阅读填空(每格限填一词)/Fill in the blanks(本大题共10小题,每小题1分,共10分)
Since the beginning of human evolution, men have migrated(迁移)across continents in search of food, shelter, safety, and comfortable weather. People still move for these reasons, but new reasons for human migration are arising, such as job relocation(重新安置) and overpopulation.
Three million migrants are moving from poor countries to wealthier ones each year, and increasingly, their destination is a neighboring country in developing parts of the world.People are moving within the developing world for the same reasons as they migrate to wealthier nations. People from poor countries are going to less poor countries, fleeing wars and conflicts. They are also responding to population pressures because some countries are densely populated, and they often have high population growth. Those people need to go somewhere else.
There are three main reasons why people move. The basic categories and percentages are as follows, according to the Current Population Surveys (CPS):
Family-related reasons account for 26.3%, including changes in marital(婚姻的) status, establishing a household and other family reasons; work-related reasons account for 16.2%, including job transfer, retirement, and other job-related reasons; housing-related reasons account for 51.6%, including new and better houses, better neighborhood, cheaper housing and other housing reasons; the remaining 5.9% of other reasons are attending college, the change of climate and health reasons.
Americans have been migrating south and west for decades in search of better job opportunities and warmer climates. They have also been moving to places a little far from cities, in search of bigger yards and houses, lower crime rates and better schools. In 1950, nearly a fifth of the population lived in the nation's 20 largest cities. In 2006, it was about one in ten. That's why many American people say, “Big Cities Shrink as People Move South, West.”
Between March 2005 and March 2007, 73.4 million Americans moved.Fifty-six percent of these moves were within the same country. Twenty percent were between counties but in the same state. Nineteen percent were moves to a different state. Some families even went abroad.

1.【答案】move。解析:on the move表示“在移动中,在活动中”,本文主要讲的是人口迁移的原因和现象,因此这个题目较能概括文章主旨。
2.【答案】history。解析:根据第一段的第一句可知,人类进化以来,人们就开始漂洋过海地迁移。因此,人们漂洋过海迁移的过程贯穿了整个人类历史。
3.【答案】increasing。解析:根据第二段的第一句可知,每年都有三百万人从贫穷的国家移居富裕的国家,而且人数日益增多,他们的最终目的地是处于发展阶段的邻近的国家。因此这里填increasing,表示移民的人日益增多。
4.【答案】richer/wealthier。解析:根据第二段的第一句可知,每年都有三百万人从贫穷的国家移居富裕的国家。因此这里填richer或者wealthier。
5.【答案】Reasons。解析:表格中相应的两个部分给出的是人们迁移的原因,因此这两个部分的小标题应该是“Reasons for people's migration”。
6.【答案】majority。解析:第三段提到人们迁移的原因有三,根据CPS,迁移原因所属的范畴和所占的比重如下:家庭原因占的比重是26.3%,工作原因占了16.2%,房子原因占了51.6%,其他原因占了5.9%。所以和房子有关的原因占的比重最大,大部分的人迁移到别处是因为房子的原因。
7.【答案】related。解析:根据第61题的点评可知,和房子有关的原因占的比重最大,be related to表示“与……有关”,所以这里填related。
8.【答案】for。解析:根据倒数第二段的第一句,美国人几十年来迁往南部和西部的原因是寻找更好的工作机会和更温暖的气候。look for表示“寻找”,相当于句中的“in search of”,因此这里填for。
9.【答案】climate。解析:根据第63题的点评可知,寻找更温暖的气候是美国人迁往南部和西部的原因之一,因此这里填climate。
10.【答案】tendency/phenomenon/trend。解析:这是一个which引导的非限定性定语从句,修饰“Now every year more and more people move to other place”,根据文意,这是一个全球性的趋势或现象。
