【C14】
选项 A、general
B、specific
C、special
D、long-range
答案B
解析 篇章题。上下文理解题。本句阐述了规划重心的转移，前半部分讲“考虑整体因素”，后面又说“优化整个城市环境”，那么规划者aim less at…“不再以……为主要目标”，显然应与“整体”成对立相反的关系．因此，选项specific“具体的”为正确答案。general“一般的”和long—range“长期的”不能与“整体”形成相反关系，应排除在外。而special“特殊的”的反义词为general，因此，不如specific准确。specific“具体的”，如：There are two specific questions we must answer．有两个具体问题我们必须回答。special“特别的，特殊的”，指超过一般或寻常的，如：He didn’t utter a single word on such a special occasion．在这样一种特殊场合，他一个字也没说。general“大体上的”，指只涉及主要特征而不关细节，如：It is far from being enough for us to have a general grasp of the subject．大略掌握这门学科是远远不够的。long—range“长期的”，如：a long-range planning长期计划。
