Britain almost more than any other country in the world must seriously face the problem of building upwards, that is to say of accommodating a considerable proportion of its population in high blocks of fiats. 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 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 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.
Some people oppose the building of flats because
选项
A、it is dangerous for children to play on the top of buildings
B、they have to spend a lot of money and time on the journeys to work
C、they believe people like to live in houses with gardens
D、the disposal of rubbish remains a problem for those living in flats
答案
C
解析
本题为细节辨析题。文中提到,那些反对建公寓的人们把自己的观点建立在这样的假设上,即每个人都喜欢住在有花园的独立的房子里,并且他们还认为公寓里每套房子的花销太高。但实际上持这种论调的人忽视了一个问题,那就是给那些居住在独立的分散的社区住宅里的人们提供服务往往要花费更多的钱财,并且在位于郊区的家和城里的工作地点之间往返也会花费很多时间和金钱。因此,C 选项,“他们认为人们喜欢住在有花园的房子里”,是正确的。A 选项“孩子们在楼顶的娱乐场玩耍很危险”,文章中并未提及。B 选项,“他们要花费很多时间和金钱在从家到工作地的往返的途中”,这恰恰是居住在独立住宅的缺陷,不能作为反对建公寓楼的理由。D选项,“垃圾倾倒对于住在公寓里的人们来说仍然是个问题”,倒垃圾不方便是过去的问题,现在已经解决了。
