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:
Some people oppose the building of flats because ______.
选项 A、the living expenses for each individual family are higher
B、it involves higher cost compared with the building of houses
C、they believe people like to live in houses with gardens
D、the disposal of rubbish remains a problem for those living in flats
答案A
解析 主旨大意题。分析：文章第一段提出关于经济增长的问题，第二段是反对经济增长的观点，第三段是赞同的观点，第四段是结论部分，即有关经济增长的辩论还会继续。因此综合来看只有选项A最能涵盖这四段的内容。选项C是指辩论的重要性，偏离了题意。
