Question

英语的阅读理解

Mrs.Smith has ever read a story about the cost of living in the country rather than in the town,and she agrees with most of the points that writer made.She and her husband lived in the middle of Horlton until two years ago―a seaside town of nearly five hundred thousand people.When her husband stopped working,they moved to their present house in a small village at the foot of Roland Hill,and there is no doubt that their costs are higher now.
She has todo her shopping in small shops,where the food is more expensive than in city supermarkets.It costs more to travel by bus,and because the men who come to mend the television,or the washing-machine ,have to come further,they have to pay them more.
But it does not cost them much to enjoy what is beautiful in the country,and peace and quiet are cheap.Many peaple spend a good deal of time and money driving into the country to enjoy the simple things of life,yet they can enjoy them just by going out of the front door.It costs more to live here than it did in Horlton,but now life really is worth living.

Answer 1

1.D
原文第一段第一行中的 the cost of living in the country rather than in the town。
2.A
原文第一段最后一行的 there is no doubt that their costs are higher now。
3.C
原文第二段解释花费高的原因。第一，小店的食物贵，因为路程远的缘故。
第二，若有人来家里修电视或洗衣机，因为走得路程更远，所以花费更高。
4.B
原文第三段倒数第二句 they can enjoy them just by going out of the front door。

本文主要讲的是住在乡村花费比住在城市更高，第二段解释其两个主要原因。第三段解释为什么住在乡村好，尽管花销大但也很值得，因为可以享受简单生活。
