题目解答
答案
这是一道段落排序题,我们需要根据句子之间的逻辑关系,将三个段落排列成一个连贯的语篇。
第一步:分析各段落的核心内容
- ①句:“Of course, expanding roads can ease traffic in the short term. However, history shows that new roads quickly fill up with new drivers, canceling out the benefits.”(当然,扩建道路可以在短期内缓解交通。然而,历史表明,新道路很快会被新司机填满,抵消了这些好处。)
- 这句话是对“扩建道路”这一措施的具体评价,指出了其短期有效但长期无效的规律。
- ②句:“Many cities still treat congestion as a problem of capacity. Their main response is to build more roads and widen existing ones.”(许多城市仍然将拥堵视为容量问题。他们的主要应对措施是修建更多道路和拓宽现有道路。)
- 这句话提出了一个普遍现象和背景:城市应对拥堵的常规做法是“扩建道路”。
- ③句:“Take Los Angeles as an example. Despite decades of freeway expansion, it remains one of the most congested cities in the United States.”(以洛杉矶为例。尽管经历了数十年的高速公路扩建,它仍然是美国交通最拥堵的城市之一。)
- 这句话是一个具体的例子,用来佐证某个观点。
第二步:确定首句
- ②句是背景引入,提出了“扩建道路”这一话题,非常适合作为段落的开头。
- ①句以“Of course(当然)”开头,是对前面提到的某种做法的进一步探讨,不适合放在最前面。
- ③句以“Take... as an example(以……为例)”开头,明显是举例,不能放在段首。
因此,首句应该是 ②句。
第三步:确定后续衔接
- ②句提出了城市通过“修建更多道路和拓宽现有道路”来应对拥堵。
- 接下来,我们需要对这种做法进行评价或深入分析。①句紧接着讨论了扩建道路的短期和长期效果,指出长期来看新道路会被新司机填满,好处被抵消。这与②句紧密相连,形成了“提出做法 → 分析利弊(转折)”的逻辑。
- ③句是举例,用来具体证明前面的结论。在①句得出“扩建道路长期来看会抵消好处(即无法真正解决拥堵)”的结论后,③句用洛杉矶“尽管扩建了高速公路,依然拥堵”的实例,完美印证了①句的观点。
第四步:得出最终顺序
逻辑顺序为:
- ② 提出城市应对拥堵的做法(建路、拓宽路)。
- ① 分析这种做法的实际效果(短期有效,长期无效)。
- ③ 以洛杉矶为例,证明长期无效(依然拥堵)。
即顺序为 ② → ① → ③。
结论
对比选项,正确答案是 C. ②①③。
