The following cases describe some typical towns:
Retired city people moving to Kimberling City often see wildlife close to their homes. Kelly and Bette Edgington, for example, see deer on their property. Also, they have identified more than one hundred kinds of birds around their comfortable home in the small, but fast-growing retirement town in the Ozark Mountains. Yet most of the retired people heading for beautiful rural places like this one enjoy being close to some of the convenience and activities of the cities.
Kimberling has a small shopping center, a country club and a golf course. It is less than twenty miles from the School of the Ozarks, which has cultural events. Kimberling City had only about 600 people in 1970 but has nearly doubled since then. A local planning official estimates the town’s population will reach 4 000 by the end of the 20th century.
The newcomers are demanding more paved roads, says Mrs. Edgington, the $ 50-a-month mayor. A central sewer system is needed. These services require more money, but the town does not receive enough money from taxes. Even though industries could help provide taxes to pay for these services, the town is not seeking industries.
Residents do not want industries and the traffic they bring. Most residents came to get away from the cities, and now they find the town has changed. "I came here to get away from Kansas City," says retired James Mitchell. "This was really rural when I came. Now it’s getting crowded. "
Which of the following statements is true?
选项
A、Big cities and small towns have the same level of public service.
B、Most American retired people cannot: afford city demands.
C、Kimberling is as rural as it was twenty years ago.
D、Industry development is beyond the town’s plan.
答案
D
解析
本题是一道判断是非题。问下面哪个选项是正确的。针对四个选项所给的内容,利用查阅式阅读法,结合原文相关内容,我们可以推测出本题的正确答案应是D“这个小城镇的发展计划中不包括工业的发展”。参见第四段最后一句话。
