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.
Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
选项
A、The Organic City.
B、The Disappearing of Country.
C、Sprawling Giantism.
D、A Comparison of Growth Process.
答案
C
解析
本题问本文的最佳标题是什么。利用浏览式阅读法通读全文,我们可以看出作者用比喻的手法讲述了现代社会中城市扩张的无序性与蔓延性。因此,本题的正确答案应是C“蔓延着的巨人症”。
