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.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.答案：D解析：细节题。根据第一段“Few people know about… the size of our town.”以及对全文理解可知，Alan写这封信是为了让其他人了解建筑商计划。因此D项正确。
细节题。根据第一段“For me , Parson's Place is…with fishermen and bird-watchers.” 可以知道答案。因此C项正确。
细节题。根据第二段中“The roads will always be full of traffic…see our lovely old buildings will leave.”可以知道，如果按照建筑商的计划，公路上将总是有很多车辆，却没有地方来停车。因此A项正确。
细节题。根据第三段中“But, in my opinion , the average person will quickly be made poorer by this plan.”可知道答案。因此D项正确。
主旨题。Alan在本文中一直在说抵制建筑商在帕森场上建造房屋的计划。因此B 项正确。 -

第10题：
单选题Why is a “selling panic” much less likely in the housing market?ABecause most houses are primary residences.
BBecause people have locked in low mortgaged rates.
CBecause people could only qualify for smaller mortgages.
DBecause 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. -
