garden city was largely the invention of ebenezer howard(18501928). after immigrating from england to the usa,and an unsuccessful attempt to make a living as a farmer,he moved to chicago,where he saw the reconstruction of the city after the disastrous fire of 1871. in those days,it was nicknamed “the garden city”,almost certainly the source of howards name for his later building plan of towns. returning to london,howard developed his design in the 1880s and 1890s,drawing on ideas that were popular at the time,but creating a unique combination of designs.the nineteenth-century poor city was in many ways a terrible place,dirty and crowded;but it offered economic and social opportunities. at the same time,the british countryside was in fact equally unattractive:though it promised fresh air and nature,it suffered from agricultural depression(萧条) and it offered neither enough work and wages,nor much social life. howards idea was to combine the best of town and country in a new kind of settlement,the garden city. howards idea was that a group of people should set up a company,borrowing money to establish a garden city in the depressed countryside,far enough from existing cities to make sure that the land was bought at the bottom price.garden cities would provide a central public open space,radial avenues and connecting industries. they would be surrounded by a much larger area of green belt,also owned by the company,containing not merely farms but also some industrial institutions. as more and more people moved in,the garden city would reach its planned limithoward suggested 32,000 people;then,another would be started a short distance away. thus,over time,there would develop a vast planned house collection,extending almost without limit;within it,each garden city would offer a wide range of jobs and services,but each would also be connected to the others by a rapid transportation system,thus giving all the economic and social opportunities of a big city.1. how did howard get the name for his building plan of garden cities?a. through his observation of the country life.b. through the combination of different ideas.c. by taking other peoples advice.d. by using the nickname of the reconstructed chicago.2. the underlined phrase “drawing on” in paragraph 1 probably means.a. making use of b. making comments onc. giving an explanation ofd.

countrysideb. the invention of the garden cityc. a new city in chicagod. a famous garden city in england【参考答案】69.1-5 dabab 社会生活类-70skeptics are a strange lot. some of them refuse to admit the serious threat of human activities to the environment, and they are tired of people who disagree with them. those people, say skeptics, spread nothing but bad news about the environment. the “eco-guilt” brought on by the discouraging news about our planet gives rise to the popularity of skeptics as people search for more comforting worldviews. perhaps that explains why a new book by bjorn lomborg received so much publicity. that book, the skeptical environmentalist, declares that it measures the “real state of the world” as fine. of course, another explanation is the deep pockets of some big businesses with special interests. indeed, mr. lomborgs views are similar to those of some industry-funded organizations, which start huge activities through the media to confuse the public about issues like global warming. so it was strange to see mr. lomborgs book go largely unchallenged in the media though his beliefs were contrary to most scientific opinions. one national newspaper in canada ran a number of articles and reviews full of words of praise, even with the conclusion that “after lomborg, the environmental movement will begin to die down.”such one-sided views should have immediately been challenged. but only a different review appeared in nature, a respected science magazine with specific readership. the review remarked that mr. lomborgs “preference for unexamined materials is incredible (不可信的)”. a critical (批判的) eye is valuable, and the media should present information in such a way that could allow people to make informed decisions. unfortunately, that is often inaccessible as blocked by the desire to be shocking or to defend some special interests. people might become half-blind before a world partially exhibited by the media. thats a shame, because matters concerning the health of the planet are far too important to be treated lightly.1. according to the passage, which of the following may be regarded as “skeptics” ? a. people who agree on the popularity of“eco-guilt”.b. people who disbelieve the serious situation of our planet.c. people who dislike the harmful effect of human activities.d. people who spread comforting news to protect our environment.2. wh
