This is the idea behind the 15-minute city. Here, people can get all the services they need within 15 minutes from home. This social model is being developed in cities around the world, from Paris to Moscow. It could make people healthier and build stronger relationships with neighbors. Carlos Moreno is a strong supporter of the 15-minute city. He was encouraged by the need to fight against climate (气候) change. In a 15-minute city car travel is not the best choice. People should build more foot roads and bike roads. Walking or biking across the city is of great use in cutting down CO2 emissions (排放). Anne Hidalgo plans to develop 15-minute communities throughout France. That means the number of parking space will be reduced to 60000 by 2024 and more bike roads will be created on every street of the city. This type of design does more than good to the planet. Joe Zehnder is the planner of the city Moscow. He is developing”15-minute neighborhoods”. Having stores close to homes makes people able to eat healthier food and live a better life, “ Zehnder says. Syra Madad is also a key person behind the 15-minute-city plan. He wants to make these places inclusive (包容的). As a neighborhood becomes more convenient, housing costs may increase. Madad suggests trying creating more kinds of houses, so that people of different groups can have a chance to live there. 21. What’s the best way to go outside in a 15-minute city? A. By bus. B. By car. C. By taxi. D. On foot. 22. What does the underlined word “reduced” mean? A. Cut down B. Put on C. Cut off D. Put up 23. How can we make people of different groups have a chance to live in the 15-minute city? A. By opening more stores close to homes. B. By building more neighborhoods. C. By increasing the housing costs. D. By creating more kinds of houses. 24. What’s the structure (结构) of this passage? A. B. C. D. 25. What is the best title for this passage? A. The Opinions of the 15-minute City B. The Reason Why People Like the 15-minute City C. The Time of Building a 15-minute City D. The Way People Build the 15-minute City 【答案】21. D 22. A 23. D 24. C 25. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了“15分钟社区”的理念，详细地介绍了它的好处。 【21题详解】 细节理解题。根据“People should build more foot roads and bike roads.”以及结合选项可知，在一个15分钟的社区出行最好的方式是步行。故选D。 【22题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“That means the number of parking space will be reduced to 60000 by 2024 and more bike roads will be created on every street of the city.”（这意味着到2024年，停车位数量将减少到60000个，城市的每条街道都将修建更多的自行车道）可知，reduce表示“减少”。故选A。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Madad suggests trying creating more kinds of houses, so that people of different groups can have a chance to live there.”可知，通过建造更多种类的房子可以让不同群体的人有机会生活在15分钟社区。故选D。 【24题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，本文第一段总体介绍了“15分钟社区”的理念，第二、三、四、五段从各个方面具体介绍了15分钟社区的优势。故选项C符合题意。故选C。 【25题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，本文介绍了“15分钟社区”的理念，详细地介绍了它的好处。因此选项A“15分钟社区的观点”适合作为本文的标题。故选A。 C There are 24 solar terms (节气) in China.

Detroit Public Radio One way you can help Detroit Public Radio is by volunteering your time during one of the station’s fundraising (筹款的) events, such as WDET’s Pledge Drive.

People should build more foot roads and bike roads. Walking or biking across the city is of great use in cutting down CO2 emissions (排放). Anne Hidalgo plans to develop 15-minute communities throughout France. That means the number of parking space will be reduced to 60000 by 2024 and more bike roads will be created on every street of the city. This type of design does more than good to the planet. Joe Zehnder is the planner of the city Moscow. He is developing”15-minute neighborhoods”. Having stores close to homes makes people able to eat healthier food and live a better life, “ Zehnder says.

The Opinions of the 15-minute City B. The Reason Why People Like the 15-minute City C. The Time of Building a 15-minute City D. The Way People Build the 15-minute City C There are 24 solar terms (节气) in China. Two of them have to do with rain, Rain Water and Grain Rain. Rain Water this year is on Feb 19th.
