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 fiats. 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 flats 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, as easy facilities for disposal of dust and rubbish and storage places for baby carriages on the ground floor, playgrounds for children on the top of the buildings, and drying grounds for washing.
It is likely that the dispute regarding flats versus individual houses will continue to rage on 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 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 10) means "______".
选项
A、be ignored
B、develop with great force
C、encourage people greatly
D、be in fashion
答案
B
解析
本题为词义理解题。由上下文可知,在英国,这场关于是居住在公寓里还是独立的房子里的争论很可能会继续……并且一旦提及这个话题,持相反立场的人们的情绪就会变得激动。由此可见,rage 此处的含义是 develop with great force,即“激烈地进行”,而不是“被忽视”(ignore)、“大大地激励人们”(encourage people greatly)、或是“流行”(be in fashion)。
