The energy crisis, which is being felt around the world, has dramatized how the careless use of the earth’s resources has brought the whole world to the brink of disaster. The over-development of motor transport, with its increase of more cars, more highways, more pollution, more suburbs, more commuting, has contributed to the near destruction of our cities. The disaster has arrived in the form of the energy crisis.
Our present situation is unlike war, revolution or depression. Worldwide resources exploitation and energy use have brought us to a state where long range planning is essential. What we need is not a continuation of our present serious state, which endangers the future of our country, our children, and our earth, but a movement forward to a new norm in order to work rapidly and effectively on planetary problems.
This country has been falling back under the continuing exposures of loss of morality and the revelation that lawbreaking has reached into the highest places in thei land. There is a strong demand for moral revival and for some devotion that is vast enough and yet personal enough to enlist the devotion of all. In the past it has been only in a way in defense of their own country and their own ideals that any people have been able to devote themselves wholeheartedly.
This is the first time that we have been asked to defend ourselves and what we hold dear in cooperation with all the other inhabitants of this planet, who share with us the same endangered air and the same endangered oceans. There is a common need to reassess our present course, to change that course and to devise new methods through which the world can; survive. This is a priceless opportunity.
To grasp it we need a widespread understanding of nature if the crisis confronting us-and the world-is a crisis that is no passing inconvenience, no by product of thej ambitions of the oil producing countries, no environmentalists’ mere fears, no by product of any present system of government. What we face is the outcome of the invention of the last four hundred years. What we need is a transformed life style. This new life style can flow directly from science and technology, but its acceptance depends on a sincere devotion to finding a higher quality of life for the world’s children and future generation.
Which condition does the author feel has nearly destroyed our cities?
选项
A、Lack of financial planning.
B、The breakup of the family.
C、Natural disasters in many regions.
D、The excessive growth of motors.
答案
D
解析
题目问:作者认为哪一种状况几乎摧毁了我们的城市?第一段“The over-development of motortransport,with its increase of more cars,more highways,more pollution,more suburbs,more commuting,has contributed to the near destruction of our cities.”通过这句话可知,汽车运输的过度发展,增加了更多的汽车,更多的公路,更多的污染,更多的郊区,等等,几乎破坏了我们的城市。据此判断,应选择D。
