问题     Some cities have planned their transportation systems for ear owners. That is what Los Angeles did. Los Angeles decided to build highways for cars rather than spending money on public transportation.
    This decision was suitable for Los Angeles. The city grew outward instead of upward. Los Angeles never built many tall apartment buildings. Instead, people live in houses with gardens.
    In Los Angeles, most people drive cars to work. And every car has to have a parking space. So many buildings where people work also have parking tots.
    Los Angeles also became a city without a Central Business District (CBD). If a city has a CBD, crowds of people rush into it every day to work. If people drive to work, they need lots of road space.
    So Los Angeles developed several business districts and built homes and other buildings in between the districts. This required more roads and parking spaces.
    Some people defend this growth pattern. They say Los Angeles is the city of the future.

选项 A、there is no public transportation system
B、more money is spent on highways for cars
C、more money is spent on public transportation systems
D、public transportation is more developed than in other cities

答案B

解析 根据该短文,洛杉矶是一个怎样的城市呢?短文第一段最后一句说“Los Angeles decided to build highways for cars rather than spending money on public transportation”,由此可以知道,洛杉矶是花钱建汽车用高速公路,而不是建公共交通,故答案选B。
