期末复习之阅读理解 20 篇 （Units 1-8 单元话题） Unit 1 单元话题 Even in more rural or open areas like Scotland, the newer houses are so small but expensively. Compared to England, Scotland has so much space for much bigger homes like those in the U.S. or Australia, but people there choose to build small homes that look really out of place in the countryside. What’s more, the prices are so high. Why We are a small country; lend suitable for building is expensive. The price of land is an important part in house prices. Also, in Britain, most houses are built of brick, so labour costs (人力成本) are high. When I visited the U.S., I noted that many of the new houses were built of timber and didn’t have slates (石板 ) or tiled roofs (用瓦平铺的屋顶 ). This is why when tornadoes (龙卷风) hit, houses there are blown away. Because of the housing market and prices, I am back for good in France, after 10 years of working in the U.K. For 130,000, you can at least get a three-to four-bedroom cottage and lots of land in France. You might Google “British country houses images” for some nice pictures of bigger houses. There is a huge variety of styles and sizes of houses in the U.K. well worth a look. In the past, nobody could afford bigger houses. And it’s cheaper when you have less space to heat. Remember that it’s not a warm country. If you have been to the U.K. , you will see how crowded it is around cities and towns. There is no room for large houses. What’s more, energy is very expensive in the U.K. and it is cold in winter, so a large house costs a lot of money to heat. 1．According to Berry, what causes Britain to have small but expensive houses ①Limited land. ②High labour costs. ③A large population. ④High prices of land suitable for building. A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 2．According to the article, why is Sue back in France A．She got tired of living in the U.K. B．She has found a better job in France. C．She already has a big house in France. D．She thinks the house prices in the U.K. are too high. 3．Who lists lower energy costs as a benefit of a smaller house A．Sue and Kim. B．Kim and Chris. C．Berry and Chris. D．Berry and Tiffany. 【答案】1．B 2．D 3．B 【导语】本文主要讨论了英国房屋面积小但价格高的原因，并对比了其他国家的情况。 1．细节理解题。根据“We are a small country; land suitable for building is expensive. The price of land is an important part in house prices. Also, in Britain, most houses are built of brick, so labour costs are high.”可知，英 国土地有限，适合建筑的土地价格高，且劳动力成本高。因此导致英国房屋面积小但价格高的原因是有限 的土地、高劳动力成本和适合建筑的土地价格高。故选 B。 2．细节理解题。根据“Because of the housing market and prices, I am back for good in France, after 10 years of working in the U.K. For 130,000, you can at least get a three-to four-bedroom cottage and lots of land in France.” 可知，由于房地产市场和房价的原因，在英国工作了 10 年之后，Sue 永远地回到了法国。在法国，花 13 万英镑，至少 ... ...
