问题     Large modern cities are too big to control. They impose their own living conditions on the people who inhabit them. City-dwellers are obliged by their environment to adopt a wholly unnatural way of life. They lose touch with the land and rhythm of nature. It is possible to live such an air-conditioned existence in a large city that you are barely conscious of the seasons. A few flowers in a public park (if you have time to visit it) may remind you that it is spring or summer. A few leaves clinging to the pavement may remind you that it is autumn. Beyond that, what is going on in nature seems totally irrelevant. All the simple, good things of life like sunshine and fresh air are at a premium(珍贵). Tall buildings blot out the sun. Traffic fumes pollute the atmosphere.
    Even the distinction between day and night is lost. The flow of traffic goes on unceasingly and the noise never stops.
Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?

选项 A、Large modern cities are not good to live in.
B、Living in large modern cities has so many disadvantages.
C、All the simple, good things of life are imposed on the people who inhabit large cities.
D、Many things that are going on in nature are not connected with large cities.

答案C

解析 本题为是非判断题。从全文来看,作者总的是要说城市太大使得人们脱离了自然,对生活有许多不利方面的影响。但并不是说最简单的事物都被强加于人们头上。显然,C项是作者没提到的。
