阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A

As the name suggests, a 15-minute city is an urban planning model where everything we need in our daily life can be accessed within a 15-minute walk or bike ride. The following are some examples of 15-minute cities.

Melbourne, Australia

Melbourne, Australia’s fastest-growing city, is working to ensure it continues to meet the needs of its communities and futureproof its services and facilities.

This won’t be without its challenges. Melbourne is one of the largest cities by land area in the world, and one that has already well-established city facilities that will need to be improved and updated.

Shanghai, China

It’s not just in the West and Australia that the governments and cities have committed to the fifteen-minute model. Shanghai became the first Chinese city to adopt this urban planning approach, in an attempt to fight its fast growth. By 2035, the city plans to have 99% of public service facilities accessible within 15 minutes’ walking distance, and 90% of green space accessible within five minutes.

Milan, Italy

Milan is often regarded as the model for how to put this planning model into practice, alongside Paris and Barcelona. According to research by Nature Cities, a “universal framework for 15-minute cities”, residents can expect a journey of less than 10 minutes to access their needs in the majority of the city.

Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona is viewed by many as the model for a 15-minute city. Work is already underway to improve its walkways and cycle lanes, and digital twins — digital replicas (复制) of systems and environments — are being used to help simulate how planning and structure changes will impact the city.

1. What challenge does Melbourne face when building a 15-minute city?

A. Limiting its city population. B. Updating its city facilities.

C. Locating itself on water area. D. Rebuilding a sense of community.

2. Why does Shanghai commit to the 15-minute model?

A. To increase its green space. B. To encourage citizens to do walking.

C. To try to cope with its rapid spreading. D. To compete with other international cities.

3. What do Milan and Barcelona have in common in building a 15-minute city?

A. They value environmental protection. B. They set good examples for other cities.

C. More advanced walkways are being built. D. Residents can explore them in 10 minutes.

B

For many, Olympic success is defined by gold, silver, and bronze. But author Doug Levy challenges that idea in his new book, Hero Redefined: Profiles of Olympic Athletes Under the Radar.
