　　The population of Megacity, a sprawling metropolis inRemsland, has grown at a fairly steady rate for over a century. A hundred years ago, poor sanitation in thecity caused high mortality rates among the city's inhabitants, and what fueledthe population increase was immigration from rural villages. This immigration has continued and evenincreased. Moreover, in recent decades,city sanitation has improved enormously. Yet the city's population growth has not significantly accelerated.

　　C：小于Megacity的城市与本题无关;

　　D: 大量的移民在Megacity定定居了, 这应该说明Megacity的人口上升, 与现象不符;

　　E: 没有变化,又在比较
