【題目】任務型閱讀 七選五閱讀 根據(jù)短文內容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

A problem is only a problem until there is a solution(解決辦法)．We find solutions by thinking creatively.【1】 In other words, we think outside the box. Sometimes, thinking outside the box solves not just one, but two problems. Amsterdam is one of the most crowded cities in Europe. As a result, housing is very expensive，especially for students.

【2】 However，finding this type of apartments was almost impossible until recently. While the colleges in Amsterdam were trying to solve the housing problem，thousands of shipping contains(集裝箱) were lying quietly in ports(港口) around the world. These huge steel containers carry products from one country to another. The life of each container is about 10 years【3】 Yet they can't recycle all of them because there are so many.

Back in Amsterdam，a company came up with amazing idea. Why not reuse these shipping containers as student apartments? 【4】They are all the same size and fit together perfectly. The steel is strong. Moreover，these containers are so widely available that they are quite cheap to buy. For all these reasons，they can be used to build apartments quickly and cheaply. Building began in 2005，and after only a few weeks，hundreds of Amsterdam students had new homes.

When students first heard about this idea, they thought the container apartments would be small，noisy，and cold. 【5】 Each container apartment has a kitchen, a bedroom with a study area, and a bathroom. The apartments are warm and quiet. They even have a highspeed Internet connection. Living in a shipping container has become popular. Today, over 3,000 Amsterdam students live in the container village.

【解析】文章大意：短文講了解決舊集裝箱問題的方法，一些被鋼鐵公司回收，一些被建成了學生公寓，現(xiàn)在有很多學生住在集裝箱的公寓里。

【1】由上文“We find solutions by thinking creatively.”以及下文“In other words, we think outside the box.”可知都在說我們想問題的方式需要創(chuàng)造性，只有G項提到了creative的概念，故答案選G。

【2】由下文的“this type of apartments”可知此處提到了某種類型的公寓，而A項中提到了“低價公寓”，所以A選項符合題意，故答案選A。

【3】由下文“Yet they can't recycle all of them because there are so many.”可知這里是轉折關系，而E項正好形成這種轉折的邏輯，說明這些公司在回收集裝箱，但是無法全部回收，因為數(shù)量太多了，故答案選E。

【4】由上文“Why not reuse these shipping containers as student apartments?”是提出了一個建議，可知下文應該是集裝箱的優(yōu)點，B項說的是“這些集裝箱很適合建造學生公寓”符合邏輯，故答案選B。

【5】由上文“When students first heard about this idea, they thought the container apartments would be small, noisy, and cold.”以及下文“Each container apartment has a kitchen, a bedroom with a study area, and a bathroom.”可知此處應該是學生們一個態(tài)度上的反差，而D項表示了他們的驚訝，符合題意，故答案選D。
