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 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.
We can infer from the passage that ______.
选项 A、English people, like most people in other countries, dislike living in flats
B、people in most countries of the world today are not opposed to living in flats
C、people in Britain are forced to move into high blocks of flats
D、modern flats still fail to provide the necessary facilities for living
答案B
解析 本题为细节推理题。文中提到，听说英国人反对这种生存方式(即住在高层公寓里)，要是事实如此的话，英国人就与现在世界上大多数国家的居民想法不同(即现在世界上大多数国家的居民愿意住在高层公寓里)。接下来文章又说，在过去，我们的公寓里确实缺这少那，缺乏必需的生活便利设施(暗含之意，现在已经都有了)。因此，A 和 D 选项的表述不正确，而究竟是居住在高层公寓里还是拥有自己独立的房子尚处于争辩期，没有人强迫英国人搬进高层公寓去居住，C 选项也被排除。
