23年6月大学英语四级考试一卷,阅读理解第一篇,是关于美国高产和中产阶级提升生活品质的过程中,导致对穷人开放的公共设施减少,引起的不公平的现象。举了个游泳池的例子,美国游泳池有点像我们的网吧,私人电脑和网络多了以后,网吧就倒闭了,美国的私人游泳池很普及,就导致公共泳池无法经营而关闭。个人不是很喜欢这个文章,虽然是旧闻,用现在的话讲,充满了凡尔赛。
全文一共出现30处词组短语类的考点和难词偏词,均被《高中英语1.5万考点》和《睡眠记忆法配套词表》命中。
中文翻译:
美国正面临着住房危机:可负担的住房不足,奢华住宅却充裕,而无家可归问题仍然存在。尽管如此,流行文化和住房行业仍然把拥有更多空间和更多便利设施的生活描绘成幸福,大房子被宣传为辛勤工作和勤奋的回报,将住房从基本需求变成了一种奢侈品。
这反映在我们的住房上。美国1970年前建造的普通独栋住宅面积不到1500平方英尺。而到了2016年,新建独栋住宅的平均面积达到了2422平方英尺。此外,2000年代建造的住宅比早期模型更有可能拥有各种类型的空间:卧室、浴室、客厅、餐厅、娱乐室和车库。
生活大而复杂是有后果的。随着中产阶级的住房变得越来越大,发生了两件事。首先,大房子需要花费时间来维护,因此需要清洁工和其他低工资的服务员来保持这些房屋的秩序。其次,曾经人们可以汇聚在一起的公共空间越来越被私有化,导致公共设施的数量减少,许多人的生活质量也降低。以游泳池为例,在1950年,仅有2500个美国家庭拥有游泳池,而到1999年,这个数字增加到了400万。与此同时,公共市政游泳池经常关闭,使得低收入人群无处可游泳。
因此,更大住房的趋势引发了伦理问题。美国人是否应该接受这样的体制,即中产阶级和上层阶级享受奢华的生活方式,却需要他低工资人群来劳动?我们是否愿意接受这样的体制,即富人购买更多便利设施意味着穷人的设施减少?
我认为两者都是不可接受的。我们必须改变我们的思维方式;过得好并不需要拥有更多私人空间;相反,它可能意味着拥有更多公共空间。对于一些人来说,比建造更大的房子更好的目标是为所有人创造更多可公共访问的空间和便利设施。
46 大房子在美国被宣传为什么?
A) 无家可归者的奢侈品。
B) 勤奋工作的回报。
C) 丰富的舒适源。
D) 快乐的绝对必需品。
47 居住面积增大带来了哪些后果?
A) 许多美国人的生活质量降低了。
B) 来自不同背景的人不再社交。
C) 人们不再能够使用公共游泳池。
D) 许多美国人的私人生活受到了负面影响。
48 居住面积增大引发了什么问题?
A) 与道德原则有关的问题。
B) 与劳动成本有关的问题。
C) 关于应该推广什么样的生活方式的问题。
D) 关于住房发展的问题。
49 作者认为什么样的社会制度是不可接受的?
A) 富人利用低工资劳动者建造房屋。
B) 富人以越来越不合理的价格购买便利设施。
C) 上层阶级剥夺了下层阶级的经济负担得起的住房。
D) 富人以牺牲穷人为代价享受更舒适的生活。
50 作者主张人们过上好生活的方式是什么?
A) 找到方法将私人空间变为公共空间。
B) 建造更多贫困人士负担得起的房屋。
C) 为每个人创造更多公共空间。
D) 使富人和穷人都能够享受所有的便利设施。
