When John and Victoria Church arrived in New York from London for a one-year stay, they brought no furniture with them. They had planned either to live in a furnished apartment or to buy used furniture. But they soon learned about a new way of furnishing an apartment or a house that more and more people are using. The renting of home furnishings has become one of America’s fastest growing businesses.
Why do people rent their home furnishings instead of buying them? Many kinds of people:international businessmen, government officials, airline workers, young married couples—the people whose job or business may force them to move frequently from one city or one country to another — find they can rent better quality furniture than they could afford to buy. Young people with little money do not want to buy cheap furniture that they will soon grow to dislike. They prefer to wait until they have enough money to buy furniture they really like. Meanwhile, they rent. And people whose work takes them from place to place are saved the trouble of moving their furniture each time. They simply rent new furniture when they reach their new home.
Questions 16 to 18 are based on the passage you have just heard.
16. According to the passage, what kind of people would like to rent furnishings?
17. Why do people want to rent furnishings?
18. What is the best title of the passage?
选项
A、A New Trend — Renting of Home Furnishings.
B、Some Suggestions about Renting Home Furnishings.
C、How to Furnish Your House Attractively.
D、Advantages of Renting Home Furnishings.
答案
A
解析
这段短文主要是说家具租赁已成为美国增长最快的行业之一及其原因。解此题一是可以通过主题句The renting of home furnishings has become one of America’sfastest growing businesses;二是可以通过排除法:(B)租家具的建议和(C)怎样布置家居短文没有提到,(D)具有一定的迷惑性,但要注意短文的后半部分是对why的回答,是在解释为什么有人愿意租而不是买家具,它不是讨论租赁家具的优势。综合四个选项,(A)最合适。
