问题     In many countries in the process of industrialization, overcrowded cities present a major problem. Poor conditions in these cities, such as lack of housing, inadequate sanitation (卫生) and lack of employment, bring about an increase in poverty, disease and crime.
    The over-population of towns is mainly caused by the drift of large numbers of people from the rural areas. These people have become dissatisfied with the traditional life of farming, and have come to the towns hoping for better work and pay.
    One possible solution to the problem would be to impose registration on town residents. Only officially registered residents would be allowed to live in the towns and the urban population would thus be limited. In practice, however, registration would be very difficult to enforce (推行); it would cause a great deal of resentment (不满), which would ultimately lead to violence.
    The only long-term solution is to make life in the rural areas more attractive, which would encourage people to stay there. This could be achieved by providing encouragement for people to go and work in the villages. Facilities in the rural areas, such as transport, health and education services should be improved. Education should include training in improved methods of farming and other rural industries, so as to develop a more positive attitude towards rural life. The improvement of life in the villages is very important, because the towns themselves cannot be developed without the simultaneous or previous development of the rural area.
What does the word "urban" (Line 2, Para. 3) mean?
选项 A、Of the city.
B、Out of work.
C、In a bad condition.
D、Of enormous size.
答案A
解析 根据题目要求，定位到第三段第二行。第三段的第一句指出了本段的主要内容，即关于城市居民登记制度(registration on town residents)。第二句话是对第一句的进一步解释和说明。and引导两个并列句，前一句说只有登记过的居民才可以在城里居住，后一句中thus(因而)一词表明该句与前句是因果关系：因为前句中的措施所以某一地区的人口就可以得到控制。因此urban是“城市的”意思，正确答案为A项。
