Pedestrian Mobility Declines
文章围绕城市街道因汽车交通主导而发生变化展开，指出行人（尤其是儿童）流动性下降，介绍过去人们为阻止社区因道路建设被破坏发起的运动，说明这些运动未改变多数西方城市围绕汽车需求重新设计的现状，呼吁重新思考街道设计，关注儿童在社区安全出行等问题，探讨汽车交通影响下人们出行模式等 “匆忙赶路” 相关的城市生活现状与问题 。
While safety improvements might have been made to our streets in recent years, transport studies also show declines in pedestrian (行人) mobility, especially among young children. Many parents say there's too much traffic on the roads for their children to walk safely to school, so they pack them into the car instead.
Dutch authors Thalia Verbeke and Marco te Br mmelstroet are bothered by facts like these. In their new book Movement: How to Take Back Our Streets and Transform Our Lives, they call for a rethink of our streets and the role they play in our lives.
Life on city streets started to change decades ago. Whole neighbourhoods were destroyed to make way for new road networks and kids had to play elsewhere. Some communities fought back. Most famously, a Canadian journalist who had moved her family to Manhattan in the early 1950s led a campaign to stop the destruction of her local park. Describing her alarm at its proposed replacement with an expressway, Jane Jacobs called on her mayor (市长) to champion "New York as a decent place to live, and not just rush through." Similar campaigns occurred in Australia in the late 1960s and 1970s as well.
Although these campaigns were widespread, the reality is that the majority of the western cities were completely redesigned around the needs of the motor car. The number of cars on roads has been increasing rapidly. In Australia we now have over twenty million cars for just over twenty - six million people, among the highest rate of car ownership in the world.
We invest a lot in roads that help us rush through, but we fail to account for the true costs. Do we really recognise what it costs us as a society when children can't move safely around our communities The authors of Movement have it right: it's time to think differently about that street outside your front door.

答案解析
28. 答案C。
解析：第一段提到交通研究显示行人流动性下降，尤其是小孩，很多家长因路上交通多，不让孩子步行上学而是开车送，体现出人们步行少、开车多的现象，C 符合。A “汽车常堵车”、B “交通事故频发”、D “行人不遵守规则” 第一段未提及。
答案A。

答案：A
解析：文章围绕街道设计、行人出行因汽车交通受影响等展开，探讨人们为何要 rush（匆忙赶路，这里体现汽车主导交通下人们出行模式等问题 ），A“为何匆忙？” 契合文意。B“接下来是什么？”、C“住在哪里？”、D“该怪谁？” 均不能概括主旨。

答案解析
1.答案：C. 解析：代词 “these” 在第二段中承接上文，第一段提到 “家长因交通问题选择开车送孩子上学，而非步行”，这属于 “儿童出行方式的变化”（children's transportation mode）。
干扰项分析：
A（街道安全改善）是现象的背景，而非 “these” 直接指代的内容；
B（涉及儿童的交通事故）文中未提及；
D（街道改造的努力）出现在后文，与 “these” 的指代无关。
2.答案：B. 解析：文中提到加拿大记者发起运动阻止公园被高速公路取代，属于 “社区反抗以道路为中心的城市改造” 的具体案例，对应 B 选项。
干扰项分析：
A（赞扬她保护公园）属于细节描述，而非举例的核心目的；
C（证明修建高速公路的必要性）与原文立场相反；
D（介绍一位著名活动家）偏离作者通过案例论证 “抗争运动” 的意图。
3.答案：D. 解析：文章从现象（行人流动性下降）、书籍观点（《Movement》呼吁反思街道角色）、历史变迁（道路扩张破坏社区）到现状反思，始终围绕 “重新思考街道设计” 展开，对应 D 选项。
干扰项分析：
A（介绍一本关于城市生活的新书）是文章部分内容，而非核心目的；
B（分析交通拥堵原因）文中未涉及；
C（比较不同城市发展模式）并非文章重点。
4.答案：C. 解析：最后一句 “作者呼吁重新思考门前街道的设计意义”，隐含 “街道功能不应仅服务于机动车，而应回归宜居性”，对应 C 选项（改变对街道功能的认知）。
干扰项分析：
A（关注门前街道）停留在表面理解，未触及 “功能重构” 的深层含义；
B（儿童安全与街道设计相关）是文中事实，而非句子隐含的呼吁；
D（街道需要维修）与原文无关。

参考范文
In recent years, city streets have undergone significant changes. However, as discussed in the article Movement, current street design poses several challenges. Primarily, streets are predominantly designed for motor vehicles, causing a decline in pedestrian mobility. Many children are no longer able to walk to school safely, forcing parents to drive them instead.
These issues have far - reaching impacts. Reduced pedestrian safety not only restricts people’s freedom to move but also weakens community connections as fewer people engage in casual outdoor interactions. Moreover, the over - reliance on cars contributes to traffic congestion and environmental pollution.
To address these problems, I propose two solutions. First, cities should allocate more space to sidewalks and bike lanes, creating safer routes for non - motorized travel. Second, local governments could organize community events on streets, encouraging residents to reclaim them as public spaces for socializing and recreation. Only by rethinking street design can we build more livable cities.
