问题     "Avoid the rush-hour" must be the slogan of large cities all over the world. Whenever you look, it’s people, people, people. The streets are so crowded that there is hardly room to move; when a bus arrives, it’s so full that it can’t take any more passengers. The extraordinary thing is not that people put up with these conditions, but that they actually choose them in preference to anything else.
    Large modern cities are too big to control. They impose their own living conditions on the people who inhabit them. It is possible to live such an air-conditioned existence in a large city that you are barely conscious of the seasons. What is going on in nature seems totally irrelevant. Even the distinction between day and night is lost.
    The funny thing about it all is that you pay dearly for the "privilege" of living in a city. The demand for accommodation is so great that high rents must be paid for tiny flats which even country hens would scorn (鄙视) to live in. Accommodation apart, the cost of living is very high. Just about everything you buy is likely to be more expensive than it would be in the country.
    In addition to all these, city inhabitants live under constant threats. The crime rate in most cities is very high. If you think about it, they’re not really fit to live in at all. Can anyone really doubt that the country is what man was born for and where he truly belongs? [br] It can be learned from the first paragraph that______.
选项 A、city inhabitants can not take buses in rush hours
B、city inhabitants can not bear the traffic conditions of cities
C、city inhabitants pay more attention to traffic conditions
D、city inhabitants are willing to bear the crowded condition
答案 D
解析 阅读文章第一段我们可以获知作者在本段主要讲了城市里的交通拥挤问题。本段末句提到，奇怪的不是人们能够忍受这些状况，而是实际上，他们宁愿选择这样的状况而不要任何其他的。由此可知，人们乐于忍受交通拥挤，因此答案为D)。
