阅读表达：（根据短文内容回答问题）

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 animals for food. No one knows how or when these people learned about growing food. But when they did, their lives changed. They did not have to move houses any more. They could stay in one place and grow it. People began to live near each other, so the first village grew. Many people came to work in the villages, and these villages became larger and larger. Then people had machines, life in the villages changed again. People built factories. More and more people lived near the factories. So the villages grew into cities. Some of them grew very big. Today, it’s strange that some people are moving back to small villages. Can you tell me why ?

【解析】

你住在城市里吗？那你知道城市是怎么形成的吗？这篇短文讲述了城市形成的过程。

1.根据短文中“People built factories. More and more people lived near the factories. So the villages grew into cities.”可知，人们修建工厂，越来越多的人在工厂附近居住，因此乡村发展成了城市。故答案为Cities。

2.根据短文开头“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 animals for food.”可知，很久很久以前，人们过着迁徙的生活，因为他们要去猎杀动物作为食物。故答案为To hunt animals for food.

3.这是一个开放性的问题，题目意为“你愿意搬到一个小村庄居住吗？为什么？”，这个题目没有固定的答案，学生们的回答只要合理、表达正确即可。如：Yes. Because we can breathe fresh air and eat fresh vegetables there. 因为我们可以呼吸新鲜的空气，吃新鲜的蔬菜。
