48、EET 1. Passage 1 Greenspace facilities are contributing to an important extent to the quality of the urban environment. Fortunately it is no longer necessary that every lecture or every book about this subject has to start with the proof of this idea. At present it is generally accepted, although mo

49、re as a self-evident statement than on the base of a closely-reasoned scientific proof. The recognition of the importance of greenspace in the urban environment is a first step on the right way, this does not mean, however, that sufficient details are known about the functions of greenspace in towns

50、 and about the way in which the inhabitants are using these spaces. As to this rather complex subject I shall, within the scope of this lecture, enter into one aspect only, namely the recreative function of greenspace facilities. The theoretical separation of living, working, traffic and recreation

51、which for many years has been used in town and country planning, has in my opinion resulted in disproportionate attention for forms of recreation far from home, whereas there was relatively little attention for improvement of recreative possibilities in the direct neighbourhood of the home. We have

52、come to the conclusion that this is not right, because an important part of the time which we do not pass in sleeping or working, is used for activities at and around home. So it is obvious that recreation in the open air has to begin at the street-door of the house. The urban environment has to off

53、er as many recreation activities as possible, and the design of these has to be such that more obligatory activities can also have a recreative aspect. The very best standard of living is nothing if it is not possible to take a pleasant walk in the district, if the children cannot be allowed to play

54、 in the streets because the risks of traffic are too great, if during shopping you can nowhere find a spot of enjoying for a moment the nice weather, in short, if you only feel yourself at home after the street-door of your house is closed after you. 1.

The theoretical

56、separation of living, working, traffic and recreation has led to_.A.the disproportion of recreation facilities in the neighbourhoodB.the location of recreation facilities far from homeC.relatively little attention for recreative possibilitiesD.the improvement of recreative possibilities in the neighbourhood答案:B细节题。答案信息对应于第二段第一句：resulted infar from home，即作者认为城乡规划中将生活、工作、交通和休闲等在理论上分开导致休闲设施远离生活区。3. The author suggests that the recreative possibilities of greenspace should be provided_.A.in special areasB.in the suburbsC.in the neighbourh
