题文
阅读理解。 When you see homework covering the kitchen table and toys are piling up around the sofa, youprobably wish there was a bit more space. You are not alone. Nearly a third of parents say they feel
squeezed into their homes but cannot afford to move to a bigger property,a report reveals today.
Twenty-nine percent say 'their property is too small to fit the size of their family'-rising to 40 percent
for those 34 and under. One in four children is 'forced to share'a bedroom, according to the
Finda-Property. Com website. Property analyst Samantha Baden said:"Afford-ability remains a key issue
for families, with the average cost of a three-bedroom home around ￡ 193,000."Very few can afford
to buy - or to rent - a property of the size they want and in the area they desire to live in, according to
Miss Baden.
A recent report, from investment firm LV, also found that many 'space-starved parents'are pushed
into a two-bedroom home which was perfect when they were a young couple, but has no space for three
or so children. Grown-up children who cannot afford to leave home are also adding to the problem facing
families in Britain's 'big squeeze'.
For a home to be the correct size, which means it is not overcrowded, parents must have their own
bedroom. Children under ten can share, as well as same-sex children between ten and 20.Any-one over
21 also needs their own room.
The report comes as official figures, published yesterday by the Land Registry, revealing house prices
are falling sharply in every region except London. The worst - hit area is the North East, where average
house prices have fallen to below ￡ l00,000 for the first time in seven years. However, they remain
unaffordable for millions.l. According to Paragraph l, the report reveals .A. children like to do homework in the kitchen

考点
据考高分专家说，试题“阅读理解。 When.....”主要考查你对 [日常生活类阅读 ]考点的理解。日常生活类阅读
日常生活类阅读的概念：
日常生活这一话题主要涉及人们衣食住行等方面的活动。这一话题的选材主要针对人们日常的工作，生活以及学习情况。做这一类题时，最主要的是要把握好人物的活动内容，时间和地点。
日常生活类阅读题答题技巧：
【题型说明】
该类文章内容涉及到人们的言谈举止、生活习惯、饮食起居、服饰仪表、恋爱婚姻、消遣娱乐、节日起源、家庭生活等。文章篇幅短小，追根溯源，探索各项风俗的历史渊源，内容有趣。命题也以送分题为主，如事实细节题、语义转换题、词义猜测题和简单推理判断题等。虽然这类文章读起来感觉轻松，试题做起来比较顺手，但绝不能掉以轻心。因为稍不留神，就会丢分。
【备考提醒】
为了保证较高准确率，建议同学们做好以下几点：
1、保持正常的考试心态。笔者在教学中发现，越是容易的试题，同学们越是容易失分。为什么呢？因为在这种情况下，同学们极易产生麻痹思想，认为题目好做，就不引起高度重视，于是思维不发散、不周密。而命题人就是利用同学们的这一弱点，设计陷阱题。所以，无论试题难易与否，我们都要保持正常的考试心态。试题容易，不欣喜；试题难，不悲观。
2、根据前面讲到的方法，认认真真、细细心心做好事实细节题。
3、做好语义转换题。这类题是根据英语中一词多义和某些词语在文中能表达一定的修辞意义的原则而设计的。要求同学们解释某生词的含义，确定多义词或短语在文中的意思，确认文中的某个代词所指代的对象，或者对英语中特有的表达、格言、谚语进行解释。这种题要求同学们一定要根据上下文猜测词义或理解句子，切不可望文生义。
4、做好简单推理判断题。简单推理判断题要以表面文字为前提，以具体事实为依据进行推理，做出判断。这种推理方式比较直接，只要弄清事实，即可结合常识推断出合理的结论。
