The bowlers wore clothes from 1900, are only food available in English at that time, and cooked their meals on a single stove. Paul bowler still went to work every day in a then uniform. The children changed their clothes on the way to and from school and their classmates didn’t know about then unusural home life. Joyce stayed at home, cooking and cleaning like a typical housewife of the time, though everything took three times as long.So does Joyce think that people’s lives were better in the old days?“I think people in the old days had just ad many troubles and worries,” Joyce said.And I don’t think their life was better or worse, there were lots of things back then thatI’m happy I don’t have to deal with nowadays, but on the other hand life was simpler.” “We had a lot more time with our family, and it was hard being nice to each other all the time,” eleven-year-old Hilary said.So what did the Bowler family miss most about modern life while living in the 1900 house?Paul,39:” telephone and a hot shower”Joyce,44:” a quick cup of tea from a kettle you could just turn on”Hilary,11:” rock CD”Joseph,9:” hamburger and computer games”54.While the Bowler family was living in 1900 house,_____.A the mother spent more time on houseworkB the two children wore the then clothes for schoolC they prepared their meals together on a stoveD they ate simple foods they had never seen

  • 第4题:

    Text 4 Against a backdrop of drastic changes in economy and population structure,younger Americans are drawing a new 21st-century road map to success,a latest poll has found.Across generational lines,Americans continue to prize many of the same traditional milestones of a successful life,including getting married,having children,owning a home,and retiring in their sixties.But while young and old mostly agree on what constitutes the finish line of a fulfilling life,they offer strikingly different paths for reaching it.Young people who are still getting started in life were more likely than older adults to prioritize personal fulfillment in their work,to believe they will advance their careers most by regularly changing jobs,to favor communities with more public services and a faster pace of life,to agree that couples should be financially secure before getting married or having children,and to maintain that children are best served by two parents working outside the home,the survey found.From career to community and family,these contrasts suggest that in the aftermath of the searing Great Recession,those just starting out in life are defining priorities and expectations that will increasingly spread through virtually all aspects of American life,from consumer preferences to housing patterns to politics.Young and old converge on one key point:Overwhelming majorities of both groups said they believe it is harder for young people today to get started in life than it was for earlier generations.While younger people are somewhat more optimistic than their elders about the prospects for those starting out today,big majorities in both groups believe those“just getting started in life”face a tougher a good-paying job,starting a family,managing debt,and finding affordable housing.Pete Schneider considers the climb tougher today.Schneider,a 27-yaear-old auto technician from the Chicago suburbs says he struggled to find a job after graduating from college.Even now that he is working steadily,he said.”I can’t afford to pay ma monthly mortgage payments on my own,so I have to rent rooms out to people to mark that happen.”Looking back,he is struck that his parents could provide a comfortable life for their children even though neither had completed college when he was young.“I still grew up in an upper middle-class home with parents who didn’t have college degrees,”Schneider said.“I don’t think people are capable of that anymore.”
    Both young and old agree that_____

    A.good-paying jobs are less available
    B.the old made more life achievements
    C.housing loans today are easy to obtain
    D.getting established is harder for the young

    答案:D
    解析:
    根据题干关键词Both young and old agree可以定位到第五段第一句,该定位句指出年轻人和年长者两辈人对于一点是有共识的,即与前辈相比,年轻人在社会上起步变得更为艰难了,get started in life与getting established意义相近,由此可知,正确答案为D。

    Text 4 When the government talks about infrastructure contributing to the economy the focus is usually on roads,railways,broadband and energy.Housing is seldom mentioned.Why is that?To some extent the housing sector must shoulder the blame.We have not been good at communicating the real value that housing can contribute to economic growth.Then there is the scale of the typical housing project.It is hard to shove for attention among multibillionpound infrastructure project,so it is inevitable that the attention is focused elsewhere.But perhaps the most significant reason is that the issue has always been so politically charged.Nevertheless,the affordable housing situation is desperate.Waiting lists increase all the time and we are simply not building enough new homes.The comprehensive spending review offers an opportunity for the government to help rectify this.It needs to put historical prejudices to one side and take some steps to address our urgent housing need.There are some indications that it is preparing to do just that.The communities minister,Don Foster,has hinted that George Osborne,Chancellor of the Exchequer,may introduce more flexibility to the current cap on the amount that local authorities can borrow against their housing stock debt.Evidence shows that 60,000 extra new homes could be built over the next five years if the cap were lifted,increasing GDP by 0.6%.Ministers should also look at creating greater certainty in the rental environment,which would have a significant impact on the ability of registered providers to fund new developments from revenues.But it is not just down to the government.While these measures would be welcome in the short term,we must face up to the fact that the existing£4.5bn programme of grants to fund new affordable housing,set to expire in 2015,is unlikely to be extended beyond then.The Labour party has recently announced that it will retain a large part of the coalition's spending plans if returns to power.The housing sector needs to accept that we are very unlikely to ever return to era of largescale public grants.We need to adjust to this changing climate.While the government’s commitment to long-term funding may have changed,the very pressing need for more affordable housing is real and is not going away.
    The author believes that after 2015,the government may____

    A.implement more policies to support housing
    B.review the need for largescale public grants
    C.renew the affordable housing grants programme
    D.stop generous funding to the housing sector

    答案:D

    答案:A
    解析:
    细节题【命题思路】这是一道细节题,需要考生理解文中引用的人物观点。【直击答案】根据题干中的人名可以回文定位到第五段第二句话。这句话指出乔治?奥斯本将会让当地政府用来偿还建房借贷的限额变得更加宽松,并且在借贷限额放宽的情况下,将会另有六万套新房在未来的五年中建造。因而A项“允许更多的政府建房借贷”是正确选项,其中“greater government debt”是原文中“more flexibility to the current cap”的同义替换。【干扰排除】第五段最后一句话指出未来的五年政府将会建造六万套新房,B项的意思是阻止当地政府建房,这与原文信息正好相反,故排除。C项,减少住房贷款也与原文信息相反,故排除。文中提到随着建房借贷限额的提高,GDP也会随之增长,并未提到乔治会发布对GDP增长的预测,因而D项属于无中生有,故排除。

    A Letter from Alan
    I have learnt of a plan to build three hundred houses on the land called Parson's Place by the football ground .Few people know about this new plan to increase the size of our town.For me,
    Parson's Place is special because it is a beautiful natural area where local people can relax-the small wood has many unusual trees and the stream is popular with fishermen and bird-watchers'
    It's very quiet because there are few houses or roads nearby.I think that losing this area will be terrible because we have no other similar facilities in the neighbourhood.
    I am also against this plan because it will cause traffic problems.How will the people from the new houses travel to work?The motorway and the railway station are on the other side of town.
    Therefore,these people will have to drive through the town centre every time they go anywhere.
    The roads will always be full of traffic,there will be nowhere to park and the tourists who come to see our lovely old buildings will leave .Shops and hotels will lose business.If the town really needs more homes,the empty ground beside the railway station is a more suitable place.
    No doubt the builders will make a lot of money by selling these houses.But,in my opinion, the average person will quickly be made poorer by this plan.As well as this,we will lose a very special place and our town will be much less pleasant.
    I am going to the local government offices on Monday morning to protest about this plan and I hope that your readers will join me there.We must make them stop this plan before it is too late.

  • 第15题:

    根据下列内容,回答211-215题。
    A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy.Very few people have enough money of their own to buy a house,so they have to borrow money from a bank.Borrowing moneyfrom a bank to buy a house is called“take a mortgage”.The bank usually lends money or gives a me.gage for twenty—five years.Houses are so expensive that many people nowadays have to borrow as much as$50,000.In other words,they will have a$50,000 mortgage.
    How can you get a mortgage? When you find a house you like.you go to a bank.The bank will research you financial history and decide if they think you are a good risk.They will want to know what kind of job you have,what kind of salary you make and how long you have had the job.
    They will a]so want to know how much money you have.In addition.the banks will require a down payment.Depending Oil which state you live in,the bank may require as much as 30%of the price of the house as a down payment.The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to buy the house.Many people are never able to buy a house because they can not save enough money for the
    down payment.
    What does a house mean in the United States.? __________

    A.It is a dream which many people can hardly realize
    B.It is so expensive that many people can not really buy them
    C.It is the most important property that many people try to buy
    D.It doesn’t belong to people if they can not borrow morley from the bank

    答案:C
    解析:
    从第一句“A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy”可知,房子是人们所要购置的最重要的财产。故C项正确。A、B项都提到买房子的不可能性,与文章中的抵押贷款从而购房相悖。D项过于绝对化,并不是所有的人都必须通过银行贷款才买得起房子。

    A.increased its home supply

    C.suffered government biases
    D.disappointed the government

    答案:C
    解析:
    推理题【命题思路】这是一道封闭式推理题。考生需要在对第三段和第四段的信息理解的基础之上进行推理。【直击答案】根据题干可以定位到第三段第一句话,经济适用房的情况不容乐观。第四段接着提到政府的综合支出审查是改善这一情况的一次机会,但政府需要将历史偏见先放到一边。这说明经济适用房曾遇到过偏见,这正是C项所表达的含义。从同义替换的角度来看,“suffered”是过去式,是对于原文“historical”的同义替换,“biases”是对原文“prejudices”的同义替换。【干扰排除】A项与原文信息相反,第三段第二句指出对经济适用房的需求量一直增加(waiting lists increase),而非供应量(supply)增加。第四段说综合支出审查给改善经济适用房的情况提供了机会,而B项是指经济适用房给政府支出提供了机会,这属于信息混淆,故排除。D项“经济适用房让政府很失望”在文中并未提及,属于无中生有,故排除。

    推理题【命题思路】这是一道封闭式推理题。考生只要对第六段一句话的内容做出正确的理解即可得出答案。【直击答案】根据题干回文定位到第六段。第六段的这句话指出,租赁环境的稳定性对注册供应商用税收投资新发展项目的能力有很重要的影响。这与C项“有助于投资新的发展”意思相符,而且“contribute to”与原文中的“have a significant impact”表达的含义一致,而且都是为了“fund new developments”,故C项为正确答案。【干扰排除】A项“cost”一词在文中并未提及,故该选项无中生有,是错误选项。B项“减少政府干预的影响”也未在文中提及,亦属于无中生有。第六段的主要内容集中在领导应该考虑创建更加稳定的租赁环境,进一步讲,他们应该承担更多的责任,而并非D项所表达的含义减轻了领导的责任,故D项与原文意思不符。

    I have learnt of a plan to build three hundred houses on the land called Parson's Place by the football ground .Few people know about this new plan to increase the size of our town.For me,
    Parson's Place is special because it is a beautiful natural area where local people can relax-the small wood has many unusual trees and the stream is popular with fishermen and bird-watchers'
    It's very quiet because there are few houses or roads nearby.I think that losing this area will be terrible because we have no other similar facilities in the neighbourhood.
    I am also against this plan because it will cause traffic problems.How will the people from the new houses travel to work?The motorway and the railway station are on the other side of town.
    Therefore,these people will have to drive through the town centre every time they go anywhere.
    The roads will always be full of traffic,there will be nowhere to park and the tourists who come to see our lovely old buildings will leave .Shops and hotels will lose business.If the town really needs more homes,the empty ground beside the railway station is a more suitable place.
    No doubt the builders will make a lot of money by selling these houses.But,in my opinion, the average person will quickly be made poorer by this plan.As well as this,we will lose a very special place and our town will be much less pleasant.
    I am going to the local government offices on Monday morning to protest about this plan and I hope that your readers will join me there.We must make them stop this plan before it is too late.

    Why has Alan written this letter?
    A: To persuade the government to build new houses.
    B: To protest about a new motorway near the town.
    C: To encourage more people in the town to use Parson's Place.
    D: To inform other people about the builders' plans.

    问答题
    Directions:In this section, there is one passage followed by a summary. Read the passage carefully and complete the summary below by choosing no more than three words from the passage. Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.  Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage.The City of the Future  What will city life be like in the future? Some people think that life in the cities is going to be horrible. They predict that cities will become more and more crowded. As the number of people increases, there will be less space for each person. This overcrowding will cause other problems—more crime, dirtier streets, and worse problems with traffic than we have now. How will people find enough drinking water, energy (such as gas and electricity), and housing? Because life will be hard, people who live in cities will worry more, and they may become sick. For these reasons, some say that nobody will want to live in urban areas.  How can we solve such problems as overcrowding, crime, and traffic? In some cities, thousands of people are already sleeping in the streets because there is so little suitable housing—and because rents are so high. The crime rate isn’t going down. Instead, it is increasing so fast that many people are afraid to go out at night. Traffic is also getting worse. More and more often, traffic jams are so bad that cars don’t move at all for several blocks. These urban problems have been getting worse, not better, so many people see no hope for the future of the city.  Los Angeles, California, for instance, has no subway system and the buses are slow. Instead, most commuters drive many miles from their homes to work. Many of these drivers spend several hours each day on busy freeways. New York, by contrast, has a mass transit system—buses, commuter trains, and subways. Because the public transportation is crowded and dirty, however, many people drive private cars, and the traffic jams are worse than in Los Angeles.  On the other hand, some cities have clean, fast, and pleasant public transportation systems. In Paris, France, and Toronto, Canada, for example, anyone can use mass transit to move quickly from one part of the city to another.  The disadvantages of any modern city are not unique to that city—that is, cities all over the world have to solve the problems of traffic jams, crime, housing, energy, drinking water, and overcrowding. Yet many cities have found answers to one or more of these difficulties. Some European cities, such as Stockholm, Sweden, or London, England, have planned communities that provide people with apartments, jobs, shopping centers, green space, entertainment, and transportation. Many U.S. cities are rebuilding their downtown areas. Urban planners can learn from one another. They can try solutions that have been successful in other parts of the world.  Summary:  Some people think that life in the cities is going to be horrible. They say that cities will become more and more crowded and many other problems will be caused by this  1 Due to the hard life, people do not want to live in  2 These urban problems such as overcrowding, crime and traffic have been getting worse, so many people  3 for the future of the city. However, these disadvantages of any modern city are not unique to that city. All the cities all over the world must solve the problems and fortunately, many of them have found answers to one or more of these difficulties. For example,  4 or London has planned communities providing people with apartments, jobs and so on. Besides, many U. S. cities  5 In a word, solutions that have been successful in a place should be adopted and tried in another place.

    正确答案:
    1.overcrowding 文章第一段第五句提到“This overcrowding will cause other problems - more crime, dirtier streets, and worse problems with traffic than we have now”,题目为原文的被动语态表述,因此答案为overcrowding。
    2.urban areas 文章第一段最后两句提到“Because life will be hard, people who live in cities will worry more, and they may become sick. For these reasons, some say that nobody will want to live in urban areas”,即,由于生活的艰辛,没有人愿意生活在市内。
    3.see no hope 文章第二段最后一句提到“These urban problems have been getting worse, not better, so many people see no hope for the future of the city”,因此答案为see no hope。
    4.Stockholm 文章最后一段第三句提到“Some European cities, such as Stockholm, Sweden, or London, England, have planned communities that provide people with apartments, jobs, shopping centers, green space, entertainment, and transportation”,句中Stockholm与London并列,因此答案为Stockholm。
    5.rebuild downtown areas 文章最后一段中作者举例说明很多城市已经找到了解决城市存在的问题的方法,美国城市即所举例子之一。倒数第三句提到:“Many U. S. cities are rebuilding their downtown areas”,同时考虑到答案不能超过三个词,可知答案为rebuild downtown areas。

    单选题
    Why is a “selling panic” much less likely in the housing market?
    A

    Because most houses are primary residences.

    B

    Because people have locked in low mortgaged rates.

    C

    Because people could only qualify for smaller mortgages.

    D

    Because people don’t believe housing market would crash.


    正确答案: D
    解析:
    录音中明确指出“selling panic”(抛售大恐慌)不可能发生原因是“most houseing are primary residences”,即大多数的房屋都主要是住宅,故选A。
    【录音原文】
      Do you think the housing market will crash and prices will go down? If so, what time frame do you suggest? You’re not the only one who’s worried about whether the housing market is another “bubble” ready to burst. Yes, it’s certainly likely that — at some point — housing prices will stop rising as quickly as they have been recently and may even fall somewhat.
      But earlier dire predictions of an impending housing crash in recent times haven’t come about. One reason a “crash” is unlikely is that the housing market is structured much differently from investment markets like stocks or commodities. A “selling panic”, for example, is much less likely in the housing market because most houseing are primary residences. If everyone wanted to sell at once, where would we all live?
      The impact on average price also tends to be gradual because housing price trends are very local; a lot has to do with how the supply of housing in a given area compares to demand. In some markets, where the local economy is in decline and everyone is leaving, housing prices can and do fall. But in areas where the economy is strong and there’s little space for new construction — prices will most likely continue to rise.
      There are plenty of doomsday scenarios out there; A prolonged, steep recession could eventually bring steep housing price declines. A sharp rise in interest rates would likely cool demand for houses and force prices lower — because potential buyers would qualify for smaller mortgages. But many homeowners have locked in low rates and wouldn’t feel the impact of higher rates on their monthly mortgage payments.
