Question

3．A recent housing project in Helsinki offers remarkably cheap apartments for those under the age of 25．They must commit to spending time with their older neighbors．
Helsinki offers 247-suqare-foot studio apartments with a bathroom，storage space，kitchen，and balcony for only 272every month---about a third of the average price for a studio in the city．The apartment is inside homes for the elderly，and the young renter must spend between three to five hours with their elderly neighbors each week．
Like pretty much all other major cities in the world，Finland's capital of Helsinki has faced rapid population growth in recent years．And with population growth，comes an inevitable rise in the cost of living，and of course，sharp increase in rent．Currently，Helsinki is ranked 14th on the list of the world's most expensive cities．For those young and freshly independent，this causes terrible problems-even homelessness．
"It's a very expensive city to live in，"Mr．Bostrom writes in an email to CNN's Eoghan Macguire．"If you manage to get an apartment that the city owns，it can be quite affordable．The screening criteria included the ability to participate in a variety of activities，such as cooking or playing instruments，but the number of applicants for those apartments is so high that waiting list takes forever，"he says．
According to Helsinki's Youth Housing Association，they city council aims to ensure that every young person will have a home by 2018．Miki Mielonen，a representative of the youth department，says this project，currently in its trial stages，will help out young people while offering social benefits to senior citizens．"I think there is quite a rigid opinion in Finland with many people thinking young of the old ideas that we are going to break down．"
32．Helsinki probably rents a cheap apartment to a young man whoC．
A．reaches the age of 25                
B．has financial problems
C．promises to accompany the elderly     
D．agrees to share it with his neighbor
33．Which is the root reason for the housing problems in Helsinki？A

B．The high living standard
C．World's priciest apartment rent         
D．Low employment of college graduates

Answer 1

分析 本文講的是隨著人口的急劇膨脹，赫爾辛基的年輕人面臨住房困難的問題．最近在赫爾辛基的一個住宅項目為25歲以下的年輕人提供了非常便宜的公寓，但條件是年輕租賃者必須每周花三到五小時陪伴他們年長的鄰居．

解答 32．C 細節理解題．根據第二段最后一句The apartment is inside homes for the elderly，and the young renter must spend between three to five hours with their elderly neighbors each week．可知，這個公寓在老人的家里，年輕租賃者每周要花三到五小時之間陪伴他們年長的鄰居．故選C．
33．A 細節理解題．根據第三段第一、二句Finland's capital of Helsinki has faced rapid population growth in recent years．And with population growth，comes an inevitable rise in the cost of living，and of course，sharp increase in rent．可知，最近幾年赫爾辛基面臨人口的快速增長，隨著人口的增長，生活成本必然上升，當然租金也大幅上漲．故選A．
34．C 推理判斷題．根據第四段中"It's a very expensive city to live in，"Mr．Bostrom writes in an email to CNN's Eoghan Macguire．"If you manage to get an apartment that the city owns，it can be quite affordable．The screening criteria included the ability to participate in a variety of activities，such as cooking or playing instruments，but the number of applicants for those apartments is so high that waiting list takes forever，"he says．可知，這是一個住房非常昂貴的城市，如果你想得到這個城市的一套公寓，它可能是相當便宜的，但需要滿足一些條件才能申請，而且因為有很多人申請，申請的名單非常長，故推斷便宜的公寓的數量是有限的，故選C項．
35．B 推理判斷題．根據最后一段"I think there is quite a rigid opinion in Finland with many people thinking young of the old ideas that we are going to break down．"可知，現在要消除人們的偏見．故選B．
