These public housing units provide homes for more than 70 per cent of Singapores population. The old Singapore with its two-storey Chinese shophouses and idyllic Malay th

13、atched roof or kampung houses is very quickly disappearing. Every day, more and more people are resettling in blocks of simply designed flats. These are concentrated in a dozen new towns scattered all over the island.The new towns are, in fact, large housing estates, well-spaced from one another. Th

14、ey are self-contained in terms of recreational and leisure facilities. Schools, markets, shops, clinics, car-parks and other amenities are all within walking distance.The public housing programme in Singapore was launched more than 50 years ago with the setting up of the Singapore Improvement Trust.

15、 The shortage of funds, however, prevented it from making progress. About 30 years later, the Housing Development Board was formed. This marked the beginning of a successful public housing scheme.Today, the Housing Development Board constructs and buids a large variety of flats. They range from simp

16、le one-roomed flats to luxurious air-conditioned ones. This is to cater for the different income groups.The latest statistics show that the majority of these flats are owner-occupied. This is a result of the home-ownership scheme, which grants large loans with repayment spread over 20 years, at low

17、interest rates. Through this scheme, many tenants have been able to buy the flats and become owners.Carrying out the building projects has not been an easy task for the Housing Development Board. Besides labour and material shortages, there are also problems of a different nature. Some squatters and

18、 slum-dwellers are reluctant to quit their old homes for new flats, complaining of high rentals. Tradition-minded shopkeepers in the city also show reluctance towards resettlement. They believe that luck and prosperity is attached to their residence no matter how dilapidated its state is. However, i

19、n spite of these problems, the Housing Development Board has achieved its primary objective of solving the housing problem.21. A large number of Singaporeans live_.A. along the coast B. in public housing unitsC. in rubber estates D. in kampung houses22. The new towns are located_.A. all over the isl

20、and B. along the coastC. in the city center D. in the small village23. If the residents of a new town want to do some shopping, they_.A. must go to a larger town B. can do it within their own townC. cannot go to other towns D. must ask the government for help24. The public housing program was succes

21、sful because of_.A. the Singapore Improvement Trust B. the new towns housing policyC. the Housing Development Board D. the tradition-minded shopkeepers25. All of the following account for the difficulty in carrying out the building projects except_.A. the Housing Development Board lacks money and la

22、borB. some residents complain that the rentals are too highC. residents are aided by the home-ownership schemeD. shopkeepers do not want to leave their old houses(2) A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes. Most ty

23、pical history courses concentrate on politics, economics, and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology. In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors

24、or of people very different from our owncan be provided by art. In short, art expresses the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offers us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books.In history books, objective in formation about the political life

25、of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “political” artist. In his well-known painting The Third

26、of May, 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people. Over a hundred years later, symbolic images were used in Pablo Picassos Guernica to express the horror of war. Meanwhile, on another continent, the powerful paintings of Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco, and Da

27、vid Alfaro Siqueirosas well as the works of Alfredo Ramos Martinezdepicted these Mexican artists deep anger and sadness about social problems. In the same way, art can reflect a cultures religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. C

28、hurches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldnt read, they could still understand biblical stories in the pictures on church walls. By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East wa

29、s (and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic(伊斯兰教的)belief that statues are unholy.26. More can be learned about a culture from a study of art history than general history becauseart history_.A. shows us the religious and emotions of a people in addition to polit

30、ical valuesB. provides us with information about the daily activities of people in the pastC. gives us an insight into the essential qualities of a time and a placeD. all of the above27. Art is subjective in that_.A. a personal and emotional view of history is presented through itB. it can easily rouse our anger or sadness about social problemsC. it will find a ready echo in our heartsD. both B and C28. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?_A. Unlike Francisco Goya, Pablo Pic
