Questionsare based on the following passage.
In London, over half of the homes built between 1919 and 1980 had one garage.But many arebecoming needless.Between 2002 and 2012 the proportion of vehicles kept in garages at night droppedfrom 22% to 14%.This is in part because some households now have more cars than garage space.Butit is also because big modern cars do not fit in older garages, says David Leibling, a transport expert.
Few rust when left outside, and many are more difficult to steal: between 2003 and 2013 the number ofvehicle being stolen in England and Wales fell 76%.Instead, garages now solve a different set ofproblems.
Householders unable to move to larger homes have taken to filling their garages with unnecessaryand unwanted things.Some garages have been converted for aging parents for their convenience, says Paul Bishop, who runs a garage conversion company in Bedfordshire.Also, some young people unableor unwilling to leave home may have an option to live in the garage.In addition, a garage may be rentedto young folks fond of music.It is, more often than not, an ideal place to freely play music.
However, many publicly owned garages lie empty.Of the 6,000 garages owned by Hackney
council, around 40% are free.Over 3,000 garages owned by ten housing associations are unused and the land they take up is unfit for building homes upon, says Steve O"Connell, a councilor at the London Assembly.He thinks they could be turned into small offices.That has already happened in places such as Berlin.
Nevertheless converting garages can be troublesome, says Bill Hodgson of University College London.Few councils are enthusiastic enough to truly support the idea and put it into practice.A recent proposal to turn some garages in north London into shelters for the homeless has been rejected; councillors feared that local residents would not approve.Getting planning permission can be complex,
and developing on local authority land is often faced with various kinds of problems.Like the garages themselves, these plans may be useless and abandoned.
In the viewpoint of David Leibling, many garages are unused for velficles in that__________. 查看材料

参考解答
正确答案:C
定位:由题干中的DavidLeibling,manygarages和unused定位到原文第一段第五句。详解:事实细节题。本题考查大卫·雷柏林认为许多车库没被使用的原因。原文第一段第五句提到,运输专家大卫·雷柏林说,也因为现代化的大型汽车与老旧的车库并不匹配。C.中的suit是原文中ntin的同义转述,故答案为C.。A.“车库里被偷汽车的数量下降了76%”与第一段第六句的信息不符。原文提到,英格兰和威尔士被偷汽车的数量下降了76%。这个数字统计的是放在车库外面的汽车,而非车库里面的,故排除;B.“现代化的大型汽车放在车库里会生锈”是对第一段第六句的曲解,原文只提到汽车放在车库外面很少会生锈,并未提及放在车库里面会如何,故排除;D.“一些家庭拥有的车库比汽车多”与第一段第四句“一些家庭拥有的汽车数量比车位数量多”相矛盾,故排除。
