问题     Some cities have planned their transportation systems for car owners. That is what Los Angeles did. Los Angeles decided to build highways for cars rather than spending money on public transportation．
    This decision was suitable for Los Angeles. The city grew outward instead of upward．Los Angeles never built many tall apartment buildings. Instead，people live in houses with gardens.
    In Los Angeles, most people drive cars to work. And every car has to have a parking space. So many buildings where people work also have parking lots.
    Los Angeles also became a city without a Central Business District(CBD). If a city has a CBD, crowds of people rush into it every day to work. If people drive to work, they need lots of road space．
    So Los Angeles developed several business districts and built homes and other buildings in between the districts. This required more roads and parking spaces．
    Some people defend this growth pattern. They say Los Angeles is the city of the future.
“The city grew outward instead of upward“(Line 1, Para. 2)means ______．
选项 A、the city became more spread out instead of growing taller
B、there were fewer small houses than tall buildings
C、rapid development took place in the city center
D、many tall buildings could be found in the city
答案A
解析 第二段的最后一句话是对“The city grew outward instead of upward. (这个城市是横向发展而不是纵向发展)”的解释说明，意思是：洛杉矶决不建很多高层公寓楼，相反，人们主要建的是带花园的房子。选项A意思是这个城市会变得更宽阔而不是变高。因此选A。
