People living on part of the south coast of England face a serious problem. In 1993 ,the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their 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, his 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.
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
文章第二段说英格兰南部海岸线上的侵蚀早已是个问题,近些年来越来越严重。许多房子沉入海里,并且专家已经研究了受影响最严重的地区,并绘制地图给居民,预测他们的房子何时会受到海水的侵袭。由此可以看出,这一问题已经对当地居民形成了威胁。故选B 。A “将很快成为居住在英格兰中心的居民所要面临的问题”;C “如果采取适当的措施,就能很快阻止”;D “会很快改变英格兰的版图”在文章中都没有所体现。
