Question

【題目】 When young people begin to live independently, home-hunting can be difficult. But they would do well to remember that a new choice is available — micro-homes.

Fondly called “tiny houses,” these houses have all living necessities in a small package, including kitchen, bedroom and bathroom. Generally under 50 square meters, most tiny houses can hold just one or two people though some say they have the space for more. What’s lost in size is not lost in design as these homes are often quite modern in design.

Besides an attractive appearance, tiny houses can also have practical features(特點(diǎn)). Making the best of urban space, the 72-to-122-centimeter-wide Keret House in Warsaw, the world’s narrowest home, filled in an alley(小巷). The house uses solar power, wind power and rainwater collection to make its owner live practically anywhere.

Although micro-homes are attractive, there are a few disadvantages to consider before getting comfortable on a minicouch. Moving into a tiny house, you should throw away unnecessary things. It is also mostly impossible to invite guests. And finally, a micro-home is likely a temporary(暫時(shí)的) living choice for most people since they will probably start families and own more things.

Though the limitation will scare some, there is usually a benefit. A small size results in low prices and small bills, making tiny houses easier to afford. And though you won’t have many things around the house, it makes it easy and simple to keep it clean. Micro-homes are also eco-friendly, which can’t be matched by other homes. They probably aren’t for everyone or forever, but when it comes to your next (or first) home, they could be just what you need.

A.People can’t take a package into the tiny houses.

B.All of the houses can hold more than two people.

C.These houses are convenient though tiny in size.

D.Such houses are poorly designed because of the small size.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】A

【3】B

【4】B

【解析】

本文是一篇說明文，主要介紹了50平米以下的微型住宅的特點(diǎn)，優(yōu)點(diǎn)和缺點(diǎn)，優(yōu)點(diǎn)是便宜，實(shí)惠，環(huán)保，缺點(diǎn)是小，只能準(zhǔn)備生活的必需品以及不能會(huì)友。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第2大段“these houses have all living necessities in a small package, including kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.” 這些房子把所有的生活必需品都裝在一個(gè)小盒子里如廚房等，所以人可以帶包裹進(jìn)入，故A錯(cuò)誤；根據(jù)第2大段“most tiny houses can hold just one or two people”大部分的微型住宅只能容納1-2人，故B選項(xiàng)超過2人是錯(cuò)誤的；根據(jù)第2大段“these houses have all living necessities in a small package, including kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.” 這些房子里所有的生活必需品都在一個(gè)小包裹里，包括廚房、臥室和浴室�？芍�，面積雖小，但是必需品都有，所以是便利的。故C正確；根據(jù)第2大段“What’s lost in size is not lost in design as these homes are often quite modern in design.”這些微型住宅的設(shè)計(jì)很現(xiàn)代化，故D錯(cuò)誤。故選C。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第3大段“tiny houses can also have practical features(特點(diǎn)).”微型住宅有使用功能；再根據(jù)第3大段“Making the best of urban space, the 72-to-122-centimeter-wide Keret House in Warsaw, the world’s narrowest home, filled in an alley(小巷).” 72 - 122厘米,寬Keret房子在華沙,世界最小的家�？芍�是舉例說明微型住宅的實(shí)用功能。故選A。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第5大段“A small size results in low prices and small bills, making tiny houses easier to afford.”微型住宅價(jià)錢低，更容易支付。可知，是適用于沒有很多錢的人。故選B。

【4】最佳標(biāo)題題。根據(jù)第1大段“But they would do well to remember that a new choice is available — micro-homes.” 但他們最好記住，一個(gè)新的選擇是可用的微型住宅。再根據(jù)第5大段“Micro-homes are also eco-friendly, which can’t be matched by other homes.”微型住宅也很環(huán)保，這點(diǎn)是其他住宅所不及的。說明文章主要在介紹微型住宅。故選B。

閱讀理解題中推理判斷題，是英語試題中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的題型，也是難題之一。4個(gè)選項(xiàng)要根據(jù)題干意思一一從原文中查找，有些是關(guān)鍵單詞出錯(cuò)，有些是句子意思表達(dá)有誤。此類判斷題考查學(xué)生對(duì)文章句子的深層次理解能力。如第1題，A是意思出錯(cuò)；B是數(shù)字出錯(cuò)；D是意思出錯(cuò)。所以句子正誤題可以優(yōu)先注意題干中的關(guān)鍵信息，如數(shù)字，地點(diǎn)，程度詞等。
