Circle over London, Buenos Aires, Chicago, Sydney in an airplane or view the cities schematically (图表式的) by means of an urban map and block pan. What is the shape of the city and how does it define itself?
The original container has completely disappeared: the sharp division between city and country no longer exists...One can pick out no definite shapes except those formed by nature: one beholds rather a continuous shapeless mass, here bulging (凸起, 膨胀) or ridged with building, there broken by a patch of green or an unwinding ribbon of concrete...
Failing to divide its social chromosomes (染色体) and split up into new cells...the city continues to grow inorganically, indeed cancerously, by a continuous breaking down of old tissues and an overgrowth of formless new tissues. Here the city has absorbed villages and little towns, reducing them to place names ...; there it has, more happily, left the organs of local government and the vestiges (遗迹, 残余) of an independent life, even assisted their revival ...; it has nevertheless enveloped those urban areas in its physical organization and built up the open land that once served to ensure their identity and integrity. Sometimes the expanding street system forms an orderly pattern; sometimes it produces only a crazy network. The difference between one type of order and another is merely a difference in the degree of sprawl, confusion, de-building.
As one moves away from the center, the urban growth becomes ever more aimless and discontinuous, more diffuse and unfocused, except where some surviving town has left the original imprint of a more orderly life.
New areas of city growth appear to be______.
选项
A、carefully planned
B、identical with the old
C、more ordered than the old
D、formless
答案
D
解析
本题是一道具体细节题。问新城区的发展似乎是什么样的。文章最后一段指出,当人们离开市中心时就会发现,除了一些遗留下来的城镇里还保留着原来那种比较有序的生活特征之外,城市的扩张变得更加漫无目的,毫无连续性可言,更加疏散弥漫,而毫无向心性。因此,本题的正确答案应是D“杂乱无形”。
