“New Towns" Plans
The plan of building"New Towns"to absorb growth is frequently considered a cure-all for urban problems. It is erroneously(错误地)assumed that if new residents can be diverted from existing centers,the present urban situation at least will get no worse.It is further and equally erroneously assumed that since European New Towns have been financially and socially successful,we can expect the same sorts of resorts in the United States.
Present planning,thinking,and legislation will not produce the kinds of New Town that have been successful abroad.It will multiply suburbs or encourage development in areas where land is cheap and construction profitable rather than where New Towns are genuinely needed.
Such ill-considered projects not only will fail to relieve pressures on existing cities but will,in fact,tend to weaken those cities further by drawing away high-income citizens and increasing the concentration of low-income groups that are unable to provide tax income.The remaining taxpayers, accordingly,will face increasing burdens,and industry and commerce will seek escape. Unfortunately,this mechanism is already at work in some metropolitan areas.
The promoters of New Towns so far in the United States have been developers,builders,and financial institutions.The main interest of these promoters is economic gain.Furthermore,federal regulations designed to promote the New Town idea do not consider social needs as the European New Town plans do.In fact,our regulations specify virtually all the ingredients of the typical suburban community,with a bit of political rhetoric thrown in.
A workable American New Town formula should be established as firmly here as the national formula was in Britain.All possible social and governmental innovation as well as financial factors should be clearly stated,and both incentives and penalties should be provided to ensure that the
objectives are pursued.If such a policy is developed,then the New Town approach can play an important role in alleviating America's urban problems.
选项
The purpose of building New Towns in America is________.
A:to develop suburban area
B:to improve urban situation
C:to gain economic interest
D:to provide new residence for low-income people
答案
B
解析
问题涉及作者对“新城镇计划”的态度。第一段指出把这一计划看作a cure-all for urban problems是错误的,随后指出了存在的问题,文章第三段开头提出这些问题都是由于考虑不周全(ill-considered)而造成的,因此选C。
文章在分析美国的“新城镇计划”不成功的原因时是基于与欧洲新城镇计划的比较的,选项A、B和D都是美国没有做到的,只有C才表明了它的“新城镇计划”不成功的原因,即“The main interest of these promoters is economic gain”建立新城镇的根本目的是出于经济的考量。
本题答案参见第三段。A、B、C三个选项的内容都是关于美国新城镇计划削弱城市的原因,因此,选项D全面概括了内容。
本题问到发展新城镇的目的。从第三段第一句“…will fail to relievepressures on existing cities”,即考虑不当的新城镇计划不能缓解城市的压力,而只有选项B,即改善城市状况和意思相符,因此,B为正确答案。
第五段指出,"All possible social and governmental innovation as well as financial factors should be clearly stated",所有可能的社会和政府革新及财政因素都应清楚地阐明。所以,选项A正确。
