The Development of Cities

  Mass transportation revised the social and economic fabric of the American city in three fundamental ways. It catalyzed physical expansion, it sorted out people and land uses, and it accelerated the inherent instability of urban life. By opening vast areas of unoccupied land for residential expansion, the omnibuses, horse railways, commuter trains, and electric trolleys pulled settled regions outward two to four times more distant form city centers than they were in the premodern（現(xiàn)代文明之前）era. In 1850, for example, the borders of Boston lay scarcely two miles from the old business district; by the turn of the century the radius extended ten miles. Now those who could afford it could live far removed from the old city center and still commute there for work, shopping, and entertainment. The new accessibility of land around the periphery of almost every major city sparked an explosion of real estate development and fueled what we now know as urban sprawl. Between 1890 and 1920, for example, some 250,000 new residential lots were recorded within the borders of Chicago, most of them located in outlying areas. Over the same period, another 550,000 were plotted outside the city limits but within the metropolitan area. Anxious to take advantage of the possibilities of commuting, real estate developers added 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 occupied; there was always a huge surplus of subdivided, but vacant, land around Chicago and other cities. These excesses underscore a feature of residential expansion related to the growth of mass transportation: urban sprawl was essentially unplanned. It was carried out by thousands of small investors who paid little heed to coordinated land use or to future land users. Those who purchased and prepared land for residential purposes, particularly land near or outside city borders where 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 process. Real estate（財產(chǎn)）subdivision（細分再分的部分）there proceeded much faster than population growth.

With which of the following subjects is the passage mainly concerned?

A Types of mass transportation.

B Instability of urban life.

C How supply and demand determine land use.

D The effect of mass transportation on urban expansion.

Why does the author mention both Boston and Chicago?

A To demonstrate positive and negative effects of growth.

B To exemplify cities with and without mass transportation.

C To show mass transportation changed many cities.

D To contrast their rate of growth.

According to the passage, what was one disadvantage of residential expansion?

A It was expensive.

B It happened too slowly.

C It was unplanned.

D It created a demand for public transportation.

The author mentions Chicago in the second paragraph as an example of a city,

A that is large.

B that is used as a model for land development.

C where the development of land exceeded population growth.

D with an excellent mass transportation system.

A special laboratory at the University of Chicago is busy only at night. It is a dream laboratory where researchers are at work studying dreamers. Their findings have discovered that everyone dreams from three to seven times a night, although in ordinary life a person may remember none or only one of his dreams.
　　While the subjects—usually students—sleep, special machines record their brain waves and eye movements as well as the body movements that signal the end of a dream. Surprisingly, all subjects sleep soundly.
Observers report that a person usually fidgets(煩躁不安) before a dream. Once the dream has started, his body relaxes and his eyes become more active, as if the curtain had gone up on a show. As soon as the machine shows that the dream is over, a buzzer wakens the sleeper. He sits up, records his dream, and goes back to sleep—perhaps to dream some more.
Researchers have found that if the dreamer is wakened immediately after his dream, he can usually recall the entire dream. If he is allowed to sleep even five more minutes, his memory of the dream will have disappeared.
【小題1】According to the passage, researchers at the University of Chicago are studying ____.

A．contents of dreams　B．dreamers while they dream
C．the meaning of dreamsD．the progress of sleeping
【小題2】Their finding has discovered that _____.
A．everyone dreams every night
B．dreams are easily remembered
C．dreams are likely to be frightening
D．One person dreams only one dream a night
【小題3】The machines being used in the experiment record _____.
A．the depth of sleep
B．the subjects’ brain waves and eye movements
C．how many dreams a person has
D．what a sleeper dreams during his sleep
【小題4】A person would be most likely to remember the dream that _____.
A．was of most interest to him
B．occurred immediately after he went to sleep
C．occurred just before he woke up
D．was the longest one to him
