问题     The modern urban planning and redevelopment movement【C1】______in response to the【C2】______and dirtiness of the slum areas which were【C3】______by the Industrial Revolution in the 19th century. Reformation of these areas【C4】______the objective of early city planners, who imposed regulatory laws establishing【C5】______for【C6】______, sanitation, water supply, sewage and public health conditions. Urban planners also introduced parks and playgrounds into crowded city neighborhoods ,【C7】______places for recreation, as well as【C8】______relief.
    The chief new urban-planning concept of the early 20th century was zoning — the regulation of building activity to set【C9】______of height and【C10】______and to protect established neighborhoods.
    Urban territory【C11】______as a result of improved public transportation. Workers could live far from their jobs, traveling back and forth by bus, subway, or car.
    By the middle of the 20th century, urban planning【C12】______its focus. Planners realized that factors of city living must be considered as a whole, so they aimed less【C13】______attacking【C14】______problems than at the improvement of entire urban surroundings.

In Great Britain, India, Israel, and South America【C16】______new cities【C17】______built entirely from plans.

【C16】
选项 A、a number
B、many a
C、few
D、a few
答案D
解析 词汇题。惯用法题。从cities这个复数形式看，选项应能够表示复数意义。a number后需加of再接名词，表“一些”。many a后接单数名词表复数，意为“许多”。few表否定意义“很少，几乎没有”，如：He was a man of few words．他是一个沉默寡言的人。句子前面部分举例说明各个国家都呈现这种情况——城市建设完全依照规划，因此，没有否定的意义。由此可见，前面三个选项均不能选。而a few既表“几个”，含义符合题意，后面又直接跟名词，因此为正确答案。
