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. [br] The city’s original container appears to have______.
选项
A、enlarged itself
B、disappeared totally
C、decided the city’s present shape
D、marked the limits of the city’s expansion
答案
B
解析
本题是一道具体细节题。问城市原来的城池变得怎样了。此题利用查阅式阅读法,根据文章第一段内容和第二段的第一句话,乘坐飞机在伦敦、布宜诺斯艾利斯、芝加哥、悉尼等城市的上空盘旋,或借助市政地图、沙盘俯瞰这些城市。我们会产生这样的疑问,这城市的形状是什么样子的?城市又是如何定义自己的呢?原来的城池已经完全消失,城市与乡村的界限已经不复存在……因此,本题的正确答案应是B“原来的城池似乎已经完全消失了”。
