Reformation of these areas【C4】______the objective of early city planners, who imposed regulatory laws establishing【C5】______for【C6】______, sanitation, water supply, sewage and public health conditions.

【C10】
选项 A、intensity
B、strength
C、density
D、volume
答案C
解析 词汇题。词义辨析题。前面从空间角度交待了建筑物的高度限制，与此相并列的只有建筑物的密度限制，因此选density。density“密度”，指每单位测度的数量，尤指每单位长度、面积或体积，如：the density of population人口密度。volume“量，数量”，如：They have bought a considerable volume of lumber．他们购买了大量的木材。volume表绝对的数量，没有相对性，因此，不如density能更好地反映建筑物的数量对市民生活质量的影响。intensity意为“强烈，紧张，强度”，指特别强烈的程度、力量或动力，如：He could hardly keep himself from the intensity of the sun’s ray．他很难避开强烈的太阳光线。strength“强度”，指抵抗张力或压力的力量；本句没有涉及建筑物质量的问题。由此可见，此两选项均不合题意。
