Passage 15
Britain
almost
more
than
any
other
country
in
the
world
must
seriously
face
the
problem
of
building
upwards,
that
is
to
say
of
accommodation
a
considerable
proportion
of
its
population
in
high
blocks
of
flats.
It
is
said
that
the
Englishman
objects to
this type of existence, but if the case is such,
he does in fact differ from the
inhabitants of most countries of the
world today. In the past our own blocks of flats
have been associated with the lower-
income groups and they have lacked the obvious
provisions,
such
as
central
heating,
constant
hot
water
supply,
electrically
operated
lifts from top to bottom, and so on, as
well as such details, important notwithstanding,
as easy facilities for disposal of dust
and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages
on the ground floor, playgrounds for
children on the top of the buildings, and drying
grounds
for
washing.
It
is
likely
that
the
dispute
regarding
flats
versus
individual
houses will continue to rage on for a
long time as for as Britain is concerned. And it
is
unfortunate that there should
be hot
feelings on
both
sides whenever this subject
is
raised.
Those
who
oppose
the
building
of
flats
base
their
case
primarily
on
the
assumption that everyone prefers an
individual home and garden and on the high cost
per
unit
of
accommodation.
The
latter
ignores
the
higher
cost
of
providing
full
services to a scattered community and
the cost in both money and time of the journeys
to work for the suburban resident.
71. We can infer from the passage
that________
A) English people, like
most people in other countries, dislike living in
flats
B) People in most countries of
the world today are not opposed to living in flats
C) People in Britain are forced to move
into high blocks of flats
D) Modern
flats still fail to provide the necessary
facilities for living
72. What is said
about the blocks of flats built in the past in
Britain ?
A) They were mostly inhabited
by people who did not earn much.
B)
They were usually not large enough to accommodate
big families.
C) They were sold to
people before necessary facilities were installed.
D) They provided playground for
children on the top of the buildings
73. The word
“
rage
”
(Line 10) means
“
______
”
A) be ignored B) develop with great
force
C) encourage people greatly D) be
in fashion
74. Some people oppose the
building of flats because________
A)
the living expenses for each individual family are
higher
B) it involves higher cost
compared with the building of houses
C)
they believe people like to live in houses with
gardens
D) the disposal of rubbish
remains a problem for those living in flats
author mentions that people who live
in suburban houses________
A) do not
have access to easy facilities because they live
away from the city
B) have to pay a lot
of money to employ people to do service work
C) take longer time to know each other
because they are a scattered community

D) have to spend move money and time
traveling to work every day.
Passage 15
英国几乎比世界上任何其他国家都更应
该严肃的面对高层建筑问题，也就是说，
在高层公寓内容纳相当大的一部分人口的问题。
（７１）据说英国人反对这种建
筑的存在，
但如果真是这 样，
英国人的确与当今世界上的大多灵敏国家的居民不
同。
（７２）过去，我们的多层公寓一直是与低收入人群联系起来的，它们缺乏
必要的供应
，例如中央供暖，不断的热水供应，从顶层到底层的电梯等等，以及
诸如此类的细微之处
，
而最令人难以忍受的是处理灰尘和垃圾的方便设施与存放
婴儿车的地方
在一楼，
孩子们玩耍的运动场在顶楼，
烘干层是用来洗衣服的。
（ ７
３）
就英国来说，
关于公寓与个人单独的房屋之间的争 议很有可能继续激烈地进
行下去，持续很长时间。不幸的是，不论何时只要提到这个问题
，双方都会激动
起来。
（７４）那些反对公寓建筑的人主要是基于这样一 种设想，即所有的人都
喜欢有一个自己独立的房间与花园以及公寓住房每个铺位昂贵的花
销。
而后面这
个原因忽略了为一个分散的社区提供一切服务所需要的较高
费用以及
（７５）
从
郊区的住所去上班所花的时间与金钱
。
