Question

Do you live in a city? Do you know how cities began? Long long ago, the world had only a few thousand people. These people moved from one place to another. They moved over the land, hunting (打猎) animals for food.

No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did, their life changed. They did not have to look for food any longer. They could stay in one place and grow it.

People began to live near one another, so the first village was established. Many people came to live in the villages, and these villages became even larger.

When machines appeared, life in the villages changed again. People built factories. More and more people lived near the factories. The cities began.

Today, it’s strange that some people are moving back to small villages. Can you tell me why?

根据短文内容，判断正(T)误(F)。

1. People moved from place to place to hunt animals.

2. The story says, “No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did, their life changed.” In this sentence, the word “they” means people.

【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述了开始时地球上人很少，慢慢地人聚集在一起形成村庄，然后建立了工厂，在工厂周围就形成了城市。

1.根据 They moved over the land, hunting (打猎) animals for food.可知，本句是正确的。

2.本句的意思是“没有人知道这些人是什么时候和怎样学会种植。但是当他们学会之后，他们的生活发生了改变。”根据意思，很明显这里的“他们”就是指的“这些人”。所以本题是正确的。

3.根据When machines appeared, life in the villages changed again可知，本句是正确的。

4.通过it’s strange that some people are moving back to small villages可知，一些人喜欢住在农村。所以本题是错误的。

5.通过People built factories. More and more people lived near the factories. The cities began可知，先有工厂，再有城市。所以本题是错误的。
