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 37 to 43
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

A Some necessary incentives and penalties for making New Town formula workable B The origin of New Towns

A few people want to live in areas where land is still cheap B no studies have been done to determine the best locations

A low-income groups B tax-payers C high-income citizens D those cities Câu 41: Which of the following statements about European New Towns is NOT true?
