1998年第四篇第三题： 这是一道非常纯粹的细节题，注意比对事实 Moreover, demographers see the continuing shift south and west as joined by a related but newer phenomenon: More and more, Americans apparently are looking not just for places with more jobs but with fewer people, too. Some instances — ● Regionally, the Rocky Mountain states reported the most rapid growth rate — 37.1 percent since 1970 in a vast area with only 5 percent of the US population. ● Among states, Nevada and Arizona grew fastest of all: 63.5 and 53.1 percent respectively. Except for Florida and Texas, the top 10 in rate of growth is composed of Western states with 7.5 million people — about 9 per square mile. The flight from overcrowdedness affects the migration from snow belt to more bearable climates. 65. We can see from the available statistics that ________. [A] California was once the most thinly populated area in the whole US [B] the top 10 states in growth rate of population were all located in the West [C] cities with better climates benefited unanimously from migration [D] Arizona ranked second of all states in its growth rate of population Moreover, demographers see the continuing shift south and west as joined by a related but newer phenomenon: More and more, Americans apparently are looking not just for places with more jobs but with fewer people, too.

从区域上看，洛基山脉各州上报了自1970年以来最高的人口增长率——37.1％，而以前这片广阔的土地上的人口仅占美国总人口的5％。 从各州情况看，内华达和亚利桑那是增长最快的两个州：其增长率分别为63.5％和53.1％。除了佛罗里达州和得克萨斯州外，处于人口增长率前10位的都是西部各州，共有750万人——每平方英里约9个人。 离开人口过度稠密区的做法影响了以前那种离开寒冷地带去气候宜人之地的趋势。 65. We can see from the available statistics that ________.
[A] California was once the most thinly populated area in the whole US [B] the top 10 states in growth rate of population were all located in the West [C] cities with better climates benefited unanimously from migration [D] Arizona ranked second of all states in its growth rate of population 65. 正确答案为[D] 意为：在所有州中，亚利桑那州的人口增长率名列第二。
第二点指出，在所有州中，内华达州和亚利桑那州人口增长最多，分别为63.5％和53.1％。 A意为；加利弗尼亚州曾经是美国人口最稀少的州。 B意为：人口增长最快的十个州全在西部。和原文表达相悖；除了佛罗里达州（位于东南部）和得克萨斯州（位于中部）以外，人口增长速度最快的前十个州都在美国西部，人口750万，每平方英里约9人。 C意为：气候好的城市普遍受益于人口的迁移。原文：离开人口过度稠密区的做法影响了以前那种离开寒冷地带去气候宜人之地的趋势。 这和原文表达相悖。 |
