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
A．The population explosion             
B．The high living standard
C．World's priciest apartment rent         
D．Low employment of college graduates
34．According to Mr Bostrom，the cheap apartments areC．
A．well-decorated

Answer 1

分析 本文讲的是随着人口的急剧膨胀，赫尔辛基的年轻人面临住房困难的问题．最近在赫尔辛基的一个住宅项目为25岁以下的年轻人提供了非常便宜的公寓，但条件是年轻租赁者必须每周花三到五小时陪伴他们年长的邻居．

解答 32．C 细节理解题．根据第二段最后一句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，这个公寓在老人的家里，年轻租赁者每周要花三到五小时之间陪伴他们年长的邻居．故选C．
33．A 细节理解题．根据第三段第一、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，最近几年赫尔辛基面临人口的快速增长，随着人口的增长，生活成本必然上升，当然租金也大幅上涨．故选A．
34．C 推理判断题．根据第四段中"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，这是一个住房非常昂贵的城市，如果你想得到这个城市的一套公寓，它可能是相当便宜的，但需要满足一些条件才能申请，而且因为有很多人申请，申请的名单非常长，故推断便宜的公寓的数量是有限的，故选C项．
35．B 推理判断题．根据最后一段"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，现在要消除人们的偏见．故选B．
