问题     When Mrs. Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna, Austria, people asked the obvious, “Why did she live to be 107?” Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100. Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities. In spite of the city’s image as an unhealthy place, city living often provides benefits that country living can lack. One factor seems to be important to the longevity (长寿) of those interviewed.
    This factor is exercise. In the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus. Even taking public transportation often requires some walking. Smaller apartment houses have no elevators (电梯) , and so people must climb stairs. City people can usually walk to local supermarkets. Since parking spaces are hard to find, there is often no alternative to walking.
    On the other hand, those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day. In fact, the opposite is often true. To go to school, work, or almost anywhere else, they must ride in cars.
The Vienna survey may help to explain________.
选项 A、the complaints of people in apartment houses
B、the cause of Mrs. Groeger’s death
C、the longevity of people like Mrs. Groeger
D、the image of cities in general
答案C
解析 细节推理题。见原文第一段第一句话“people asked the obvious, ’Why did she live to be107?’ Answers were provided by a survey”，人们询问为什么她能活到107岁，这个调查回答了这个问题，所以选项C“这个调查解释了像 Groeger 太太这样的人长寿的原因”是正确答案。
