Reformation of these areas【C4】______the objective of early city planners, who imposed regulatory laws establishing【C5】______for【C6】______, sanitation, water supply, sewage and public health conditions.

【C18】
选项 A、aide
B、quality
C、factor
D、influence
答案C
解析 词汇题。词义辨析题。此句为文章的最后一句话，实际上是对城市规划作了一个总结。aide“助手，辅助人员”，指人，如：a nurse’s aide护士的助手。此句主语为urban planning(城市规划)，它不能与指人的“助手”划等号，因此，此项非正确答案。quality“特性，性质”，指内在的或特殊的性质。如：One quality of pinewood is that it can be sawn easily．松木的一个特点就是容易锯开。本句无此含义。influence“影响，感化力”，指影响人和事的力量，尤指不带直接和明显有意因素的客观力，是一种潜移默化的影响，如：No one can deny the influence of television on modern life．没人能否认电视对现代生活的影响。本文主要讲述城市规划在不同时期的特点，并没有谈及其对其他事物的影响，因此，不能选此项。factor“因素”指对完成某事或其发展过程有积极作用的东西，如：Endurance is an important factor of success in sports．耐力是运动中取得胜利的重要因素。本句讲“城市规划是重建城市时的一个重要因素”，因此，factor符合题意，为正确答案。
