    阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

    　　I am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city．I have managed to convince myself that if it weren't for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the county．But how realistic is the dream?

    　　Cities can be frightening places．The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal．The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up．All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of flats．Children become aggressive and nervous-cooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world．Strangely enough, whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don't even say hello to each other．

    　　Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together．People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help．But country life has disadvantages too．While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the exciting and important events that take place in cities．There's little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie．Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on an expedition to the nearest large town．The city-dweller who moves to the country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet．

    　　What, then, is the answer?The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off：the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the senses．But one of its main advantages is that you are at the centre of things, and that life doesn't come to an end at half-past nine at night．Some people have found(or rather bought)a compromise between the two：they have expressed their preference for the “quiet life” by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities．However, this is a strange idea about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages．

    　　What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring “morning” to the locals as they pass by?I'm keen on the idea, but you see there's my cat, Toby．I'm not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass．I mean, can you see him mixing with all those hearty males down the farm?No, he would rather have the electric imitation-coal fire any evening．

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

         It was a quiet village in which there was a military camp(军营).It was far from the towns and cities and there were some high mountains around. Of course it was a good place for training the new soldiers. But it was difficult for the young men to go outside. Mr White, an officer of forty, was strict with them and he hardly let them leave the camp.

        Once Mr White was ill in bed. He couldn’t work and a young officer, Mr Hunt, began to train the new soldiers instead of him. He knew the young men well and let nine soldiers go to the nearest town to have a holiday. But night fell and none came back to the camp. He was worried about it and stood at the gate. It was five to twelve when Mr Hunt decided to go to the town and see what was happening to the young men. He started the car quickly and set off. At that moment the nine soldiers came back. It seemed they drank wine. Of course they found the officer was angry.

        “I’m sorry, sir,” said the first soldier. “I left the town on time. But something was wrong with my bus on my way here. I had to buy a horse and made it run fast. Bad luck! It died and I had to run back.”

        And the other seven soldiers said they were late for the same reasons. It was the last soldier’s turn. He said, “I’m sorry, sir. I got on a bus on time, but....”

        Having heard this, the officer became even angrier and stopped him at once. He called out, “If you say something was wrong with your bus, I’ll punish you at once!”

    “No, no, sir,” said the young man. “My bus was all right, but the dead horses were in its way!”

    56. The military camp was built in the village to ____.

    A. stop the soldiers from going to towns

    B. stop the soldiers from meeting their friends

    C. train the new soldiers             

    D. make the young men live quietly

    57. Mr. Hunt let the nine soldiers have a holiday because ____.

    A. he was kind to them                B. they felt lonely

    C. they had something important to do    D. they were the best of all

    58. The young officer was worried because ____.

    A. a traffic accident had happened

    B. he was afraid something happened to the nine soldiers

    C. the nine soldiers would come back  

    D. the nine soldiers drank too much in the town

    59. Which of the statements do you think is true?

    A. You’ll believe only the last soldier.      B. The officer believed the nine soldiers.
