细节题
Le Corbusier had drawn up his Parisian scheme at a moment of unequalled urban crisis. Across the developing world, cities were exploding in size. In 1800 the French capital was home to 647, 000 people.
By 1910 three million were squeezed within its inadequate confines. In apartment buildings, several families typically shared a single room. In 1900, in the poor districts of Paris, one toilet generally served 70 residents. A cold-water tap was a luxury. Factories and workshops were sited in the middle of residential areas. Streets were choked by traffic day and night.
Le Corbusier was horrified by such conditions. “All cities have fallen into a mess,” he remarked, “The world is sick.” Given the scale of the crisis, measures were in order, and the architect was in no mood to feel sentimental about their side effects. “The existing centres must come down,” he said, “To save itself every great city must rebuild its centre.” In order to alleviate overcrowding, the ancient low-rise buildings would have to be replaced by a new kind of structure only recently made possible by advances in concrete technology: the skyscraper. “2, 700 people will use one front door,” marveled Le Corbusier.
By building upwards, two problems would be resolved at a stroke—overcrowding and urban sprawl.
With room enough for everyone in towers, there would be no need to spread outwards and absorb the countryside in the process. There would be enough green space as well, as up to 50 per cent of urban land would be devoted to parks. The new city would itself be a vast park, with large towers dotted among the trees. On the roofs of the apartment blocks, there would be games of tennis, and sunbathing on the shores of artificial beaches.
Meanwhile, Le Corbusier planned to transform the city street system. He recommended that the two be separated. In the new city, people would have footpaths all to themselves, winding through woods and forests (no pedestrian will ever meet an automobile, ever!), while cars would enjoy massive and dedicated motorways, with smooth, curving interchanges, thus guaranteeing that no driver would ever have to slow down for the sake of a pedestrian.
The division of cars and people was but one element in Le Corbusier’s plan for a reorganization of life in the new city. There would no longer be factories, for example, in the middle of residential areas. The new city would be an arena of green space, clean air, adequate accommodation and flowers.
What did Le Corbusier think of the Paris which he lived in?
It was turning on a new look.
","It was in completely disorder.
","It was developing very slowly.
","It was in a severe financial crisis.
"]观点态度题。根据第三段 “‘All cities have fallen into a mess,’ he remarked, ‘The world is sick.’” (‘所有城市都陷入了混乱,’ 他说,‘世界都病了。’)” 可知,Le Corbusier认为他生活的巴黎完全处于混乱之中。故选B。
The word “alleviate” (in paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to .
cause
","relieve
","worsen
","understand
"]词义猜测题。根据第三段 “In order to alleviate overcrowding, the ancient low-rise buildings would have to be replaced by a new kind of structure only recently made possible by advances in concrete technology: the skyscraper. ‘2, 700 people will use one front door,’ marveled Le Corbusier. (为了alleviate过度拥挤的情况,古老的低层建筑必须被一种新的结构所取代,这种结构最近才因混凝土技术的进步而成为可能:摩天大楼。Le Corbusier惊叹道:‘2700人将使用一扇前门。’)” 可知,新的建筑结构能容纳更多人,这是为了解决过度拥挤的问题,推测alleviate在此处意为 “缓解,减轻”,与relieve意思相近。故选B。
According to Le Corbusier’s scheme, what would happen in Paris?
There would be more room for pedestrians than vehicles.
","More people would choose to live in suburban areas.
","Enough space would be spared for sports in parks.
","Areas of different functions wouldn’t be mixed.
"]细节理解题。根据倒数第二段 “Meanwhile, Le Corbusier planned to transform the city street system. He recommended that the two be separated. In the new city, people would have footpaths all to themselves, winding through woods and forests (no pedestrian will ever meet an automobile, ever!), while cars would enjoy massive and dedicated motorways, with smooth, curving interchanges, thus guaranteeing that no driver would ever have to slow down for the sake of a pedestrian. (与此同时,Le Corbusier计划改造城市街道系统。他建议将两者分开。在新城市,人们将拥有自己的人行道,蜿蜒穿过树林和森林 (没有行人会遇到汽车,永远!),而汽车将享受巨大而专用的高速公路,有平滑、弯曲的立交桥,从而保证没有司机会为了行人而减速。)” 以及最后一段 “There would no longer be factories, for example, in the middle of residential areas. (例如,居民区中间将不再有工厂。)” 可知,Le Corbusier的方案中,行人将与车辆分开、增加绿地,巴黎不同功能的区域将不会混合在一起。故选D。
What is the passage mainly about?
The original form and the malfunction of Paris.
","Some historical facts and future prospects of Paris.
","An architect’s plan to rebuild the central part of Paris.
","What people suffered from in the crowded city of Paris.
"]主旨大意题。根据全文内容,特别是第一段 “Le Corbusier had drawn up his Parisian scheme at a moment of unequalled urban crisis. (勒·柯布西耶是在一个前所未有的城市危机时刻制定他的巴黎计划的。)” 和第三段 “‘The existing centres must come down,’ he said, ‘To save itself every great city must rebuild its centre.’ (‘现有的中心必须拆除,’ 他说,‘为了拯救自己,每个大的城市都必须重建其中心。’)” 可知,本文主要介绍了Le Corbusier重建巴黎市中心的计划。故选C。
