2 . Throughout human history, nearly all people were close to the soil. Therefore their lives were profoundly affected by the alternation of winter and summer, by the coming and going of the full moon, and by the pattern of rain and drought and the annual harvest. Steadily the ever-expanding city replaced the countryside as the home of most of the world's people, and the big cities now have dwarfed the biggest city of several hundred years earlier. In 1995 at least 25 cities each held more than seven million inhabitants In the passage the word 'dwarfed' means -
- A. were smaller than
- B. made look smaller

3 . Read the poem and answer the questions Behold her, single in the field, You solitray Highland Lass! Reaping and singing by herself; Stop here, or gently pass Alone she cuts and binds the grain, And sings a melancholy strain; O listen! for the Vale profound Is overflowing with the sound. No Nightingale did ever chaunt More welcome notes to weary bands Of travellers in some shady haunt, Among Arabian sands: A voice so thrilling ne'er was heard In spring-time from the Cuckoo-bird, Breaking the silence of the seas Among the fatherst Hebrides. Will no one tell me what she sings? Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow For old, unhappy, far-off things, And battles long ago: Or is it some more humble lay, Familiar matter of to-day? Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain, That has been, and may be again? Whate'er the theme, the Maiden sang As if her song could have no ending; I saw her singing at her work, And o'er the sickle bending; I listened, motionless and still; And, as I mounted up the hill, The music in my heart I bore, Long after it was heard no more. 1.What are the two of the possibilities that the speaker imagines about the song of the girl?
- A. the blisters on her hands and the ache in her back
- B. some past or some present sorrow, pain and loss
- C. both of the above are correct
- D. none of the above is correct
