题目解答
答案
B
解析
本题考查二战后美国城市居民迁居郊区的原因，核心在于理解战后美国经济繁荣、汽车普及及社会价值观变化对居住选择的影响。关键点在于中产阶级的崛起和对更多居住空间的追求，而非城市本身的负面因素。
选项分析
A. Because older American cities were dying
错误。城市衰败是郊区化的结果，而非原因。战后郊区发展导致城市人口流失，但城市“死亡”并非居民迁居的直接动机。
B. Because they were richer and needed more space
正确。战后经济繁荣使家庭收入增加，汽车普及使远距离通勤成为可能，中产阶级追求更 spacious 的郊区住房，体现“更富裕”和“需要空间”双重因素。
C. Because cities contained the worst parts of society
错误。此选项暗示对城市社会环境的排斥，但战后郊区化主要由经济和空间需求驱动，而非对城市社会问题的主动规避。
D. Because they could hardly afford to live in the city
错误。战后城市住房价格虽上涨，但政府通过 FHA 贷款等政策支持郊区购房，且经济繁荣使更多人有能力承担郊区生活。
