| The earth is witnessing an urban
revolution, as people worldwide crowd into towns and cities. In 1800 only five
per cent of the world’s population were urban dwellers; now the proportion has
risen to more than forty-five percent, and by the year 2010 more people will
live in towns and cities than in the countryside. Humanity will, for the first
time, have become a predominantly urban species. Though the world is getting more crowded by the day, absolute numbers of population are less important than where people concentrate and whether these areas can cope with them.

The main question, then, is not how many people there are in a given area, but how well their needs c A. to warn about the dangers of revolutions in towns B. to warn about the possibility of a population explosion C. to suggest governments should change their priorities D. to suggest governments invest in more housing in cities [单项选择]
TEXT D The necessary urban development of our cities must be compatible with the conservation of the Cultural and Historical Patrimony. This is particularly true in the ease of those cities, numerous, in the Iberian Peninsula and Europe, that are the result of a long historical tradition, often uninterrupted during almost two thousand years. The preservation of the Archaeological Patrimony in these cities, however, comes up against conflicts difficult to resolve, with very differing and opposed positions: the demand and the price of the ground, the harmonious development of the city, the presence of infrastructures and services, the aspiration of the citizens to worthy housing, the business projects of the promoters or the working plans of the constructors. The common resource established to solve these conflicts is Urban Planning. Archaeology must take part actively in the elaboration of this planning, and use its abilities po A. many historical sites are cleared for urban development. B. the impact of urban development has always Been negative. C. archaeologists fail to play an active part in urban planning. D. no standard and planning figures are used in urban planning.
