When George Osbome,Chancellor of the Exchequer,is spotted outside Westminster,he is very often making an appearance on a building site,wearing a fluorescent safety jacket.It was no surprise to hear him claim once again,in his budget speech on March 19th,that"We're getting Britain building".Sadly,given the huge exlenl of Britain's housing shortage,the chancellor's proposed interventions do not add up to much.The biggest announcement was that the government will extend Help to Buy,a scheme that guarantees mortgages for people purchasing newly built homes.Mr Osbome also hopes to build a new town at Ebbsfleet,a patch of post-industrial land in the Thames estuary,and promises to speed up the redevelopment of several rotting 1960s and 1970s social housing estates in London.By making it easier for house builders to shift their stock,Help to Buy has probably helped boost building slightly,especially in northern cities where construction had all but ceased.Extending the programme will boost Britain's housing stock by 120,000 by 2020,the Treasury cltums,though it will also expose taxpayers to any future house-price crash.Mr Osborne also announced a new fund to support lending io smaU house builders-who have sLruggled to get financing in recent years which ought to have a similar effect.The new town is more advencurous.Ebbsfleei.where a high-speed rail link to London opened in 2007,has had plans for new homes for almost 20 years.Few have been built,mosdy because the site is a partially flooded quarry with little in the way of shops.public transport or infrastructure.The government's new idea is to create a development corporation with control over planning and the ability to borrow to clean up and prepare the site.That was how post-war new towns such as Milton Keynes and Stevenage were built.A sinular interventionism is visible in the plan to rebuild 1960s estates.Many of these,such as the Aylesbury Estate in SouLhwark and Robin Hood Gardens in Tower Hamlets,are crummbling.By increasing the density on the sites,and using the proceeds of selling the extra houses built,it ought to be possible to cover the cost of reconstniclion.Bui counciLs have been short of money to do much themselves,and private developers extract high retums in exchange for putting up capital.With central-govemment money,those projects ought to move quicker and councils ought to get more for their land.Ebbsfleet is mentioned in the text to show____A.the necessary Dart of urbanizationB.the boldness of building new townsC.the urgency of housing constructionD.the importance of building infrastructure
选项
A.the necessary Dart of urbanization
B.the boldness of building new towns
C.the urgency of housing construction
D.the importance of building infrastructure
答案
B
解析
例证题。根据Ebbsfleet定位到第四段第一行。该段几乎整段都在讲Ebbsfleet的例子,而文章举例一般是为了论证某个观点,整段具有观点性且具有总结性的句子只有首句:The neW town is more adventurous.该句即本题答案句。与该句替换的选项为[B]the boldness of building new towns“建设新城镇的胆量”;其中.boldness“胆量”=adventurous“冒险的,大胆创新的”:new towns则是原词复现。[A]the necessary part of urbanization“城市化的必要部分”;[C]the urgency of housing construction“住房建设迫在眉睫”;[D]the importance of building infrastnlcture“建设基础设施的重要性”;这三项均无法与“The new town is more adventurous”一句替换,故本题答案为[B]。
