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 author mentions that people who live iii suburban houses ______.
选项 A、do not have access to easy facilities because they live away from the city
B、have to pay a lot of money to employ people to do service work
C、take longer time to know each other because they are a scattered community
D、have to spend more money and time traveling to work every day
答案C
解析 推理判断题。选项A“作者赞同经济增长”，选项B“作者反对继续增长经济”，选项C“作者根据事实描述”，选项D“作者很担心继续增长经济所带来的问题”。原文中既有支持又有反对经济增长的观点，也就是说作者很客观地进行了描述，因此选项C为正确答案。
