(4)Trang 4/4 - Mã đề thi 211 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 44 to 50
The idea of building “New Towns” to absorb growth is frequently considered a cure-all for urban problems It is erroneously assumed that if new residents can be diverted from existing centers, the present urban situation at least will get no worse It is further and equally erroneously assumed that since European New Towns have been financially and socially successful, we can expect the same sorts of results in the United States
Present planning, thinking, and legislation will not produce the kinds of New Town that have been successful abroad It will multiply suburbs or encourage developments in areas where land is cheap and construction profitable rather than where New Towns are genuinely needed Such ill-considered projects not only will fail to relieve pressures on existing cities but will, in fact, tend to weaken those cities further by drawing away high-income citizens and increasing the concentration of low-high-income groups that are unable to provide tax income The remaining taxpayers, accordingly, will face increasing burdens, and industry and commerce will seek escape Unfortunately, this mechanism is already at work in some metropolitan areas
The promoters of New Towns so far in the United States have been developers, builders, and financial institutions The main interest of these promoters is economic gain Furthermore, federal regulations designed to promote the New Town idea not consider social needs as the European New Town plans In fact, our regulations specify virtually all the ingredients of the typical suburban community, with a bit of political rhetoric thrown in
A workable American New Town formula should be established as firmly here as the national formula was in Britain All possible social and governmental innovations as well as financial factors should be thoroughly considered and accommodated in this policy Its objectives should be clearly stated, and both incentives and penalties should be provided to ensure that the objectives are pursued If such a policy is developed, then the New Town approach can play an important role in alleviating America’s urban problems
Câu 44: The passage is mainly about _
A Some necessary incentives and penalties for making New Town formula workable B The differences between Britain's New Town formula and other European countries’ C The purpose of building New Towns
D The origin of New Towns
Câu 45: The word “erroneously” in paragraph probably means
A precisely B accurately C incorrectly D simultaneously
Câu 46: The author believes that New Towns are not being built where they are genuinely needed because _
A the government offers developers incentives to build in other areas B the promoters of New Towns are motivated chiefly by self-interest C no studies have been done to determine the best locations
D few people want to live in areas where land is still cheap Câu 47: The word “that” in paragraph refers to _
A tax-payers B those cities C low-income groups D high-income citizens Câu 48: Which of the following statements about European New Towns is NOT true?
A The basic aim of building new towns is economic gain B They have been both financially and socially successful
C All social and governmental problems have been taken into account D They have relieved the pressure on big cities
Câu 49: According to the passage, as compared with American New Towns, European New Towns have been designed with greater concern for _
A financial factors B the environment C social needs D urban congestion
Câu 50: It can be inferred from the passage that the author considers the present American New Town formula to be _
A insufficiently innovative B financially sound
C potentially workable D thoroughly considered
