短文改錯(cuò)dearjames篇一：補(bǔ)習(xí)四

Ⅰ.閱讀理解

More and more people are annoyed at the continually rising house prices. They want to know who is to blame for it.Local governments，developers and speculators(投機(jī)商) share a vested(既得的) interest in it. People who are really in need of homes are most likely to suffer heavy losses.

Many local governments depend on selling land to keep its

normal operation. The higher land prices, the more money.Therefore,

developers back the local governments by buying land at high prices.

In return, the governments make favorable policies to help the

developers. For example, drive all the possible homebuyers to this

nasty(危險(xiǎn)的) market. They even encourage large numbers of

speculators to catch more people.

Rising house prices has already become the fence which divides the Chinese society. It has caused widespread dissatisfaction. The government will lose the support of the common people if leaving house prices out of control. Besides, rising house prices will stop us building the new countryside as the present policy actually forbid people to flow freely from cities to the countryside.

Collecting taxes on houses can fundamentally solve this problem. On one hand, it will discourage the speculators. On the other hand, it will offer a stable tax resource apart from reducing the sales cost of the developers. Secondly, stop the developers selling the houses before completion. If so, the developers will certainly try their best to sell all their houses once completed. And this will also lower speculators' expectation of price rising, which will decrease speculations.

1. The only victims of rising house prices are________.

A．governments B．real homebuyersC．developers D．speculators

2．The local governments reward the developers by ________.

A．offering enough land B．a(chǎn)llowing sales in advance

C．providing enough buyers D．making favorable policies

3．We can infer from the passage that continually rising house prices will ________.

A．benefit the governmentB．draw more homebuyers

C．help the housing industry develop soundly

D．a(chǎn)ffect the sound development of the Chinese society

4．Collecting taxes on houses has all the following effects except ________.

A．making the developers do their best to sell their houses

B．cutting down speculations

C．supplying a stable tax resource for the government

D．decreasing the sales cost

Boiler rooms are often dirty and steamy, but this one is clean and cool. Fox Point is a very new47-unit living building in South Bronx, one of the city’s poorest areas. Two-thirds of the people living there are formerly (以前) homeless people, whose rent is paid by the government. The rest are low-income families. The boiler room has special equipment, which produces energy for electricity and heat. It reuses heat that would otherwise be lost to the air, reducing carbon emissions(碳排放)while also cutting costs.

Fox Point is operated by Palladian, a group that specializes in providing housing and services to needy, people. Palladian received support from Enterprise Community Partners (ECP), which helps build affordable housing by providing support to housing developers.

ECP has created national standards for healthy, environmentally (環(huán)境方面) clever and affordable homes which are called, the Green Communities Standards. These standards include water keeping, energy saving and the use of environmentally friendly building materials. Meeting the standards increases housing construction costs by 2%, which is rapidly paid back by lower running costs. Even the positioning of a window to get most daylight can help save energy.

Michael. Bloomberg, New York's mayor, plans to create 165,000 affordable housing units for500,000 New Yorkers. Almost 80% of New York City’s greenhouse-gas emissions come from buildings, and 40% of those are caused, by housing. So he recently announced that the city’s Department of Housing and Preservation and Development (DHPD) , whose duty is to develop and keep the city’s supply of affordable housing, will require all its new projects to follow ECP’s green

standards.

Similar measures have been taken by other cities such as Cleveland and Denver, but New York’s DHPD is the largest city developer of affordable housing in the country.

1. 答案：C

考點(diǎn)：作者的寫作意圖

解析：從第一段最后兩句，作者描述開水房僅是從一個(gè)側(cè)面展示整個(gè)建筑群的節(jié)能，環(huán)保，可以得出答案。

2. 答案：A

考點(diǎn)：細(xì)節(jié)理解

解析：依據(jù)文章第三段倒數(shù)第二句：Meeting the standards increases housing construction costs

by 2%, which is rapidly paid back by lower running costs.可得到答案。句意為“達(dá)到這一標(biāo)準(zhǔn)會將建筑成本提高2%，但很快會被它的低成本運(yùn)行成本補(bǔ)回”

3. 答案：B

考點(diǎn)：細(xì)節(jié)理解 解析：依據(jù)文章第四段第二句：Almost 80% of New York City’s greenhouse-gas emissions come from buildings, and 40% of those are caused, by housing..可得出答案

4. 答案：D

考點(diǎn)：作者的寫作目的

解析：本文主要讓讀者了解這類健康、環(huán)保、經(jīng)濟(jì)類住房。

閱讀理解。閱讀下列短文, 從給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng) (A、B、C和D) 中, 選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

A punctual person is in the habit of doing a thing at the proper time and is never late in keeping an appointment.

The unpunctual man, on the other hand, never does what he has to do at the proper time. He is always in a hurry and in the end loses both time and his good name. A lost thing may be found again, but lost time can never be regained. Time is more valuable than material things. In fact, time is life itself. The unpunctual man is for ever wasting and mismanaging his most valuable asset as well as others’. The unpunctual person is always complaining that he finds no time to answer letters, or return calls or keep appointments promptly. But the man who really has a great deal to do is very careful of his time and seldom complains of want of it. He knows that he can not get through huge amount of work unless he faithfully keeps every piece of work when it has to be attended to.

Failure to be punctual in keeping one’s appointments is a sign of disrespect towards others. If a person is invited to dinner and arrives later than the appointed time, he keeps all the other guests waiting for him. Usually this will be regarded as a great disrespect to the host and all other guests present.

Unpunctuality, moreover, is very harmful when it comes to doing one’s duty, whether public or private. Imagine how it would be if those who are put in charge of important tasks failed to be at their proper place at the appointed time. A man who is known to be habitually unpunctual is never trusted by his friends or fellow men.
