[A]New development without plan
[B]Bad effects of " sprawl
[C]Seriousness of " sprawl
[D]Contrast between the increase of the rate of developing open space and that of population
[E]Investment in cities is reduced by the open space development
[F]The rapid rate of developing open space
[G]Disclosure of the inventory to the open space
Since the end of World War II, a dramatic change in the American landscape has occurred as city dwellers have moved out of compact urban neighborhoods to newly built suburbs on the city’s edge.
【C1】______
This outward migration began a fundamental shift in the pattern of development. As the population moved, urban areas began to decline, and, far too often, the roads, houses, malls and office parks in the new developments were built without anticipating how they all fit together; without making sure they provided the foundation for true neighborhoods.
【C2】______
Today, haphazard development, urban disinvestment, and a deteriorating quality of life have come to be known simply as "sprawl". A poll released in February of this year by the Pew Center for Civic Journalism found that sprawl now ranks equally with crime as the number one local issue concerning American people. This genuine, and quite understandable, worry reflects the reality that in many areas of our country sprawl paves over the countryside, drains the vitality from our cities, and hurts our quality of life.
【C3】______
A recent inventory from the Department of Agriculture found that the amount of open land converted to development has more than doubled on an annual basis in the last five years. Today, more than 1. 2 million hectares of our farms, forests, and open spaces are converted to development each year.
【C4】______
The rate of developing open space far exceeds the rate of population increase. For example, since 1950 the population of the St. Louis region increased by 35 percent, but just between 1950 and 1990, as the population moved outward, the amount of developed land increased by 355 percent.
【C5】______
The same development that is eating up open spaces is also sucking investment out of the cities. Between 1994 and 1997, a study that looked at seven metro areas in Ohio found there were 10 jobs created in the suburbs for every one in the cities. As jobs leave the cities, it becomes harder and harder for residents to find good jobs and for government to provide services.
As we spread farther out, Americans must travel greater distances between home, work, shopping, and recreation. As a result, families depend on cars for more and more of their daily travel. While the U. S. population has been increasing about 1 percent a year, vehicle miles travelled have risen 3. 2 percent a year—more than three times the rate of population growth.

选项
答案
F
解析
考生可能会误选选项[G]。本段开头是关于农业部的调查报告,但是报告本身并不是段落的中心,报告所要揭示的内容——土地的开发速度很快,才是本段的重点,也是该段的中心句。最后一句也在说开发还在继续,是对中心句的进一步阐述。所以不选选项[G]。
