3 . 阅读下面短文, 在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Higher density (密度) neighborhoods can lead to benefits for the environment and public health, argues Dr. Tom Logan,     1    University of Canterbury lecturer.

Dr. Logan says the government should be aiming     2     (achieve) the “15-minute city” goal. This involves creating neighborhoods where residents can get to shops, restaurants, recreation areas and services within a 15-minute walk, bike ride,     3     by travelling on public transport. When more people can bike, walk or take public transport to their destinations,     4    (pollute) from cars is reduced and there are benefits for people’s physical and mental health.

Accessible cities are also safer and more     5    (attract) because there are more people around, Dr. Logan says. Residents are more likely to go out with friends when restaurants and bars are closer to where they live,     6    (bring) economic benefits for businesses.

However, Dr. Logan says many people are opposed to higher density housing.

“Density, when it’s done right,     7    we see in parts of Europe, the United States and Asia, is where it can lead to safer and     8    (healthy) residents and neighborhoods that     9    (be) full of life. ”

“Creating that is one of our big     10    (challenge). Not everyone has to live in this way but it’s about giving people the option, so they can live somewhere where they don’t have to drive all the time.”

4 . Four famous British film locations

American and Canadian visitors to Britain are usually never quite as interested in film sites as British tourism folks seem to expect. For classic film lovers, however, Britain hardly lacks memorable film locations. Here is a great selection of recognizable locations from some of our favorite films.

Castle Howard, Yorkshire

Brideshead Revisited put Castle Howard on the map. The Yorkshire estate is a wonderful visit, virtually unchanged since the filming of Evelyn Waugh’s classic there in 1980. You can easily see Charles Ryder and Sebastian Flyte rowing on the lake. It’s an easy drive, or bus ride, east from York.

Cambridge, Cambridgeshire

There are many scenes from Cambridge recognizable from the Academy Award-winning Chariots of Fire. Perhaps none are as memorable as the race Harold Abrahams and Lord Lynley run against the clock around Trinity College Great Court. Visit Gonville& Caius College and King’s College Chapel as well.

Dorchester, Dorset

So much of the surrounding countryside is recognizable as “Thomas Hardy country”. Dorchester itself, though, is Casterbridge played out in The Mayor of Casterbridge, Tess of the D’Urbervilles, and Far from the Madding Crowd. You almost expect to see Alan Bates or Julie Christie walking along Corn Street.

Castle Combe, Wiltshire

Long termed “the prettiest village in England”, Castle Combe just might be. The southern Cotswold village near Chippenham has been a film setmany times, perhaps most famously with Rex Harrison in Doctor Doolittle (1967).
