Attempt a guess at the following question: In the English-speaking world, which country has the least affordable homes? You are wrong if you guessed the US, even with the housing bubble （氣泡） and main sadness． Nor is it the UK, where prices have risen because demand is far from supply． According to a recent survey of 227 cities around the globe, you must go south of the equator （赤道） to Australia to find the priciest homes．

The report measured a city’s housing market along the following guidelines． An “affordable” home required three times or less of the average family’s income to purchase． At four times earnings, a home fell into the “unaffordable” category． And a “seriously unaffordable” home needed five times a family’s income． In Australia, homes in the least affordable city cost just about 9．5 times the average income． Sydney, Perth, and Melbourne were only a little under this figure．

Australian officials offered little comment, apart from a general statement on the dismal findings． These prices make the possibility that many Australians will one day own a home largely unbelievable． Land rationing （配給制） and excessive development charges have raised prices, and the problem will only be solved through urgent action by the Rudd government．

Some American cities were also included on the least affordable list, four of which were in California． America is still involved in a mortgage（抵押）crisis, though, affecting the affordability of homes． Yet a number of US cities garnered “affordable” status, namely Dallas and Kansas． Australia had no cities listed in the top fifty places with affordable homes．

The survey suggests that you can find affordable homes in most places, just not if you’re Australian and choose to live down under．

To buy an affordable house, you should pay _____．

   A． 3 times or less of the average family’s income

    B． 4 times or less of the average family’s income

    C． 5 times or less of the average family’s income

    D． 9．5 times or less of the average family’s income

What caused the prices of houses to increase in Australia?

   A． The rising family’s income．       B． The demand over supply．

   C． The excessive development charges． D． The decrease of land．

The underlined word “dismal” in Paragraph 3 may mean _____．

   A． cheerful       B． satisfactory

   C． difficult           D． gloomy

“Slow City” — a recently launched project focused on preserving the traditional quality of life enjoyed in some of Italy’s smaller cities and towns. The project was born from the idea of the “Slow Food” movement — started in Italy in the 1980s — which promotes leisurely eating and the growing of local, healthy products to fight against the American fast-food style.
“The American urban model has invaded our cities, making Italian towns look the same. We want to stop this kind of globalization,” says Paolo Saturnini, an Italian mayor.
The “Slow City” project plans to emphasize the rich, cultural, culinary(廚房的) and artistic local traditions of each community.
Walking areas will be enlarged and squares and parks will be made greener with more plants. Car alarms and other noise that disturbs the peace will be banned, and ugly TV aerials(天線), advertising posters, and signs will be taken down.
City councils will also insist on the use of recycling and renewable energy sources, and will also introduce ecological transport systems. Parking will be made stress-free by creating more public parking areas, and easily accessible walkways and bike lanes will cross the city. But in the “Slow City” way, all improvements will probably come about slowly.
Thirty-two Italian city councils, which joined the “Slow City” program, have decided to take further steps in this direction by increasing the numbers of traditional family-style eating establishments, reducing noise pollution, and concentrating on making their towns friendlier for people to live in.
Organic local produce will be promoted in all restaurants and genetically modified foods(轉(zhuǎn)基因食品) will be banned. “We can’t stop large, fast-food chains from coming here, but we hope that people who come to our towns will not want to eat exactly the same hamburger they can eat in Melbourne, London or Paris, but want something genuine and different,” said Saturnini.
【小題1】According to the passage, the “Slow City” project aims at _____.

A．preventing Italy from being affected by America
B．beautifying the environment of small Italian cities and towns
C．calling on Italians to enjoy stress-free life
D．protecting the traditional Italian lifestyle
【小題2】From Paragraphs 4-5, we can infer that ______.
A．cars in “Slow City” will have to go slowly
B．people can park their cars free of charge in “Slow City”
C．“Slow City” will take on an environmentally friendly look
D．a(chǎn)dvertising in “Slow City” will be banned
【小題3】Further measures will be included in the “Slow City” program EXCEPT _____.
A．cutting down noise pollution
B．stop genetically modified foods
C．getting more towns involved in the project
D．building more family-style restaurants
【小題4】In Saturnini’s opinion, when traveling in “Slow Cities”, visitors_____.
A．a(chǎn)ren’t provided with fast food
B．will see few fast-food chains
C．can enjoy themselves like in London
D．can enjoy real Italian-style healthy food

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2010年黑龍江省大慶鐵人中學(xué)高一期中考試英語(yǔ)卷 題型：閱讀理解

Tired of telling students to ask questions and to think about what they were doing, Damien Hynes, a high school geography teacher in Australia, decided to do an experiment to test what he had long been thinking．He wrote some well-organized nonsense （something untrue） on the blackboard．The students simply copied it but very few asked any questions．This shows that students are willing to believe anything given by teachers．The story is repeated in support of the Project for Enhancing Effective Learning （PEEL）．
PEEL was carried out by some teachers and researchers in Melbourne who had concluded that normal teaching methods seldom achieve their intended goals; what the teachers think they are teaching is one thing and what the students actually learn is something else．Students’ lack of an over-all view of learning goals and their concentration on test scores make them see each lesson as a separate activity．
Researchers realized that many students do not come into class empty-headed but have their own explanations of how the world works．Their own ideas can remain important to them even when they differ from scientific explanations that are learned later．In fact such ideas are hardly affected by traditional teaching．Students accept the teacher’s scientific explanation, but do not drop their own．They simply keep both and use them practically: in a class test, they copy the teacher’s idea, but in real life they use their own．
Clearly what was needed was to make students understand their learning process（過(guò)程）, and this is what the PEEL teachers set out to deal with．On the surface,（表面） a class being taught by PEEL methods only differs from an ordinary class in being a little noisier, because more people are talking．But there are some meaningful changes．Students are given much more time to express their views, and teachers don’t make immediate judgment．The students are allowed to guide what is done in class and their own ideas are always respected．This draws their attention to the actual learning process, and they become responsible for their own progress．
【小題1】The aim of Hynes’ experiment was to ______．

A．show that students didn’t think about what they learnt
B．prove the effectiveness of the project known as PEEL
C．test students’ general knowledge about geography
D．encourage students to ask more questions in class
【小題2】Why did some teachers and researchers carry out PEEL?
A．To ensure teachers do scientific work．
B．To help students get higher test scores．
C．To find the differences between what is taught and learnt．
D．To help normal teaching methods achieve their goals．
【小題3】An important difference between PEEL and non-PEEL classes is that in the PEEL classes ______．
A．the teacher does not give the usual scientific explanations
B．students always have their own knowledge of the subject
C．more attention is paid to the students’ own ideas
D．the best explanations are given by the students
【小題4】What is Damien Hynes？
A．He is a teacher who teaches geography in a high school in Australia
B．He is a geography teacher and a researcher in Australia
C．He is a teacher teaching geography in a high school in Austria
D．He is a high school geography teacher in Austria．
