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:
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 are not opposed to living in flats
C、people in Britain are forced to move into high blocks of flats
D、modem flats still fail to provide the necessary facilities for living
答案D
解析 推理判断题。问题是：按照反对经济增长的人的观点，下面哪个不是我们应减慢增长的原因。根据原文第二段内容，第一句提出现点，下面几句是原因的论述。选项A“世界人口在不断地增长”，选项B“我们的自然环境面临着被工业破坏的危险”和选项C“自然资源有限的供应限制了工业继续增长”都是第二段叙述的原因。只有选项D“为提高物质生活质量需更多的努力”不是其原因，因此正确答案为D。
