Oakland has long suffered in comparison with its neighbor San Francisco, which lies a few miles across San Francisco Bay. It is true that Oakland is not exactly first on most people’s list of places to visit or live. The economy of the city is quite different from San Francisco’s as Oakland relies on industry and shipping as opposed to the white-collar services and tourism that are the mainstays of the San Francisco economy. As such, the port of Oakland is one of the busiest in the country and is second in cargo traffic on the West Coast to the port of Long Beach in Los Angeles. Oakland and neighboring Berkeley also act as the center of the fast-growing East Bay of the San Francisco Bay area.
Oakland has been plagued by high crime and poverty rates for years. Recently, however, the economy has improved, and Oakland is undergoing something of a rebirth. This has been stimulated by a number of young professionals who are unable to afford the rents in San Francisco and have therefore taken up residence in Oakland. While it may never equal its famous neighbor in prestige, the city of Oakland has a growing economy, a diverse population, and a pleasant climate that make it an agreeable place to live. [br] What is one reason people might choose to live in Oakland as opposed to San Francisco?
选项
A、The economy is far better.
B、It is more affordable.
C、The population is growing.
D、It is one of the safest cities in the world.
答案
B
解析
问要在奥克兰居住的原因的问题。要把焦点放在报道后半部分和居住有关的内容及同时提出的原因。第二段中间部分说,“This has been stimulated by a number of young professionals who are unable to afford the rents in San Francisco and have therefore taken up residence in Oakland.”很多承担不起旧金山昂贵的租金的年轻专业人士们选择居住在奥克兰的倾向有所增加。通过该内容可知奥克兰的租金相对便宜,因此正确答案是(B)。
