When George Osbome,Chancellor of the Exchequer,is spotted outside Westminster,he is very often making an appearance on a building site,wearing a fluorescent safety jacket.It was no surprise to hear him claim once again,in his budget speech on March 19th,that"We're getting Britain building".Sadly,given the huge exlenl of Britain's housing shortage,the chancellor's proposed interventions do not add up to much.The biggest announcement was that the government will extend Help to Buy,a scheme that guarantees mortgages for people purchasing newly built homes.Mr Osbome also hopes to build a new town at Ebbsfleet,a patch of post-industrial land in the Thames estuary,and promises to speed up the redevelopment of several rotting 1960s and 1970s social housing estates in London.By making it easier for house builders to shift their stock,Help to Buy has probably helped boost building slightly,especially in northern cities where construction had all but ceased.Extending the programme will boost Britain's housing stock by 120,000 by 2020,the Treasury cltums,though it will also expose taxpayers to any future house-price crash.Mr Osborne also announced a new fund to support lending io smaU house builders-who have sLruggled to get financing in recent years which ought to have a similar effect.The new town is more advencurous.Ebbsfleei.where a high-speed rail link to London opened in 2007,has had plans for new homes for almost 20 years.Few have been built,mosdy because the site is a partially flooded quarry with little in the way of shops.public transport or infrastructure.The government's new idea is to create a development corporation with control over planning and the ability to borrow to clean up and prepare the site.That was how post-war new towns such as Milton Keynes and Stevenage were built.A sinular interventionism is visible in the plan to rebuild 1960s estates.Many of these,such as the Aylesbury Estate in SouLhwark and Robin Hood Gardens in Tower Hamlets,are crummbling.By increasing the density on the sites,and using the proceeds of selling the extra houses built,it ought to be possible to cover the cost of reconstniclion.Bui counciLs have been short of money to do much themselves,and private developers extract high retums in exchange for putting up capital.With central-govemment money,those projects ought to move quicker and councils ought to get more for their land.
In retum for investing in estate reconstruction,private developers need_____

A.ample reward
B.new projects
C.quick return
D.more power
参考答案和解析
答案:A
解析:
细节题。根据题干关键词private developers定位到最后一段倒数第二行:private developers extract high returns in exchange for putting up capital.其中题干in return for“作为回报”=in exchange for“作为回报/交换”;investing“投资”=putting up capital“提供资金,投资”;private developers need“私营开发商需要”=private developers extract“私营开发商抽取”;故答案为extract之后的high relurn“高额回报”。[A]ample reward“丰厚回报”;该项等同于“高额回报”,故为答案。[B]new projects“新项目”;该项与答案毫无关系。[c]quick retum“快速回报”;该项属于偷换概念。[D]more power”更多权力”;该项属于无中生有。综上,本题答案为[A)。

第2题:

Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it when she said to father, "But, Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead."

Dad,in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run,had forgotten to wear his safety belt - a mistake 75% of the US population make every day.The big question is why.

There have been many myths about safety belts ever since their first appearance in cars forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.

Myth Number One:It's best to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident.

Truth:Sorry, but any accident serious enough to"throw you clear"is also going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And chances are you'll have travelled through a windshield(挡风玻璃)or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times greater in cases where people are "thrown clear".

Myth Number Two:Safety belts "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.

Truth:Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious(昏迷)due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situations, not to be trapped in them.

Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour(mph).

Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 meters.

A. may be knocked down by other cars

B. may get seriously hurt going thrown out of the car

4. Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe _____.

A. the belt prevents them from escaping in an accident

B. they will be unable to think clearly in an accident

C. they will be caught when help comes

D. cars catch fire easily

正确答案:C

    55.答案为C  此考题为推理题。根据作者所述,我们知道,如果学外语的首要目的不仅仅是为了交际,那么语言学习者在学语言过程中所犯的错误就不应当成为他们交际过程中首要担心的问题,但并不等于说这些错误是可以忽略的或不重要的,而是说学习者可以在交际过程中,通过观察,体会母语与外语的不同,逐渐减少错误,逐步学会正确使用外语。作者所举的西班牙人如何学会正确运用地道的英语来表达将来时的例子可以证明这一点,所以可以断定C正确。
