Passage Two
内容概要:本文讨论的是一个城市到底如何才能变的有生气。作者首先通过详细的例子讲述了城市规划的重要性所在。鲜明的对比使我们很容易发现规划后的城市楼高了、路直了、绿地多了、景色更漂亮了。这样的城市应该是非常吸引居民的。然而事实并非如此,人们觉得这样的城市很无聊,没有生气。作者以此引出了主题,一个城市规划再好,要是没有了一种城市精神,就无法激发居民的忠诚和对城市的爱。
26.【答案】B。
【译文】只有老练的出租车司机才熟知伦敦的全情。
【试题分析】词义辨析题。
【详细解答】通过第一段的阅读,我们可以发现伦敦的街道弯弯曲曲、迂回曲折,想要在这样的城市中找路,到底要什么样的司机呢?显然C)新手 和 D)热心肠都不能真正帮上忙。那么A)当地人怎么样呢?大家在最后一句可以发现,和伦敦一样没有规划的纽约,“even a native-born...despairs of finding his way...”可见当地人找路都是特别困难的。故只有B)选项可选。
27.【答案】C。
【译文】从第一段中,我们可推断出在伦敦成为出租车司机是很困难的。
【试题分析】细节推理题。
【详细解答】伦敦的规划体制会是A)项中所阐述的健全的吗?要是健全的,路就不会是迂回曲折的了。纽约、芝家哥同伦敦一样,都是没有规划的发展,而不是B)中阐述的。而了解美国的同学应该知道,布鲁克林区是纽约市的一自治村镇,这里的规划和纽约一样,不会是D)中所阐述的。而在伦敦,想成为出租车司机,你需要几个月的时间来熟悉路况,通过全面的考试,可见资格的取得是相当困难的。故选C)。
28.【答案】D。
【译文】Kubitschek总统决定新建一座首都是因为他认为发展内陆城市是很有必要的。
【试题分析】细节考察题。
【详细解答】巴西利亚是巴西的新首都,然而为什么要建立这个新首都呢?仔细阅读会发现Rio de Janeiro(里约热内卢)濒临大西洋,大量的巴西人cram into把沿海城市塞得满满的,而国家内陆城市的各种资源则untapped(没有被开发利用),Kubitschek总统希望通过建立一座新首都,均衡开发国家的资源,而绝对不是A)项中的那样,希望人们向沿海城市发展。而巴西利亚刚建立时,不是B)或C)项中所讲的繁华城市或大城市,只是一大片荒地罢了。
29.【答案】B。
【译文】尽管哥伦比亚非常漂亮,但是会让年轻人觉得很无聊。
【试题分析】细节考察题。
【详细解答】通过文章的阅读,我们可以发现哥伦比亚是一座planned city规划过的城市。是使城市规划者非常喜悦的,而不是A)中所陈述的。而哥伦比亚已经建成,也不是C)中陈述的那样,存在于规划者的梦想。也不会是 D)项中所陈述的,一排排的脏房子以及稀少的绿地。而通过最后一段的阅读“...a beautiful new city like Columbia that makes young people shrug with boredom”,可见应选择B)。
