The private car is assumed to have widened our horizons and increased our mobility. When we consider our children’s mobility, they can be driven to more places than they could visit without access to a motor vehicle. However, allowing our cities to be dominated by cars has progressively eroded children’s independent mobility. Children have lost much of their freedom to explore their own neighborhood or city without adult supervision.
Children’s independent access to their local streets may be important for their own personal, mental and psychological development. Allowing them to get to know their own neighborhood and community gives them a ’sense of place’. This depends on active exploration, which is not provided for when children are passengers in cars. Not only is it important that children be able to get to local play areas by themselves, but walking and cycling journeys to school and to other destinations provide genuine play activities in themselves.
The reduction in children’s freedom may also contribute to a weakening of the sense of local community. As fewer children and adults use the streets as pedestrians(步行), these streets become less sociable places. There is less opportunity for children and adults to have the spontaneous exchanges that help to engender a feeling of community. This in itself may exacerbate(加重) fear associated with assault of children, because there are fewer adults available who know their neighbors’ children, and who can look out for their safety.
As individuals, parents strive to provide the best upbringing they can for their children. However, in doing so parents may be contributing to a more dangerous environment for children generally. The idea that ’ streets are for cars and back yards and playgrounds are for children is a strongly held belief, and parents have little choice as individuals but to keep their children off the streets if they want to protect their safety.
In many parts of Dutch cities, and some traffic calmed precincts(区域) in Germany, residential streets are now places where cars must give way to pedestrians. In these areas, residents are accepting the view that the function of streets is not solely to provide mobility for cars. Streets may also be for social interaction, walking, cycling and playing. One of the most important aspects of these European cities, in terms of giving cities back to children, has been a range of "traffic calming" initiatives, aimed at reducing the volume and speed of traffic. These initiatives have had complex interactive effects, leading to a sense that children have been able to ’ recapture’ their local neighborhood, and more importantly, that they have been able to do this in safety. Recent research has demonstrated that children in many German cities have significantly higher levels of freedom to travel to places in their own neighborhood or city than children in other cities in the world. [br] Children will benefit a lot if______.
选项
A、their parents drive them to more places
B、they can get more freedom to explore some close places without adult supervision
C、the cars in the city they live must give way to them
D、their parents keep them off the streets for safety
答案
B
解析
根据题干并不能定位答案之所在,考生应该先了解各项。B项内容是第一段最后一句的同义转述,文中提到:Children have lost much of their freedom to explore their own neighborhood or city without adult supervision.即孩子们失去了在没有大人监督的情况下去探索他们附近区域或城市的自由,也就是说,如果没有父母监督他们能更自由地探索邻近区域的话,他们应该会有很大收益。文章第二段对此进行了深入的描述。故B项正确。
