Mass transportation revised the social and economic fabric of the American city in three fundamental ways. It speeded up physical expansion, it sorted out people and land uses, and it【C1】________the inherent instability of urban life.【C2】________opening vast areas of unoccupied land for residential expansion, the buses,【C3】________commuter trains, and electric trolleys pulled settled regions outward two to four times more【C4】________from city centers than they were in the pre-modern era. In 1850, for example, the borders of Boston lay【C5】________two miles from the old business district; by the turn of the century the【C6】________extended ten miles. Now those who could afford it could live far removed from the old city center and still【C7】________there for work, shopping, and【C8】________. The new accessibility of land around the periphery of almost every major city【C9】________an explosion of real estate development and fueled what we now【C10】________as urban sprawl. Between 1890 and 1920, for example, some 250,000 new residential lots were recorded within the borders of Chicago,【C11】________of them located in outlying areas. Over the same period, another 550,000 were plotted outside the city limits【C12】________within the metropolitan area. Anxious to take advantage of the possibilities of commuting, real estate developers【C13】________800,000 potential building sites to the Chicago region in just thirty years—lots that could have housed five to six million people.
Of course, many were never【C14】________; there was always a huge surplus of subdivided, but vacant, land around Chicago and other cities. These【C15】________present a feature of residential expansion【C16】________the growth of mass transportation: urban sprawl was essentially unplanned. It was【C17】________by thousands of small investors who paid little care to coordinated land use or to【C18】________land users. Those who purchased and prepared land for residential purposes, particularly land near or outside city borders【C19】________transit lines and middle-class inhabitants were anticipated, did so to create demand as much as to respond to it. Chicago is a prime example of this【C20】________. Real estate subdivision there proceeded much faster than population growth.
【C10】
选项
A、reward
B、honor
C、expect
D、know
答案
D
解析
根据空格后的urban sprawl(城市蔓延),可知此处是介绍一个名称,故选D项know“知晓,熟知”,句子意思是“我们所知道的城市蔓延一说”。A项reward“酬谢,奖赏”,把城市外围土地当作奖赏不太可能,不合逻辑。B项honor“尊敬,给以荣誉”,“城市蔓延”并不是什么荣誉的名称。根据上文fueled用的过去式,说明是过去发生的事情;而空格前有now,如果空格处填入C项expect,则是指对将来的期望,前后矛盾。
