[单项选择]Large modem cities are too big to control. They impose their own living conditions on the people who live in them. Citizens are obliged by their surroundings to take a wholly unnatural way of life. They lose touch with the land and rhythm (节奏) of nature. It is possible to live in such air-conditioned (装有空调的) houses in a large city that you can hardly know the seasons. A few flowers in a public park (if you have the time to visit it) may make you remember that it is spring or summer. A few leaves on the sidewalk may cause you to remember that it is autumn. Beyond that, what is going on in nature seems to have nothing to do with you. All the simple, good things of life like sunshine and fresh air are hard to get. Tall buildings shut out the sun. Waste gases from cars, buses and trucks pollute the atmosphere.
Even the difference between day and night is lost. The flow of cars, buses and trucks goes on constantly and noise never stops.
What are highly respected in big cities
A. Air-conditioned houses.
B. Living conditions.
C. A few flowers and a few leaves.
D. Sunshine and fresh air.
[单项选择]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 fu
A. in the city center
B. along the main roads
C. around business districts
D. within the business districts
