问题 What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face?
The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England______.
选项 A、will soon become a problem for people living in central England
B、has now become a threat to the local residents
C、can be stopped if proper measures are taken
D、is quickly changing the map of England
答案B
解析 根据第二段第一句话"Erosion of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years"可见，海水侵蚀海岸问题由来已久，只不过最近几年变得越来越严重了，已经成了"a threat to the local residents"，所以B为正确答案。另外，文章告诉我们"the erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England"已经成了一个严重的问题，而选项A的将来时与原文不符合，故错误。纵观全文我们看到，目前还没有一个"stop erosion"的万全之策，所以选项C中的假设还嫌牵强。文章第二段提到专家们"have drawn up a map for local people"，目的是预言"the year in which their homes will be swallowed up by the hungry sea"，可见"the erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England"正在迅速改变英国的地图一说为时尚早。
