it was a way to transform a nation.no wonder leaders of all political types wanted to spend more than $100 billion a year on subsidies and tax breaks to encourage people to buy. but the dark side of homeownership is now all too apparent: indeed, easy lending stimulated by the cult of homeownership may have triggered the financial crisis. housing remains a drag on the economy. existing-home sales in april dropped 27% from the prior month, worsening fears of a double-dip. and all that is just the obvious tale of a housing bubble and what happened when it popped.the real story is deeper and darker still.for the better part of a century, politics, industry and culture lined up to create a fetish of the idea of buying a house.homeownership has done plenty of good over the decades; it has provided stability to tens of millions of families. yet by idealizing the act of buying a home, we have ignored the downsides. in the bubble years, lending standards slipped dramatically, allowing many americans to put far too much of their income into paying for their housing. and we ignored longer-term phenomena too.homeownership contributed to the hollowing out of cities and kept renters out of the best neighborhoods. it fed americasover use of energy and oil. it made it more difficult for those who had lost a job to find another. perhaps worst of all, it helped us become casually self-deceiving: by telling ourselves that homeownership was a pathway to wealth and stable communities and better test scores, we avoided dealing with these frightening issues head-on. now, as the u.s. recovers from the biggest housing bust（破产）since the great depression, it is time to rethink how realistic our expectations of homeownership areand how much money we want to spend chasing them. many argue that homeownership should not be a goal pursued at all costs.1. political leaders wanted to spend money encouraging people to buy houses because _.a. owning a home was undoubtedly goodb. homeownership was unconquerablec. houses could save families and americad. homeownership could shape a country2.the underlined sentence in para. 2 means _.a. homeownership has quite a lot of bad effects b. there might be another housing break down in the u.s.c. the existing-home sales will keep decreasing in the u.s.d. the result of homeownership is much worse than it appears3.it can be inferred from para. 3 that _.a. it is hard for americans to get a home loan b. it is the way to wealth to have ones own housec. many americans choose to live out of urbanareasd. homeownership has made many people out of work4.what is the authors attitude towards homeownership?a. favorable. b. ambiguous. c. cautious. d. optimistic.【参考答案】81.ddcc信息匹配。根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。(2014唐山模拟)hollywood movies are regularly filled with sex and violence. they can be exciting films but sometimes all you want is a little light-hearted entertainment. have you heard of bollywood? all singing, all dancing and unrealistic, it is the perfect alternative to normal hollywood movies. bollywood is the indian film industry, based in mumbai, formerly known as bombay. 1yet bollywood is the largest producer of films in the world. this year the indian filmfare awards, bollywoods oscars, turn 50 years old. the typical bollywood movie usually has the following ingredients(构成要素): a cup of romance, a tea-spoon of comedy, a dash of international sightseeing, served with a huge slice of singing and dancing. there will also be one brave hero, one beautiful heroine and one baddy. 2bollywood films are full of ideal things and free of daily worries. 3the actors change clothes and locations within a single song. but the audience dont mind. to indian movie lovers, especially the poor, such films are a gateway to heaven and the stars are their gods. the films take them to a magical world away from their everyday troubles. the films tell them the impossible is possible and that true love conquers all. 4
