阅读理解 People living on parts of the south coast of England face a serious problem. In 1933, the owners of a large hotel and of several houses discovered, to their surprise that their gardens had disappeared overnight. The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliff (悬崖) on which they had been built. While ex-perts were studying the problem, the hotel and several houses disappeared altogether, sliding down the cliff and into the sea.
Erosion (侵蚀) of the white cliffs along the south coast of England has always been a problem but it has become more serious in recent years. Dozens of homes have had to be aban-doned as the sea has crept farther and farther inland. Experts have studied the areas most affected and have drawn up a map for local people, forecasting the year in which their homes will be eaten up by the hungry sea.
Angry owners have called on the Government to erect sea defenses to protect their homes. Government surveyors have pointed out that in most cases, this is impossible. New sea walls would cost hundreds of millions of pounds and would merely make the waves and currents further along the coast, shifting the problem from one area to another. The danger is likely to continue, they say, until the waves reach an inland ar-ea of hard rock, which will not be eaten as limestone is. Mean-while, if you want to buy a cheap house with an uncertain fu-ture, apply to a house agent in one of the threatened areas on the south coast of England. You can get a house for a knock-down price but it may turn out to be a knockdown home.1.What is the cause of the problem that people living on parts of the south coast of England face?A.The rising of the sea level.B.The experts’ short of knowledge.C.The washing-away of limestone cliff.D.The disappearance of hotels, houses and gardens.2.The erosion of the white cliffs in the south of England ________.A.will soon become a problem for people living in central EnglandB.has now become a threat to the local residentsC.can be stopped if proper measures are takenD.is quickly changing the map of England3.The experts’ study on the problem of erosion can ________.A.warn people whose homes are in dangerB.provide an effective way to slow it downC.help to its eventual solutionD.lead to its eventual solution(www.nmet168.com)4.It is not feasible to build sea defenses to protect against erosion because ________.A.house agents along the coast do not support the ideaB.it is too costly and will endanger neighboring areasC.the government is too slow in taking actionD.they will be easily knocked down by waves and currents

CBAB解析本文讲述英国南海岸一带居民面临的问题，他们的家园将被海水吞食，继而引发了居民和政府对待这一问题的不同态度和处理办法
1.C第一段中说到The sea had eaten into the soft limestone cliff，造成的结果是悬崖倒塌，房屋消失，因此选c。
2.B对当地居民造成的影响较大，只有当海水到达岩石层的时候才不会发生此类事情，在当地采取措施，费用昂贵也没什么好的效果。第三段中对此说明比较详细。
3.A专家们只能预测发生危险的大概时间，但没有最终解决问题的办法。
4.B第三段中New sea walls... one area to another说明了问题。
