And Vauban residents(居民) dont mind one bit. Vauban doesnt ban cars entirely. Rather, it just tries to
33、 reduce the use of cars by creating “parking-free” and “car-free” living. In Vauban, parking spots are a no-no private property(私人财产). Cars can only be parked in public parking lots, so living without a car saves residents the cost of parking in the public lot. Cars also are prevented from using cer
34、tain roads and must stick to strict speed limits. With these limitations, fewer than 20 percent of residents own cars. Without cars, bikes are almost religion in this small town.

35、 Vauban , residents ride bikes and even receive money from the electric company for selling electricity back to the power grid (电网系统).

Commuting( 乘车上下班) p
41、atterns will have to change, public transportation will have to be invested in, and so on.

With these limitations, fewer than 20 percent of residents own cars. ”可知，在沃班，汽车禁止在某些道路上行驶，而且还有严格的速度限制，正是由于这些限制，只有不到
45、五分之一的居民拥有汽车，故 B 项正确。【22 题详解】词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“Do you think that bicycles were able to transport all the construction materials that were needed to build and maintain the eco-friendly homes and businesses in Vauban?

46、生活中的矛盾之一，有时为了摆脱对汽车的依赖，你必须在开始时依赖它，由此可知，画线词词义为“矛盾、对立物” ，故 A 项正确。【23 题详解】观点态度题。根据倒数第二段中的“but overall Im glad not to have to deal with the headaches of owning a car, which caused me to get rid of it in the first place.
