Mass transportation revised the social and economic fabric of the American city in three fundamental ways. It speeded up physical expansion, it sorted out people and land uses, and it【C1】________the inherent instability of urban life.【C2】________opening vast areas of unoccupied land for residential expansion, the buses,【C3】________commuter trains, and electric trolleys pulled settled regions outward two to four times more【C4】________from city centers than they were in the pre-modern era. In 1850, for example, the borders of Boston lay【C5】________two miles from the old business district; by the turn of the century the【C6】________extended ten miles. Now those who could afford it could live far removed from the old city center and still【C7】________there for work, shopping, and【C8】________. The new accessibility of land around the periphery of almost every major city【C9】________an explosion of real estate development and fueled what we now【C10】________as urban sprawl. Between 1890 and 1920, for example, some 250,000 new residential lots were recorded within the borders of Chicago,【C11】________of them located in outlying areas. Over the same period, another 550,000 were plotted outside the city limits【C12】________within the metropolitan area. Anxious to take advantage of the possibilities of commuting, real estate developers【C13】________800,000 potential building sites to the Chicago region in just thirty years—lots that could have housed five to six million people.
Of course, many were never【C14】________; there was always a huge surplus of subdivided, but vacant, land around Chicago and other cities. These【C15】________present a feature of residential expansion【C16】________the growth of mass transportation: urban sprawl was essentially unplanned. It was【C17】________by thousands of small investors who paid little care to coordinated land use or to【C18】________land users. Those who purchased and prepared land for residential purposes, particularly land near or outside city borders【C19】________transit lines and middle-class inhabitants were anticipated, did so to create demand as much as to respond to it. Chicago is a prime example of this【C20】________. Real estate subdivision there proceeded much faster than population growth.
【C11】
选项
A、none
B、most
C、rare
D、partial
答案
B
解析
文章主要论述居民住宅向市郊扩展,因而建在偏远郊区的新建住宅区应该占大多数,故选B项most“大多数”。A项None“没有一个”,既然居民要乘坐交通工具往返于住宅区和市中心之间,新建的楼去不可能没有一个在郊区。C项rare“罕见的”和D项partial“部分的”是形容词。后面不能接of them。
