People living on parts of the south coast of England face a serious problem. In 1993 , the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to dieir horror, that their gardens had disappeared overnight. The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliffs on which they had been built. While experts were studying the problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether, sliding down the cliff and into the sea.
Erosion (侵蚀) of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be abandoned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people, forecasting the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea.
Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their homes. Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases, this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents go further along the coast, shifting the problem from one area to another. The danger is likely to continue, they say, until the waves reach an inland area of hard rock which will not be eaten as limestone is. Meanwhile, if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain future, apply to a house agent in one of the threatened areas on the south coast of England. You can get a house for a knockdown price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home.
According to the author, when buying a house along the south coast of England, people should______.
选项
A、be aware of the potential danger involved
B、guard against being cheated by the house agent
C、take the quality of the house into consideration
D、examine the house carefully before making a decision
答案
A
解析
细节推理题。buy a house这个短语出现在最后一段的倒数第二句话。意思是:如果你要买一个价格便宜但前途未卜的房子,你可以咨询位于英格兰南岸这一危险地区的房产经纪。你可用最低的价格买到一栋房子,但它可能也是不堪一击的房子。所以推断答案是A:要考虑潜在的危险。
