六．阅读理解 (250个字，4分钟完成, 每题2分，共10分)

In the past, cities usually grew in a helter-skelter (忙乱的，混乱的) way because few cities were built according to a plan . In the late 1800s, the idea of a “ city beautiful” came into being. People felt that a city should have wide streets, parks, and a civic center. People came to realize that cities need to be planned.

In the first part of the 1900s, cities began to pass zoning laws. Zoning laws say what kind of buildings can be put up on land zoned for apartments. Apartments, however , cannot be built on land zoned for houses.

Meanwhile, cities were growing rapidly and changing almost overnight. They faced many problems. Sometimes the streets in a city caused traffic jams. Sometimes there were not enough school or hospitals for all the people who needed them. As people moved out to new areas of the city, older parts of town often became run-down.（ 破旧不堪的）

At first, citizens formed groups that tried to solve the problems a city faced. Today, most large cities have city planning boards（城市规划局） as part of their city government. On the board are city planners who have special training. Many of them have college degrees in city planning. They must know how a city’s land can best be used. They lay out new areas of the city and decide how to improve older sections. City planning boards help the city meet the needs of all the people who live there.

A. all cities are well planned. B. all cities are helter-skelter.

B. only in certain places

C. city government D. how to train city planners

4. Why do cities need to be planned ?

A. So they will grow helter-skelter.

B. So they will become run-down.

C. So they will meet people’s needs

D. So they can attract more visitors.

5. Which statement does the story lead you to believe?

B. Only the local people in the city can become the city planners.

C. People on city planning boards have not been to college.
