Section CDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.In London, over half of the homes built between 1919 and 1980 had one garage. But many are becoming needless. Between 2002 and 2012 the proportion of vehicles kept in garages at night dropped from22% to 14%. This is in part because some households now have more cars than garage space. But it is also because big modern cars do not fit in older garages, says David Leibling, a transport expert. Few rust when left outside, and many are more difficult to steal: between 2003 and 2013 the number of vehicle being stolen in England and Wales fell 76%. Instead, garages now solve a different set of problems.Householders unable to move to larger homes have taken to filling their garages with unnecessary and unwanted things. Some garages have been converted for aging parents for their convenience, says Paul Bishop, who runs a garage conversion company in Bedfordshire. Also, some young people unable on unwilling to leave home may have an option to live in the garage. In addition, a garage may be rented too young folks fond of music. It is more often than not, an ideal place to freely play music.However, many publicly owned garages lie empty. Of the 6,000 garages owned by Hackney council around 40% are free. Over 3,000 garages owned by ten housing associations are unused and the land they take up is unfit for building homes upon, says Steve OConnell, a councilor(议员) at the London Assembly. He thinks they could be tuned into small offices. That has already happened in places such as Berlin.Nevertheless converting garages can be troublesome, says Bill Hodgson of University College London. Few councils are enthusiastic enough to truly support the idea and put it into practice. A recent proposal tum some garages in north London into shelters for the homeless has been rejected; councilors feared that local residents would not approve. Getting planning permission can be complex, and developing on local authority land is often faced with various kinds of problems. Like the garages themselves, these plans may be useless and abandoned.(1) (单选题)In the viewpoint of David Leibling, many garages are unused for vehicles in that.A.the number of vehicles in the garages being stolen decreases by 76%B.big modern vehicles are covered with rust when placed in the garagesC.big modern vehicles do not suit older garagesD.some families have more garages than vehicle(2) (单选题)What does Paul Bishop say about garage conversion?A.The converted garages provide an easy life for old parents.B.It is more difficult to convert the garage for aging people.C.Empty garages can be used to settle social problems.D.Aging parents fill their garages with useless things.(3) (单选题)For some young people, the needless garage .A.is rented by them to make moneyB.is seen as a choice of accommodationC.is perfect to store music instrumentsD.is an ideal place to freely host parties(4) (单选题)What do we learn about publicly owned garages?A.40% of them are rented free of charge to the councilors.B.Many of them have been pulled down to make way for houses.C.40% of garages owned by Hackney council have been occupied.D.Many of them in Berlin have been converted into small offices.(5) (单选题)What do we learn from the last paragraph?A.Few councilors are opposed to the conversion proposal.B.Local residents permit the homeless to live in the garages.C.The local authority agrees with the planning of garage conversion.D.It is complicated to obtain the planning consent to the conversion.
