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.
What does city growth result in?
选项
A、A definite degree of planned order.
B、Uniform growth throughout the city’s area.
C、A systematic pattern of restoration.
D、An aimless growth of new areas over old.
答案
D
解析
本题问城市的扩张带来了什么后果。文章第二段和第三段的后半部分指出,除了自然形成的外观之外,人们辨不出明显的形状,映入眼帘的是连绵不断和杂乱无章的建筑群,这里凸出或鼓起一片建筑物,那里被一片绿地或一条僵直的水泥地带割断……。这里城市吸纳了村庄和小镇,并把它们变为一些地名,那里城市又欣然留下一些当地政府机构和一些有过独立生活的遗迹,这甚至助长了它们的复兴。由此,我们可以推断出本题的正确答案应是D“一种漫无目的的新地区取代旧地区的发展”。
