D.reduced减少。根据下文中的"Theseare…toconsidermost"可知，那正是我们许多人忽视的价值，正是我们最需要考虑的价值。所以，此处选involved，"beinvolvedin…"意为"涉及…"。此处意为：追求金钱至上，那么与此同时的个人和社会价值呢？故选B。【点睛】在做完形填空时一定要注意and/but/yet/so/besides/however/furthermore/moreover/inaddition/what’smore等词汇、固定结构的运用。它们连接了上下文，起着承上起下的作用。像but（但是）、however（然而），yet（然而）表示转折，这说明前后的内容相反或相对。把握住这一点，做起题来就会得心应手。本题第12小题，根据上文中的"People…path"和下文中的"theideaofleavingtheirjobstoworkforsomething…leadsthemtothesameconclusion…"可知，人们经常说想尝试一份更满意的工作，但这种想法最终都落下同样的结局。因此此处选yet"但是，然而"表示转折。故选A。三、阅读理解18.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。Whatwillcitylifebelikeinthefuture?Somepeoplethinkthatlifeinthecitiesisgoingtobehorrible.Theysaythatcitieswillbecomemoreandmorecrowded.Asthenumberofpeopleincreases,therewillbelessspaceforeachperson.Thisovercrowdingwillcauseotherproblems—morecrime,dirtierstreets,andworseproblemswithtrafficthanwehavenow.Howwillpeoplefindenoughdrinkingwater,energy(suchasgasandelectricity),andhousing?Becauselifewillbehard,peoplewholiveincitieswillworrymore,andtheymaybecomesick.Forthesereasons,somesaythatnobodywillwanttoliveincityareas.Howcanwedealwithsuchproblemsasovercrowding,crime,andtraffic?Insomecities,thousandsofpeoplearealreadysleepinginthestreetsbecausethereislittlesuitablehousing—andbecausehousesaretooexpensive.Thecrimerateisn’tgoingdown.Instead,itisincreasingsofastthatmanypeopleareafraidtogooutatnight.Trafficisalsogettingworse.Moreandmoreoften,trafficjamsaresobadthatcarsdon’tmoveatallforseveralstreets.Theseproblemshavebeengettingworse,notbetter,somanypeopleseenohopeforthefutureofthecity.LosAngeles,California,forexample,hasnosubwaysystemandbusesareslow.Instead,manycommuters(乘、开车上班族)drivemanymilesfromtheirhomestowork.Manyofthesedriversspendseveralhourseachdayonbusyfreeways.NewYork,however,hasabigtransportsystem—buses,commutertrains,andsubways.Becausethepublictransportationiscrowdedanddirty,manypeopledriveprivatecars,andthetrafficjamsareworsethanthatinLosAngeles.Ataxidrivercomplains,“Iwasdrivinghome,butinforty-fiveminutesImovedonlytwomiles!Finally,Iturnedofftheengineandjustsatthere.Alotofpeoplelefttheircarswheretheywereinthemiddleofthestreetandwentintoabarforafewbeers!”Ontheotherhand,somecitieshaveclean,fastandpleasantpublictransportationsystems.InParis,France,andToronto,Canada,forexample,anyonecanusebusesorsubwaystomovequicklyfromonepartofthecitytoanother.69.Whatdosomepeoplethinkisthemainproblemofthefuturecitylike?A.Poorhousing.
