Industrialization promoted urbanization, and urbanization eventually gave birth to
suburbanization. This trend, which was repeated across America, nurtured the development of
the American car culture, the building of a national highway system, and a mushrooming of
suburbs around American cities, which rewove the fabric of American life. Many other
developed and developing countries followed the American model, with all its upsides and
downsides that run in, out, and around not only America’s major cities, but China’s, India’s,
and South America’s as well. And as these urban areas attract more people, the sprawl extends
in every direction. High density of urban population thus raises a red flag.
【題組】34. The metaphorical meaning of the word “mushrooming” is _______________.
(A) head-on clash (B) accelerating growth
(C) impending storm (D) catastrophic fall
