题目分析:
该题目提出大城市交通堵塞和居住紧张问题,建议解决方案是把大公司和员工转移到郊区。根据我们的生活经验和知识,造成上述问题原因可能有很多,文中并没有提供任何证据说明大公司和其员工是造成问题的主要原因。考生可以提出一些其他原因证明这个解决方案可能不会奏效。这些原因可以是:交通设施落后old transport infrastructure、交通管理水平低下poor traffic control、城市人口增长过快 fast population growth、住房供应不足 inadequate housing supply等。如果考生不深入思考这个题目可能会提出类似以下错误论点:
The city, large corporate, and factories could suffer substantial financial loss because business operation is usually more difficult in faraway location than in the city.
