Three Yale University professors agreed in a panel discussion tonight that the automobile was what one of them called "Public Health Enemy No. 1 in this country. ’ Besides polluting the air and congesting the cities, cars are involved in more than half the disabling accidents, and they contribute to heart disease "because we don’t walk anywhere anymore," said Dr. H. Richard Weinerman, professor of medicine and public health.
Relating many of these manmade hazards to the automobile, Arthur W. Galston, a professor of biology, said it was possible to make a keroseneburning turbine car that would "lessen smog by a very large factor." But he expressed doubt that Americans were willing to give up moving about the countryside at 90 miles an hour in a large vehicle. "America seems wedded to the motor car—every family has to have at least two, and one has to be a convertible with 300 horsepower," Professor Galston continued. "Is this the way of life that we choose because we cherish these values?"
For Professor Sears, part of the blame lies with "a society that regards profit as a supreme value, under the illusion that anything that’s technically possible is, therefore, ethically justified." Professor Seam also called the country’s dependence on its modem automobiles "lousy economics" because of the large horsepower used simply "moving one individual to work". But he conceded that Americans have painted themselves into a comer by allowing the national economy to become so reliant on the automobile industry.
The solution, Dr. Weinerman said, "is not to find a less dangerous fuel but a different system of innercity transportation. Because of the increasing use of cars, public transportation has been allowed to wither and degenerate, so that if you can’t walk to where you want to go, you have to have a car in most cities," he assorted. This in turn, Dr. Weinerman contended, is responsible for the "arteriosclerosis’ of public roads, for the blight of the inner city and for the middleclass movement to the suburbs. [br] According to Dr. Weinerman, the solution is ______.
选项
A、a fuel less dangerous than gasoline must be found
B、people should get rid of their cars and take the bus to work
C、one family should own just one car
D、public transportation should be improved so that people can become less dependent upon their cars for innercity transportation
答案
D
解析
细节题。见文章的最后一段内容,文章指出了惟一的解决办法就是改善城市的公共交通系统,减少家用汽车的使用数量,所以选项D为正确答案。
