问题      Greenspace facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment. Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject bas to start with the proof of this idem At present it is generally accepted, although more as a self-evident statement than on the base of a closely-reasoned scientific proof. The recognition of the importance of greenspace in the urban environment is a first step on the fight way, this does not mean, however, that sufficient details are known about the functions of greenspace in towns and about the way in which the inhabitants are using these spaces. As to this rather complex subject I shall, within the scope of this lecture, enter into one aspect only, namely the re-creative function of greenspace facilities.
     The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation which for many years has been used in town and country planning, has in my opinion resulted in disproportionate attention for forms of recreation far from home, whereas there was relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighbourhood of the home. We have come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for activities at and around home. So it is obvious that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street-door of the house. The urban environment has to offer as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory activities can also have a recreative aspect.
     The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play in the streets because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot of enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street-door of your house is closed after you.  
The main idea of this passage is that ______.
选项 A、better use of greenspace facilities should be made so as to improve the quality of our life
B、attention must be directed to the improvement of recreative possibilities
C、the urban environment is providing more recreation activities than it did many years ago
D、priority must be given to the development of obligatory activities
答案A
解析 参见上述各题分析。文章先是指出greenspace对于城市环境很重要这一点已经为人们所广泛接受，然后批评了城乡规划中将生活、工作、交通和娱乐等在理论上分开，从而导致娱乐设施远离人们生活区的做法，提出了娱乐设施应当建在家的周围的观点(即更好地利用它们)，最后总结了这样做对提高生活水平的好处。由此可知文章主旨是A 。
