【阅读理解①】

Hilversum is a medium-sized city between the major cities of Amsterdam and Utrecht in the

Gooi area of North Holland, the Netherlands. Unlike most of the Netherlands, Hilversum is

actually in a hilly area with the soil mostly consisting of sand. Once called the Garden of

Amsterdam, it still attracts travelers to come over to cycle and walk through the surrounding

forests. They visit it for a relaxing day off from the urban madness. For Dutch people,Hilversum is

all about textile(纺织)and media industries, and modern architecture.

In history, Hilversum was largely an agricultural area. Daily life was marked by farming,

sheep raising and wool production. A railway link to Amsterdam in 1874 attracted rich traders

from Amsterdam to Hilversum. They built themselves large villas( 别墅 )in the wooded

surroundings of the town. One of the families moving in was the Brenninkmeijers, currently the

wealthiest family of the Netherlands.They moved in after big success in the textile industry and

aided a substantial textile industry in Hilversum.But the textile boom lasted only several decades.

The last factory closed in the 1960s.

The change to a media economy started in 1920, when the Nederlandse Seintoestellen

Fabriek (NSF)established a radio factory in Hilversum. Most radio stations settled in the large

villas in the leafy areas of the town. Television gave another push to the local economy.

Hilversum became the media capital of the Netherlands, and Dutch television stars moved into

the leafy neighborhoods surrounding the town.

In the early 1900s, modern architects W.M.Dudok and J.Duiker placed hundreds of

remarkable buildings in Hilversum. These modern architectural masterpieces( 杰作)are so many

that Hilversum almost feels like an open air museum. Dudok alone shaped most of 20th century

Hilversum and approximately 75 buildings still bear his unique characteristics. His masterpiece,

Hilversum Town Hall,was built in 1928-1931. It has wide international fame and is included in

many architecture textbooks. The building has a remarkable shape and looks like a combination

of“blocks”.Actually, one may start his journey of modern architecture by walking or biking the

W.M.Dudok Architectural Route in Hilversum.

For most city people, the elevator is an unremarkable machine that inspires none of the

enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford trains, jets, and even bicycles. Dr.Christopher Wilk is

a member of a small group of elevator experts who consider this a misunderstanding. Without the

elevator, they point out, there could be no downtown skyscrapers or tall buildings, and city life as

we know it would be impossible. In that sense, they argue, the elevator’s role in American history

has been no less significant than that of cars. In fact, according to Wilk, the car and the elevator

have been locked in a“secret war”for over a century, with cars making it possible for people to

spread horizontally(水平地),and elevators pushing them toward life in close groups of towering

vertical(垂直的)columns.

If we tend to ignore the significance of elevators, it might be because riding in them tends to

be such a brief, boring, and even awkward experience—one that can involve unexpectedly

meeting people with whom we have nothing in common, and an unpleasant awareness of the fact

that we’re hanging from a cable in a long passage.

In a new book, Lifted, German journalist and cultural studies professor Andreas Bernard

directed all his attention to this experience, studying the origins of elevator and its relationship to

humankind and finding that riding in an elevator has never been a totally comfortable

experience.“After 150 years, we are still not used to it,”Bernard said.“We still have not exactly

learned to cope with the mixture of closeness and displeasure.”That mixture, according to

Bernard, sets the elevator ride apart from just about every other situation we find ourselves in as

we go about our lives.

Today, as the world’s urban population explodes, and cities become more crowded, taller, and

more crowded, America’s total number of elevators—900,000 at last count, according toElevator

Worldmagazine’s“2012 Vertical Transportation Industry”—are a force that’s becoming more

important than ever.And for the people who really, really love them, it seems like high time that

we looked seriously at just what kind of force they are.

67. What does the underlined word“this”in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A. The general view of elevators.

B. The particular interests of experts.

C. The desire for a remarkable machine.

D. The enthusiasm for transport vehicles.

68. The author’s purpose in mentioning cars is　　　.

A. to contrast their functions with elevators’

B. to emphasize the importance of elevators

C. to reveal their secret war against elevators

D. to explain people’s preference for elevators

69. According to Prof.Bernard, what has made the elevator ride different from other life
