问题 What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face? [br] The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England______.

选项 A、will soon become a problem for people living in central England
B、has now become a threat to the local residents
C、can be stopped if proper measures are taken
D、is quickly changing the map of England

答案 B

解析 根据第二段第一句话"Erosion of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years"可见,海水侵蚀海岸问题由来已久,只不过最近几年变得越来越严重了,已经成了"a threat to the local residents",所以B为正确答案。另外,文章告诉我们"the erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England"已经成了一个严重的问题,而选项A的将来时与原文不符合,故错误。纵观全文我们看到,目前还没有一个"stop erosion"的万全之策,所以选项C中的假设还嫌牵强。文章第二段提到专家们"have drawn up a map for local people",目的是预言"the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea",可见"the erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England"正在迅速改变英国的地图一说为时尚早。
