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] What does the author compare the growth of the city to?
选项
A、A cancerous organism.
B、A highly complex organism.
C、Any small town or village.
D、A healthy organism.
答案
A
解析
本题是一道具体细节题。问作者将城市的扩张比做什么了。文章第三段前半部分指出,没有经过社会的染色体的划分而分裂成新细胞……,这些城市继续无组织地增长,实际上有点像患了癌症似的增长,不断毁掉旧的组织,过量增生着无规则的新组织。由此,我们可以推知,作者将城市的过度扩张比做是像生物患了癌症一样。因此,本题的正确答案应是A。
