In the United States, many people once lived in large, two-and-three-story homes. Today, many people would like to live in such houses but most people can’t. They don’t have enough money to buy them or even to make the first payment. So, many people rent from month to month. But some Americans really want to live in a house of their own. So they build their own home. They buy a house that is situated in an area where houses are cheaper. It is better to reside in a bad part of town, they think, than not to live in a house at all Or they buy an old house and redesign it. Then they decorate it with old style furniture. Sometimes they can make an old house look more beautiful than a new one. Usually, it is not difficult for people to find an old home to buy. Many older people decide that they don’t need a big home after their children leave. So they sell their house and move into a comfortable apartment. But when people move into a house, they sometimes have problems. Homeowners have to do their own maintenance. For example, if the roof leaks, one cannot ask the landlord to fix it. On the other hand, people can redesign their homes in any way they want without having to be afraid of being thrown out by the landlord.
9. Why don’t many Americans live in large, two-and-three-story houses?
10. Why is it easy to find old houses for sale?
11. What problem will people have after they buy a house?
选项
A、Because many young people have moved into comfortable apartments.
B、Because many old houses in the poor area of the town are not inhabited.
C、Because many older people sell their houses after their children leave.
D、Because many people have quit their old houses to build new ones.
答案
C
解析
根据选项可以预测题目大致是问为什么有很多旧房空出来。短文提到,人们不难发现有老房子可供购买。接着说明原因:很多上了年纪的人在孩子们离开后会卖掉大房子搬进公寓。C项中的关键词older people,sell,children leave都是听到的原词组合,故选C。A错在主语,录音中说搬到舒适的公寓里的也是老人,不是年轻人。
