问题     Britain almost more than any other country in the world must seriously face the problem of building upwards, that is to say of accommodating a considerable proportion of its population in high blocks of flats. It is said that the Englishman objects to this type of existence, but if the case is such, he does in fact differ from the inhabitants of most countries of the world today. In the past our own blocks of fiats have been associated with the lower-income groups and they have lacked the obvious provisions, such as central heating, constant hot water supply, electrically operated lifts from top to bottom, and so on, as well as such details, important notwithstanding (然而), as easy facilities for disposal of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages on* the grounds for washing. It is likely that the dispute regarding flats versus individual houses will continue to rage in for a long time as far as Britain is concerned. And it is unfortunate that there should be hot feelings on both sides whenever this subject is raised. Those who oppose the building of flats base their case primarily on the assumption (设想) that everyone prefers an individual home and garden and on the  high cost per unit of accommodation, The latter ignores the higher cost of providing full services to a scattered community and the cost in Both money and time of the journeys to work for the suburban resident:
The word "rage"(Line 9) means" ______ "
选项 A、be ignored
B、develop with great force
C、encourage people greatly
D、be in fashion
答案C
解析 语义理解题。根据上题提示，第三段叙述的是有关支持经济增长的内容的，第二句中的“These proponents of economic growth”应该是赞同经济增长的支持者。选项A“反对者”，选项B“支持的论据”，选项C“支持者”，选项D“意见不同”。因此选项C为正确答案。
