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 purpose of the second paragraph is to list some________.
选项 A、benefits of walking
B、occasions for walking in city life
C、comments made by city people
D、problems of city living
答案B
解析 主旨理解题。第二段的主题句的第一句话“This factor is exercise”，长寿的要素是锻炼，这句话概括了第二段的主要内容，下面则通过一些例子说明住在城里的人为什么必须多走路并因此而得到了锻炼，所以选项B“第二段的目的是为了列举城市居民需要走路的情况”符合文意。
