Text 4 When the government talks about infrastructure contributing to the economy the focus is usually on roads,railways,broadband and energy.Housing is seldom mentioned.Why is that?To some extent the housing sector must shoulder the blame.We have not been good at communicating the real value that housing can contribute to economic growth.Then there is the scale of the typical housing project.It is hard to shove for attention among multibillionpound infrastructure project,so it is inevitable that the attention is focused elsewhere.But perhaps the most significant reason is that the issue has always been so politically charged.Nevertheless,the affordable housing situation is desperate.Waiting lists increase all the time and we are simply not building enough new homes.The comprehensive spending review offers an opportunity for the government to help rectify this.It needs to put historical prejudices to one side and take some steps to address our urgent housing need.There are some indications that it is preparing to do just that.The communities minister,Don Foster,has hinted that George Osborne,Chancellor of the Exchequer,may introduce more flexibility to the current cap on the amount that local authorities can borrow against their housing stock debt.Evidence shows that 60,000 extra new homes could be built over the next five years if the cap were lifted,increasing GDP by 0.6%.Ministers should also look at creating greater certainty in the rental environment,which would have a significant impact on the ability of registered providers to fund new developments from revenues.But it is not just down to the government.While these measures would be welcome in the short term,we must face up to the fact that the existing£4.5bn programme of grants to fund new affordable housing,set to expire in 2015,is unlikely to be extended beyond then.The Labour party has recently announced that it will retain a large part of the coalition's spending plans if returns to power.The housing sector needs to accept that we are very unlikely to ever return to era of largescale public grants.We need to adjust to this changing climate.While the government’s commitment to long-term funding may have changed,the very pressing need for more affordable housing is real and is not going away.The author believes that after 2015,the government may____A.implement more policies to support housingB.review the need for largescale public grantsC.renew the affordable housing grants programmeD.stop generous funding to the housing sector
选项
A.implement more policies to support housing
B.review the need for largescale public grants
C.renew the affordable housing grants programme
D.stop generous funding to the housing sector
答案
D
解析
推理题【命题思路】这是一道开放式推理题。考生需要将最后一段的主要内容和文章的主旨相结合进行推理。【直击答案】根据题干可以回文定位到最后一段。第二句提到用于建设经济适用房项目的资金将于2015年到期,而且不可能延期。这就意味着政府的投资停止了。D项与原文信息相符。【干扰排除】文中主要提到的是住房建设所遇到的资金问题,并没有提及政策性问题,因而A项属于无中生有,故排除。最后一段第四句话提到我们不可能再回到大规模的公共设施投资时代,因此政府未来将不会再重新审视大规模的公共设施投资需求,故B项与原文意思不符。同理,政府也不会更新经济适用房建设计划,故排除C项。
