Flats were almost unknown in Britain until the 1850s when they were developed, along with

other industrial dwellings, for the labouring classes. These vast blocks were plainly a 【C1】______ means of 【C2】______ social conscience by housing large numbers of the ever-present poor on 【C3】______ city sites. During the 1880s, however, the idea of living in comfortable residential chambers caught on with the 【C4】______ upper and upper middle classes, and 【C5】______ as to the advantages and disadvantages of flat life was a topic of conversation 【C6】______ many a 【C7】______ dinner-table. In Paris and other major European cities, the custom whereby the better-off lived in apartments, or flats, was well【C8】______ . Up to the late nineteenth century in England only bachelor barristers had established the 【C9】______ of living in rooms near the Law Court: any self-respecting head of household would insist 【C10】 ______ a West End town house as his London home, the best that his 【C11】______ could provide.

The 【C12】______ of flats for the better-off seems to have developed for a number of reasons. First, perhaps, through the【C13】______ of the railways, which had enabled a wide 【C14】______ of people to enjoy a holiday staying in a suite at one of the luxury hotels which had begun to spring up during the previous decade.【C15】______ , no doubt the fact that many of the early luxury flats were similar 【C16】______ hotel suites, even being provided with【C17】______ dining-rooms and central boilers for hot water and heating.

第4题

Britain almost more than any other country in the world most seriously faces the problem o

f building upwards, that is to say, of accommodating a considerable proportion of its population in high blocks of flats. It is said that the English man objects to this type of existence, but if the case is such, he does in face 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 (然而), as easy facilities for disposal of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages in 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 (对，对抗) individual houses will continue to rage on for a long time as far 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 (设想) 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.

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．modem flats still fail to provide the necessary facilities for living

听力原文：W: Jack, have you and Anne decided when you're going to get married？

M: Next year, we hope, Mom, but we are not sure about it. It is not easy to find a house.

W: Have you made any inquiries yet？

M: Yes. It's almost impossible to find an unfurnished house to rent. There are lots of furnished flats, but the rents are very high.

W: How much does it cost to buy a plot of land and build a house？ Have you any idea？

M: I haven't a very definite idea. Between 30 and 40 thousand pounds at least. It's no use thinking about building a house.

W: And even if you had a house, there'd be the furniture, and all sorts of other things.

M: Yes, I know. Anne and 1 have been saving up. We've saved a few thousand pounds, and could buy furniture. But the house is still the problem.

W: What size of the house would you want, Jack？

M: Oh, quite a small one. A living room and a kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom.

W: Suppose your dad and I offer to help, Jack？

M: Oh, Mom! That would be wonderful! But do you mean it？ Are you serious？

W: I think we could offer you some money. It's time you and Anne were married. Your father married before your age. Talk about it to Anne and find out where Anne would like to live--in the suburbs, or right out in the country.

M: Anne will be de. lighted, I'm sure. And we both like to build our house in the country. Thank you, Mom! We shan't have to spend weeks and weeks hunting house now.

(27)

A．Because they can't find a suitable unfurnished house.

B．Because they have to wait till they find a house with furniture.

C．Because they haven't saved enough money to buy furniture.

D．Because they are thinking about buying a house in the suburbs.
